LISTENING (PART 2-THE GOD SIDE)

We continue with Part 2 of LISTENING. We looked at the Human side. This evening we touch on the GOD SIDE.


John 8:47
Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

John 10:27-28
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish...

Proverbs 22:17
Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach. 

These verses set the tone for our Listening (hearing) to our God. 

For the purpose of today's message, both Hearing &Listening will be of essence.
We need to be able to hear from God who is our father&talks to us all the time in our daily activities. 

Thereafter take our time to LISTEN to God's detailed words& instructions to carry out his mission&will.
Again, LISTENING requires concentration and the ability to accurately receive interpret messages.
God wants to fellowship& communicate with us. Communication is a two way affair.

It's the same with our relationship with God. He talks, we listen. We talk, He listens. (Prov.8:17)
God's word &his Holy spirit which inside of us are the key ways to hear&listen from God. 


The MAIN QUESTIONS now:
How do YOU hear from God?
Do you make time to listen to him??

In Part 3, we launch into the above questions.
However, remember that hearing or Listening from God is a skill or an art which is only dependent on YOUR  level of intimacy with GOD. 

SO I SAY:
THIS IS LISTENING (PART 2- THE GOD SIDE)
