"HOW GOD SPEAKS"
Intro: That God should speak is not unreasonable. We were created for fellowship. We could only know Him as He spoke and revealed Himself.
I. THE VARIETY OF WAYS IN WHICH HE SPEAKS - HEBREWS 1:1.
A. He speaks to us in nature - Psalm 19.
1. Nature is never the final voice.
2. Danger of irrationality, worship nature.
"...worshipped and served the creature more than..."
3. What does He say in nature?
a. Consider the lilies of the field - fowls of the air. (God provides for His creation)
b. "That which thou sowest is not quickened except it die first, sow bare grain God gives it a body that pleases Him."
c. That the plants depend upon the sun for life.
B. He has spoken audibly.
1. Samuel.
2. Christ baptism - transfiguration.
3. To Paul on Damascus road.
C. He speaks through angels.
1. Daniel.
2. Zacharias - Mary.
3. Peter in prison.
4. Paul on ship in storm.
D. He speaks through visions and dreams.
1. Danger of seeking spiritual interpretation to every dream.
E. He speaks through His prophets.
1. Gift of prophesy in church today.
F. He speaks through His Word.
G. He speaks by His Spirit to your spirit.
1. "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith..."
2. "For the Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the Sons of God."
3. Elijah - the fire - wind - earthquake - still, small voice.
4. The naturalness of this way - Peter, Jeremiah.
a. The need of discernment - is it God's Spirit or my spirit?
1. God will never say anything contrary to His Word - "though I or an angel from heaven..."
2. God will confirm His Word - (Jermiah. "Then I knew that this..."
II. HOW TO HEAR OR RECOGNIZE GOD'S VOICE.
A. You need a quiet time and place.
1. Start with His Word.
a. Ask God to speak to you.
b. Then listen.
c. When He brings a scripture to you and makes it live, thank Him - worship.
B. God is speaking - the problem is, we're not listening.
