He's saying something there is something that the Holy Spirit is Speaking in a year spirit right at this very moment Whether you feel like he is or not whether you feel like you deserve his voice or not. That's not the issue It's not what I'm talking about today But I want you to know That you the born-again believer Can hear the Holy Spirit's voice with perfect? Clarity and I truly mean that there's a lot of noise in our world today There are many opinions and many of those opinions sound very convincing You want to know just how much? Opinions can differentiate just go ahead and post anything on Facebook post anything online And I want you to go ahead and as you look at those posts that you post online Look at the comments usually by the third or fourth or sometimes even fifth comment There's debate. There is disagreement. There is name-calling. It could be something as simple as saying Jesus loves you I saw a post that somebody posted it was something along the lines of the father loves you He has grace for you now That's true, but people were so Irritated by that or they felt like they were in need of defending their own belief that they began to speak Against something that the person didn't actually say often we will speak against what someone did not say It's what we heard. It's what we inferred. It's what was in our hearts It's our defensiveness that produces our perspective sometimes and so they had seen that comment And it was an innocent comment. I totally agreed the father is gracious But they were so concerned about people Misunderstanding that statement that they chimed in and said well, you can't forget about the wrath of God Well, of course you can't forget about the wrath and judgment of God We all understand that but that doesn't mean that there isn't a time to talk about grace and vice versa You see we have confirmation bias and we like to stick around with people who believe like we believe and that's dangerous Because if our beliefs are never challenged then we never refine them and if we never refine them then our search for truth Actually begins to become harder to go upon now All these different opinions that vary Something as simple as that post is the man saying Jesus loves you or the grace of God abounds Something that simple invoked a debate and that's because there are many voices. Let me tell you something your family speaks But Jesus needs to come first Satan speaks, but Jesus needs to come first Your emotions speak absolutely your emotions speak sometimes your emotions tell you I don't feel like doing it I don't feel like going to church. I don't feel like praying. I don't feel like reading the word I don't feel like evangelizing. I don't feel like giving of myself anymore. Yes, your emotions speak Your family speaks. Do you really have to go to church so often? Why are you so committed? Is that a cult you've joined? And so the family will begin to speak Satan will begin to speak. He'll tell you God has abandoned you. God does not love you Your sin is too great. God cannot forgive you. You've gone too far this time. You don't belong in the church You don't belong with the people of God the people reject you the people don't love you and Satan Speaks the world speaks The world speaks with its perverse philosophy Hadenism and humanism and new ages that permeate the atmosphere and the airwaves and they tell you to do what feels good Do what you think is right go based upon your judgment and follow your heart But the scripture tells us that the heart is Deceitfully wicked it's so wicked that no one can really comprehend just exactly how wicked it is and they'll say things like oh Well that person identifies as a male or female. Look, can I just be straight up with you? The Bible teaches that God created two genders. That's it. And so people will say I feel this way Oh, I feel connected with that and it's nonsense. It's illogical and people will say well, that's hateful to share It's not hateful. It's just the truth. I don't hate anybody who is confused I just tried to tell them the truth in love now. Why do I bring this up? I bring this up simply to make the point that there are many many many opinions that are out there in In fact, even false prophets speak false prophets that tell you Jesus is appearing over here Or Jesus is appearing over there or come to my service and you'll see Jesus appear physically or There are those who will tell you that if you give enough money to their ministry You can be healed that if you give enough money to their ministry that everything will work out perfectly fine for you But that is heresy. That's not what the Bible teaches if you give you will receive I believe in prosperity But I don't believe that prosperity is the forefront of the gospel And so we hear all of these voices all of these opinions all of these ideas all of these philosophies coming at us from all different directions and the world is Suffering because of it and the church is reaching and longing for something firm upon which they can stand This is why believer you need to know the voice of the Holy Spirit. In fact The scripture tells us That in the final days in the last days there will be a great falling away and church I'm gonna tell you something I Believe we are in the days of the apostasy Now I want you to hear me because this is serious We are in the days where people have itching ears and they want only to hear what they prefer They don't want to be told the truth They want to be told anything that will comfort their itching ears and that's sad So if you don't know the voice of the Holy Spirit if you don't know the word of God You too will be swept up in this great deception and this is why I'm teaching on this because it's so Important that you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit now. I want you to grab your Bibles and go to Exodus chapter 17 Exodus chapter 17 and I'm gonna be reading by the way. I read out of the new living translation It's my favorite translation because I feel it's a good balance between clarity and accuracy And so Exodus chapter 17 verses 1 through 7. This is a very interesting story Moses had come to a place with the children of Israel in the desert where they were Thirsty and they had no water and the people began to complain against Moses and say did you bring us out here? Just for us to die and this is what the scripture says Exodus chapter 17 verses 1 through 7 at the Lord's command the whole community of Israel Left the wilderness of sin or whore of and move from place to place now on that first verse It's very important that you understand the wilderness of sin is not referring to immorality or man's disobedience It's actually having to do with Sinai. So don't get that word confused there And so they moved from place to place eventually They count at Rapodim, but there was no water there for the people to drink So once more the people complained against Moses Give us water to drink they demanded Quiet Moses replied. Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord? But tormented by their thirst they continued to argue with Moses Why did you bring us out of Egypt? Are you trying to kill us our children and our livestock with thirst? Then Moses cried out to the Lord. What should I do with these people? Many of you pastors have been there What should I do with these people? They are ready to stone me The Lord said to Moses walk out in front of the people Take your staff the one you used when you struck the water of the Nile and Call some of the elders of Israel to join you. I will stand before you on the rock at Mount Sinai Strike the rock now listen to this. He says strike the rock and water will come gushing out Then the people will be able to drink So Moses struck the rock as he was told and water goes gushed out as the elders looked on Moses named the place Massa, which means test and Maraba, which means arguing Because the people of Israel argue with Moses and tested the Lord by saying is the Lord here with us or not? Now this is a wonderful miracle that took place. You could really imagine this The people are thirsty. They think they're going to die. They're fearful and they're complaining against their leader their pastor their their their deliverer that God used Moses and Moses goes to the Lord and says Lord, I need your help on this one. I don't know how I'm going to give the people water Where am I going to get water from the Lord tells Moses to strike the rock and when he struck the rock water came gushing out Now this is a tremendous miracle. This is powerful But then something happened in a separate occasion that was very similar in numbers chapter 20 verses 7 through 12 We find that Moses and the people of Israel find themselves in a similar situation now The locations recorded in the book of Exodus and the book of numbers take place in different locations So these are different events So the narrative in Exodus chapter 17 verses 1 through 7 takes place in the wilderness of sin And then this is in the Sinai Peninsula Now the narrative in numbers chapter 20 that we're about to read this takes place in the wilderness of Zin Which is by the southern area of the Dead Sea So these are two totally different locations and therefore two totally different events But look what happens here numbers chapter 20 verse 7 the scripture says and the Lord said to Moses You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community as the people watch Speak to the rock over there and it will pour out its water So notice the Lord this time tells Moses to speak to the rock. He doesn't have to strike the rock You will provide enough water from the rock to satisfy the whole community and their livestock So Moses did as he was told he took the staff from the place where it was kept before the Lord Then he and Aaron summoned the people to come and gather at the rock. Now. This is Moses being very kind He says listen you rebels. He shouted must we bring you water from this rock Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff And water gushed out So the entire community and their livestock drank their fill But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron Now listen to this. This is what God told Moses Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel You will not lead them into the land. I am giving them Moses Had his destiny altered Because he did not listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit Now Moses was anointed Moses was a powerful friend of God Moses had on several occasions been used by God to deliver the people and perform miraculous feats So what happened? Why was it that Moses? Struck the rock instead of speaking it as the Lord had instructed Well, I believe that he was remembering the event that had happened previously and Instead of listening to what God was speaking in the now He acted based upon what God had spoken then. Isn't it amazing that tradition? Can yield results? But not necessarily take you where God wants to take you you see what's interesting to me is that Moses had struck the rock in Disobedience yet water came forth now. Why was it that Moses struck the rock twice? Well, that's easy It's very simple Moses struck the rock twice Because it didn't work the first time and it didn't work the first time because God was not in it out of frustration He hits it twice and God eventually out of his mercy allows water to flow forward But not out of his will and so Moses saw the results, but it was not the will of God So let me tell you something pastor. Let me tell you something minister. Let me tell you something believer Results Do not prove that you are in the will of God I know many people who do God's work the devil's way and then point and say well look how many people are getting saved Well, look at what we're doing with the money we raise with guilt and gimmicks Well, look at what we're doing with with with the will of God in our lives. No You cannot do God's work the devil's way and expect God to be pleased with you Sure, you'll see results think about this the people in Matthew chapter 7 saw results Did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not cast out devils in your name? Did we not do many wonderful works in your name? They had results, but they were still not in the will of God Tradition cannot replace the voice of the Holy Spirit Systems do not bring us power. Listen. There is no power in systems. There is only power in obedience Power is not found in a system power is found in obedience You see God will change things up because he doesn't want you to figure him out He wants you to walk by faith He wants you to walk in the place of faith and in order to walk in the place of faith You have to be able to hear his voice Moses heard God say speak to the rock and said God says speak but tradition says strike and he followed the way of tradition instead of the way of the spirit and Many of us do this today. We don't hear the voice of the Holy Spirit In fact, we don't even take the time to try to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit And we end up outside of the will of God and say God how did this happen? It's because you're relying upon tradition. You're relying upon talent. You're relying upon systems You're judging your results based upon results when you should be judging it based upon obedience I'll put it to you this way Success is not results. Success is obedience. And so We must be people who hear the voice of God We have to hear the voice of God if we don't hear the voice of God then we're through There's nothing we can do for this world and we have nothing to offer Because the voice of God comes with many benefits and it's not all warning. I'm going to give you There are benefits to hearing the voice of God John chapter 5 verse 19 says Jesus so Jesus explained I tell you the truth the son can do nothing by himself He does only Listen to that. He does only What he sees the father doing Whatever the father does the son also does so Jesus walked in a perfect Obedience toward God and I want you to think about this We pray for the day that we can be obedient to God on a hour by hour Maybe minute by minute basis. We pray for the day that we can come to Christ likeness in that manner But Jesus was so obedient to the father. Jesus was so in tune with God Jesus was so in sync with heaven that he walked in obedience right down to the Miller second Every split second of Jesus's life was lived in perfect obedience. I want you to think about that Every thought he thought every word he spoke Every act he carried out every miracle he performed every life He touched was right in the center of the perfect will of God Jesus walked in perfect synchronicity with heaven and because of this Jesus was very rested. Jesus was very peaceful. Jesus had clarity Jesus knew his purpose. Jesus was effective. Jesus performed miracles Jesus walked in perfect obedience, you know, you'll read in the scripture That Jesus healed Jesus fled Jesus taught Jesus wept Jesus ate She'll never read once in the scripture where Jesus hurried and Jesus never hurried because Jesus was never late and Jesus was never late because Jesus was in the perfect will of God now These benefits can be ours. We too can be like Christ We can walk in that kind of obedience toward God if we lend our ears to the voice of the Holy Spirit We slow down our pace. We slow down the flesh We tell the stole the soul to be still and we lend our spiritual ears to God When you do that you walk in a peace you walk in a confidence You're not struggling trying to do all these different things instead. You walk in a perfect piece You know, I know some ministries that are so unorganized They're chaotic. They don't show up on time for anything. They don't work hard at anything They don't plan for anything and then they expect God to bless them No, God will not bless a mess. God blesses those who walk in obedience Who walk in effectiveness who walk in excellence and who steward well all the resources that he has given them So what did Jesus have by hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit? Well, he had peace Peace can be yours if you walk in the voice of the Holy Spirit Clarity can be yours. You won't be second-guessing everything Purpose, you'll know the purpose that God has given you on this earth You'll be effective Now I'm talking about being truly effective, you know, there are there's a cause for everything nowadays there's a cause for feeding these animals and housing these people and building those projects and there are so many projects and Charities that are wonderful wonderful things and you can be a part of any of them But the truth is that not every single person Who does something good does something effective You see to be truly effective you have to actually make a difference and to actually make a difference you have to impact eternity What does it matter if you feed a man today who's going to hell tomorrow? What does it matter if you clothe a man today? Who's dying in his sins tomorrow? Only what counts for eternity truly counts That's why you need to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit Because when you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, you're making a true impact on eternity and not just the here and now So Jesus had effectiveness also by hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit Jesus had miracles miracles followed the man You know, you don't go chasing signs many believers They chase signs will go from conference to conference event to event just looking for a sign But when you are a person who hears and obeys the voice of the Holy Spirit, you don't have to follow signs Signs will follow you. I love that and I know you love that too So the good news is that you can hear the Lord with perfect clarity You don't have to believe the myth that oh, I have to struggle to hear the voice of God You often hear believers. Oh, I don't know. I don't know if this is God or not And I understand we all come to the place We really want to be certain and I respect that and so does the Lord But then there are those who live in a healthy uncertainty an unhealthy uncertainty of Not knowing the voice of the Holy Spirit So don't believe the myth that you can't hear the voice of God with clarity Okay, so now that I've talked to you about the importance of hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit I want to give you keys to hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and don't forget I'm gonna be praying with you in just a moment. So don't go anywhere I'm not reading the comments yet, but I will read them in just a moment So the benefits of hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit are wonderful We are saved from deception. We have peace. We have clarity. We have purpose. We have effectiveness We see miracles those are wonderful and we actually impact eternity But I want to give you keys right now I'm gonna give you three keys That you can apply right here right now I'm talking within minutes after shutting this video off. You can apply these keys and You will begin to hear the voice of God with more clarity. I know you want that so I'm gonna give it to you So, okay How do you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit? Number one You have to understand that there are really only three voices that speak I'm gonna give this to you right now the three voices that will speak to you the Satanic The secular and the spirit those aren't the three keys, but those are the three voices that will speak Anything you ever hear Any word any message any philosophy any dream any encounter with another person where they speak to you They are either going to be speaking in representation of the Satanic The secular or the spirit there's no in-between So everything you hear is gonna be categorized under one of those three things all the movies you watch All the music you listen to all of the books you read. They're either Satanic their secular or their spiritual now You know the Satanic that's really easy to get the Satanic will always contradict the word of God The word of God gives us a perfectly clear way to discern Against the Satanic the Satanic will always contradict the word of God Number two the secular the secular is a lot more difficult to spot because the secular isn't just about the contradiction of the word of God the secular will contradict the nature of God and The nature of God The nature of the Lord is Much more difficult to understand because you have to spend time in his presence You have to spend time in prayer you have to spend time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit and as you fellowship with the Holy Spirit as you get to know the Lord then you begin to become a person who understands his nature and so The Satanic can be spotted because it contradicts the word of God The secular is more difficult to spot because it contradicts the nature of God You look at something secular and you go I don't think God was it would like this even though it doesn't say it against the word You know God really wouldn't like something like this This doesn't seem like something God would like and then thirdly the spirit The spirit will always align with both the word and the nature of God now I think about Samuel who in first Samuel chapter 3 verses 1 through 10 was called by God to be a prophet remember Samuel was called he said Samuel Samuel and Samuel must took the voice of God for Eli's voice his mentors voice and so Samuel goes to Eli and He says did you call me and Eli says no I didn't call you and he went back to bed and this happened a couple more times before Eli finally realized Oh my goodness, the Lord is speaking to you Samuel. So Eli tells Samuel the next time you go tell that voice Speak Lord your servant here. So here's my point on Samuel. It's possible To hear the voice of God without recognizing the voice of God and I may submit this to you believer. I Believe that you hear the voice of God. You just need to learn to recognize it in other words He's talking to you right now He's saying something to you right now. He's speaking to you right now There's something he's communicating to you in the spirit You just have to learn to to hear and recognize the voice of God So John chapter 10 verse 27 says and this is Jesus talking. He said my sheep hear my voice What does he say my sheep? What they hear my voice and I know them and they follow me So what did he say about his sheep? He said they know my voice Very simple here and make it very simple. The question is not can I hear the voice of God? The question is am I a sheep? Do I belong to him and if you belong to him then you are Hearing the voice of God you hear him right now. He's speaking. So here's how you recognize that what you hear Because you know you think about it and I know I'm Waiting to get to the points I know many of you want me to get to the three keys. I'll give this to you right now But just one more thought here you think about it if I were to say how would you describe my voice to your friends? You would try to describe it, but they wouldn't be able to pick me out of a crowd if they heard me No, even if you can describe it It doesn't matter because a voice is something you have to hear to know So number one here's the first skin. I told you these were very practical number one The first key to hearing the voice of God the word You have to get into the word of God John chapter 14 verse 26 says but when the father sends the advocate as my representative That is the Holy Spirit. He will teach you everything and will remind you of everything. I have told you You know we become so superstitious. Can I I'm just gonna you know me. I'm always very honest Charismatic Christians. I'm charismatic. I'm Pentecostal. Okay, so I could say this without Offending you but here's what I've net recognized about my group of people We can be so superstitious and People want some superstitious answer to how do I hear the voice of God? They want me to tell them will go and you you post this verse under your pillow and at night You put the oil on you lie your head like it. No, that's not how it works You know the voice of God by getting in your word, okay? You would be surprised at how many of your issues would cease to Dominate your life if you would just get in the word I mean that is so basic that it astonishes me that most believers don't read their word. They said for the day But I'm struggling with this. I'm struggling with this. I'm struggling with temptation. I'm struggling with depression I'm struggling with the flesh. I'm struggling in my marriage in my finances and they name all these things and Many of the problems that they struggle with were brought about by their own decisions because they did not Hear the voice of God in the word of God You would be amazed at how many of those things would cease to control you if you just got in the word My goodness do the basics just get in the word Feel just get in the word your whole life will change and so the word of God Helps you to become familiar. I'm not going to give you some superstitious answer and tell you if you write these down Or put this under your pillow or put this oil over your doorpost or say this prayer that I'm about to give you Doesn't matter. It's not going to work unless you get the word of God in you You don't have the word of God in your life. It's not going to transform you That's the only way the word of God can really begin to change you is when you get into it So Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will teach you everything and remind you of everything that I have told you Say this out loud the Holy Spirit reminds and Reveals say it again the Holy Spirit reminds and Reveals he reminds you of the things that the Lord has spoken to you and he reveals the truth to you But how is he supposed to remind you of something you've never read or you've never heard? How is he supposed to reveal the word of God to you if you're not getting in the word of God? He needs to be able to work with the word the Holy Spirit Works with the word all throughout the scripture. We see this You know in the beginning was the word and the Holy Spirit was with him also The Holy Spirit took the spoken word of God Hovered above the face of the deep and moved upon the word to cause creation He did the same in the ministry of Jesus Jesus the word and the Holy Spirit work together And so if you want God to begin to speak to you you have to read the word this familiarizes your This familiarizes you with the voice of the Holy Spirit So get in the word and you'll begin to hear him work clearly. I'll tell you this much Be faithful to the written word and God will trust you with the Ramo word Be faithful with the written word and You'll become one who can hear the Ramo word So number two So number one is the word get in the word you have to get in the word stop making excuses Stop saying I'll start tomorrow. Just read the word. Okay, and let me let me give you something very simple Try just opening the Bible. Maybe James or Psalms or the book of John just open the Bible and Read it until something stands out to you. I I'm not a big fan of these Bible reading plans because people will just read the plan and not even know what they read They just read it and they feel good and I believe that in some level that does affect you spiritually But I think the best way to enjoy the word of God is to enjoy it like it's a nice meal like fine dining You wouldn't go to a fine dining restaurant I hope you wouldn't and take big bites and eat really fast with bad posture You wouldn't do that. No, you would go in you would sit down and you would take your time you would take from the meal little by little little bites enjoying it Savoring it and really letting letting the moment take you That's what it needs to be like when you get into the word of God stop rushing through it Just to say you read it sit down relax Read the word let God speak to you. Let the word get in you and when you do you become more familiar with his voice So that's number one the word number two and this is one of my favorite things to talk about. I know you're gonna love this number two silence and stillness Matthew chapter 6 verse 6 says and this is Jesus talking but when you pray Go away by yourself Shut the door behind you and pray to your father in private Then your father who sees everything will reward you Jesus here is stressing the importance of praying in privacy when you pray in privacy God rewards you openly Private prayer is revealed in public power when you go away privately You're proving that you have faith in God Anyone can pray in front of someone anyone can pray in front of the church Anyone can pray when people are watching them But the true test of faith The true test of whether or not you believe in God is when you pray when no one else is looking because otherwise Why would you do that? So number one the word number two silence and stillness now silence is the easy part Silence is the putting away about a distraction You put away your phone you turn off the TV you tell your kids listen Mom's busy dad's busy. I can't I just need some time just break away I our babysitter do whatever it takes to get some a long time with God Maybe you wait till the kids go to sleep and then you go and stay up an extra hour with the Lord even though you're exhausted He'll reward you for it You take that time turn off the television get off of social media And just say okay Lord. I'm silent. I'm listening now silence is easy Silence is the putting away of outer distraction But stillness is the quieting of the soul Psalm chapter 46 verse 10 says be still and know that I am God Stillness precedes revelation Stillness comes before knowing the Holy Spirit Wants to take you into the depths of prayer But he waits for you to meet him at the gate of stillness Exodus chapter 14 verse 14 says the Lord will fight for you You need only to be still Stop squirming tell your flesh to stop squirming and just die And say Lord. I'm still Psalm 37 7 says Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for him to act Many people don't know how to wait on the Lord. They don't know how to be patient They don't know how to be still I heard a powerful man of God. Tell me he said, you know The flesh can do a lot of things The flesh can read the Bible The flesh can sing the flesh can dance the flesh can worship the flesh can even preach and He said but the moment you wait upon the Lord in prayer the flesh begins to squirm How true that is the flesh does not want to wait upon Lord Nothing kills the flesh like waiting upon the Lord in stillness now There is this thing I call inner chaos You ever noticed that when you go to pray All of these thoughts suddenly start coming to your mind all of these things start shooting through your head guilt from past mistakes frustrations about current responsibilities and worries about tomorrow's concerns all of these things come at you from all different angles and Your mind gets busy with thoughts and emotions and responsibilities And even simple distractions is what's over there in the other room or I didn't understand the text So my mind drifted off all of these little distractions. I know you've been there and What happens is This chaos begins to unfold in our prayer room and We begin to notice that the moment I go to pray All of a sudden all this chaos arises and we say things like it's so funny I was perfectly fine until I went to pray and the moment I went to pray all of a sudden all these things started Stirring in me. Well, can I tell you the truth? I'm gonna do it anyway The truth is that chaos is always there You're just never quiet enough to recognize it Now you don't have to live with that inner chaos that inner chaos doesn't have to be there But when you become still and quiet and go to pray all of that that you're sensing is not It's not being created it's being revealed and So the revelation of the inner chaos is what happens during prayer not the creation of it And so how do we get rid of this? we get rid of this by Taking our mind off of us and putting it on the revelation of Jesus now Where does that revelation come from you guessed it? the word so the word helps you to become familiar with the voice of God and Silence and stillness really been quiet and stealing your mind and saying I'm gonna reject every thought that contradicts the word of God How do you know something is a lie? Very simple any thought belief or idea that keeps you from approaching God is a lie So any of those things that come against you in that time during your prayer you need to reject and The final key here number three So number one is the word number two is silence and stillness and Number three is obedience Tim. Why don't we go ahead and put those three points up number one the word? Number two silence and stillness and number three is obedience if you need to my notes are right here Psalm 3723 says the Lord directs the steps of the godly He delights in every detail of their lives Whose steps does he direct the godly? He does not direct the ungodly Proverbs chapter 3 verse 6 says in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths You would be surprised at how clear the voice of God gets when you obey him You may say brother David this is a catch 22 Because I want to obey God, but things aren't perfectly clear. So I don't know what to obey. It's very simple obey the clear and The unclear will become clear. I'm gonna say that again obey the clear and The unclear will become clear when you obey what you know. God has spoken He reveals the rest of his will God reveals his will Progressively he never gives it to us all at once otherwise it wouldn't require faith on our part And it wouldn't build us into the beings that we need to be God will speak to the godly. He directs the obedient I'm gonna tell you something and I want you to hear me This is important if you hear anything on this point hear this Some of you won't like what I'm about to say and Some of you when you hear it It will give you a major breakthrough because you'll know it's true and you'll know that there's something you need to do about it God will speak and Not speak again Until you obey what he's already spoken think about that God will speak and Not speak again Until you obey what he has already spoken some of God's people Avoid the prayer room. They avoid their time with the Lord Because they're afraid of what he'll say because they know that he'll just repeat what he's been telling them to do Some of you need to go and do what God's been telling you to do You say I can't hear the voice of God anymore. It's not clear It's because you're walking in disobedience that could be one of the reasons why and when we come to terms with that We say Lord no matter what it is I will obey Radical obedience causes you to more clearly hear him. I'll put it to you this way Perfect obedience to the voice of God also brings perfect clarity to the voice of God So number one the word number two silence and stillness and number three obedience I want to pray with you now.
