HEAVENLY COMMUNICATION 101
 GOD IS EVER TALKING TO
 MAN…ONLY THAT MAN OFTEN
 TIMES DON’T LISTEN!

 GOD REALLY WANTS YOU TO
 HEAR HIS VOICE
 WE ARE ENTITLED TO HEAR GOD
 EVERY SECOND OF OUR LIVES

 GOD DOESN’T SPEAK TO US
 THROUGH QUIVERS IN THE LIVER.

 HEARING GOD’S VOICE IS AS
 NATURAL AS HEARING A FRIEND
 TALK TO YOU! (JOHN 10: 3-5)
WE HAVE ALL HEARD
   FROM GOD AT
DIFFERENT POINTS IN
OUR LIVES, ONLY THAT
 WE DID NOT TAKE
       NOTE!
 COMMUNICATION IS A TWO-WAY AFFAIR.
 OFTEN TIMES WE PRAY AND DON’T LISTEN!
 POST YOUR REQUESTS AND WAIT FOR A
 REPLY!!!

 WE USUALLY RUN TO GOD WHEN WE FEEL
 LIKE, NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE A STEADY
 RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM! ONLY HIS SHEEP
 WILL IDENTIFY HIS VOICE
 THE STATE OF THE
 HEART/MIND, HOW CONFUSED
 ARE YOU? WHY DO YOU WANT TO
 HEAR HIM? (doing the right things for
 the wrong reasons)

 DON’T GET STEREOTYPED ABOUT
 GOD, HE IS A DYNAMIC AND
 VERSATILE GOD! E.G BALAAM (num
 22:20-32)
DISCLAIMER
IT IS NOT EVERYTIME THAT YOU
 MUST HEAR A VOICE SPEAKING
 GOD SPEAKS TO US IN DIVERSE
             WAYS!

THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED LINKS ARE OUR FOCUS
THROUGH THE WORD
 PRAYER IS OUR WAY OF REACHING GOD, GOD
 REACHES US THROUGH HIS WORD, ALLOW
 HIM TALK! 2 TIM 3:16

 JUMPING SCRIPTURES
THE STILL SMALL VOICE
(1ST KINGS 19:11-13)

 IN PRAYERS
 DURING INTENSE MEDITATION
  (THOUGHTS)
 A VOICE IN YOUR EAR (ISAIAH 30:21)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
(ROMANS 8:14)
BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT
BEING CONVICTED BY THE SPIRIT
JOHN 16:8
When talking about the Holy Spirit, Jesus employed
  imagery taken from the courtroom. The Holy Spirit
  within us, he said will be like a lawyer - sometimes acting
  as a prosecutor and sometimes acting as a defense
  advocate.
1. The Holy Spirit in prosecutor mode comes to us in
    order to gently "convict" us where we are falling short of
    what God requires. Ever had a pang of conscience? That
    was the action of the Holy Spirit in your life.
2. But most of the Holy Spirit's activity is as our advocate
    who comes alongside us, stands alongside us and
    defends us. What a friend he can be. One of the other
    names given to the Holy Spirit is counselor: he counsels
    us when we need not just support but also insight, good
    judgment and wisdom.
CONVERSATION WITH OTHERS

 THROUGH HIS SERVANTS
 SERMONS
 EVEN ‘CASUAL’ DISCUSSION WITH
 FRIENDS
CIRCUMSTANCES
 CASE STUDY BALAAM -
  NUMBERS 22: 20 – 31
 MOSES AND THE ISRAELITES
 JOB
 SIGNS…(Israelites in the desert)
ANY
 OTHER
MEANS???
DEBATE
DREAMS: HOW
RELIABLE ARE
   THESE?
BE OPEN TO
     ANY
 AVENUE GOD CAN
USE TO TALK TO YOU
WHAT THEN DO I NEED TO DO?

 GET BORN AGAIN/ REDEDICATE
 YOUR LIFE

 MONITOR YOUR MIND CONDITION

 ENGAGE IS EDIFYING
 CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE
 DEVELOP A CONCIOUS RAPPORT
 WITH THE HEAVENS

 STUDY THE BIBLE MORE (WITH
 PURPOSE AND EXPECTATION)

 PRAY MORE AND MORE WITH
 PURPOSE. 1ST THESSALONIANS 5:16 -
 23
