THE HOLY SPIRIT...GOD'S VOICE IN OUR LIVES (2 of 8)
LISTENING TO GOD
REV. 13:9 "HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR."
Dr. Rick E. Ferguson
JOHN 14:25-26; 15:26; 16:7-15
Question: Does it ever bother you when you meet
someone who is always saying:
* "God spoke to me and said..."
* "God told me such and such..."
* "I heard God saying..."
I have to confess to you there have been times when I
have heard people say:
* "God spoke..."
* "God said..."
* "God told me..."
and I nodded my head in agreement as though this is
absolutely normal (because I did not want to appear
unspiritual)
BUT
Down deep in my heart it really bothered me because I
was thinking:
* "Why don't I ever hear from God?"
* "Why doesn't God talk to me like that?"

In fact, there have been times people told me that God
had spoken to them and down deep in my heart I

watching the television broadcast. You're wanting to
hear something from God.
It is that desperate desire to hear from God and know
that I have heard from God that led me to:
* study
* seek God
* search the scriptures
to learn how to listen to God.
I have been preaching a series of messages to try to
share with you what I have learned over the years
about the matter of listening to God.
Today I want to share with you one of the most
important/basic insights I gained in the process. And
that is simply this:
"The Holy Spirit Is God's Voice In Our Lives."
Here is how I tried to learn about listening to God:
* I prayed (asking God to teach me, speak to me, give
me listening ears)
* I studied the Word (reading every passage ...
