Precepts to know God's Voice

The invitation

As people who walk and fellowship with God, we should know His voice. We should have a hunger and thirst to become more acquinted with our Father’s voice. In today’s age there are many people who claim to had received a word from God, and most of the people who say they have a word really do not. But the message they received are from a familiar spirit seeking to try and decieve the people of God. That is why it is imparative for the people of God in this age to know God’s voice, and discern when God is speaking and not speaking.

So in today’s lesson I invite everyone who is reading this lesson to take to heart the words written in it. To consider the message of this sermon, and most impartantly fact check everything i say with the word of God.

The Opening

When i first gave my life to Christ, i had a thirst to know Him. My hunger and thirst at times was so strong that it was easy for me to loss sight on the life i was living as a young boy who was just entering his teen years. During the summer and even when school was in session, I’ll spend countless hours studying the word of God. It was because I wanted to know more about God. I remember i told my counsins one summer that they would see less of me, because I was on a mission to know God more and more by devoting my life to prayer, studying the word, and worship.

the three things I can say help me to grow as a follower of Christ. these three things also helped me to sharpen my perception and discernment of knowing God’s voice.

This is what I want to share with the body of Christ today. my personal understanding (backed by the word of God), of how to lay the foundation to become more acquinted to know God’s voice. and the scripture I have to say answers the first two are 1 Samaul 3:1-2; 10, 19-21.

1 Samuel 3:1; 10, 19-21

1 Samuel 3:1 ESV

Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.

1 Samuel 3:10 ESV

And the Lord came and stood, calling as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant hears.”

1 Samuel 3:19–21 ESV

And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord. And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord.
