Pastor J. Maratta

In a world of many different opinions and voices, Pastor Maratta gives scripture on how we can navigate through the noise and focus on what the Lord is saying.

John 3:5–8

Psalm 37:23–24, Psalm 37:31, 1 Kings 19:13,

1 Corinthians 14:10, Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, Matthew 18:16,

2 Corinthians 13:1, Galatians 5:16, John 15:7, Colossians 3:16

John 6:63, Ephesians 3:14–21

3 Fold Cord - Hearing from God

1. Spirit

2. Word

3. Church - A pastor and church family.

Spiritual Pitfalls

1. The Spirit with no Word = Mysticism

2. The Word with no Spirit = Legalism

3. The Spirit and the Word = Will put you in a Spirit/Word church.

  Mantel of Obedience

Alms - Submitting your living  by giving

Prayers - Submitting your spirit  (humility)

Fasting - Submitting your body by denial
