More than how to hear God in Bible days was that God could speak to anybody. It was, and will always be about God’s ability and willingness to do so.

We tend to think that God speaks through the spectacular things just like Elijah thought. But the truth is that God was in the ‘still small voice’, the least expected experience to hearing God.

Don't limit God in your life. He wants to speak to you about everything possible, as long as your heart is willing.

The mere idea of purpose presupposes the existence of a creator, and when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.

Many people feel empty because they have not discovered their purpose.

There is a greater reason why man was created by God. It is so that His ultimate plan of filling the earth with His knowledge will be fulfilled.

God in us, is better than God with us.

The primary infrastructure for hearing God is the Holy Spirit within us. In your bid to hear God clearly, avoid searching for mysterious and mystical ways to do so.

Leading by the Spirit comes from an inner witness within us that first confirms we are God’s children. So the same witness for your salvation is the same witness for your leading.

God can, and He wants to lead you. You only have to learn discernment by His Spirit within you.

The biggest proof of divine leading is salvation. It started morally before directionally. Those little nudges are leadings- going to church, reading your Bible.

It is dangerous to ignore the leadings of God.

Every time you ignore the nudges of God you desensitize yourself to His voice but every time you follow the little you get stronger in recognizing what He is saying next time.

Your passion, zeal, and Godly jealousy can be pointers to the leadings of God.

God sees beyond what we can see so He knows how best to guide and lead us. Being led by Him is a privilege because He knows the outcome of it all. God's love should influence our theology of hearing from Him.

It is important to know that every believer can be led by the Spirit of God. Not because of your level of fervency, but because God said He would lead us!

Leaps and Bounds Conference Day 2

As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Catalyst Church, we are careful to recognize how the sufficiency and zeal of the Lord have brought us this far.

The zeal of the Lord is God’s jealous commitment to his plan.

To experience the zeal of the Lord, you must align yourself with the purpose of God.

Believe with all of your might and your soul, what God has spoken and the zeal of the Lord will perform it.

There are two things you need to know about the Glory of God:

1. The glory of God is a message.

2. The glory of God is also an atmosphere.

The message of God is Salvation through Christ Jesus.

You hear the message, the message brings you into an atmosphere.

Remembering the extent of the work of Christ will always bring you to a place of consecration. Devotional fervor is something you can experience consistently. But it requires discipline.

The cure to prayerlessness is prayer, even when you don't feel like it. A key to sustaining your spiritual fire is surrounding yourself with other believers.

Overcoming temptation requires a response that is controlled spiritually because how you react ultimately influences the outcome.

To truly conquer temptation, it's essential to respond not with your thoughts, but with the Word of God.

To be made in the image of God means that you have an inherent resemblance to God in your being, including rationality, morality, freewill, and spiritual nature.

This is fundamental to your existence and your relationship with God.

The image of God you've been created in should not react negatively to devotion. So, whenever you find yourself not fully devoted and submitted to God, it indicates a distortion of your image.

When this happens, remind yourself that you have been transformed into the image of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
