DOES GOD SPEAK TODAY?

IF HE DOES, HOW CAN I HEAR HIM?

è Review

• HE IS a Speaking God

 The Word, the Spirit’s witness, messengers

 LOVE’S voice

 The mind of Christ

 His voice sounds like ….

è We are wired to hear His voice (John 10:3-5)

è Clutter and static

• The world …. The flesh …. The devil (diabolos, accuser, liar, 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:10; John 8:44)

è Clearing the static

• Worship …. The Lord draws near

• The Word …. Meditation and declaration

• Prayer …. Speaking and listening

• Discipline …. Refusal to engage in anything else

è Impressions in your inner man

• Acts 15:28; Philippians 2:13 “God is at work in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure”

• Legitimacy tests …. Is it True to the Word

 Does the Spirit bear witness?

 Does wise and mature counsel agree?

 Does it last?

 Is it peaceful if not comfortable?

è Overruled! (Acts 16:7)

• Romans 8:28
