We continue our series on “Talking with God”.
- The 1st session on ‘how to hear God’s speaks’ we talked about our attitudes – whether you get the message or not, depend very much on your attitude. We want to cultivate an open mind, allocate time to listen, eliminate the distractions, and cooperate with what God says
- The 2nd session on ‘how God talks to you’ we talked about the four most common ways. First, God speaks through the Bible, the number one way. He speaks also through teachers, the impressions He put in our minds, and painful experiences.
Today, we want to learn how to recognize God’s voice.
- If God gives us impressions in our mind, then we want to know how best to understand them. Read 1 John 4:1-6.
God never contradicts His written Word.

Phil 2:5 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus…”

When you become a believer, you did not just get a new relationship with God your Father, you get a new relationship to other people. You become a member of God’s family, the church.

John 10:2-5 – 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.

Conclusion:
Communication breakdown between us and God can happen because of sin.
