Learning The Voice Of The Lord

Summary:

The Lord is speaking, are we listening?

My sheep know My voice, and a stranger they will not follow.

Show Notes:

• God can and does speak through a host of various vessels

• When someone is speaking and there is condemnation in it, that is not the word of the Lord

• Jesus spoke what He heard the Father say, so should we.

Quotes:

• It is crucial to have experiential knowledge with His word

• It is obvious when one is speaking a word from the Lord

• Your circumstances can talk to you, I know that voice...

• There must be confirmation

Take Away:

Get someone to pray for you to have ears to hear, then listen. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you when reading the scriptures, listen to a five year old child and “perhaps the Lord would speak through that child to you”.
