-Volume+
To find God's will just follow God's voice.
The more we obey what we know, God turns the volume up.
The more we disobey what He's already said, God turns the volume down.
God's BIG plan is discovered through small steps of obedience.
It takes two things to impact the world:
1. Obedient people
2. The Holy Spirit
God's favorite weapon is people.
The 3 voices of God:
1. The Bible - Provides God's principles and perspective!
- 2 Timothy 3:15-17 "and how from infancy you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teachinh, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thotoughly equipped for every good work."
-Focus on the Obvious, not on the obscure.
- Let's stop talking and start applying!!!
2. The Holy Spirit - Provides insight and understanding.
-Changes us from the inside out.
-Romans 8:9-11 "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit of God who lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you. "
3. Community - Together we see things we'd otherwise miss.
- Isolation is spiritual arrogance
-My job isn't to weigh it, my job is to say it.
-NEVER say "God told me..." Because what if you're wrong.
-Scripture Trumps, Go with your gut.
-Proverbs 13:10 "...Wisdom is found in those who take advice."
When it comes to God's volume, in order to turn it up, we need to walk it out.
