The essence of knowing God’s will for our lives... is to hear His voice.

We began a new series this past Sunday, designed to help us believe that God still speaks to us and that I can hear his voice. I shared 4 reasons last Sunday why I believe God speaks to us:

1. It is God’s nature to communicate.--He does so in many unique and powerful ways. The heavens cry out and nature speaks volumes to us.
2. We were created to speak and to hear.--We were created in the image of God. He walked and talked in the Garden and had open communication with his creation.
3. Jesus said so! -- He said many times. “My sheep know my voice.” We know His voice because He speaks and we can Hear.
4. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would speak to us-- “He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears.” John 16:13

God speaks so that we may take action.When we hear God’s voice, the evidence will be observable.

Inside information must produce outside evidence.

God doesn’t speak to hear himself talk. He speaks to make real things happen.

So the question we should be asking isn't, "Does God still speak to us today," but rather "Am I willing to listen".

In your prayer time this week, ask God to speak to you. Seek Him earnestly. God wants to communicate with you.

Which voice will guide you this week?

Right thinking,
