God is Speaking 1: How God Speaks

In this message, Pastor Carl explores the theme “God is Speaking: Recognizing and Responding to God’s Voice,” emphasizing the ways in which God communicates with believers today. Drawing from Scripture, he establishes that God has not ceased speaking and continues to guide His people through the Bible, the Holy Spirit, others, and even dreams and visions. Pastor Carl highlights Jesus’ assurance in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit would “guide you into all the truth” and reminds the congregation that “just because we are not listening doesn’t mean God is not talking.”

Pastor Carl underscores that the Bible remains the foundation for recognizing God’s voice, referencing 2 Timothy 3:16-17: “All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness.” He cautions against theological distortions and stresses the importance of contextually understanding Scripture.

The sermon also points to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Carl explains how the Spirit “makes God’s truth accessible and personal” and equips believers to live in alignment with God’s will. Additionally, he encourages openness to prophetic words and visions, as promised in Acts 2:17: “Your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.”

The message concludes with a call to seek the Holy Spirit’s empowerment to hear God more clearly, reminding believers of the privilege and necessity of discerning His voice in their daily lives.

As you reflect on this message this week, consider the following:

1. Do you know how you hear God? What are you willing to do to hear His voice this week?
2. Make a plan this week to set aside time to hear God from reading the Bible.
3. Have you received the power of the Holy Ghost? What is God calling you to do to get a fresh filling?
