The Voice of the Lord Part II

The Voice Of The Lord

Rev 2:11,17,29 & 3:6,13,22

-The Lord is peaking today – loud and clear – everyone just needs to be listening

(1) YOU CAN KNOW THAT THE VOICE YOU ARE HEARING IS THE VOICE OF THE LORD – John 10:1-5

-the enemy speaks – Matt 8:23-31 – (demons)    Matt 4:3-6 – (devil)

-our feelings and emotions and mind – 70,000- thoughts per day

-our flesh – the old life still in us that contradicts the will and Word of the Lord

THE TIME FACTOR

-Most Quick decisions that are made are usually wrong decisions

-watch out for imposed time limits

-the voice of the remains.  All other voices diminish – 1 Samuel 3:1-10

Wonder if I wait and then still make a mistake and its not the Lord…

(1) be 100 % sure the voice you are hearing is from the Lord

(2) the Lord forgives – Eph 4:32

THE WORD OF GOD

-the Lord’s voice always goes along with the Word of God – 100% of the time

-saturate yourself with the Word of God – Psalm 119:11 & Col 3:16 -the Word should have a home in our hearst…….

(2) THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS A GUIDING VOICE – Psalm 37:23

-the Lord leads the footsteps of the righteous

-the Lord guides us into His will – Eph 5:7

***will – means plan, purpose, wishes, desire of the Lord for His people

We must know God’s will for our lives:

     1. because His plan is 100% correct

     2. because He knows everything and sees the big picture

-to know the will of the Lord – be saved and then ask Him what His plan is for you

     (1) doing the will of the Lord makes you a success

-secular vs Biblical success

-Ex: Moses and Paul

Enemies of doing the Will of the Lord

            *hang out with can do people – Phil 4:13

       -they come against all of your excuses

(2) Rebellion – 1 Sam 15:23
