THE MESSAGE
TEXT - Job chapter 33 verse 14
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
Hearing from God is crucial but it does not come automatically, we have to learn how to hear from God. Hearing from God is not just for pastors and spiritual giants or some special people. In John 10:27, Jesus was talking to people who were listening to Him and He said, my sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me. You have to become a sheep of Jesus to hear from Him. Any child of God that does not hear from God has not started living but managing to live.
Everyone must embark on hearing clearly from God because God is speaking. Revelation 2:7,9 &11. Revelation 3: 6 &13 said the same thing repeatedly - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. God can’t leave you without guiding you.
A sheep and a vehicle without a pilot will run into problems.
HOW DOES GOD COMMUNICATE WITH US?
1.REVELATION.
When something is covered and God opens your eyes to see.
Ephesians 3:3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,
In Psalm 19:1The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork, God communicates through revelation.
2.INSPIRATION.
Knowing what others don’t know. Things others didn't know, you are just inspired to know it.
Job 32:8, But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
3.ILLUMINATION.
God can shed light on what is dark.
Psalm 18:28, For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
If you don't want to live a frustrated life and a life that is not in accordance with the will of God, you must know what God is saying. If you don't want to go before your time, you need to hear from God.
THE TESTIMONY OF A BROTHER.
A brother prayed before commencing his journey, and the Lord opened his eyes, he saw blood. He didn't go with the vehicle he was supposed to travel with and He waited for another one. He discovered later that the first vehicle had an accident.
A christian that can't hear God is not living the way he ought to live.
Revelation 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Acts 27:21
If you are a child of God it is essential for you to hear from God.
WHY DOES GOD SPEAK?
1.To warn people of danger.
Acts 27:21-25, Paul warned the people ahead of time but they didn't listen.
Matthew 2:12, And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
2. To give a picture of your destiny.
2 Corinthians 5:17 If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature.
John 1:12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power.
As a child of God, you are entitled to know what God has for your destiny.
Genesis 37:5-10, Joseph saw his destiny clearly.
Isaiah 3:10. Every believer ought to have a glimpse of what his destiny looks like.
3. To reveal the secret of the enemy.
Matthew 2:13.
2 Kings 6:8-12, Elisha was in his house and he will tell the king of Israel about the plan of the king of Syria.
4. To correct people, Genesis 20:3.
5. To give instruction, Genesis 31:11, And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream.
Is it God that led you to the business that you put your money on?
Is it God that led you to the business partner that you hook on?
A cheap visa doesn't mean God is leading you there, it may be a trap from the enemy.
6. To give information.
Genesis 41:1-12, Joseph had information that the king didn't have.
You need to ask God before taking a step, He wants you to fulfil purpose.
7. To reinforce and solidify faith.
Genesis 37:5-10 Joseph kept dreaming.
ADVANTAGES OF HEARING FROM GOD
1. Joy.
Matthew 2:10,When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
2. Satan fears you. Luke 10:18, I beheld Satan as lightning.
2 Corinthians 2:11, You know all the secrets of satan.
3.Your life will be organised. 1 John 4:13, Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
4.You will not move with unprofitable people.
1 Samuel 10:10-12.
The Bible said the association of the fool shall be destroyed.
5. Peace of mind, 2 Kings 6:14-17.
Everybody is living in fear but those that trust in the Lord will be like Mount Zion that can't be moved.
Thou will keep in perfect peace, whose heart rests on you.
6 People will respect you.
2 Kings 13:14.
7. You will know the secrets of God and man.
2 Kings 6:12-13, Elisha always tells the king of Israel about the plan of the king of Syria.
8. You will be spiritually sound. 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah is always on the mountain.
You will not be dumb and deaf to operate the technology of spirituality anymore in the name of Jesus.
HOW MANY VOICES DO WE HAVE?
1.The voice of man.
The audible voice of another human being.
Acts 5:29, 9 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Sometimes the voice of man gives wise counsel but when the voice is contrary to the word of God, ignore it.
2.The voice of satan, Genesis 3:1, 4& 7.
Satan’s voice is full of temptation and lies.
The voice can lead man away from the Lord.
Matthew 4:1-13, Satan tempted Jesus.
Job 1:7-12, Job 2:1-6.
Acts 8:7 unclean spirits, crying with loud voices, came out of many that were possessed.
Luke 4:33-34, a man who has an unclean spirit.
3.The voice of God.
Jesus said believers could know the voice of God and differentiate it from the voice of strangers.
John 10:3-5, the voice of God gives guidance.
Believers are compared with sheep, sheep must be led. You must be led.
Psalm 85:8, I will hear what God the LORD will speak.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE VOICE OF GOD?
God speaks uniquely, personally, progressively, purposefully, consistently, faithfully and unmistakingly.
1.When God speaks to you, it will glorify His name.
Psalm 50:15, thou shalt glorify me.
2. It will cause people to worship God, Proverbs 11:9, but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
3.It will agree with the Bible because God can’t contradict Himself.
Luke 21:33, Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Psalm 119:89, For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
4.Knowledge of God will be imparted. Romans 14:10-13.
5.It will cost you to love others, He doesn't speak to separate. Romans 12:6
6. It will bring the response that makes people like Christ and behave like Him.
Philippians 2:5, Let this mind be in you.
7. It will bring a sense of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33, For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
HOW DOES GOD SPEAKS?
1.God speaks verbally, Exodus 3:4.
2. By signs, Exodus 8:1-30.
3. Messages from the pulpit, Acts 2:37.
4. Anointed counsel. 2 Chronicles 20:21
5. Walking with the holy men and women.
2 Chronicles 20:20, Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
6. Anointed music, 2 Kings 3:15.
7. Anointed meditation, Joshua 1:8.
8.Your conscience, 2 Corinthians 1:12.
The conscience is the power to distinguish between the wrong and right. The internal police man. The judge in you.
Conscience is the voice of God talking to your spirit. Proverbs 20:27.
Human beings are in three folds; body, soul and spirit.
You have flesh and mind.
In the body we have the flesh, bone and blood.
In the souls we have the mind, will and emotion.
In the spirit we have the knowledge, communication and conscience.
9. Divine ideas. Acts 15:25.
10. Intuition - You just know, Acts 25:27.
11.Impression of the heart, Galatians 2:9.
12. Face to face in a two way communication, Exodus 33:11.
13. Through dreams, Genesis 20:36.
14.Through the Bible, 2 Timothy 3:16.
15. Through open vision, Acts 10.
16. Through trance, Acts 10:9.
17. Through prayer, Acts 22:17.
18. Through impression. John 14:26.
19. Through circumstances.
WHAT DO I DO TO HEAR GOD?
1. Salvation, John 10: 3-4 & 26.
John 9:31, Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
John 8:47, He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
You can hear God directly, you don't need a lawyer to talk to your father.
2. Be receptive, John 10:1, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John 10:4, the sheep follow me.
Revelation 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him.
3.Renew your faith, John 10: my sheep hears my voice.
John 10:27, my sheep hears my voice.
Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 Corinthians 5:7, You walk by faith and not by sight.
Renew your faith if you want to hear from God.
Romans 10:17, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
4.You need to be attentive
1 Samuel 3:1-11 the young Samuel was attentive and he heard the voice of God.
God speaks in a quiet environment, listens to him and avoid noise.
Exodus 3:4, turn aside to a good place to hear from God.
5. You need to fix your eyes on Him, Psalm 34:5, They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
Hebrews 12:2, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
Your life will be frustrated without hearing from God.
LET’S PRAY.
Ask God to be born again.
If you are not hearing from God, let Him know that you want to hear; it’s your right as a child of God.
Thank You my Father for the privilege to hear You today again.
I asked You before I came to this podium and You told me to share this.
I pray for everyone listening to me who have given their lives, let today be a new day in their lives; a day of glory and joy. A day of new connection and power.
Every barrier hindering you from hearing from God shall be removed.
Whatever has blocked your ears from hearing will disappear today.
Thank You because it is done already.
In Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.
Let someone say Amen.
AMEN!
God bless you!
