Theme for this month: hearing Gods voice
Life changing, destiny shaping, walking in Gods peace no matter the circumstances.
Sharing time.
God speaking to us:
When we're reading the bible
In situations, events, etc
In prayer, meditation & reflection
Internally, directed thoughts
Dreams, awake visions,
Music,
Through strangers, friends, words from others.
God has called us to pursue Him, we need to be active listeners, not passive sheep.
Disobeying does have consequences, but they might not be as obvious as you'd like
Be still and know that I am God Psalm __:36
Distractions, not making time, selfish desires, "busyness"
The foreign feeling of Quietness
Samuel 3:1-11?
The word chose to speak to Samuel.
Why not so much? Complacency, normalness, not a miracle, distractions, not hungering for God,
Joel 2:28 young men will receive visions, older men will see dreams
Esther 4:12 Esther interceded for her people.
How should you balance your life input?
Who should you allow to have influence over you?
Take everything to God first, pray and ask for wisdom when dealing for inputs.
God has the final say, people make mistakes.
1 Kings 19:11-12
'The more you listen to His voice, the louder it gets.'
Psalm 37:4 "...and He will give you the desires of your heart."
As we align our hearts with the Lords purpose our desires become one.
Idols.
Change of Heart
Your will be done
The Bible *is* the primary way that a God speaks to you
Recap:
Audible voice
Still small voice
Desires
Bible
Being intentional, using your off time, scheduling time.
