AUGUST 16, 2020

SESSION 2

1 CORINTHIANS 2:6-16; JOHN 16:13-15

Review: He speaks; Our “hearing issues” Hindrances; Practical Approach: Praise and Thanksgiving; Invitation (Revelation 3:20)

è Revelation 3:20; Remember Luke 11:11-13

è How Do We Hear the Voice of God

• The Word (Logos, Scripture)

 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; John 6:63; Spirit Breathes Life to the Written Word; Acts 11:12 – “Spirit told me”

• The Spoken Word (John 16:13)

 Our receiver (heart, spirit) hears an internal word or message

 Internal images; impression

 Ask simple, direct questions! Listen for response.

è Other ways the Holy Spirit speaks:

• Inner, peaceful, clear direction. (Knowing) Acts 15:28

• Restraint: Acts 16:6,7

• Counsel and Covering: Acts 12:17; Acts 21:18

• Others: Acts 21:4; Acts 21:10-14

• Circumstances alignment – “Doors” Acts 14:27; Colossians 4:3
