Key Takeaways:

• Trust is foundational in hearing God’s voice and receiving His messages.

• God’s reliability is emphasized in Scripture, and trusting Him requires faith and action.

• Personal stories of faith, like giving away finances, highlight God’s provision when trust is placed in Him.

• The relationship with God is reciprocal; while we trust God, we need to be trustworthy in return.

• Practicing trust and showing commitment to God can lead to a clearer understanding of divine communication.

Notable Quotes:

• "Trust lies at the heart of any relationship. If we don't trust someone, we won't hear or receive what they say."

• "Through that whole experience, I learned that God is trustworthy, that God is not a human being who lies."

• "The question is, will we say yes? Jesus said that we show our love for God by what we do."

• "When the Spirit calls us, we can trust God's words."

The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit. When we choose to follow Jesus, the Spirit speaks to remind us of all that Jesus established and apply it to our lives.

So how does the Spirit speak? How do we know it’s God? And what happens afterwards? Join Rev Dr Tania Harris as she explores what the Spirit is saying to us. Everyday God Conversations will encourage you weekly to reflect on the God-conversations of Scripture, the ultimate God-conversation in Jesus and to hear from the Holy Spirit yourself. Remember, it was never meant to be a one-way conversation!
