HEARING GOD'S VOICE (6)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Hearing God's Voice 

a) The first thing we can count on from the Holy Spirit is that He will be with us forever.  

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” (John 14:16-17)

b) So the Holy Spirit, will be with us forever, in this life, through death, and in the next life, He is our unity with God.

c) We also receive wisdom, and understanding from the Holy Spirit. We receive counsel, which are words from God, and power, which is faith that comes through hearing God’s words. We also receive the knowledge of God, which causes us to have the fear of God. The more we know God the more that we will stand is awe of Him. Notice that we are to delight in the fear of God, the fear of God is like a fence that keeps us safe and close to God, and it helps us to keep our hearts clean and holy before God. The fear of God helps us to experience the joy of a clean heart before God.

d) So seven things that we receive from the Holy Spirit are: 

i) Eternal companionship and unity with God;

ii) God’s wisdom;

iii) God’s understanding;

iv) God’s counsel, which is His communication and words;

v) God’s power, which is faith that we receive through hearing God’s words;

vi) The intimate knowledge of God; and

vii) The fear of God which perfects holiness in us.

The End ...
