The Voice of the Lord is a Word from the Lord……
1. do no take any major decisions without having a Word from the Lord – James 1:5
2. You never know what He is going to say – Isaiah 55:8-9
-the Lord allows us to come to Him as we are
-we must allow the Lord to come to us as He is
3. Faith is based on a Word from the Lord – Romans 10:17
-this is the Bible and His voice
-you can stand against or for anything when you have a Word from the Lord
4. The Word of the Lord can be resisted –
-when we do not receive the answer we want
-blaspheming the Holy Spirit – Matt 12:31-32
-when we are backs lidded – John 15:7
-when we are too busy and do not listen
How do we listen?
1. stay close to the Lord – Isaiah 55:3
-the farther away you are the less you can hear
2. Develop listening prayer – Ex 3:10
-Intentionally carve out time to be still and listen for the voice of the Lord
-the Lord is still pleased with us when we are doing nothing but listening
Carve out some time for stillness…..
* be careful of interruptions – tech interruptions
Be involved in the art of listening
*just listening to what He has to say……
*active listening and it is work
