 wrong because it was taking some time when we were waiting for the recording to begin and yeah it started that time. Okay now it started again okay we'll have to begin all over again. Sorry everyone this is a repeat telecast. Okay good morning everyone good morning to class and you know we are looking at chapter three of the book receiving God's guidance and you know God primarily leads us through the scripture the word of God and also through the Holy Spirit. Okay so the scriptures are very important it's an important way to know what is what God wants us to do to know his will to know what is right and wrong in God's sight. Okay so in this chapter we are going to look at how we can receive guidance and leading through the scripture. Okay so we're going to look at three scripture passages here we're going to consider three scripture passages the first one is Psalm 119 verse 105 the second one Psalm 119 verse 130 and the third one is Psalm 37 verse 31 so let's all read it together again okay Psalm 119 verse 105 a lamp to my feet and a light to my part. Psalm 119 verse 130 the entrance of the words gives light it gives understanding through the simple. Psalm 37 verse 31 of this part is in his heart none of his steps shall slide. Okay so God's word is a lamp to my feet it you know to our feet it guides us and leads us now for example if this whole this campus is pitch dark you know I'm sure you won't be very confident to step out because we heard there are a lot of snakes in this area and you don't know where you're going to stumble and fall but if you have a torchlight you know I'm sure you'll be willing to step out the same way in when we travel through life when we journey through life there will be seasons there will be times when we don't know what is happening what next what we need to do you know we are looking for guidance we're looking for direction and you know God's word is the one that will lead us give us the direction okay show us what God's will is Psalm 119 verse 130 says that you know God's word enlightens us it gives us light it gives us wisdom it gives us understanding now for example if you know somebody brings you into this room and they say go into this room and in this room there are a lot of people here and there are tables with good food and you just enjoy the wonderful decoration in this room and when you enter this room you know there's total pitch darkness you're not able to see the good food you're not able to see the decoration will you be able to enjoy anything in this room no absolutely not right but what happens if people somebody puts on the light then you're able to see others in the room you're able to admire the wonderful decoration and of course you're able to look at a delicious food that your stomach is waiting to you know eat and enjoy okay so the same way God's word you know it brings light into our situations where there's confusion where is there is doubt where there is we don't know what to do what step to take what next so you know it gives us wisdom it gives us understanding on how to go and where to go and what we need to do okay Psalm 37 verse 31 says that God's word establishes our steps okay it makes it form and it makes it secure God's word is unshakable and it's a firm foundation so when God leads us and guides us you know we can be sure that he will lead us in the right way in the right direction okay now there are some common ways that God speaks to us or leads us through his word so the first one is you know the instructions in God's word okay second Timothy chapter 3 verses 16 and 17 says okay can we all read that together all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work so here it says all scripture okay all scripture means even genealogies you know who gave birth to whom all scripture even means the difficult ones that we don't understand all scripture means even Ecclesiastes song of Solomon okay so all of scripture is given to us for what for teaching okay for conviction that means to convict us for correction that means it straightens us it leads us it guides us it directs us and also it instructs us okay so God's word also instructs us okay so here we see that you know we need to be familiar with all of scripture okay we just should not be reading parts of it and you know we shouldn't be taking those parts and trying to you know formulate doctrines or you know what God wants us to do but we always have to see one scripture in the light of other scripture passages we need to read a whole of scripture we need to discover a whole of scripture we need to also see what God is telling about a certain aspect from Genesis right up till revelation okay that's when we will be able to correctly interpret scripture in its context okay so we need to be familiar with scripture what God is talking about regarding various areas of our life now scripture has you know God has already led us and directed us in various areas of our life for example you know I just can't get up one fine day and say God should I love my husband or you know if you're a wife you can't get up and say God should I love my wife okay it's already given in your Bible husbands love your wives this Christ loved the church and if the wife gets up one morning and says you know God should I really submit to this man who's not being nice to me you know what does God's word say wives submit to your husbands okay so in every area whether it's finances whether it's forgiveness sometimes you say God should I really forgive this person this person you know I keep on forgiving I keep on being loving I keep on doing things but this person doesn't seem to understand it's taking me for granted so should I forgive that person now when you ask God such questions you know you might not get an answer because God is saying hey I've already written it in my word how many times you forgive 70 times 7 that means what uncountable times you know don't keep the number of times that you are forgiving somebody so you know in various areas of our life God is already you know spoken about it in the Bible we just need to follow but there are sometimes you know when we really need God's instruction God's direction you know then we go back to the Bible we look at scripture so that is our starting point and we need to be aligned to scripture and we need to make our choices based or decisions or guidance based on what scripture says okay so the scripture really lead us and guide us in the way that we need to go yes anyone has any example you can share when you had to make an important decision and you know scripture was what helped you I remember reading one testimony of one person from apc you know he said he had an opportunity to join into two multinational companies one was something called like an ocean something ocean digital something like that another one had something you know a different thing and so when he was you know he was wanting to know from God what exactly I don't remember the specifics but you know he wanted to know exactly which company he needs to join so you know he started reading the the Bible and then it says you know God was talking about you know about the sea and you know how life in that passage of scripture is talking about the ocean the sea and how life kind of is growing or thriving in the ocean and then he thought you know this is God speaking to him and telling him that you know he has to join this company which has the name of ocean okay and then after that he made the decision and he said no to the other company and he said yes to this company which had the same ocean and then after that you know he got a reply back from this company which he said no to and they said that you know he they will give him a higher position and they would also ink you know they'll give him a higher position so he he went back and he started praying and asking God and then he started reading scripture again and and the scripture passage clearly said you know don't be in the ocean but get on to the land okay so he he that was you know it was something that was very simple but you know just that phrase just hit him so hard and then you know he decided that he's going to join the other company he said yes to them and you know he joined that company they gave him a higher position and they gave him I think a 200-percent hike or something like that you know I but there's quite a big huge hike which is an impossibility in the in the in the multinational company and he joined the company and he you know writes his testimony at apcwo.org testifying how God led him through scripture okay so God does lead us through scripture how he you know he wants us to do what he wants us to do okay any of you had any have any examples to share yes shon okay yeah anything from scripture that you have no okay so you know scripture is you know the one that you can see the pastor says that anytime he has to make a decision you know he gets his answers from scripture for me the same you know when I read scripture it's I don't run to x y z but you know I always go back to God this word his word leads me and guides me I remember even when I had to make a decision about going to bible college you know I you know God was speaking to me and saying you can't serve God and ma'am and you have to choose one okay and then I need to had to make a decision that I would choose to serve God okay so the instructions of God's word God instructs us from his word he leads us and he guides us okay the second one how God leads us and guides us through his word is through the quickened word okay you know when you're looking for guidance from God's word God quickens his written word in our specific situation now this quickening of God's word can come in different ways like when we are praying for a certain decision and then we go on to read scripture passage you know that scripture passage exactly addresses your matter directly and you know you receive what God is telling you you receive clarity you begin to know the mind of God with regard to that specific situation okay this can also happen when you are reading scripture you know suddenly when you're reading scripture you know sometimes I don't know if you have just felt some scripture passages just leap up at you you know some just some words just come and hit you you you receive a new revelation maybe some familiar scripture but you know a fresh new revelation say oh I never thought of this before or sometime you just leap up at you and then you say oh this is what God is speaking to me this is the answer to my to my problem or to my to my solution to my problem like when I was you know when I was getting ready to go to Bible college I had so many questions how you know I'm going to handle finances that I'm going to aid my finances how I'm going to go alone to Bible college how am I going to handle things and you know God spoke to me I was just reading God's word and this verse just leapt at me he who called you is faithful and he will do it for you you know he who called you is faithful and he will do it for you and I just held on to that scripture so even now being in ministry you know I've seen God's faithfulness the six years I studied in Bible college I kept on saying this was anytime I had a need even now being in ministry you know I constantly when when I'm in need or lacking something you know you know this verse comes back to my mind you know the promise that God gave me this is like a promise verse for me like you know he who called you is faithful and he will do it for you okay so you know where reading scripture sometimes you know just scripture passages or verses or a word can just sleep out of the Bible and can just you know hit you and just speak to you and you receive an answer from from God okay the other times you know you're just going through your daily routine you're also worried about some decisions something about your family something in your life you have to make some decision you know you're just going about it and you're wondering you know what I need to do what step do I need to take you know and suddenly you know you're doing your normal routine you know your daily work but suddenly the word of God just comes like a like a flash like a lightning I remember you know just recently a recent pastor I was wondering about some something about my health I was wondering what I need to do whether I should do this I should do that I was totally confused I was you know looking for guidance and you know and this verse just boom came into my head the God is telling me trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding so God is saying don't lean on your own understanding thinking what this and that you know just trust in me in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your parts Proverbs chapter 3 okay and another thing that happened recently you know I was I had gone to the hospital I just did a scan and the doctors were pretty shocked with something that they found in my body and they were saying how did you not know all these years and all that and I too was pretty shocked but I had this amazing peace I had just joy actually the doctors were looking terrified at me but I was just smiling and I had just laughing I had just this peace of God and then I came out and you know my body is lacking something and I say God you know I'm lacking something very important and now what do I do now and boom the the the thing that comes you know God is saying I'm your portion you know this is what God tells the Levites in the Old Testament you know God says I am your portion you don't have you don't even need a portion of the land don't give the you know all the tribes of Israel got a portion of the land accepting the Levites you know they were supposed to get the best portion of the land but God was saying you know I am your portion and they got what do I do now and God is saying you know I am your portion and that just gave me an amazing sense of peace so anytime I am you know kind of feeling a little sun in my body I'm saying God you are my portion you know you're going to do this for me and also you know that when I came out of that room of the diagnosis you know this this overwhelming peace was there and I was just thinking about God is taking me through that you know the instance where the storm you know the disciples were in the boat with Jesus in the storm and you know Jesus was a total peace and he said be still you know be calm be quiet and I just sense that you know how the disciples would have felt in that moment when there was a storm and suddenly this word of God coming in my in my spirit saying that you know I am your portion an amazing sense of supernatural peace and I was like and God was telling me this is the kind of peace the disciples experience when I still the storm so maybe you're facing a storm in this area of your life in your health but you know I am your peace I will still it I will make it calm so you know just so we're going about our daily routine I'm in the hospital nobody is there you know I was all alone by myself but this is what God is just you know so profoundly speaking so it's just wonderful you know how God just brings in scripture passages like that to your memory to your word but for that you need to meditate on God's word you need to read God's word so you know God gives us direction and leading to his word but we need to obey it we need to follow it we need to hold on to it okay I held on to that promising God you said you are faithful you will do it you do this for me I don't have this finances I don't have this I don't have that you do it and God has been more than faithful okay on page number 35 going on to page number 36 and on top of page number 37 are some few examples that pastor's given about his own life so I like you all to read it later on not now during the class okay you can read it later on okay the third thing that how God leads us through his word first one is the instruction of his word second one is to the quickening of his word okay the third one is to the word preached okay so you know God leads us through the preaching of his word so when we're going to church you know you're going with the burden you're going with some struggle you're going with some anxiety some problem and you know the preacher is just preaching but you know you just feel like it's God speaking to you you know something he says you know I'm sure all of us have experienced that right you just feel sense that God is just giving you the answer you just speaking to your spirit or you know the worship or some worship song one line in the worship just hits you and you're like you know oh this is my answer you know this is this is what God is speaking to me and sometimes you know the preacher is just speaking he's saying the same thing but you know the same words can minister to different people in different contexts in different situations it's not just one person but many people who are coming with many different kind of problems they can experience the answers they can experience you know you know they can receive guidance for their problems they can receive guidance in their life so we see simultaneously on various matters God's word speaks okay so God can you know God can give you his word through the word that is preach to the word that is preach God can speak to you and he can speak simultaneously to different people at the same time of course a preacher doesn't know he's just preaching but he doesn't know that you know so many people are just receiving and that is the power of God's word okay so sometimes also you know we are listening to suppose you say you listen to Sunday sermon by Pastor Ashish and then you know you go back home and then you listen to other preachers that you like other sermons and then you know you know through the week you're also listening to some Bible college lectures and you feel that all of them are telling you the kind of the same thing and you feel that you know God is really speaking to me he's giving me answers to my problem or he's just encouraging me or he's strengthening me or he's guiding me or he's just helping me to cope with the situation or he's just leading me on in the direction that I need to go in like so the third way God leads us through his through his word through scripture is through the preaching of his word so as you know as the word is preaching it falls on your heart you know that God has spoken is giving you guidance and direction that you are seeking so you know but it's you receive all this from God but it's important for you to act on it and important for you to obey it and when you receive a promise it's important for you to you know speak over your situations okay God's promises are yes and amen but what we need to do is we need to speak it over our situations okay the fourth one how God leads us is to the inner voice what is the inner voice it's your conscience okay our consciences are inner voice you know sometimes when you're doing wrong it says hey what you're doing is wrong okay what you're doing is wrong what you said is wrong what you're thinking is wrong what you're watching is wrong so what is that that's the voice of your conscience okay now we are made up of man is made up of spirit soul and body okay our soul is made up of mind will learn emotions okay so God speaks to us through just like our physical body has the five senses what are the five senses touch you can see feel taste okay here okay so all of that in the same way our spirit man also has these senses our spirit man can hear our spirit man can see our spirit man can feel what God is telling us to guiding us it can also taste taste and see that the Lord is good okay how do you taste and see that the Lord is good you don't taste it you know the tongue but it's through your spirit man so your spirit man has senses okay so the your conscience is your voice okay your conscience speaks to you and there are three references here from Job chapter I'm on page number 38 okay there are three references here Job chapter 32 was 8 Psalm 51 was 6 Proverbs chapter 20 was 27 and you know if you look at you know Job chapter 32 was 8 it says a spirit in man is the breath of the almighty okay God's breath you know God breathes into our human spirit and when he breathes he's actually causing us to know his wisdom in our spirit man he's guiding us and leading us now if you remember when we did you know that principle one of the nine guideposts you know stirring in our hearts remember I spoke about all of these passages and I said how our spirit man is a lamb and how God speaks to us okay so remember and then the next class I think many of them did not understand so I explained it again to some of you in Hindi so I'm not going to explain all of this here again you can go back to that same you know lecture and you can listen to it so you know our spirit man is a lamb that means God guides us and leads us and our spirit man also you know is something that you know God searches out and God leads us through our spirit you know God searches what is there in our hearts in our minds that's in our spirit man that's why you know God created us spirit beings why because he's a spirit being and the Holy Spirit relates to us in our spirit man that's why when we are born again we are born again in our spirit okay so our spirit man God searches us and it's in the spirit that he also guides us and leads us and I've explained quite a bit about this when we did a stirring in our hearts remember I said I gave you a lot of passages in scripture and I said it's not there in your textbook but you know but I just wanted to explain that okay so I'm not going to explain that again but if you look at Romans chapter 2 verse 15 at the bottom of page number 38 it says our conscience bears witness or speaks aligned to what has been written in our hearts okay which means that you know when we are trained to read God's word feed on God's word when we meditate on God's word and we live in obedience to God's word and we live in in submission to God's word you know our conscience comes in alignment with God's word and so sometimes our conscience can also lead us and guide us and you know we can you know we can depend on our conscience at those times why because we are people who are constantly reading meditating God's word God's word is in our heart and is in our mind and when we do that you know our conscience automatically is aligned to God's word why because we are feeding our spirit soul body with God's mind God's mind is in our God's word is in our mind God's word is in our heart you know and so you know our conscience automatically will be aligned to God's word okay and that time we can know that our conscience is reliable you know we can depend on our conscience to lead us and guide us but sometimes when we look at people we can say we say you know doesn't their conscience tell them what they're doing is wrong you know how can they just go and keep on murdering people okay go and keep on killing people or keep on speaking bad words why because their conscience is so dead and their conscience is also not having the word of God in them okay so sometimes even believers like that they're saying they're born again believers but if you look at their lives they're jealousy hatred pride you know there's so much of wrath there's so much of anger unforgiveness gossiping and why is all that to say hey this person's born again baptized but you know there doesn't their conscience prick them but it's because their conscience they are not feeding their minds and their hearts and their spirit man with the word of God you know they're just saying okay we're born again hallelujah praise the Lord we're going to heaven but they're not spending time reading God's word so with the more we read God's word the more our conscience actually you know is reliable we can depend on our conscience all of you with me understanding okay so that's a promise that we have in the new covenant as new covenant believers we all belong to the new covenant okay who established the new covenant Jesus Christ how did he establish it with his blood okay and we read in Hebrews chapter 8 verses 10 to 11 it says you know God promises us that in the new covenant God will write his laws or his word upon our heart and our mind okay and each one will know the Lord remember the promise that God gave in the Old Testament in Ezekiel he said I will remove their heart of stone and I will give them a heart of flesh and I will put my laws in their heart and in their mind and I will put my spirit in them and my spirit will cause them to obey all of my laws and why did God say that because he knew that these people were not able to keep the laws why because they just couldn't do it in their own strength of their sinful flesh okay so God is saying I will give remove that heart of stone give them a heart of flesh I will write my laws upon their heart and mind and I will put my spirit and my spirit will cause them to obey and keep the laws of God okay so here this promise the new covenant you know God will write his heart words in our heart and mind and that's very important because our conscience sometimes most of the time we're listening to our conscience right the conscience tells us to do something we do it if our conscience tells us it's okay you can just do it we go ahead and do it even though we know it is sin okay so we need to learn to listen to our conscience but we need to ask ourselves is our conscience pure and clear is my conscience pure and clear or unholy sometimes our conscience we can be born again but our conscience is still you know still needs to be renewed because you know our conscience is part of our soul right and our soul and our body is still not born again we need to keep on renewing it every day okay so you know you know we need to work on that how do we do it by reading God's word daily meditating on it filling our hearts and mind with God's word okay the next thing is we need to rightly divide the word of God okay 2 Timothy chapter 2 verse 15 says can somebody read it please okay so here how do we handle God's word first one you don't need to be ashamed okay sorry Nina I didn't understand your question okay it's conscious part of your spirit man okay instead it's part of your soul yeah so yeah first one what do we do to be approved ourselves by God how do we handle God's word correctly first one we rightly divide it that means we expound it correctly okay we expound means what we interpret it correctly okay when we interpret scripture you will learn how to interpret scripture I think next semester or maybe next year the first semester how to interpret scripture okay that's very very important okay and also you know you need to know how to interpret scripture rightly we also see that scripture is the word of truth okay God's the word of truth it's God's truth okay so God is not responsible when we misinterpret or when we misapply his word okay we need to correctly understand God's word and when we correctly understand God's word it will lead us to correctly interpret his word but if we uh we are incorrect in our uh you know in our expounding of scripture and interpretation of scripture it will lead to misapplication okay and incorrect understanding of God's word from that that's how you know wrong doctrines and strange doctrine comes so it's important for us you know um I think next semester you will learn about systematic theology and in systematic theology you will see how you know you will be studying different doctrines but how you need to study each doctrine in the light of the entire scripture not just taking it from the New Testament but also looking at it from the Old Testament okay so when you're studying something you need to look at the entire scripture because 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 says all scripture is inspired by God okay and then the last point here is you know don't misuse scripture you know don't take scripture out of isolation and make your own theories and make your own uh interpretations and um you know try to live that now many people they take God's promises and they say okay this is God's promise you know God said um now don't be anxious about worried about everything because you know in Matthew chapter 6 he says don't why are you worried about your clothes the food you eat you know look at the birds of the air and the lilies of the field and God says you know um all these things will be added to you okay and you know they so they take out all the promises from God's word and they're wondering why God's promise is not coming true in their life did you know that you know before every promise or in some patches of scripture after every promise there is a command okay so before every promise there is a command take for example Matthew 633 what does it say see keep us the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added to you but people don't want to see the first bit see keep us the kingdom of God they want to they always think okay God will add all this for us what is all this the food clothing everything he'll give us but when will he give us the command to seek he first the kingdom of God no God God says if you abide in me and my words abide in you then ask whatever you want and it will be done for you so you say oh ask whatever you want to be done so let me ask God it should be done God it should be done they say why you know but God is saying why it's not happening what's the reason what's the command abide in me and if my words abide in you then okay so sometimes in scripture we find the command before the promise and sometimes we find the promise given and then the command so you know we can't just misuse scripture by saying okay you know I just hold on to this promises but if we are not obeying the command the promises does not come true in our life for example you know only after Abraham went to the place that God showed him to do then he received the promise the promise became a reality okay the same with us when we look at God's word as well okay so we need to you know sometimes we play with scripture for example we'll just take the Bible we want to know something God I really want to know what to do about the situation so please speak to me or you know you just open the Bible and say God show us and open no first whatever verse it falls you know and then sometimes it's very funny I don't know if you've tried doing that this it's very you know it's really funny you can laugh at yourself sometimes and then you know okay okay this might not be the worst but God is opening me to you know Jeremiah chapter 3 so let me read the whole scripture and try to find a decent answer now you can't play with God's word like this okay God's word is there for us to read meditate study his word live by his word and not play by his word sometimes you know we just say okay you know we use God's word as a charm we're scared about something we keep it under the pillow we keep it beside us and we say okay you know Satan is troubling me the night giving me bad dreams I'm seeing this darkness I feel something is coming over me I'll keep the Bible hey you know you need to you need to speak God's word what is the the sword of the armor of God it's a word of God so you can't take okay my I'll take my sword and do this this this and the darkness will go no you have to speak the word of you have to speak the word of God and where is Satan where is Satan he's underneath your feet that's what the word of God says Satan is underneath your feet but for some of us he's above there because we are under him you know so we need to know our authority we need to use God's word correctly and not play with God's word okay sometimes you're going to preach and say God I have to go and preach I don't really know what to preach so I'm just going to open whichever chapter you're showing me I'm going to I believe that is going to be the one that you are going to show me I mean you know I have preach many times and you know I don't do that but I I do I'll go and ask God God I don't know the audience I don't know the people's need it might be the same church APC but I'm going to preach there what do you want me to preach and just God will give me one download and you know you just go and prepare on that you look at scriptures you study the whole of scriptures and then you go and give your message not just closing your eye and opening and whatever passage comes you are doing that okay so you know there's a nice example given you're very interesting about a young man who's in love with a with a girl and every scripture passage he's reading he's looking at you know her in that so he's sending her all of these scripture passages and she's reading it and she's poor thing is not able to find any meaning in that and he says see see properly read this is what God is saying but I can't understand you know so you know sometimes we can play with scripture we can misuse scripture which is not the right and a dangerous thing for us to do okay so we need to you know scripture is God's way of leading us guiding us you know giving us a revelation he wants us to do knowing his will knowing what he is right and wrong and doing that okay so this is how scripture leads us it leads us the first one is instruction in God's word okay second one is through the word the quickening of God's word you know God will give you you're going through a problem you're going through a difficulty just a quickening like this you know if you're in your spirit man it's just profound it's just wonderful it just comes boom like this you know and it is just so wonderful third one is through the preaching of God's word fourth one is through your inner voice your conscience but for your conscience you know to we have the ability to guide you in the right way your conscience should be you know kind of soaked in okay with the word of God when you're feeding your heart and your mind your conscience is also in alignment to that because you're reading God's word and you're also submitting to God's word okay so any questions anyone has any questions there are some examples given there by pastor I'm sure all of you have read it because you know you've already done an assignment but I would request our online students to read pastors example so you will understand better I just gave my life examples but you can read pastors example as well okay okay the fourth chapter we'll move on to the fourth chapter page 43 anyone has any questions okay the next way God leads us is through the inner witness office spirit how God leads us and guides us is to scripture and this word and through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit in John chapter 14 verse 16 Jesus promised that I will send you another helper okay John chapter 14 verse 16 Jesus promised he said I will send you another helper and who is another helper the Holy Spirit if you notice the helper there is not with a small age okay when a small age is referred to human beings but it's a capital H which refers to the deity the Holy Spirit okay so Jesus who is our good shepherd is also a guide but the Holy Spirit is also a guide he leads us and guides us but we need to listen to the Holy Spirit let's look at John chapter 16 verses 13 to 14 you know it says however when he who is the he yeah the Holy Spirit see notice that capital H
