The document discusses several ways that God speaks to believers, including through the Bible, the Holy Spirit, circumstances/timing, other people's lives, actual voices, and more. It emphasizes that hearing God is a learned skill that requires humility and choosing to listen for God's voice in various ways he may reveal himself. Believers must be attentive and obedient to fully hear what God is saying.
“Being used by God
is not confined to pastors, preachers or teachers. Anybody can be an instrument
in God's hands.”
God can use anybody, believer or nonbeliever.
EVANGELISM 101: Lesson 1 - Biblical Foundations of EvangelismFrancis Hernandez
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (Romans 10:13-15)
"It (Evangelism) comes from the same Greek word for gospel (euangelion) and means, literally, “gospeling.” When we evangelize we are “gospeling” — we are spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ." - https://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/what-evangelism/
Every Christian is called to do the divine task of evangelism. Evangelism is a task not just for the select churches, or for the evangelists or pastors. This is Lesson 1 of EVANGELISM 101 Series. Given last April 23, 2021 at HOPE Christian Fellowship in Guinobatan, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, Philippines by Ptr. Francis S. Hernandez.

We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.
Do you desire to hear God's voice? How do you know when He's speaking? This study details the methods through which God speaks and the heart we must have in order to hear Him clearly.
Overcoming Strongholds is another struggle Christians go through as they are entangled to the pleasures of the world. Satan brings lies about themselves, about others and about God. Believeing these lies create a stronghold and reinforcing the lie leads them away from God. Real freedom includes overcoming the strongholds in our spiritual life. Be Blessed!
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.

Thoughts helpful in the life of the soul from Book I – The Imitation of Christ.
If only a man would never seek passing joys or entangle himself with worldly affairs, what a good conscience he would have.
In silence and quiet the devout soul advances in virtue and learns the hidden truths of Scripture.
Why wish to see what you are not permitted to have? “The world passes away and the concupiscence thereof.”

Complete abandonment of desires (vasana, mental conditioning) is called the best state of liberation (moksha) and is the only pure step towards happiness.
The absence of desires leads to the extinction of mental actions, in the same manner as the absence of cold melts small particles of ice. Our desires uphold our living bodies and bind us tightly to our bodily prison like ropes. These being loosened, the inner soul is liberated.
Mental conditioning is of two kinds: pure and impure. The impure ones cause reincarnation, while the pure ones serve to destroy it. An impure desire is like a mist of ignorance, the stubborn feeling that one is the individual ego. The wise say that individual ego is the cause of rebirth.
Why did Jesus have to die? The Law of God is the penalty of sin is death. God can not change this without changing Who He is. Jesus comes to each person offers to take their sin in exchange for His righteousness. He then had to die our punishment for sin so that we can receive the righteousness of God.
Jesus said to "Love your enemies." It's a revolutionary kind of love. We are to love like this because our Heavenly Father loves like this.

God's word is life, it judges, it is powerful.
It is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, & training in righteousness to prepare us for every good work.
Kairos training meant to give spiritual freedom from worldliness. Hearing God is a primary part that God speaks to everyone we need to have a receptive ear and willing mindset. The minds tuned to God listen more from God and activate freedom. Be Blessed!

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

4. Many different ways you
may hear from God:
• The Bible: In order to actually "hear" from God,
we have to know some things about God's
character. The Bible is your final authority – the
standard by which you should check everything
else you think God may be saying to you.
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,
thoroughly equipped for every good work"
II Timothy 3:16-17
5. The Holy Spirit
• The still small voice. Most of the time God uses a
tiny voice inside us to let us know when we're not on
the right path. God often speaks directly to your
spirit in quiet yet powerful ways that nudge you to
pay attention.
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to
be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him.
You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you”
John 14: 16-17
6. Circumstances/Timing
• Sometimes the only way God can teach us
something is to allow circumstances in our life to
lead us to and through the very thing we need to
discover.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will
counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a
mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit
and bridle, or it will not stay near you.”
Psalm 32:8-9
7. Other People’s Lives
• Many times God will use other people to try to get
through to us. You can learn valuable lessons from
the way other people live their lives. If they make
mistakes, you can see the results. If they live faithfully,
you can be inspired.
“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of
the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek
him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his
ways! You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.
Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!”
Psalm 119:1
8. God’s Actual Voice
• Sometimes we're able to "hear" something in our
spirit that sounds to us like an actual audible voice.
Or all of a sudden, you just know you heard
something. Pay attention to those occasions
because it is very likely God trying to tell you
something.
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me.”
John 10:27
10. Can’t Hear God’s Voice?
Who Has The Problem?
• God or You?
• God is always speaking, but you may not
always be hearing Him.
• The Lord manifests Himself to us and
through us as we humbly seek Him.
"Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will
listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you
search for Me with all your heart.“
Jeremiah 29:12-13
11. Hearing from God is a learned skill.
• The most difficult part of hearing God is the fact that
it takes time to learn to discern God's voice -- and it
takes a humble heart.
• Notice how God is at work around you, and see what
you can learn from it.
• Choose to trust God even when you don’t
understand what He’s doing.
• Whenever He leads you to join Him in His work,
decide to obey, and He will keep leading you.
12. “God uses lots of things to talk to us.
But actually hearing from God isn't so
much a matter of if HE’S talking,
but rather, whether WE’RE listening.”
-Karen Wolff
But he said, “Blessed rather are those
who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Luke 11:28
