19 July 2015 Ps Chris Thompson - Discerning Gods voice.

 - The capacity for us to discern Gods voice.

Jn 10 - How to hear Gods voice.

 - God doesn't only dwell in the supernatural, because if you focus solely on that you can introduce evil into your life. But you can also miss out on the Holy Spirit.

- Two ways to hear Gods voice.

 *1. - The Bible -Gods Word.

Gen 1:3 - God speaks creation into being.

 - God is connected to his creation, through his word.

 -Satan didn't attack Christ at the crucifixion. But rather, attacked Gods word. Because of the importance of Gods' word.

1 Cor - The gifts of redemption, based in the eternity of Gods' plan.

 - The Bible is the only way we can acknowledge Gods' interaction.

 - We can only interact with God, because the Bible tells us how to work with him.

*2. - His audible voice.

 - We are Holy because God is present in us. Just as when Moses approached the burning bush. God told him to remove his shoes, because he was on Holy ground. Because God was present.

*3. - Angels.( messengers of the Lord).

 - We should still test what Angels tell us against the word of God, because fallen Angels can still speak to us.

 - Honor the prophets, but still test the prophesies against Gods' word. This is our due diligence.

 - Prophecy can be the exception. But Gods' word is the rule!

 - The prophetic vision, is only a portion of what is to come. Because if we are shown everything, we may be tempted to try to do it on our own. But we are not equipped to be able to do it on our own, and will likely fail.

 - God works in wise counsel

Jn 10:3-5 - The sheep recognise the masters voice, and follow him. As we should also know the true masters voice when he speaks to us.

 - We need to understand Gods word, so we can stand in unity as Gods' people.

 - Jesus is the finger of God, and has come to us, and is within us every day.
