ACTIVATED TO HEAR GOD’S VOICE
The 3rd Friday night of every month in 2010 at Revival Outreach Center we will be training and activating God’s people to hear His Voice. It is vital in this hour to be living by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of our heavenly Father. He is constantly communicating to us and we don’t want to miss what He is saying. Come at 7:30 pm the 3rd Friday of every month and join us in this wonderful adventure.
The text book we will be using is “How To Hear God’s Voice” by Mark & Patti Virkler. You can order it online at Amazon.com for $16.49. This book is optional and you do not have to have it to be part of the training. I do know it will be very helpful to have it.
The age in which we live is so married to rationalism and cognitive, analytical thought that we almost mock when we hear of one actually claiming to be able to hear the voice of God. However, we do not scoff, for several reasons. First, men and women throughout the Bible heard God’s voice. Also, there are some highly effective and reputable men and women of God alive today who demonstrate that they hear God’s voice. Finally, there is a deep hunger within us all to commune with God, and hear Him speak within our hearts.
For most of us in a 21st-century rational culture, the greatest miracle of all is to learn to hear God’s voice, clearly, plainly, and on an ongoing daily basis. Christians often debate whether this is even possible. However, those who have tasted communion with God know that not only is it possible, it satisfies the deepest longing of both the human heart and God’s heart. For this reason we were created, to fellowship and commune with our Creator. Therefore, it is with arms wide open and faces aglow with the joy of His Son’s light that we embrace the warmth of His companionship. Truly, the Morning Star has risen within our hearts and the prophetic word becomes clear to us (II Pet. 1:19).
About one third of Scripture involves dreams, visions, and God talking with people. It is no small item of Scripture. The prophets, David, the apostles, especially John (Revelation) and others down through history have experienced this close communion with God. Jesus said, ”My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow ME” John 10:27. It is clearly God’s will to speak to all of us who are His children.
