PROPHETIC GENERATION

1 Samuel 2:11-13, 18, 24-26, 3:1

YOU ARE VOICE, NOT ECHO Preachers preach sermons, prophets have the Word of the Lord. Well without water. Form without fire Apostles didn’t have the Bible, but they knew the Author. We know the Bible, but we don’t know the Holy Spirit Knowing the Bible is not the same as knowing Holy Spirit. Pharisees and Priests and Professors Bible there is to lead us to Author. Star in Bethlehem not for show or pictures but to guide to PERSON

PRAYER BIRTHS PROPHETS Barren and desperate, barren and content Her breakthrough came to her and Eli Two places where everything is decent and quiet – sleep and coffin

DIDN’T KNOW GOD Knowing lot about God without knowing God is very dangerous, it gives you the idea that you know God You can’t know God by going to college, but by prayer and relationship On the day of judgment, it wouldn’t matter if you knew about Lakers, or Jewish history but if you knew God You will never know God’s voice by knowing lot about God, it’s in knowing Him you know His voice

PROPHETS WALK IN HONOR TO AUTHORITY You can’t live in rebellion to authority and expect God to use you You will be tempted to rebel when authority is not right. Saul and Jesus Honor and obedience. Noah’s didn’t not disobey just dishonored It provides protection, not to annoy you, but to protect you. Elijah had Elisha It provides brokenness of the will . brokenness builds life

CONVICTION OR COMPROMISE When you give up your convictions, you live out of compromise Guard your loins with Conviction. God wants to lose your from devil, satan wants you to be loosed from conviction Holiness is more than not sinning, it’s separate and unite. Separate and consecration Holiness is living in the Presence of Holy Spirit and getting convictions out of that place We pursue happiness God is into holiness. Happiness wouldn’t bring holiness, holiness brings true happiness
