Learning from today's fellowship

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:27-28

Your TV device will not display videos of it's not turned on. Except for rare occasions, we need to be expectant if we want to hear from God.

When we adjust our environment to usher in the presence of God, we don't tune our TV to pornographic channel expecting to hear God in that environment, no. You tune your mind, environment and focus on where you expect a message from.

Note that a quarrelsome spirit will not hear God, a confused mind cannot hear God neither can you hear God doing satanic/occultic things.

If we don't know God personally, we can't hear from Him. If we can't hear from Him, Even our Pastor can mislead us as in the case of the old and young prophet in 1kings 13.

God speaks 1st to us concerning little things to know if we will obey. Our failure to obey will shut the channel of communication.

How do you know if the voice you are hearing is God's?
1, Messages that comes with fear is not from God. His words comes with peace and direction.
2, Any word contrary to the word of God is not fron God.
3, You must yearn for His voice. Jer. 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

When we hear Him, God is very interested in our obedience. Some of our blessings are hanging because we fail to be obedient. You say God has been silent to you.... have you obeyed His last word with you? The Holy Spirit will keep quiet when we begin to argue with Him. He is waiting for us before His next word. When we obey in little things, He will instruct us on bigger things.

It is when you are close to someone that you hear from Him. You get close to God by:
1, Giving your life to Him. You have to be His own to hear from Him.
2, Read the word
3, Worship Him.

No matter what has gone wrong in your family, hearing and obeying God will turn this tide from you. At the wedding at cannan, John 2, it was not only the word that turned the water to wine, it was also the obedience of the servants.

Yearn for Him.
Hear Him.
Obey Him.
He will surely visit you.

Shalom!
