How to Hear God's Voice!

Read Colossians 3:1-16 - So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God (Col. 3:12-16).

Are you objective? This is considered an admirable goal in a rational world. The implication is that if you are influenced by emotion or affection then you can’t think clearly. But the term clearly implies that it is desirable to view everything in the situation (including people) as objects. It also implies that it is best to remain detached and uninvolved. Is this the true perspective from which accurate judgments can be made? It is a small step from being disinterested to being uninterested. Don’t you find that you are better able to assess reality when you are involved and caring?

Lord, what do You want to say to me about Oasis? (I was asking about a ministry called Oasis, but He went a different direction with His answer. ☺️) 

LaWanda – O Jesus, precious Lord. ♪♪ I’m caught up in your presence, I just want to sit here at your feet. I’m caught up in this holy moment.  I never want to leave. ♪♪ This moment is holy, Lord, because YOU are here.

Are you familiar with the story about Jacob wrestling with me? The story says he wrestled with a man, but you would correctly infer that this was no ordinary man. Have you ever wrestled with a God you can’t see? You may recall from the story that the wrestling match took place at night, and further that this man/angel/God was motivated to end the engagement before sunrise when he would have been visible, for no man can see God and live. Do you view this encounter as a positive or negative experience for Jacob? Do you think it would be beneficial for you to wrestle with me?

Linda - Lord, as I read your Word this morning, multiple Scriptures were leaping off the page at me, like popcorn when the kernels begin to pop, one, then two, then too many to count. I love you, Lord, show me what You want me to see, and please make these Words alive in my life.

Do you think that your church has a corner on the truth? Something attracted you to go there in the first place, and the leadership and others attending will reinforce your original assumption that this is the right place for you. But have you ever found truth outside of your tradition? It is there if you look, but this can be a threatening experience if your identity is based on already being in possession of the truth. Are you prepared to engage with other groups for the purpose of finding the best of what they have to offer?

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Virkler and CLU because through them I have learned how to hear God's voice and live by the flow of the Holy Spirit. 

Do you think of yourself as an insider or an outsider? How do you see me? I attended the synagogue up until the day I was called on to read from the scroll. It wasn’t well-received and I was cast out and never went back. So I spent the time of my ministry on earth as an outsider, which was typical of John the Baptist and other prophets. The church established in my name is an insider organization, with, in most cases, membership requirements and an organizational hierarchy. I called those who responded to my message to follow me.
