And we get that. 7 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,480 Straight from the Word of God, I'm going to show you in the 8 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,480 story of Samuel this very powerful revelation. 9 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,000 So we're going to go right into that. 10 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,280 And so we're going to go into Samuel. 11 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,160 Now. Let me just put that up there 12 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,240 for us. So speak, Lord, I'm listening. 13 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,760 And so, yeah, that is really what we all need most. 14 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,000 Speak Lord, we need a word from God. 15 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,480 Come on, somebody, we need a word from the Lord. 16 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,120 We need to hear what God is saying. 17 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,760 God, we all need that. OK, Because the Bible says we do 18 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,840 not just live by bread alone, we don't just live by food, but we 19 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,080 live by every word. OK, so we need the word of God 20 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,600 because in the world we are living in right now, there is 21 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920 just so many opinions everywhere. 22 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,440 Opinions, opinions everywhere. And listen, we don't need more 23 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,160 opinions, we need the word of. God. 24 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,720 We need the truth of the word of OK listen, that is the word of 25 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,920 God, because one word from God can do more than 1000 opinions. 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,560 Of the 1000 people. That's what the Word of God, one 27 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,400 word from God can do more and change and shift things more 28 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,720 than opinions. So we don't need more opinion. 29 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,080 We need the Word of God. The Word of God brings the 30 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,040 truth, the clarity, the direction that we need. 31 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,760 The Word of God brings healing, open doors that not man can come 32 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,040 up. Somebody, somebody say speak 33 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Lord. Yeah. 34 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360 That's what we need. We need the Word of God. 35 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,280 We need the truth of the word of the Lord, OK. 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,560 And so maybe today you've walked in and you feel a bit tired or 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760 you feel pressure, family or relationship or finances, or 38 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,640 you've got some questions.

When God speaks, the mountains 43 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,280 move. When God speaks, things shift, 44 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,280 things change. Breakthrough comes. 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,240 And so you are one word. God is speaking one word away 46 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040 from breakthrough.

It comes first, Samuel. 63 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,760 I'll also put it up on the screen for us. 64 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,400 Oh, I love my new Bible. I just love it when you've got a 65 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200 new Bible because you can start marking and you can just go for 66 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,160 it. It's just fresh. 67 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,960 I really believe it's a fresh word here today for us. 68 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,920 Are you ready for a fresh word and now word? 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,520 OK, now let's go there. First Samuel This is our main 70 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,360 text first Samuel chapter 3 verse 9. 71 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,120 It says something, Eli said to Samuel. 72 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,800 Go lie down. And if he. 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360 Calls you, you shall say speak, Lord. 74 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,000 Somebody say speak Lord. OK, because your servant is 75 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,200 listening. So, Samuel. 76 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Went and lay down in his place. Father, we thank you for your 77 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,920 presence. Lord, I pray that you'll anoint 78 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,800 every year. Open every heart to receive. 79 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,560 Lord, I thank you that Your word is life and I pray that Your 80 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,440 word will bring life and come alive in the hearts of your 81 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,560 people. Lord, I pray that faith will 82 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,040 arise. Speak Lord, we are listening. 83 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,600 In Jesus mighty name somebody shall I may OK so the Bible 84 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,680 tells us about this young boy and his name is Samuel. 85 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,160 Now he's working in the temple, he's serving in the temple. 86 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839 He's faithful. He's he's planted there and he's 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,440 serving and he's, he's showing up and he's, he's just there in 88 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,640 the temple and serving. And so he's doing the right 89 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,680 thing and he was available. But yes, the problem is that he 90 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,200 had not yet recognized the voice of. 91 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,800 God. So he's in the temple. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,960 He's serving. Yes, he knew the temple. 93 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960 Yes, he knew how to serve. He knew how to be faithful. 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,560 He knew. The routine OK, but he did not 95 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,280 know the. Voice of God. 96 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,200 He did not recognize that he was still learning the voice. 97 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,040 So even he knew the temple, even he was near the presence of God, 98 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,360 he still learned to hear the voice of God. 99 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,680 OK. And So what I love about. 100 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,960 This shift that we see easier. They get he's been in the temple 101 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440 serving and all that. All of a sudden God's about to 102 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,400 shift him from just routine to revelation, from just helping in 103 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,280 the house to hearing in the house. 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,200 And that's the shift that we see him stepping really into the 105 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600 prophetic as a prophet to the nation. 106 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,280 And so one night, while everything is quiet and it's 107 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,400 just, and he's silent, and God called his name. 108 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,960 And so Samuel heard God called his name, but he did not 109 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,840 recognize that he's God. So he ran into Eli and he said, 110 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,840 Eli, did you call me? And Eli said, no, I did not call 111 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:40,040 you. Go back. 112 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,560 And lie down. And so this was happened the 113 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,120 second time and it again and again God called his name and 114 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,120 here and he ran back to Eli over 3 three times. 115 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400 The third time, Eli finally realized. 116 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Hey, you know what? OK, this is the Lord. 117 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,720 This is finally realized. This must be the Lord calling 118 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,400 Samuel. And so Eli, he gives him this 119 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,960 amazing posture. This regular, he says. 120 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,800 Listen, when you go back and we laid out when God calls again, 121 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:13,240 then you say this, speak Lord, your servant is listening. 122 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,280 Now that is the. Heart of this message today 123 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,360 speak Lord. We are listening OK. 124 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,480 We are listening not. Speak Lord, we if it fits our 125 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,080 plan. Not as long as it is in line 126 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,320 with what I agree with or it fits in with my agenda or what I 127 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,360 have planned for my life, but rather a posture of I am 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000 listening, I am ready to do your will. 129 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,320 What it is that you are saying? So what you are saying, I say 130 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,640 yes to come on. Somebody, not mine will be done, 131 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120 but your will be done. So what is it that you are 132 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,000 saying? Well, and I'm not going to 133 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,360 debate and think about it and if it fits in with my program and 134 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,200 my. Schedule. 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,480 I'm going to be saying yes, Lord, whatever it is, if you say 136 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,000 that I need to do this and apply and go for that. 137 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,200 Direction, I say yes, Lord. And so that is the hard posture 138 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,000 that Samuel, what we see here, and from that moment, things 139 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,680 started shifting and changing in his life. 140 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,120 And I believe today he's your Samuel moment. 141 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,080 I believe God brought you to this place today, that this is. 142 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,240 Your moment of calling God is calling your name. 143 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,400 God is calling you and he's calling you. 144 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,080 And yes, you have been faithful. You have been showing up, you 145 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,520 have been serving, coming to the House of God, planted in the 146 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,200 House of God. And yes, now God is shifting us 147 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,320 and he's bringing you into a place of intimacy where you. 148 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Hear the voice of God. Where you know the voice of God 149 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,840 in that deep inner place. Come on, can you say I made 150 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,720 somebody Hallelujah? And so God is speaking God. 151 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120 It starts right in the 1st chapter of the Bible, Genesis 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080 chapter 1. The Bible says God sake, let 153 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,680 there be light. That's speaking right in the 1st 154 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,400 chapter of the Bible, God spoke and there was light. 155 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000 OK, that's Genesis one verse 3. God sake, let there be light and 156 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,080 there was light. And so God, he didn't fight the 157 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,760 darkness. God don't need to fight the 158 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,760 darkness. He just spoke. 159 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,159 Darkness cannot resist the voice of God. 160 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,799 Oh my God, God, open his mouth. The moment he opened his mouth, 161 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:43,799 light showed up, and darkness. Had to flee so God just spoke. 162 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:49,600 A word and so darkness. When God speaks, darkness does 163 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:55,240 not argue. Does not negotiate or trying to 164 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,720 walk back and try and negotiate now when God speaks, light shows 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,440 up and. Darkness has to move now. 166 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,000 Hebrews one verse one says God who? 167 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,880 At various times and various spoke in time passed to the 168 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Fathers by the prophets, as in these last days spoken to us by 169 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,880 His Son, whom is pointed heir of all things through, who must 170 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,280 invite the world to being the brightness of His glory and the 171 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,160 express image of His present person. 172 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000 And upholding all things by the word of his power. 173 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,560 So that means Jesus upholds everything. 174 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,680 By his powerful word. The same word that creates and 175 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,120 everything in the beginning God said let there be light. 176 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,560 That same word is holding everything together in your 177 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:40,480 life, the very. Same word that God spoke. 178 00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:44,080 And so that's the powerful Word of God. 179 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,840 So God's not silent. We see it all throughout the 180 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,040 Bible, from the book of Genesis all the way through to 181 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400 Revelation. That God is speaking God. 182 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,000 God speaks to create. God speaks to create. 183 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520 God speaks to a point. God speaks to call. 184 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,520 God speaks to heal and to restore. 185 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,160 So God speaks to call his people OK, to send people into purpose. 186 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,640 And so the good news is, I love the song that God's never 187 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,680 stopped. Speaking. 188 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,600 He's still speaking. He's still speaking today, so 189 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520 he's never stopped. The same God who said let there 190 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480 be light. He's still speaking light into 191 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,520 dark places, into difficult situations in our lives. 192 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,280 He's still speaking. OK. 193 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,080 And so that's why your situation. 194 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Is not too complicated. Your problem is not too big, 195 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,920 it's not too difficult. So you are not stuck. 196 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,400 You are one word away from breakthrough. 197 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,880 One word, one word away from. Breakthrough one word from God. 198 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,840 I just love the very. Fact that when pizza was in the 199 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,960 butter, Jesus gave him one. Word. 200 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240 Jesus didn't give him a long explanation, a long plan. 201 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,400 How do you walk on water? The science of walking on water. 202 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,320 None of that stuff he gave. One word, One word has got 203 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440 enough power to kick Peter out of the. 204 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,920 Boat walking on water that. Word has got. 205 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,560 Enough power, one word from God. Jesus on the storm with his 206 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,360 disciples. The storm is riding one. 207 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,760 He's just like peace, be still. And the storm comes. 208 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000 One word. Jesus stands at a dead tomb, 209 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,560 dead grave. Blast the dead for day. 210 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,480 In one word, Lazer come forth and he rises from the dead. 211 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,120 That's the power of a word from God. 212 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,760 And you are one word away from your breakthrough, because when 213 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,560 God speaks one word over your life, your life will never be 214 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:37,200 the same again. Somebody says speak Lord, I am 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,680 listening. Come on, give God some. 216 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,720 Praise now because that is what happens when God speaks. 217 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,240 Everything shifts and I remember growing up in South Africa, we 218 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,240 had a lot of load shedding and that's when the power shots, and 219 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,880 I mean the entire neighborhood or a city can just be out of. 220 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,160 Power. No power. 221 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,120 Those of you don't know you just like everything shuts down and 222 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,080 it's like there's no electricity, there's no power, 223 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,760 there's no Internet, no. Traffic signals and it's just 224 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,680 everything is like come to like a standstill. 225 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,080 Nothing's moving now. The infrastructure is still 226 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,120 there, but nothing's. Working. 227 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,720 And so, so that's how it can feel sometimes in life, that the 228 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,720 dream is still there, the promise is still there, the 229 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,160 calling is still there, but it feels like it's stuck. 230 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,880 It feels like nothing's moving. It feels dark, it feels silent. 231 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,000 But then you have this guy. He walks right into that control 232 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040 room. That when the electric. 233 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,600 The power hub and without a debate or Aussie for another 234 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,920 report or this or that, all that that guy does, he flips one 235 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,120 switch and one switch the lights, the power comes on, the 236 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,160 entire city comes alive and everything starts moving. 237 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,440 That's how glass works, works. He flips one switch, He speaks 238 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,320 one word and everything, what was dead comes alive again. 239 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,560 Where this darkness comes lights again, mountains where things 240 00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,520 shift around. When God speaks, it's like the 241 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,760 power flows again. That power comes back on again 242 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,560 when God speaks a word into your life, it just lets up 243 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,000 everything. And so you see, God doesn't need 244 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,600 a boardroom meeting. God doesn't need your fault. 245 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,040 It doesn't need to be fault today. 246 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400 It's not a democracy. You don't fault God. 247 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,560 God does not need your fault. He does not need everyone's 248 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,760 agreement. God is God is boss. 249 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,640 Oh my, he's a great come on, God, just move in. 250 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,880 He just shut the table. His boss. 251 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,440 God is boss. God is king. 252 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,240 We don't fault him, mate. God doesn't need a boardroom 253 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,720 meeting. All he does spike one word, it 254 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,120 speaks one where it just shows up, speaks one word and 255 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,160 everything shifts. Everything changes. 256 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Hallelujah. And that word that he speaks. 257 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,400 Matthew 4 Four We don't live just by McDonald's. 258 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,880 Yeah, we don't have just by. We live by every word. 259 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,680 That proceeds like how we go deeper proceeds out of the mouth 260 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,000 of God that. Word proceeds. 261 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:28,080 The preceding word of God means that God is constantly speaking. 262 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Man shall not, but by every word, not one word a year ago. 263 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,760 And now word. And he says here, Matthew 4, 264 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,200 four man shall not live by bread, OK. 265 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,800 Or steak. OK, because I enjoy steak 266 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,360 anyway, so yeah. But. 267 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,360 We enjoy MacDonald, we enjoy our steaks and we enjoy that, but 268 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,160 that's that's temporary food, OK, we are talking about yet 269 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,240 says by every word that proceeds OK. 270 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,080 From the mouth of God, so proceed. 271 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,320 That's constantly goes for So God is not only the God who 272 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000 spoke in the past, but he's the God who's still speaking in the 273 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,720 present right now. A now word, a preceding word, a 274 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920 fresh word for your. Life. 275 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,160 So there is a fresh word for your Life, OK, for every season 276 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,560 of your life, a fresh word, and then for the season and the time 277 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160 that you're in right now. Every day the Bible talks about 278 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,400 fresh God Give me my daily food, daily bread manner, fresh 279 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,400 manner, every day a fresh word from God. 280 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,040 So it's a now instruction that can shift everything because 281 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,000 that's how we. Live. 282 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,440 That's how God we receive his fresh proceeding. 283 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,480 Now, word for our lives, that's how we live. 284 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320 OK, but the problem. Sometimes is that we try to 285 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:53,040 live. Today on yesterday's word we try 286 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,120 to live here on this, but yesterday's word that passes and 287 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,200 word that style breed. We need fresh bread for today. 288 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080 A fresh. Now word for this moment. 289 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,040 Right now to give direction. Where am I going now? 290 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,480 God? What do you want me to do now? 291 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,320 A. Fresh word. 292 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,280 This is why this message is so. Important about hearing the 293 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,600 voice of God. God, do I apply for that job? 294 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,920 Do I do this? This is why this is so 295 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,440 important, this message. Now think about Abraham. 296 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,800 God gave him a word. God said. 297 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,920 Take your son magic. Offer him up as a sacrifice. 298 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,360 That's a word from God now, Abraham. 299 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:46,000 Goes and he says, but then God gave a fresh word and just 300 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,600 before he wanted to say stop, that's a fresh preceding word. 301 00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:00,040 Now what if because the the. First word was like go sacrifice 302 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640 yourself. Then the the fresh word is like 303 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,880 stop. So the first word. 304 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,319 Led him up to the mountain, and then he got another word. 305 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,960 And that word saved his son. So what if imagine now Abraham 306 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280 would have held on. Stuck in the past? 307 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,240 Word in the past. Season where God says sacrifice 308 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,680 your sons, OfferUp your son Isaac. 309 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,960 And he would have stayed stuck in there. 310 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,960 What if he would have done that? He would have. 311 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,920 Missed the fresh preceding word to save his son. 312 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,080 That's why the preceding fresh now word is so important. 313 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,480 It's so much power in the now fresh word from God that brings 314 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,960 a shift in your life that changed things in your life. 315 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,000 OK, because there was the first word. 316 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,400 But if Abraham would have held on to the past word, he would 317 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,640 have missed. The now word. 318 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,080 The power of the preceding word. So don't proceed without a 319 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:08,480 preceding word. Before you make a decision, 320 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,560 listen. Oh. 321 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,520 I really especially for one people because I remember so 322 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,880 clearly, I said God show me inshallah, Maria. 323 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,480 Yes, Maria. Michelle, listen. 324 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:27,200 Because that word can save years of pain and frustration and 325 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,040 heartache. Years ago I was like God said, 326 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:38,760 don't get that Lady now, especially relationships. 327 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,480 That is a biggie. First, ask God. 328 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,760 Listen. God, do I apply for this job? 329 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,200 Listen. Carl, do I start this business? 330 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,480 Do I sign up? There's this party. 331 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,680 He's got investments. This. 332 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Do I do it? Listen first, Oscar, this 333 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,320 friend, this relationship. God, do you want me to date this 334 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,800 person? Be in this relationship? 335 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:13,120 Listen before you proceed. First, get a preceding word. 336 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,920 A fresh word from God about the situation. 337 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,960 OK. Because you know when God 338 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,600 speaks, he interrupts our normal routine. 339 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440 Lives OK. It's like when you put on the 340 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800 news, this is not just a normal news broker. 341 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,920 This is breaking news. It comes on the picture, it says 342 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,240 breaking. What is break? 343 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Breaking news means listen, every other programming can stop 344 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,360 right now. This is not normal. 345 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,840 This is not routine. This is breaking news, meaning 346 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,880 this is not news that happened last year. 347 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,400 This is breaking news that is happening right now. 348 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,200 That's like the word of God that comes right now like a now word 349 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,120 it. Interrupts your normal region 350 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:53,680 because some of us, we zip in our autopilot, same cycles, same 351 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,760 habits, same way of thinking, same routines. 352 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,400 But when the word of God comes it, it disrupts it interrupts 353 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,720 the normal way of living and gasp like go this way, go there, 354 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,160 go there and then. Afresh and word comes, he says. 355 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040 Stop. Don't go this way. 356 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,800 You see where we have to follow what God is saying, OK, because 357 00:20:21,360 --> 00:20:24,720 the past season word was go, but the fresh word being stopped. 358 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,360 And so in that moment, if you stay in the past season word. 359 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:40,800 You missed the present one now.

The GPS doesn't condemn you and 376 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,160 say, oh, that's it, You've ruined your whole journey. 377 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,680 No, the GPS simply says recalculating. 378 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,520 Yeah, that's what it's The GPS doesn't condemn you. 379 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,200 Oh, you've missed a turn. Oh, you. 380 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,560 No, he says, recalculate. That's what God does in our 381 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,560 lives. When you've missed a turn, God 382 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,240 recalculate. He recalculate you. 383 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:14,440 OK, because we see that here in the Scripture, Samuel. 384 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,400 God called Samuel, but he missed it. 385 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,200 God called him. He did not recognize. 386 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,680 That's God's voice. He went to Eli. 387 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,760 And so thank God did not give up on him. 388 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,000 God kept on calling again. Because God knows how to call 389 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,320 again. God knows how to get your. 390 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,640 Attention. God knows how to recalculate. 391 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,120 Recalculate you. Amen. 392 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,600 And redirect you he he's patient so he doesn't stop talking. 393 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,760 He keeps on speaking. God always keeps on speaking, 394 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,400 OK? And so he's still calling you. 395 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,960 He's still calling your name. So don't live and regret. 396 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,360 Get back into the word and get back into listening. 397 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,160 That place of listen. Amen. 398 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,000 And we are hard to say. Lord speak, I'm listening. 399 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,520 And so yes, maybe a year today and you have been asking God for 400 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,760 a word and you believe in God for direction. 401 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,200 You say God, what must I do in this situation? 402 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,280 Must I go for this business? Must I apply for this? 403 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,400 Must I marry that person? Must I go? 404 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,680 For that relationship, what do I do now? 405 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,320 What's amazing good news is Jesus gives us a very powerful 406 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,680 promise. In the book. 407 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,960 Of John, where he talks about because we are his sheep and 408 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,480 the. Shepherd, the Good Shepherd and 409 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,360 how he leads us, and he talks about how we can hear his. 410 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:44,360 Voice. What a promise, he says here in 411 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,160 verse 27. John 1027. 412 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,160 My sheep hear my voice. Hallelujah. 413 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,200 That's a powerful promise from the Word of God. 414 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,560 And I know them. And they will follow me. 415 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,840 So it means that you. Can hear God's voice. 416 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,920 You can hear God's in your everyday life, wherever you go, 417 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,600 in traffic, wherever you are, you can hear God's voice. 418 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,920 You can know God's voice. So you don't have to live 419 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:13,480 confused in this fallen world. You don't have to live unsure 420 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,360 about what is my next step, what is the next opportunity where 421 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,960 you don't have to live unsure because you know Him, you know 422 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,640 his voice, you belong to Him, and you follow Him. 423 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,640 The Shepherd who is still speaking, and what I love about 424 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,480 the Shepherd, where he's so reassuring, is the Shepherd 425 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,480 leads us besides the waters he leads us with. 426 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,000 The green pot. So he's going to get his best 427 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,640 interest. You are his best interest. 428 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,800 He loves you and he's going to lead you. 429 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:51,160 So you follow the Good Shepherd, good places, open doors, buy 430 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,000 that property and before you know it, that values increase 431 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,840 and crippled. Invest in that. 432 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,160 Come for that job and before you know it you get the promotion. 433 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080 Apply for that. It's like that edge we have got 434 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,640 over the world. Come on, as children of God, you 435 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,240 have got an edge. Over other people, that is in 436 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,480 the world, over the unbelievers, we have got an edge and that is 437 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,320 this voice of God. He's our God. 438 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,400 It's better than you age, I'm telling you now, because Jesus 439 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,000 will always lead you into all truth. 440 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,280 He will lead you to the right pops. 441 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,720 OK, and the shepherd still speaks, so he leads you to 442 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,440 postures. So the only thing is, here's the 443 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,600 challenge. And the challenge, the problem 444 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000 is there is sometimes there's interference. 445 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,200 And this interference is what I said earlier on, we called it 446 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:52,600 selective hearing. It's like Lord speak, but just 447 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,640 don't say that because. I like that relationship and I 448 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,400 want to date that person, but God says I don't want you to 449 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,240 date. Her. 450 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,360 And after school, I remember in college I learned this the hard 451 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,920 way, because God spoke to me so clearly and my voice said. 452 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,800 Don't date that girl. And sometimes we have selective 453 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,720 hearing. I'm like OK. 454 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,880 Lord. I I didn't really hear that one 455 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,640 because I don't want to hear that one because I want to. 456 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,520 I want to date the one that I wanted. 457 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:30,120 But I thank God I obeyed, and the moment when God spoke to me 458 00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:31,560 so. And and I'll. 459 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,720 Explain to you how God speaks. God speaks in a still whisper. 460 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,400 That's how God speaks. I'll never forget it. 461 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,920 Early in the morning. I was up early in the morning. 462 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,240 God spoke to me. I was brand new in Joburg 463 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,160 Marvel, so I was I was on my job. 464 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,200 They just started the job, so I didn't know nobody in Joburg. 465 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,200 I'm from Pretoria and here I'm in this big city started and I'm 466 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,520 doing my job. God spoke to me in every word he 467 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,480 said. Find a church in this area. 468 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,480 And I was. Thinking, oh, there is a church, 469 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,200 but that's. More in Randburg so that's like 470 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,640 the picture and my mind's like, OK, well, that's you know, I can 471 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,280 go there. There's ladies, we can date 472 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,360 people. I can meet people there. 473 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,840 Let me go to the big church. But I want to mention the name 474 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,400 of the big church, but God specifically is photos. 475 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,600 But now find a church close to your area where you're working. 476 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,680 And I was blown away. I didn't even know that church 477 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,480 existed. I found it online and the moment 478 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,840 I walked into that church, it was as a small to not like the 479 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,120 big one. The moment I walked into that 480 00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:36,640 church, that's where I saw Michelle on the stage. 481 00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:46,150 And why did that voice say to me, there's your wife? 482 00:27:50,030 --> 00:27:53,830 I thank God for this inner voice, the whisper of the Holy 483 00:27:53,830 --> 00:27:55,550 Spirit, the Lord that speaks to us. 484 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,840 And then he's speaking to us. And so selective hearing. 485 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,400 But so it's not that God stopped speaking. 486 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,360 It's that we have. Stopped listening so the 487 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:10,280 question is not OK. God, are you still speaking? 488 00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:11,960 The question is. Am I listening? 489 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,840 That's why this message is important, OK? 490 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,840 Because God, he's sharpening your hearing. 491 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,320 And so the voice of the shepherd will become clear again. 492 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,920 And so if God is speaking so why do we struggle sometimes? 493 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,480 To hear him. The problem is not God's voice, 494 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,920 the problem is the noise. And he says the book of Psalm 495 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:43,000 chapter 46, it says be still. And now that I am God, so now it 496 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,240 it does not say be too busy and distracted. 497 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,120 And now that he's God that's said be destroyed, he said be. 498 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,280 Still, and now that is God, I mean. 499 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:56,840 OK. And so stillness. 500 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,040 That creates us a space to hear. And so we are. 501 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,000 Living right now in the noisiest times in history. 502 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,680 Phones buzzing, social media everywhere. 503 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,240 You've got 24 hour. News OK, there's there's so many 504 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,320 channels and surrounded by noise. 505 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880 OK, so many. Voices always somebody speaking 506 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440 some opinions. They always opinions and 507 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,400 pressure and comparison and competing surrounding us. 508 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,720 And so if we are not careful. The noises can drown out the 509 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:36,360 voice that matters most. Too much noise, what is in your 510 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,520 ear because a lot of things are competing for your attention. 511 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,240 It's competing for your ear, especially these marketing. 512 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,120 These days, advertisements, everything, it's trying to catch 513 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,120 your attention and so sometimes. You know the enemy doesn't have 514 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,080 to destroy you. Sometimes all that he has to do 515 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,480 is distract you, because if he can fool you up with boys, then 516 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,760 he can keep you from hearing the one word, the word that will 517 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,760 bring a shift, the word that will bring power and change in 518 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,120 your life. So that is the strategy of the 519 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,360 enemy, if he can just distract you and keep you from hearing 520 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,320 that. Word when Jesus said to Peter, 521 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:24,600 come Lazarus, right? And that one word if the enemy 522 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,760 can keep you distracted. It's like trying to tune into a 523 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,720 radio station. Now the radio station, The thing 524 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:38,440 is, it's it's broadcasting, but if we're not tune into the right 525 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,400 frequency, it's. Just going to be aesthetic and 526 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,880 it's just. Noise, just static, you just 527 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,320 hear static. But the problem the it's the 528 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:51,000 radio station is broadcasting. So the the problem is not with 529 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,760 the radio station, it's just we got to tune the frequency. 530 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,080 That's why we have to tune it in the frequency because the the 531 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,720 the fear and that's why. With God when God speaks. 532 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:11,720 His voice OK, they can. Interference is from people's 533 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720 opinions. Business fear. 534 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,160 Worry. Those distractions can bring 535 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,720 interference from hearing the voice of God and so you. 536 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,560 Got to tune in to the radio station to hear it clearly. 537 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,280 We got to tune into heaven. And so it's not that God has got 538 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,840 to speak louder, it is that we have got to turn the noise down. 539 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,440 That's what we we got to turn the fear down, turn the doubt 540 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,200 down, turn the past down, the past voices, the voices of the 541 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,280 past regret the mistakes turn. Eat down. 542 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,880 So before you listen to everybody else's opinion, first 543 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,880 listen to him. OK, So create that space. 544 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,120 In your day now for me, it's in the mornings, early in the 545 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,200 morning. Create that space in your day, 546 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,640 wherever it is I. Remember when I worked in 547 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,040 Bristol, I would be there a couple of hours earlier before 548 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,920 work. Yeah, you know what I'm talking 549 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,840 where I would sit in the car and I would spend time. 550 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,720 I would create that space.

Oh my God, I'm super excited 571 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880 when God's can't be this word. You're going to hear the Word of 572 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,240 God clearer. Hallelujah. 573 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,800 And not because God's. All of a sudden started 574 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,160 speaking. It's always. 575 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,760 It's because you've. Made room. 576 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,360 You've made createspace and made room to listen now. 577 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,160 Most of the time when God speaks, God doesn't speak in 578 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,480 Thunder. He doesn't speak like a booming 579 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,160 voice from heaven. Dramatic, powerful, you know, 580 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,640 all big and huge sign that gives you like goosebumps. 581 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,800 God speaks most of the God. Speaks in a gentle whisper. 582 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,560 The Bible recalls the still small voice. 583 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,160 That's how God speaks to us. We feel his impression. 584 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,520 It's a gentle nudge. It's a prompting. 585 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,080 And you just all of a sudden, you know, that is something that 586 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,600 I must do. It's a knowing. 587 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,639 Suddenly I know I just need to pick up the phone. 588 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:23,600 I need to call that person. I just walked through my day all 589 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,440 of a sudden, OK, I need to phone that person. 590 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,000 I need to speak to that person. I need to encourage that 591 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,840 brother. That's the start. 592 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,920 I need to send that text. It's a knowing. 593 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,600 It's an impression. That's how. 594 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,560 God speaks, He speaks into your spirit and he says go and 595 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,120 encourage that person. Take that step. 596 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,760 Buy that. Go over there. 597 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,719 I've heard so many types. I would literally walk into a 598 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,120 shop and before I would buy something I feel an uneasy. 599 00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:52,679 I'm like why? Why must I not buy this or this? 600 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,200 Then moments later I would walk around and not far from the 601 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,200 South. I see the same product for half 602 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,800 price. So I'm like, OK. 603 00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:07,240 So I just like, right, Lord, so this is where we're going to go. 604 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:09,320 So I'm not going to buy. I'm just going to be obedient. 605 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,840 And before I knew it, I was like, oh, the same product for 606 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,960 half price. That's how we God leads us 607 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,520 because. God knows all the deals. 608 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,760 God knows where all the right deals, all the discounts. 609 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,280 He knows where all the open doors are. 610 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,560 Investors, God wants you blessed. 611 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,680 He wants your. Family blessed. 612 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,400 He wants the best for you. And so he's going to come, he's 613 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,800 going to speak to you and I'm going to say, right, Don't turn 614 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:32,960 off. You go that way. 615 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,200 In face there, there's a great business opportunity and he 616 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,560 directs you and he speaks to you. 617 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,040 That's how he lead it. It's not random, it's God 618 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,400 leading you. And so he speaks to us. 619 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,720 In a still, gentle whisper. And that's what I love about 620 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:52,400 that song. When he speaks, God gives us an 621 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,160 amazing picture in the Bible how he speaks. 622 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,920 In the book of first. Kings chapter 19. 623 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,760 Elijah's waiting for God to speak. 624 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:02,400 Now I want you to grab. All of this how to hear God? 625 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,320 This is amazing. And so there Elijah, he says, 626 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,040 wait, did you hear from God? And the Bible says there is this 627 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,520 big powerful wind and then there's big powerful earthquake 628 00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:16,320 and then there's this fire, but God was not in those. 629 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:22,440 So after the the rushing wind and the earthquake and the fire, 630 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,880 then came the gentle. Whisper, gentle whisper. 631 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,680 That's how he's showing us. That is how God speaks. 632 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,720 It's a gentle whisper. Yeah. 633 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,280 And so when circumstances in your life feels like an 634 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,280 earthquake that's just shaking everything and situation shaking 635 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,560 around you, OK and all, it feels like the storms of life and the 636 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,640 wind is blowing, strong wind blowing, or just feels like your 637 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,080 mind is racing. Get into the quiet place. 638 00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:00,760 This is what God is saying when it gets loud around you. 639 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,920 Get into the quiet place with God. 640 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,920 That's silent. Quiet place for the gentle 641 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,320 whispers. Because what I love about God, 642 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:16,640 the reason that he whispers. It's because he's close, you 643 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:17,520 see. You don't whisper. 644 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,600 To somebody that's far away. I don't whisper. 645 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,080 To say like when I whisper something. 646 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,600 You whisper to some when you're close to somebody, so somebody 647 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,440 that's close. So you whisper to your spouse. 648 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,640 You don't whisper to a stranger, somebody that's far away. 649 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,760 OK, So that tells me when God is saying to us that. 650 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,200 He comes in a gentle word. It says that. 651 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,320 You are his child and that I love you. 652 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,080 God is saying I trust you, I love you, you're my and that's 653 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,480 why I got so because you whisper to somebody that you love, 654 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,520 somebody that you trust, somebody that you close not far 655 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,880 away. And God says I whisper because 656 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,800 I'm close to you. I'm a whisper because you are my 657 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,600 child. I love you. 658 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,000 God's not far away that he has to. 659 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,920 Shout or be loud or force a gentle. 660 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,440 Whisper at planting. And so that's why during our 661 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,520 busy lives, we have. To learn to be sensitive even 662 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,600 though there's noise. We live in a noisy world. 663 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,040 I'm not saying we have to evacuate in the world. 664 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,400 But we have to. Learn because this is how we you 665 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,320 learn to hear the voice of God. It's not at once or we can see 666 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,520 that in the life of Samuel. It's it's a learning process. 667 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,320 So we have to learn to be sensitive to hear. 668 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,840 For the gentle whisper, the voice of God. 669 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,040 Because the more that you listen, the more clearer it. 670 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,480 Becomes yeah. And so Samuel shows us. 671 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:03,120 That hearing God is learned. OK, He didn't recognize the 672 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,680 voice at first. He he stayed. 673 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,320 Available So if Samuel if you had like a phone. 674 00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:12,280 So here's Samuel. If you had a phone he would have 675 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,720 had on his phone, he would have had three missed calls. 676 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,520 So 3 missed calls from heaven because heaven tried calling him 677 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,240 missed call. So he picked up before second 678 00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:27,840 missed call. So Samuel would have had three 679 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,680 missed calls from heaven. But thank God, God. 680 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,200 Heaven did not hang up on him, Heaven did not give up on him. 681 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,360 Heaven kept on calling him, kept on calling him and Soul Samuel 682 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,560 got it right. I thank God that God is patient 683 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,680 with us. I thank God that he never stops 684 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,440 talking. He keeps on talking, so it's. 685 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,120 Just like a match love. OK, let's just do a fine 686 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:55,320 alignment on tuning in. And so finally Samuel got to a 687 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,720 place I'm tuned in. OK, I got it right now. 688 00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:03,760 God yeah, speak, Lord. I am listening and from that 689 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,120 moment everything begin to shift, Everything begin to 690 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,600 change in his life. The moment he started. 691 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,240 This is what I love. About the word of God says that 692 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:16,040 Samuel grew so that's why we sits God was with him and this 693 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,600 is what a mighty. Prophet what? 694 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,000 A prophet of God. Listen to this, the Bible says, 695 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,840 now what's the prophetic? OK, Because I want you to see 696 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,400 the connection, you know? Because that's a real prophet. 697 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,400 A real prophet. OK, speak Lord, I'm listening. 698 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,320 And then releases the word. That's that. 699 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,560 OK, That's the real We are talking about the real prophet 700 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,760 because Samuel was a real prophet. 701 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:40,160 The Bible says this, not one of. His words fell to the ground. 702 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,400 What's his secret? He learnt to listen. 703 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,480 He learnt the voiced that's why we're such a brilliant prophet. 704 00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:55,360 That's why none of his words for because he learned to listen 705 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,880 first. We've got 2 ears, one mouth. 706 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,480 Some people speak too quickly. No, let's. 707 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:07,360 Listen before we speak. Let's hear from God first before 708 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,600 we just get on the phone and out there and talk. 709 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,320 A lot of opinions, a lot of opinions going on here. 710 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,240 I'm not interested in the word of God. 711 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,760 Give me the word, not somebody's opinion about the end time. 712 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,120 When is things going to wrap up about eschatology? 713 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,520 When is the right to?

That's a real. 716 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,760 Prophet, he learnt the voice of God, because that is. 717 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,440 Relationship, because relationship, the more you know 718 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,520 someone, the more you recognize their voice, so the more you 719 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,640 know somebody. OK, so for instance. 720 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,360 Let me give you an example so. So the more you're with somebody 721 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,240 or you listen to and spend time with them, the more you know and 722 00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:53,520 recognize their voice show.

I've spent time and it's the 736 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,280 same with God. You'll recognize and know His 737 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,600 voice. The more time that you spend 738 00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:50,640 with God, you will recognize His voice more clearly. 739 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,280 The more time you spend, His voice becomes clearer. 740 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,600 And when you know His voice, then you will know the next. 741 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,440 Step. You'll know your next step. 742 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,840 Isaiah 13 verse 21 says your ears shall hear a word behind 743 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,360 you saying this is the way. Walk in it. 744 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,160 So God always comes and he gives us the next step. 745 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,440 And that's what I love about God. 746 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,960 He's a Good Shepherd. He's going to. 747 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,000 Lead you into the right job, the right opportunity, the right 748 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,360 place, meet the right people. He's going to open the right 749 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,480 door. So he leads you. 750 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,280 He says, listen, go this way, go walk that way. 751 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,000 Go into that shop. Don't go there, OK? 752 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,320 I've had it many times where God stopped. 753 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,680 Now I felt it so strong. God said don't go to that event, 754 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,400 don't go with that person. I'm very, very selective when 755 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,600 God says to me, don't go and hang out with that person. 756 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,800 Especially in relationships, you've got to be because God's 757 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,280 like and because what happens is God wants to protect us, you 758 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,080 see? And that's it. 759 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,520 There's a check in your spot. It's like, OK, stop, step away 760 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,320 from that. Don't get involved in that. 761 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,320 Don't do that. So that is God's alarm system, 762 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,720 an alarm system just like the Titanic that was supposed to be 763 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:09,360 unsinkable. They sent over and over, turn 764 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,880 around, They sent warnings all the time. 765 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,040 God's alarm system in US. Is there to protect us. 766 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,240 We don't have to be scared about it, but God's going to say and 767 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,960 he's going to lead us because he sees the danger. 768 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,680 We can only see up until a point, but God sees the big 769 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,440 picture and he's like, listen, there's a massive. 770 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:28,640 Hole. There. 771 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,920 And I don't want you falling at all. 772 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,360 So he's going to direct us and he's going to speak to us. 773 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,840 It's like, OK, this deal or this business, it looks amazing on 774 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,360 paper. But the problem is I have got 775 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,000 such an uneasy feeling inside. Got an uneasy feeling about 776 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,560 this. I've got an uneasy feeling about 777 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,640 that. Situation or that that is God's 778 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:55,040 alarm system to protect us from harm OK and so he's. 779 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,040 Guiding us with a still small voice. 780 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,280 And sometimes it's just a simple prompting, like call that 781 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,520 person, go do that, step out in five and don't ignore the 782 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,560 whisper. Don't rush off the whisper. 783 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,800 Don't despise this inner promptics because that one. 784 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,480 One thing can lead to your next step. 785 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:19,920 It can lead to your breakthrough. 786 00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:23,840 I meant because it may seem small but it can lead to 787 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:24,440 something. Great. 788 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,120 So just trust. The still. 789 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:32,160 Small voice and trust is a big thing because it's one thing to 790 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,720 hear. The voice of God. 791 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:39,760 But it's another thing to trust the voice, especially if what 792 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,280 God is saying is the opposite of what's happening in this 793 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,880 situation. Especially if it's the opposite. 794 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,200 Of what's happening in the natural circumstances. 795 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,440 But God is speaking something here and he's saying doing this, 796 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,240 but in the natural looks the opposite. 797 00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,840 So are we going to trust the voice of God? 798 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:01,960 Or look at what's going on in the natural and that's why 799 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,240 Second Corinthians it talks about that we. 800 00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:06,800 Walk by faith, not by what we. See in the natural. 801 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,400 By the situation or the economy or what's going on in the world. 802 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,440 So it says here in second Corinthians 57, it says for we 803 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,320 walk by 5 not by sight. And So what happens is I build 804 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,080 my life based on what God is saying. 805 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,040 I don't build my life on what I see in the national in the 806 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,280 circumstances in the economy. I build my. 807 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,680 Life on what the Word of God says. 808 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,640 And so that's where faith begins. 809 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:44,440 Because five comes by hearing somebody's getting this message. 810 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,440 I love it when you're hungry for the word. 811 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,040 I just love it. It's all coming together. 812 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:57,600 It's Bible, this is 5 that revelation and they all 813 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,800 covenant. Speak, Lord, I'm listen. 814 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,600 It's five. It's, it's, it's I'm, I'm 815 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,240 breaking it down. For you and I'm actually. 816 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:07,200 Bringing it together where it shows that that's how 55 comes 817 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,440 by you. So when you hear the word of 818 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,800 God, so 5. Comes when God speaks. 819 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,720 It's so simple. So 5. 820 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,840 We first we hear it first and then we see it. 821 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:27,760 Are you with me? Somebody You're. 822 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,000 Grabbing hold of it, that that is how 5 comes. 823 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,560 When God speaks, that's Samuel. Speak while not listening. 824 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:40,080 So that is how 5 rises. In our lives OK now let me just 825 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,680 give you another one because five years before he sees. 826 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,880 Let's go back to Elijah. Let me throw this in last time I 827 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,240 was Elijah one kicked first Kings 19 in The Cave. 828 00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:51,280 Now, this time, he's in a drought now. 829 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:56,560 Elijah stood in a drought. No sign of rain, no clouds, no 830 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,280 sign of change or movement or anything. 831 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:04,120 And yes, Elijah, and he says this I hear. 832 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:11,320 The sound of the abundance of rain, Elijah. 833 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,200 Yes, the sound of abundance of rain in a drought. 834 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,320 When he says I hear rain, he's looking abrupt. 835 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,800 I hear faith. I hear the rain, I hear the 836 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,120 sound of the Spirit. I hear the voice of God. 837 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,680 I see drought. I see an economy that's 838 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,240 struggling. I see difficult situations, but 839 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,560 I hear faith. That's how faith comes when God 840 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,080 speaks. And so he says, I hear the sound 841 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,440 of abundance of rain. That's faith. 842 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:49,880 Faith years, the word speak. Lord, I am listening. 843 00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:56,440 That is my testimony. That's what happened in my life. 844 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,000 Many. People asked me nine years ago 845 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:07,280 when we planted the church, how did you step out of a job with 846 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,560 nothing and plant the church? How did you do it? 847 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,400 I said. They asked me that and I 848 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,720 remember my answer. Very simple. 849 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,960 You mean you stepped out a full time appointment with a family, 850 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,880 plantagers with nothing? Faith. 851 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,600 I mean just explain that to me, OK? 852 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,200 God spoke to me. When God spoke to me, faith rose 853 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,040 up in me. Faith came. 854 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,600 So when God said to me, I was in Bristol working on, when God 855 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,960 spoke to me to plant the church, faith rose up. 856 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,880 I have no resources, no money, no connections, no Bible 857 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,520 training, none of that. But God said, plant the church. 858 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,520 So. God, faith rose up. 859 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,200 So it was a step of faith because when God speaks to you, 860 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:07,440 faith comes. Now the situation did not look 861 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:11,720 very favorable, especially to other people. 862 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,360 Some family members, some friends, and I respect them all. 863 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,680 I love them, all of that. But to them, in this economy, it 864 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:24,440 looked like it's impossible to leave a very good job, that 865 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,640 you've getting a very good salary to plant, that you're 866 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,560 some people, some family. Members, and I bless them and I 867 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:31,920 understand this that you did not. 868 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,480 It looked just too big to impossible, too risky for them 869 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,920 to do such a step. Of faith. 870 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,680 And so they did not understand it OK, But if I'd listened to 871 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:50,360 their voices, if I'd listened to their opinions around me, then I 872 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,680 would have missed the voice inside of me, OK. 873 00:50:54,560 --> 00:51:00,080 And so others could not see it. Now I have compassion on them 874 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,280 and I respect those family members and I love them. 875 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:06,320 I and the reason I have compassion on them is because 876 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:15,160 God did not speak to them. Jeez, so I I had compassion for 877 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,480 that family member. They told me you are out of your 878 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,840 blah, blah, blah, blah. Leave a very nice job and and 879 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,880 start and. I had compassion on them because 880 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,600 God did not speak to them. In other words, God did not 881 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,760 speak to them, so they did not have the faith. 882 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,880 That I had God spoke to me, and when God speaks, faith rises. 883 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,800 I had the faith to do it. In that case, maybe that family 884 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,640 member, they had faith because God spoke to them about 885 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,920 something else and they, because God speaks to everybody, 886 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:52,080 different, different colleagues. So God spoke to them and maybe 887 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,040 in their situation, God spoke to them to start the business. 888 00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:58,240 And so they had faith to start a business. 889 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,920 But that is their business and I'm not going to get involved in 890 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,880 their business. So they'll get involved in my 891 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:08,040 business. OK, so you got faith to start 892 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,200 your business. Let me just tell you. 893 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,960 You may not understand. My situation on my business, but 894 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,560 listen, God spoke to me and I have I'm I'm going to obey God. 895 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:21,200 So you just have to have courage to obey what God spoke to you in 896 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,520 your situation. You don't need everybody else to 897 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,360 understand when God speaks to you. 898 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:32,240 You don't need family people's opinions and approvals. 899 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,880 When God spoke to you, you're calling because I'm not going to 900 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,600 stand with the other people before God one day. 901 00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:43,080 I am not accountable to other people. 902 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,080 I am accountable to God. So when God says to me, I spoke 903 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,640 to you, well, when you're in Bristol to start a church, so 904 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,240 now must I say God? But that family member said I 905 00:52:53,240 --> 00:52:57,400 should not start a church. So you don't have to get other 906 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,280 people's approval, other people to understand if when God speaks 907 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,520 to you, when God directs you, you just need the courage. 908 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,840 So just to obey it. Because sometimes God will speak 909 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,920 a word to you that just looks too big. 910 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,120 It looks too risky, it looks too impossible. 911 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,520 That word, that God. Speaks to you. 912 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,160 And some people, they just don't understand it and they don't 913 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,040 celebrate it. But that's OK. 914 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,880 The real question is, will you believe what God spoke to you, 915 00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:25,560 what you heard? Because I heard from God. 916 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,120 That's how we planted it over 19 years ago. 917 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,920 I heard from God that gave us faith. 918 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,080 So when other people, all circumstances say that it's not 919 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,440 impossible, it's just not. It's not possible. 920 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,320 Then what are you going to believe? 921 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,520 Because you may be misunderstood, you may be 922 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:47,080 criticized, and that's you may be talked about talk. 923 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,840 Of the town. But you don't leave someone 924 00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,440 else's doubt. They must. 925 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:59,840 Talk you out of your. Destiny Noah built an ark on dry 926 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,720 ground. People must afford this crazy. 927 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:09,120 Both the boat on dry ground, it's never rained, no rain. 928 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,480 They must have fought. This guy's absolutely crazy, 929 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:13,840 lost his mind. Why are you building it? 930 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,720 What are you building boat? Oh, OK. 931 00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:17,720 Why do you build a boat? Why do you build it right? 932 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,160 What is right? They must have laughed and 933 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,760 mocked him and said, who is this crazy guy building a boat on dry 934 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,120 ground? But Noah heard from God, he had 935 00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:34,720 a word from God, and if no one did not obey that word. 936 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,200 His family would not have been saved. 937 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,200 So if God. Speaks to you start that 938 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,000 business. It's for you, for your family. 939 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,320 You can't spoke to everybody has got a call from God. 940 00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:52,360 Start the business, start the job, plant the church, the 941 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,800 ministry then is the will of God for your life. 942 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,880 We got to obey regardless of other people's opinions. 943 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,160 Because everybody will have an opinion, OK? 944 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,240 And some of you are in that place right now. 945 00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:05,200 God has spoken something to you in your spirit. 946 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:12,640 And maybe the the circumstances or the situation may look the 947 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,960 opposite. But don't let that situation or 948 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,720 people or family or situ talk you out of what God. 949 00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:24,480 Because maybe the situation or in our case the bank account was 950 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:25,520 talking. We didn't like money. 951 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,880 Maybe the bank account's talking. 952 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,480 Maybe your emotions is talking, your feelings is talking, 953 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,880 people's opinions are talking, the families of people are 954 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,080 talking. OK. 955 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,600 But you have to decide, will I believe what the people or the 956 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,680 situation, or will I believe what God says? 957 00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:49,880 Because let me just throw this in when God call Samuel. 958 00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:58,800 Speak Lord, I'm listening what God said to him, and I don't 959 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:00,080 have time. To go all of that, but you can 960 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,680 read it in chapter was a very hard word. 961 00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:07,400 Yeah, OK. I just put it in context there 962 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,400 because it's very easy. God speak. 963 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,800 I want a word from God and. I, I, I was working embraced on 964 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:17,200 my God, speak to me, give my direction, and I was sort of 965 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,720 thinking that was that job. That's where I'm going to 966 00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:23,720 retire. But the word of the Lord, it 967 00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:26,800 will get you out of your comfort zone because that word that came 968 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,120 to me was like a word. Get out of your boat. 969 00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:33,040 And walk on the water. Because we're not playing games. 970 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,880 It's not a joke to just leave a normal job and step out with 971 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,760 nothing. It takes faith. 972 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,200 It's it's it's a hard. It was. 973 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,480 It was a hard So when you say God, speak to me. 974 00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:45,040 Get ready. OK, Brace. 975 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,840 Yourself. And that's why we have to be 976 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,840 like, open. Not with selective hearing. 977 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,000 Regardless of what God says, say yes, Lord. 978 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,920 OK. And so Samuel. 979 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,080 And this is what? I want to throw in here where 980 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,920 the where the calling comes. You don't chase after the 981 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,560 calling, OK? Because when you serve in your 982 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:10,320 season, in your place, you. Listen for God, your calling 983 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,520 will find you. OK. 984 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,120 Samuel didn't chase the calling. OK, he found it by listening. 985 00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,760 That's how Samuel he found it by. 986 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,440 Listening, he was in a place of Yuri. 987 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,160 OK, because in verse 90 says Samuel lay down in his place. 988 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,960 There is power in the place. Power. 989 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,560 In your place, because in your place, when you are in your 990 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:41,640 place, that's where the work. Comes and so I was in my place 991 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,520 in Bristol working with excellence and I've managed over 992 00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:52,920 100 staff working full time job in my place and there is power 993 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,240 in your place whether you're a working at home mom or a family 994 00:57:57,240 --> 00:58:00,240 or whatever job it is there's. Power in your place, because 995 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:05,680 that is where the word comes. He was in his place, Eli, Eli 996 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,400 said to him. Go into your place of urine. 997 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:08,760 That's who He is when you listen. 998 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,080 Some of us are so stressed out trying to run around. 999 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:15,960 What is my purpose? What is my calling? 1000 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,960 What do I have to do? Where do I have to go? 1001 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,600 What now? But God is not trying to hide 1002 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,920 your calling from you. He's trying to get you into a 1003 00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,840 place of hearing. He's trying to get you into a 1004 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,720 place where you listen. That's where God is trying to 1005 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,440 do. He's trying to get you into a 1006 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,600 place, though. Wherever God has placed you, 1007 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,920 that's where He speaks. OK, in that place the word is 1008 00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,400 coming. So stay planted, stay faithful, 1009 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,880 stay listening because your next step is connected to His. 1010 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:50,560 Voice because when God speaks everything changes so there's a 1011 00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:54,360 place, there's a position, there's posture and so I just 1012 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,840 want to end this very quickly and closing there is a posture 1013 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,600 talking about posture, there is a posture and this is I want to. 1014 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,480 Bring this whole thing together. A posture that receives the 1015 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:13,080 word, and that posture received the word because. 1016 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,880 Remember, the word of God is. Received with meekness. 1017 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,800 OK, so this posture is a saddle posture. 1018 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:25,720 That's how we receive the word. There has got to be that posture 1019 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,160 when you receive the word, Sandal said. 1020 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,080 Speak, Lord. I'm listening. 1021 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,480 Yeah, Let's go right back to the beginning. 1022 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:34,920 I want to throw this in because I want to show you this. 1023 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,880 So there it is. For your servant is listening. 1024 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,280 OK? That is a posture of surrender. 1025 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,800 Bye. It's like God, whatever you want 1026 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:52,160 to do with my life. If you want me to stay in 1027 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,440 Bristol, I'll stay in Bristol. If you want me to move to 1028 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:55,600 Bracknell, I'll move to Bracknell. 1029 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,480 Whatever you want to do, If you want to change jobs in my life, 1030 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,720 whatever you want me to do, I'm like, Lord you, you show me your 1031 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,520 SO. It's surrender because a 1032 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,360 prideful heart does not receive the word. 1033 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,760 Pride does the controlling of it's surrender. 1034 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,760 It's your melody. And it's availability, that's 1035 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,920 the posture. That's the because in effect, 1036 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,960 Samuel, that's what what he was saying when he was saying, 1037 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:23,640 listen, he was saying, speak Lord, even though I do not 1038 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,600 understand everything. I don't have to understand 1039 01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,120 anything. I don't have to control 1040 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,560 everything. I don't have to be in control. 1041 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,640 I don't have to see the whole Rd. speak. 1042 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,560 Lord, I am. Ready to hear? 1043 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,120 That's the posture. That's the heart that God is 1044 01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,840 looking for. God is speaking to that heart of 1045 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,520 surrender. Not a perfect heart, a heart of 1046 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:50,280 surrender. Yes. 1047 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,080 A heart that says, speak Lord, and whatever you speak. 1048 01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,080 You've got my yes, not conditions, not if not this or 1049 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:05,240 the bite or the when God says I'm calling you, I'm saying yes, 1050 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,480 Lord, that's a heart of surrender. 1051 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,360 And that's the posture that receives the word of God. 1052 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,840 And so it says here in Hebrews 3:15 today. 1053 01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:23,560 If you will hear his voice. Do not harden your hearts So Not 1054 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,640 someday, not when it's convenient, not when I 1055 01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:32,640 understand everything, but today, and I believe this is a. 1056 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:36,320 Calling moment. This is your Samuel moment. 1057 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,080 God is calling. Names today. 1058 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,400 Today this is the word of the Lord. 1059 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:47,520 Today He's calling His awakening purposes today. 1060 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,080 God is calling his people and sharpening ears again. 1061 01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,600 He's sharpening it and he's raising up a people. 1062 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,720 Does not just know about God. But he knows his voice. 1063 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,280 Amen. So I declare over you. 1064 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:10,000 Ears are opening, hearts are softening, surrendered hearts. 1065 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:11,880 And so the confusion is breaking. 1066 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,160 And the voice of the Good Shepherd. 1067 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:18,480 Will become clear again. You will hear his voice. 1068 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:22,360 You will know his voice. You will follow the Good 1069 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,640 Shepherd. You will follow his voice. 1070 01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:31,880 And so God is giving. You Samuel, ears, ears to hear, 1071 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,880 courage to obey. And faith. 1072 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,280 To move. And so our response today is 1073 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:45,000 simple. Speak Lord, we are listening. 1074 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,480 Amen. Come on, let's host our face. 1075 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,640 Hallelujah. So if God is speaking something 1076 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:57,280 to your heart today, if God is saying something and you picked 1077 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,040 it up and you hear the whisper and you're ready to say, speak, 1078 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,840 Lord, I am listening.
