Gods voice is in the wind; Job asked God why certain things went wrong with his life and God

”Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?“

‭‭Job‬ ‭38‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

What disqualifies you from hearing God;

Hebrews 3:15 – If You Hear His Voice Do Not Harden Your Hearts

As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion

What Qualify you to hear from God

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

- 1. **Silence and Stillness:**

- Scripture: Psalm 46:10 - "Be still, and know that I am God."

Silence has to do with the physical environment, while stillness refers to the soul…

How to make your soul still

Phil4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 You hear from God through teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture Is God-Breathed

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work

A covenant is more than a mere contract; it is a sacred and unbreakable promise between the Almighty and His people. Let us explore this divine connection through the lens of Scripture.

Jeremiah 33:20

God says, 'If my covenant with day and my covenant with night ever fell apart so that day and night became haphazard and you never knew which was coming and when,

21 then and only then would my covenant with my servant David fall apart and his descendants no longer rule. The same goes for the Levitical priests who serve me

I. Definition of Covenant:

A. Covenant in the Bible: The Bible defines a covenant as a solemn agreement established between God and His people. It goes beyond a legal transaction; it is a relational bond built on trust and faithfulness.

B. Key Elements:

1. Promises: God's covenant is marked by His promises to His people. As seen in Genesis 17:7, God declares, "I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you."

2. Conditions: While God's promises are unwavering, His covenants often come with conditions. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 emphasizes obedience as a key condition for receiving God's blessings.

II. Biblical Covenants:

A. Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 17):

1. Promise of Descendants: God assures Abraham of descendants as numerous as the stars.

2. Sign of Circumcision: Circumcision becomes a visible sign of the covenant.

B. Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19-24):

1. Covenant at Mount Sinai: God establishe

Salvation and Eternity Assured in Christ: Understanding Eternal Security"

Introduction:

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we delve into the profound theological concept of eternal security – the assurance that those who genuinely embrace Christ as Savior are eternally secure in their salvation. Let us explore this topic with open hearts and minds, seeking wisdom from God's Word.

I. Foundation of Eternal Security: God's Unchanging Nature

Scripture: Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8

God's faithfulness and unchanging nature lay the foundation for our eternal security. As He declared in Malachi, "I the Lord do not change." The consistency of God's character ensures the reliability of His promises.

He

II. The Work of Christ: A Secure Foundation

Scripture: Romans 8:38-39, John 10:27-29

Paul, in Romans, affirms that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Jesus, in John, assures us that His sheep will never perish. The finished work of Christ on the cross is the secure foundation of our eternal salvation.

III. Perseverance Through God's Power

Scripture: Philippians 1:6, Jude 1:2 by 4-25

God's power ensures our perseverance. Paul, writing to the Philippians, expresses confidence that God will complete the work He began in believers. Jude declares that God is able to keep us from stumbling.

IV. Sealed by the Holy Spirit: A Divine Guarantee

Scripture: Ephesians 1:13-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

The Holy Spirit seals believers, marking them as God's own. In Ephesians, Paul emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance. This seal is a divine pledge of our eternal security.

V. Scriptural Examples of Assurance

Scripture: Romans 8:1, John 5:24

Paul declares in Romans that there is no condemnation for those in Christ. Jesus, in John, assures that those who hear His word and believe have eternal life and will not come into judgment.

VI. Addressing Challenges and Misunderstandings

Scripture: Hebrews 6:4-6, 2 Peter 2:20-22

Acknowledge and address passages that seem to suggest the possibility of falling away. Context is crucial in understanding these verses. Highlight the importance of perseverance in faith.

How to properly interpret

Hebrews 6:4-6

"For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt."

Interpretation:

This passage is often seen as a warning against apostasy, but it doesn't necessarily imply that genuine believers can lose their salvation. Some argue that these verses describe individuals who have experienced significant spiritual encounters yet fall away willfully. It emphasizes the seriousness of turning away from the faith and the difficulty of repentance once someone has knowingly rejected Christ.
