 Hearing in the spirit is not a skill to be acquired it's a sense to be sharpened you already have the sense You are already hearing God the Holy Spirit is already speaking to you right here right now He's saying something to you there are the voices of self Satan secular and spirit secular is the voices of culture People family members anyone who speaks just according to the thinking of the world Satan obviously we know Questions the word and contradicts the word constantly we know that sometimes self can speak to us things that are random You can have a thought that's just kind of a neutral thought that's understandable We all have those and then there's the spirit This is the speaking of truth and so the key is not in getting the Holy Spirit to speak to you the key is in silencing the satanic the secular and Self and you do that all that's left is the spirit and you hear him loud and clear So how do we do this number one the word? Please hear me now Insisting upon adherence to the word Insisting upon biblical accuracy is not religious and I think we have to get that out of our heads this idea that oh You know you're you're you're you're going to the word. That's head knowledge. That's that's philosophy That's that's just the wisdom of man. No my friend the word was inspired by God 2 Timothy 3 16 and 17 all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to what to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives It corrects us when we are wrong and you felt that correction before I'm sure and teaches us to do what is right God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work So we understand the Bible the word of God is inspired by the Holy Spirit every word This is why be very careful of anyone who questions foundational teachings of the word be careful of yourself even Watch out for your own reasoning when you have to bend things in Scripture to fit your opinion Well, I don't know. Let me let me let me just kind of shift that meaning there Just a tad not not completely or you know what? Let me let me question that word there Let me let me just kind of shift the definition of that word So it seems a little more consistent. You do that you're gonna end up in confusion and torment to the mind So the word must be the foundation Get it out of your head that the word is religious get it out of your head that the word contradicts the Holy Spirit You want real power? You want to walk in the presence of the Holy Spirit in such a way that your life will mark the nations Then get in the word the word is the foundation of our understanding of the voice of the Holy Spirit That is the safety net you want a word from God I got a secret for you want a word from God open your Bible If you're serious about hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit, you'll get serious about reading the word Don't tell me you want to hear the Holy Spirit and you're not even opening your Bible Don't tell me you want a word from God and you won't open your Bible You want to be spoon-fed maybe by others just speak specifically to my situation So that I don't have to go digging through the word to find the truth that applies to my specific situation You just give it to me in bite-sized pieces. No, my friend. We must dive into the word. We must receive the word We must have a rich knowledge of the word and that knowledge is set on fire by the Holy Ghost Revelation is knowledge set on fire by the Holy Ghost. Look at the Scripture Read of all the different people that God used they had sharp intellectual minds that the Holy Ghost set on fire They had they had an ability to reason according to the scriptures and the Holy Spirit gave them boldness and authority and clarity and Peace because of that adherence to the word of God itself So if you're serious about hearing God you got to get serious about the word now as I said the word is the foundation I'm gonna give you four keys here The word is the foundation to knowing the voice of the Holy Spirit Why because the Holy Spirit will never contradict the word that written word is there for your guidance So you have this foundation now. Here's the word and that serves as my grounding That serves as my my stability. Well, Jesus said you build your house upon the sand That's like building on your own understanding or without his words You build your house upon the rock. That's like building on his word so that when the storms come By the way, he did not say if the storms come he said when the storms come You'll be standing why because you built on a solid foundation the word and so we build our lives Upon the words of Christ. That's not a contradiction to the spirit. The spirit works with the word It's not religious to study the word It's not really and anyone who thinks that is gonna get stuck in immature Christianity You're gonna be you're gonna be a baby Christian all your life, and I'm not saying this to be condescending I'm saying this because we need to wake up. I'm not saying this to tear you down I'm saying this to wake you up. I want to help you grow past certain things And if you're intimidated by the word, that's okay. So was I if you're if you're nervous about well Maybe maybe I won't get anything really out of it and it kind of intimidates me I don't know really understand all that just start reading it I was at a place in my life right and know anything about the scripture and I had to really dig in and discipline and and and and and make use of what God had put before me and That begins with simple obedience so the word now watch this serves as a foundation and the number two Is wisdom? Please hear what I'm about to say but before you do I want you to write in the comment section if you'll commit to the word just type it in the comment section Just put the word exclamation point. So the word becomes the foundation now and Then what begins to happen when you read the word when I begin to know the word? suddenly There's this root of wisdom that begins to take hold in my life I read the word my mind's being washed my mind's being renewed I'm beginning to think like God thinks I'm beginning to understand his nature I'm beginning to understand his ways now watch this once I know the word now then wisdom begins to naturally follow Now wisdom is How the Holy Spirit speaks to your spirit? So the word that's just the Holy Spirit speaking directly to you through the word But wisdom is the Holy Spirit speaking to your spirit Romans chapter 12 verse 2 says do not be conformed to this world But be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God? This is so powerful What is good and acceptable and perfect? Well, how do I discern the will of God? How do I discern what he's saying? I do so by renewing my mind. How do I renew the mind? My friend, it's the word as you read his word The mind is being renewed James 1 5 if you need wisdom Ask our generous God and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking him So the word becomes the foundation and as you become a person of the word Wisdom naturally results Why because that word is getting into your spirit and when the word gets into your spirit Suddenly you begin to think like God thinks suddenly you begin to reason like God reasons Suddenly you begin to think and reason and believe and behave According to the Holy Spirit's guidance because your mind is being renewed by the word So the word is that foundation and now wisdom acts as the structure Okay, so you have you have the foundation of the word and then wisdom becomes the beginning stages of that structure And that structure goes into place based on the word So wisdom is the Holy Spirit speaking directly to your spirit It is this this pure overflow of the directions of God. It is a purposeful pool on your life You just kind of have this natural inclination in Understanding what God wants you to do in any given situation Why because you become familiar with his nature when you know the word of God you understand his will And as you begin to become more familiar with his will now you begin to become more familiar with his ways The word shows you his will and that begins to develop wisdom in you Wisdom shows you his ways first the word foundation then the structure wisdom Then there's the whisper and this is the Holy Spirit speaking to your mind the natural mind Now some have said well You know if it's written in the word then the Holy Spirit doesn't need to say it because it's already in the word And if it's not written in the word then the Holy Spirit wouldn't speak it because it's not written in the word But this fails to take into account this type of reasoning this thinking Fails to take into account that often we need instructions for the very specific details of our lives Not always are you gonna find chapter and verse chapter and verse what you should do specifically in every situation Of course you have the word to understand the general will of God then you have wisdom which helps to teach you his ways But then what do you do after that when you need an ultra specific instruction from the Lord in order to make sure that you're on the right path That's when the whisper comes in but don't try please hear me now Do not try to hear the whisper if you are not a person of the word and that's gonna make some of you mad It's not my goal to make you mad I love you and I want to just tell you the truth John 14 26 But the helper the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name He will teach you all things and bring to remembrance all that I have said to you so the Holy Spirit reminds and he reveals He reminds you of what has been said, but he also reveals what God is saying Let me say that again He reminds you of what has been said, but he also reveals what God is saying now Some might ask does this mean that what he speaks is on the same level of authority in terms of the scripture? No, because he's speaking very specifically for very specific situations and instances in your lives in your life And therefore that wouldn't be something that could apply to everybody all the time These instructions don't have universal application and for all time when it's the whisper as I'm describing it here so He whispers to your heart, but don't try to live your life by the whisper And this is what some Christians do thinking they're spiritual. They think they're spiritual because they kind of so, you know I just kind of like the wind I go I call them hippie Christians They just I wherever the Holy Spirit takes me I'm like the wind and and there's no discipline. There's no foundation There's no grounding everything's based off of their experience their encounters They're never interpreting their encounters to the word. They're only interpreting the word through their encounters Well, this is what it means to me. This is what I feel it's speaking and that's all I'm telling it It just means it's a lack of maturity in the faith period And so we need to come to the place where the word is first and then the wisdom and then the whisper If you're a person of the word and you're walking in the Holy Spirit's wisdom Those are your safety nets for when he begins to speak with the whisper and Many believers have this reversed and then number four So first it's the word then it's wisdom then number three the whisper and then number four wonders Now this is where you'll see Prophecy visions dreams miracles guys we believe in this These have not ceased the gifts have not ceased Prophecy is for today the spiritual gifts are for today Miracles are for today deliverance is for today healing is for today dreams are for today visions are for today Supernatural encounters are for today. We can't dismiss this why because the word tells us so and so the problem arises though When you try to live your life by the wonders instead of by the word many believers have this reversed So the word is the foundation Wisdom is that structure The whisper of the Holy Spirit is like the drywall and some of the materials that get added on to that and the wonders That's like the nice decorations for your house the furniture the the extra pieces if you will But if you live your life only with the extra pieces just the wonders My goodness you're never gonna have a solid foundation some believers They just live by their experience and then the word is an afterthought That's gonna cause you to end up with all kinds of confusion strange doctrines confusion tension bondage Isolation it leads to all sorts of problems anxiety. That's why you start with the word then the word produces wisdom wisdom Causes you to be mature enough to be able to distinguish between the whisper and your own thoughts And then the whisper Helps you to understand and navigate the world of wonders So the word is first don't try to live your life by wonders and the whisper Start with the word build it as your foundation Then you'll have the wisdom then you'll hear the whispers and then you can have the discernment That's necessary to receive only what are godly wonders father. I pray in the name of Jesus That you would begin to cause your people to desire your word Lord we repent of any neglect of your word Help us to recommit To being people of scripture Holy spirit we surrender to the way that you desire to speak help us to not box you in to just what our experiences tell us Help us Lord.
