WISDOM IS GAINED WHEN WE REVERENCE

GOD

Wisdom CRIES OUT:Proverbs 1:22How long will you who are simple love yoursimple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?23

Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings.

2:2turn your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding3

indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,4

and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,5then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.6

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge andunderstanding.7

He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is

blameless,

8for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.9

Then you will understand what is right and just and fairevery good path.10

For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.11

Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.

The Bible is OUR Love Letter

We want anENCOUNTER

with GOD

Why Do wewant to hear

God?



19/36

HOW DO WE HEARFROM GOD?Through His Word (LOGOS= written)- Jesus IS the Word made

flesh! We must start to become disciples of HIS Word.

Hebrews 1:1-5Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our

fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son,

whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he

upholds the universe by the word of his power.

Hebrews 4:12For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged

sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and

discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

2 Timothy 3:16-17All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching,

for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may

be competent, equipped for every good work.

20/36


Through Obedience-in Greek hupakoumeans to listen attentively;

by implication to heed & conform to a command or authority.

John 15:14"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Galatians 5:13-14 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use

your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one

another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love yourneighbor as yourself.

James 1:22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Demonstrates our faith, Proves our love and Validates the words we speak to

others.

the discipline of obedience fortifies those things we HEARfom

God and make us proficient servants/soldiers/sons

Elijah was Running for his life, feeling like a failure, a cowardand fruitless, wanting to just die. An angel sends him to Horeb(Mt. Sinai)Back to the Beginning!

He tried to hide in a cave but was told to come out and stand ONthe daunting mountain...he obeyed, and waited...

The Lord speaks to Elijah, not in the wind nor the earthquake

nor the fire, but in a still, small voice

Blustering winds, devastating earthquake and destructive fires,but He was spared, and heard a quite voice afterwards, wasrecommissioned and followed the Word of the Lord.

1 Kings 19

HOW DO WE HEARFROM GOD?THROUGH...Enduring Circumstances:



22/36


Through His Felowship- through an intimate relationship with

Him but also through His Body of Believers

Ephesians 4:15-16"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all

things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined

together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the

effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body for

the edifying of itself in love."

1 Cor 14:26"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath apsalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all

things be done unto edifying."

James 5:16"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye maybe healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

Countless scriptures speak of the unity of the Body of Believers and the impact that

has on its growth, corporately and thereby individually. Growth takes place as we

learn from each other & practicing those things we are growing in with each other

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF

HEARING

John 12:28 Father, glorify your name! Then a voice came

from heaven, I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The crowd that was there and heard it said it had

thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him.

30 Jesus said, This voice was for your benefit, not mine.

3 levels of intimacy with Jesus -Disciples, the Crowd & Others

based on obedience and proximity.

Through His Word(RHEMA=spoken, utterance, timely, specific)-usually throughPrayeras the Holy Spirit comes close, illuminates

Matthew 4:4Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word [rhema] that

proceeds out of the mouth of God.

John 6:63The words [rhema] that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

Through daily reading of God's Word, which is referred to as the "logos," (logos),Christians will have knowledge of God and know the truth of what is written.

In addition to that, God wants to speak to His people and provide insight beyond

human understanding. With the help of the Holy Spirit, portions of Scripture that

were once words on a page will become rhema. They will have great significance

and offer supernatural guidance, comfort, answers and assurances.

ARE YOU HEARING

FROM GOD?Perhaps, You are new to the faith?

take the time to learn from the written word, de-programed and reprogramed takes time

Perhaps, You have learned but have not been obedient or out

of fellowship with others?Obedience is a MUST. Faithful in Little faithful in much.

Perhaps, You are seeking to hear the Voice of God as aMighty WIND, QUAKE or FIRE in in the midst of it?

You want to Hear from God, Right?Lets Pray for a more committed and faithful year, with opened hearts, minds and ears to all

WorshipResonance is a phenomenon in which an object willvibrate violently when exposed to a harmonic forceof a frequency close to that object's naturalfrequency. Every object has a natural frequency, and

it is related to the shape, size and materials of theobject. The driving force can be wind, sound or anyother kinetic force.

natural frequency - how we were made - we weremade in HIS IMAGE - His Voice, His Word, HisTruth is Will bear witness with the Spirit of Godwithin us.What ever spirit we are of....that is the voice that willresonate in us....causing us to be moved....

among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name." (quoted prophesyreferring to Jesus, Romans 15:8-9)
