WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND 00:34 ENJOY THIS EDITION OF AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS. 00:42 >>HELLO CLASS. THANKS FOR COMING BACK. 00:46 WE'RE GOING TO TALK AGAIN ABOUT OUR STUDY DEALING WITH THE 00:51 SCIENCE OF SALVATION. WE'RE CALLING THIS 'FORMULA FOR 00:54 FAITH' AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUST THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS 00:58 AND STEPS IN BEING A CHRISTIAN AND WE'VE BEEN USING THE 01:03 CONVERSION EXPERIENCE OF ISAIAH AS AN OUTLINE OR SOMETHING OF A 01:07 TEMPLATE TO BETTER DISCOVER WHAT ARE THOSE STEPS OF SALVATION AND 01:11 WE FOUND OUT - WHAT'S THE FIRST STEP? WE SEE GOD AND THEN, 01:16 BY CONTRAST, STEP 2 IS? WE SEE OURSELVES. 01:21 AND THEN, AFTER THAT THERE'S REPENTANCE, THERE'S CONFESSION, 01:26 THERE'S FAITH AND BELIEVING AND THEN WE'RE GOING ON TO THE LAST 01:31 COUPLE OF STEPS WHICH ARE - TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT 01:34 HEARING GOD AND THEN OUR FINAL STEP WILL BE GOING FOR GOD. 01:38 NOW, I'VE GOT TO BE VERY CLEAR HERE. 01:41 DOES GOD HEAR EVERY PRAYER THAT'S EVER PRAYED? 01:46 LET ME RESTATE THAT: DOES GOD KNOW EVERYTHING? 01:48 SO IS THERE ANYTHING THAT HE MISSES? 01:51 YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I GO OUT TO EAT WITH PEOPLE NOW AND AS YOU 01:53 GET A LITTLE OLDER, PART OF YOUR HEARING STARTS TO GO AND IT 01:59 BEGINS WITH HEARING PEOPLE'S VOICES WHEN THERE'S BACKGROUND 02:01 NOISE. AND I HAVE TO KEEP SAYING, 'WHAT? 02:04 WHAT WAS THAT?' BECAUSE WITH THIS BACKGROUND 02:05 NOISE IT'S HARD TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE. 02:08 AND GOD HEARS EVERY PRAYER, BUT THERE'S A CERTAIN WAY THAT GOD 02:15 DOES NOT HEAR AND WE DON'T HEAR HIM IF THERE'S A LOT OF 02:19 BACKGROUND NOISE. HE'LL ALWAYS HEAR EVERY PRAYER 02:21 FOR REPENTANCE - GOD HEARS THAT PRAYER. 02:24 BUT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS IS: 'ARE WE HEARING GOD SPEAK TO US? 02:29 DO WE HEAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD?' 02:31 NOW GOD SPEAKS TO US SEVERAL WAYS. 02:35 WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY THAT GOD SPEAKS TO US? 02:39 THROUGH HIS WORD. IT'S THE MOST DEPENDABLE. 02:42 IT'S - EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE THE VOICE OF GOD 02:45 MUST BE MEASURED BY WHAT WE KNOW TO BE THE VOICE OF GOD. 02:47 THE ULTIMATE VOICE OF GOD IS WHEN HE GAVE THE TEN 02:50 COMMANDMENTS AND HE SPOKE IT WITH HIS OWN VOICE IN THE 02:53 HEARING OF A NATION. BUT GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS WORD. 02:57 GOD MAY SPEAK TO US THROUGH THE IMPRESSIONS OF THE SPIRIT, BUT 03:01 THAT MUST ALWAYS LINE UP WITH HIS WORD. 03:04 AND SOMETIMES THERE'S THINGS THAT WE THINK ARE THE 03:06 IMPRESSIONS OF THE SPIRIT - WE CAN CONFUSE OUR OWN FEELINGS AND 03:09 ALL KINDS OF THINGS FOR THE IMPRESSIONS OF THE SPIRIT. 03:11 GOD SPEAKS TO US THROUGH CHRISTIAN COUNSEL. 03:14 THE BIBLE SAYS, 'IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSEL THERE IS 03:17 SAFETY. GOD SPEAKS TO US, SOMETIMES, 03:20 THROUGH NATURE AND THE THINGS THAT HE'S MADE. 03:22 IT SAYS, 'THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD.' SO YOU CAN 03:25 SEE SOMETHING ABOUT GOD THROUGH THE THINGS THAT HE'S MADE. 03:28 YOU KNOW JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU'VE SEEN ME, YOU'VE SEEN THE 03:30 FATHER.' AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE GOD BY WHAT HE MADE, EVEN 03:33 THOUGH THINGS HAVE BEEN TAINTED BY SIN. 03:36 AND WE CAN SEE GOD THROUGH PROVIDENCE. 03:40 HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AND YOU SAY, 'WOW, 03:43 THAT WAS A GOD THING.' HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PRAYER ANSWERED OR A 03:46 MIRACLE THAT HAPPENED AND YOU SAY, 'WOW, THAT HAD TO BE THE 03:48 LORD.' AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF EXAMPLES WE CAN ALL 03:52 THINK OF - OF STORIES WE COULD SAY, 'GOD SPOKE TO ME THROUGH 03:56 CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT, IN REALITY, MOST OF THE 04:01 TIME, MOST OF THE WORLD IS NOT LISTENING TO GOD. 04:03 THEY DON'T HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD. 04:05 TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD WE REALLY NEED TO BE EMPTIED AND 04:10 SURRENDERED. ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE THINGS THE 04:12 DEVIL IS DOING TO KEEP PEOPLE IN BONDAGE IS HE'S JUST DISTRACTING 04:17 THEM. AND IT'S NOT ALWAYS SIN. 04:19 YOU CAN BE DISTRACTED WITH TOO MANY GOOD THINGS. 04:21 THERE CAN BE A LOT OF BACKGROUND NOISE. 04:24 THERE WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL PHONE COMMERCIAL A FEW YEARS AGO 04:27 - SOME OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS - ONE WAS 04:31 'GOT MILK?' HOW MANY HERE HAVE NOT HEARD OF 04:34 THE 'GOT MILK?' CAMPAIGN? 04:35 AND THEN THERE'S A LOT OF SPIN OFFS OF THAT - THEY SAY, YOU 04:38 KNOW, DO YOU 'GOT LOVE?' DO YOU 'GOT THIS?' 04:39 DO YOU 'GOT THAT?' I SAW A 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK THAT 04:42 SAID, 'GOD MUD?' AND SO IT JUST SAYS EVERYTHING. 04:46 BUT ONE OF THE OTHER ONES THAT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN. 04:49 OH, I JUST THOUGHT OF ANOTHER ONE. 04:51 ANY OF YOU OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER 'WHERE'S THE BEEF?' 04:55 THAT CAMPAIGN - LITTLE OLD LADY? 04:58 ONE OF THE OTHER ONES WAS THE VERIZON PHONE COMMERCIAL 05:02 'CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?' CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? 05:06 SO IT'S REAL IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE'RE LISTENING TO THE 05:11 VOICE OF THE LORD AND SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO JUST 'BE STILL AND 05:14 KNOW THAT I AM GOD.' IT SAYS HERE IN REVELATION CHAPTER 3, 05:20 VERSE 22, ONE OF THE - LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE - ONE OF THE 05:24 IMPORTANT MESSAGES, "HE THAT HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE 05:29 SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES." 05:30 NOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE CHURCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A 05:32 BUILDING OR ARE WE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE? 05:35 IT'S PEOPLE, RIGHT? JESUS IS APPEALING, HE'S SAYING 05:38 'HE THAT HAS AN EAR'. WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THAT? 05:42 SOME PEOPLE AREN'T REALLY LISTENING FOR THE VOICE OF GOD. 05:47 DO YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ACTUALLY LEARN, IF YOU'VE GOT HALF OF AN 05:50 EAR FOR MUSIC, YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR TONE. 05:55 YOU CAN GET WHERE YOU CAN TUNE A GUITAR AND YOU CAN TUNE A PIANO, 05:59 BUT IT TAKES A LITTLE TRAINING TO TUNE YOUR EAR. 06:03 YOU CAN TUNE YOUR SPIRITUAL EARS. 06:05 HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE - ABRAHAM HEARS 06:09 THIS VOICE AND IT SAYS, 'ABRAHAM, TAKE YOUR SON, YOUR 06:12 ONLY SON WHO YOU LOVE, BRING HIM TO THE MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH AND 06:15 OFFER HIM THERE AS A BURNT OFFERING UNTO ME.' AND THE BIBLE 06:18 SAYS, 'THOU SHALT NOT KILL AND THAT SHOULD PROBABLY INCLUDE 06:20 YOUR CHILDREN. SO HOW DID ABRAHAM KNOW THAT WAS 06:25 THE VOICE OF GOD? HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED THAT? 06:30 HE HAD TUNED HIS EAR TO LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF HIS 06:35 HEAVENLY FATHER FOR YEARS. AND HE WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY 06:38 DISCERN 'IS THIS SOME STRANGE BACKGROUND NOISE THAT THE 06:42 DEVIL'S GIVING ME OR IS THIS THE VOICE OF GOD?' 06:46 THERE WAS A LITTLE CHILD THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DOCTOR AND 06:48 THEY SAID, 'WE THINK OUR CHILD HAS LOST HIS HEARING.' JUST, YOU 06:53 KNOW, A LITTLE TWO-YEAR-OLD. AND THE DOCTOR, ON EXAMINATION, 06:57 FOUND THAT, EVIDENTLY, ONCE AT DINNER THE CHILD HAD TAKEN 06:59 BLACK-EYED PEAS AND STUFFED THEM IN HIS EARS. 07:02 NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH HIS HEARING - HE'D JUST STUCK SOME 07:04 PEAS IN HIS EARS AND SOME OF US HAVE DONE THAT. 07:09 WE SORT OF PLUG OUR EARS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR WHAT GOD'S 07:13 GOING TO SAY BECAUSE WE'RE AFRAID OF CONVICTION. 07:15 NOW, YOU MIGHT NOT WALK AROUND WITH YOUR FINGERS IN YOUR EARS, 07:20 BUT SOMETIMES WE DON'T STUDY THE WORD AS WE SHOULD BECAUSE 07:24 WE FIND IT CONVICTING. WE DON'T PRAY AS WE SHOULD OR 07:27 CONFESS OUR SINS AS WE SHOULD BECAUSE WE FIND IT CONVICTING. 07:30 AND GOD WILL NOT FORCE US. 07:33 YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES HE MIGHT MAKE A HORSEFLY LAND ON YOUR 07:35 NOSE TO TRY AND GET YOUR ATTENTION. 07:37 OR HE MIGHT SEND A STORM LIKE HE DID WITH JONAH, BUT MOST OF THE 07:41 TIME GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOU IN A STILL, SMALL VOICE AND YOU NEED 07:43 TO BE WILLING TO LISTEN - WILLING TO HEAR. 07:47 IT SAYS HERE, 'WHY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND MY SPEECH? 07:50 BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO LISTEN TO MY WORD.' 07:54 SOMETIMES IT MEANS WE NEED TO HAVE A HEART THATS OPEN AND 07:57 REALLY WANT TO HEAR WHAT GOD SAYS. 08:00 YOU KNOW, IF YOU SEARCH FOR HIM, THE BIBLE SAYS YOU'LL FIND HIM. 08:03 BUT YOU'VE GOT TO SEARCH WITH ALL YOUR HEART. 08:04 YOU NEED TO BE WILLING TO HEAR. 08:06 NOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE WILLING TO HEAR? 08:08 IT DOESN'T MEAN JUST BE IN THE ROOM WHEN HE'S TALKING, IT MEANS 08:10 WHEN GOD SAYS 'HEAR MY VOICE' - HEARING, IS IT JUST AUDITORY 08:15 WITH GOD OR IS IT BEING WILLING TO DO WHAT YOU'RE HEARING? 08:19 A PARENT SAYS TO THEIR CHILD, 'GET OUT OF THE STREET, A CAR'S 08:23 COMING.' THE CHILD SAYS, 'I HEAR YOU' BUT THEY STAY THERE, ARE 08:26 THEY REALLY HEARING THEM? NOW, WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 08:31 THE SUBJECT OF LISTENING FOR THE VOICE OF GOD, WHY DON'T WE PAUSE 08:37 AND TAKE A LITTLE DETOUR? HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED ABOUT 08:41 WHAT THE WILL OF GOD IS FOR YOUR LIFE? 08:43 LET'S ASSUME THAT YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THE STEPS OF ISAIAH. 08:47 YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THE STEPS OF SALVATION. 08:49 YOU UNDERSTAND THE BASICS AND THE FORMULA FOR FAITH, YOU'VE 08:52 HEARD - YOU'VE SEEN GOD, YOU'VE SEEN YOURSELF, YOU'VE REPENTED, 08:56 YOU'VE CONFESSED, YOU'VE RECEIVED THE CLEANSING, YOU'RE 08:59 HEARING GOD, YOU'RE WILLING TO GO FOR GOD, AND THEN YOU SAY, 09:02 'GO WHERE? LORD, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR MY LIFE? 09:07 I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR WILL IS FOR ME.' WELL, THERE ARE A 09:11 NUMBER OF WAYS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE WILL OF GOD. 09:14 LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS TO UNDERSTAND 09:20 'WHAT IS IT THAT GOD WANTS ME TO DO?' 09:23 FIRST OF ALL, DO YOU FLIP A COIN? 09:26 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT SOMETIMES THERE'S A CASE WHERE 09:30 YOU CAST A FLEECE BEFORE THE LORD, LIKE GIDEON. 09:34 YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE TIMES YOU PRAY FOR PROVIDENCE - I 09:37 DON'T RECOMMEND YOU CAST LOTS AND FLIP A COIN. 09:40 I'VE HEARD STORIES WHERE PEOPLE WERE JUST PRAYING AND PRAYING 09:42 ABOUT DECISIONS - THEY OPEN THEIR BIBLE AND THE FIRST VERSE 09:44 THEIR EYES FELL UPON IT GUIDED THEM IN WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED 09:47 TO DO. GOD CAN USE THESE METHODS - I DON'T RECOMMEND IT. 09:51 I THINK THAT'S SORT OF LIKE A LAST RESORT. 09:55 YES, I KNOW THAT THE APOSTLES SOMETIMES CAST LOTS, BUT THEY 09:58 DID IT UNDER THE INSPIRATION OF THE SPIRIT. 10:02 YOU MIGHT SAY, 'LORD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?' 10:04 AND YOU COULD FLIP OPEN YOUR BIBLE AND IT'LL TELL YOU, LIKE 10:06 JUDAS, TO GO HANG YOURSELF. AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT GOD'S 10:10 PLAN. SO BE VERY CAREFUL. THAT REMINDS ME OF A LADY THAT 10:14 WAS - SHE USED TO SELL THREAD IN SCOTLAND. 10:17 WHENEVER SHE CAME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD - THEY HAD NO SIGNS 10:19 BACK THEN - SHE WOULD TAKE A STICK AND SHE'D THROW IT IN THE 10:23 AIR AND IT WOULD LAND AND WHATEVER DIRECTION THE STICK 10:26 POINTED SHE WOULD GO. AND ONE MAN OBSERVED FROM HIS 10:29 YARD ONE DAY - SHE WAS AT A FORK IN THE ROAD - SHE KEPT THROWING 10:31 THE STICK IN THE AIR AND IT WOULD LAND AND SHE'D PICK IT UP 10:33 AND SHE'D THROW IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD LAND AND HE SAID, 10:35 'MA'AM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' SHE SAID, 'WELL, I THROW THIS 10:37 STICK IN THE AIR AND WHICHEVER WAY IT LANDS IT TELLS ME WHICH 10:42 WAY TO GO AND I HAD TO KEEP THROWING IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE 10:46 IT POINTED DOWN THE ROAD I WANTED TO GO DOWN BECAUSE THAT 10:48 OTHER ROAD LOOKS PRETTY ROUGH.' SO THAT'S KIND OF LIKE PEOPLE 10:52 SAY, 'FLIP A COIN' BUT WHAT IF IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT YOU WANT? 10:55 'FLIP IT AGAIN.' YOU KNOW, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN 10:59 YOU THROW OUT THOSE FLEECES LIKE GIDEON. 11:02 SO THAT'S NOT THE BEST WAY TO FIND GOD'S WILL. 11:06 SOMETIMES GOD MIGHT SPEAK THROUGH DREAMS AND VISIONS. 11:09 THAT DOES HAPPEN, BUT IT'S EASY TO CONFUSE WHAT VISIONS AND 11:13 DREAMS ARE FROM GOD AND WHAT VISIONS AND DREAMS ARE FROM 11:16 EATING TOO MUCH TOO LATE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? 11:19 YOU CAN HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE DREAMS AND 11:22 VISIONS AND SO THAT'S NOT THE SAFEST METHOD EITHER. 11:27 I'M GOING TO BEGIN WITH WHAT I THINK IS THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY 11:32 WAY TO BE ABLE TO KNOW AND TO HEAR THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR 11:36 LIFE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? 11:38 BE FULLY SURRENDERED AND WILLING TO DO WHATEVER HE SAYS. 11:43 IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY SURRENDERED AND SAY, 'LORD, I 11:46 AM WILLING TO DO YOUR WILL.' AND GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART AND YOU 11:50 SAY, 'SPEAK LORD, YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING. 11:53 WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO I WILL DO IT.' 11:55 AND YOU REALLY MEAN THAT. AND IN YOUR HEART, YOU'RE 11:58 SAYING, 'I'M WILLING TO GO WHEREVER YOU WANT ME TO GO AND 12:01 DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO.' IF THAT'S REALLY YOUR ATTITUDE 12:04 THEN GOD BECOMES RESPONSIBLE TO REVEAL HIS WILL TO YOU. 12:10 SO NUMBER 1 IS HAVING A WILLING HEART TO DO GOD'S WILL. 12:14 NUMBER 2 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ALREADY - IS CONSULT THE WORD OF 12:17 GOD. NOW DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR 12:19 SITUATION IS, THERE'S DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE WORD YOU MIGHT GO. 12:24 FOR INSTANCE, BASIC WILL OF GOD IS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 12:29 THE BIBLE TELLS US IN PSALM 40, 'YEA, I LOVE TO DO YOUR WILL. 12:34 YOUR LAW IS IN MY HEART.' SO THE LAW OF GOD IS THE BEST 12:38 EXPRESSION OR SIMPLEST EXPRESSION OF THE WILL OF GOD. 12:41 IT'S HIS WILL THAT YOU DO NOT LIE, THAT YOU DO NOT KILL - 12:46 BASICALLY, YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOU LOVE THE LORD WITH 12:48 ALL YOUR HEART. AND SO, THE WORD OF GOD IS GOING 12:51 TO GIVE YOU THE BEST GUIDANCE. PSALM 119, VERSE 105, "YOUR WORD 12:55 IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH." 12:58 AND PROVERBS 14:12, "THERE IS A WAY WHICH SEEMS RIGHT TO A MAN, 13:03 BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH." 13:05 SO GOING BY YOUR FEELINGS IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAFEST THING. 13:09 OR GOING BY POPULAR OPINION - NOT THE SAFEST THING. 13:15 GOD REVEALS HIS WILL TO THOSE THAT ARE FAITHFUL SO WE WANT TO 13:20 WALK IN THE LIGHT WHILE HE'S IN THE LIGHT. JOHN 12, VERSE 35 - 13:24 JESUS SAID, "A LITTLE WHILE LONGER THE LIGHT IS WITH YOU. 13:26 WALK WHILE YOU HAVE THE LIGHT, LEST DARKNESS OVERTAKE YOU;" 13:30 IN OTHER WORDS, BE FAITHFUL IN FOLLOWING WHAT YOU DO KNOW. 13:35 SOME PEOPLE WILL BE SAYING, 'LORD, HOW COME YOU'RE NOT 13:37 SPEAKING TO ME ANYMORE? HOW COME I DON'T HEAR YOUR VOICE 13:39 ANYMORE? YOU KNOW, THE VOLUME CAN GO DOWN 13:43 IF WE'RE NOT LISTENING TO WHAT HE IS SAYING. 13:45 THE BIBLE SAYS THE LORD CALLS TO US AND WE HEAR HIM AND THERE'S 13:49 USUALLY GREAT CONVICTION BUT IF WE'RE NOT RESPONDING TO THAT 13:52 CALL, THE NEXT TIME HE CALLS WE'VE GOT LIKE A CALLOUS ON OUR 13:56 EAR AND IT GETS FAINTER AND IT GETS FAINTER OVER TIME. 14:00 IF YOU WANT THE VOLUME TO GO UP. IF YOU'RE WILLING TO LISTEN TO 14:03 WHAT GOD DOES SAY, HE'LL GIVE YOU MORE. 14:07 ANOTHER ONE IS OBTAIN CHRISTIAN COUNSEL. 14:10 PROVERBS 11:14, "WHERE THERE IS NO COUNSEL, THE PEOPLE FALL, BUT 14:14 IN THE MULTITUDE OF COUNSELORS THERE IS SAFETY." 14:19 AND THEN I CAN ALSO READ 1 CORINTHIANS 15:33, "DO NOT BE 14:22 DECEIVED: 'EVIL COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD HABITS.'" GODLY FRIENDS CAN 14:27 HELP YOU TAKE AN INVENTORY OF YOUR LIFE. 14:29 YOU HAVE GODLY FRIENDS THAT KNOW YOU, THEY'LL ALSO BETTER 14:33 UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS ARE AND WHAT THEY AREN'T. 14:37 AND IF YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS, 'YOU KNOW, I'M PRAYING ABOUT - 14:40 I'M THINKING OF QUITTING MY JOB AND GOING ON THE ROAD AND 14:42 BEGINNING A MUSIC MINISTRY.' AND YOUR FRIENDS MIGHT SAY, 14:47 'BROTHER/SISTER, YOU CAN'T SING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.' 14:51 'WELL, I SING ALL THE TIME. I THOUGHT I HAD A GREAT VOICE.' 14:54 YOU MIGHT - THAT'S, AGAIN, A ROUGH ILLUSTRATION, BUT 14:57 SOMETIMES YOUR FRIENDS WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU AND THEY'LL SAY, 15:00 'DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB.' SO CONSULT YOUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS 15:05 AND BE WILLING TO LISTEN AND ASK THEM TO BE HONEST WITH YOU AND 15:08 SAY, 'YOU KNOW, I'M PRAYING ABOUT GOD'S WILL FOR MY LIFE. 15:10 I'VE GOT THESE TWO OPPORTUNITIES' - AND SOMETIMES 15:12 YOU NEED TO JUST GET, LIKE I SAID, GODLY COUNSEL IS VERY 15:17 IMPORTANT IN UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD. 15:20 SOME OTHER THINGS: OBSERVE PROVIDENCE. 15:25 LOOK FOR THINGS WHERE GOD MIGHT BE GUIDING YOU THROUGH 15:28 CIRCUMSTANCES. IN THE BIBLE, FOR INSTANCE, RUTH 15:32 AND NAOMI COME BACK DESTITUTE FROM THE LAND OF MOAB. 15:35 THEY HAVE NOTHING AND THEY ARE JUST PROBABLY LIVING IN A HOVEL. 15:39 THEY'VE LOST THEIR LAND. THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING. 15:41 IT'S HARVEST TIME AND SO THEY'RE PRAYING ABOUT, 15:43 'LORD, NOW WHAT DO WE DO? 15:44 WE'RE BACK IN THE PROMISED LAND BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO. 15:46 WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN. HOW DO WE REBUILD OUR LIVES? 15:50 TWO WIDOWS, NO CHILDREN, NO SPOUSE.' AND ISN'T IT 15:55 INTERESTING THAT RUTH GOES OUT TO GLEAN THE FIELDS AND SHE 15:59 COMES HOME AND SAYS, 'I GLEANED IN THE FIELD OF A GUY NAMED BOAZ 16:02 TODAY.' AND NAOMI SAYS, 'YOU'RE KIDDING! 16:05 OF ALL THE PLACES YOU COULD HAVE BEEN, HE'S THE ONE WHO HAS THE 16:09 ABILITY TO REDEEM US.' AND, OF COURSE, IT ENDS UP THEY FALL IN 16:13 LOVE AND GET MARRIED AND JESUS COMES THROUGH THE LINE OF RUTH. 16:16 WAS IT AN ACCIDENT THAT SHE WANDERED INTO THE FIELD OF BOAZ 16:19 THAT DAY TO GLEAN? SO THEY SAW THAT AS 16:23 PROVIDENTIAL. AND YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF EXAMPLES 16:25 IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOD PROVIDENTIALLY ARRANGES THINGS. 16:29 ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT GOD OFTEN WANTS FROM YOU WHEN 16:32 YOU'RE LISTENING TO HIS VOICE AND WANTING TO KNOW HIS WILL: 16:36 PATIENCE, PATIENCE. WAIT ON THE LORD. 16:41 HE MAY NOT ALWAYS TELL YOU RIGHT AWAY. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED, 16:44 IN THE BIBLE, SOMETIMES THE LORD WAITS TIL THE LAST MINUTE BEFORE 16:48 HE TELLS YOU EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO? 16:51 AND I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I'M PREACHING A SERMON. 16:54 I'M PRAYING ABOUT WHAT TO SAY AND I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS, BUT 16:57 I'M SOMETIMES PRAYING ABOUT WHAT TO SAY WITHIN MINUTES OF WALKING 17:00 TO THE PULPIT AND I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT TO SAY. 17:04 AND IT DOESN'T MEAN I'VE NOT BEEN STUDYING - I STUDY ALL THE 17:07 TIME, BUT YOU LOOK AT A GROUP, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY NEED, 17:10 GOD PUTS SOMETHING ON YOUR HEART AND YOU JUST - OR AT THE LAST 17:14 MINUTE GOD PUTS SOMETHING ELSE ON YOUR HEART. 17:16 YOU HAVE YOUR NOTES AND YOU HAVE TO THROW YOUR NOTES OUT BECAUSE 17:19 GOD IS IMPRESSING YOU WITH SOMETHING ELSE. 17:21 SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AT THE LAST MINUTE. 17:24 SO PRAY, WAIT, AND BE OPEN TO GOD'S PROVIDENCE. 17:30 HE CAN ARRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES. HE MIGHT BRING YOU RIGHT UP TO 17:34 THE RED SEA BEFORE HE SHOWS YOU EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO. 17:37 SOMETIMES HE'LL ONLY SHOW YOU ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME BECAUSE 17:40 YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE WHOLE THING. AND YOU SAY, 17:42 'LORD, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO FIVE YEARS FROM NOW? 17:44 I WANT TO HAVE A LIFE PLAN.' AND GOD IS SAYING, 'WELL, IT'S GOOD 17:48 TO HAVE A PLAN BUT BE OPEN TO CHANGES. 17:52 BE WILLING TO LAY YOUR PLANS AT HIS FEET. LOOK FOR PROVIDENCE. 17:56 I ALREADY MENTIONED THIS: PRAY ABOUT GOD'S WILL. 18:00 IT SEEMS OBVIOUS, BUT 1 JOHN 5:14, "NOW THIS IS THE 18:03 CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE IN HIM, THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING 18:07 ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US. 18:10 AND IF WE KNOW THAT HE HEARS US, WHATEVER WE ASK, WE KNOW THAT WE 18:14 HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE HAVE ASKED OF HIM." 18:16 I CAN READ ALSO JOHN 15:15, "I NO LONGER CALL YOU SERVANTS, 18:21 BECAUSE A SERVANT DOES NOT KNOW HIS MASTER'S BUSINESS. 18:23 INSTEAD, I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS, FOR EVERYTHING THAT I 18:26 LEARNED FROM MY FATHER I HAVE MADE KNOWN TO YOU." 18:30 YOU WANT TO KNOW THE FATHER'S WILL? 18:31 WE'LL FIND IT IN THE WORD BUT WE NEED TO PRAY AND ASK. 18:36 AND DID GOD - DOES GOD TELL HIS FRIENDS WHAT HIS WILL IS? 18:41 I THINK IT WAS INTERESTING THAT GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM, 'SHALL I 18:46 HIDE FROM MY FRIENDS WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO TO SODOM AND 18:48 GOMORRAH?' AND HE TOLD HIM - 18:51 HE TOLD HIM SO HE COULD PRAY ABOUT IT. 18:52 GOD SAID TO ELIJAH, 'LOOK AT AHAB, HOW HE HUMBLES HIMSELF. 18:56 YOU KNOW, I TOLD YOU TO PROPHESY AGAINST HIM BUT SINCE HE'S 18:58 HUMBLING HIMSELF I'M NOT GOING TO BRING THIS DISASTER IN HIS 19:01 LIFE.' HE DIDN'T NEED TO SHARE THAT WITH ELIJAH, BUT BECAUSE 19:05 THEY'RE FRIENDS, HE TALKED TO HIM. 19:07 GUIDED BY THE SPIRIT. YOU MIGHT WONDER, WHY DID YOU 19:10 SAVE THIS TOWARDS THE END OF THE LIST? 19:13 IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT ISN'T IMPORTANT, IT'S BECAUSE IT 19:16 IS THE THING THAT IS OFTEN THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD. 19:20 I QUOTED THIS IN ISAIAH 30, VERSE 21, 19:23 "YOUR EARS SHALL HEAR A WORD BEHIND YOU, SAYING, 19:25 'THIS IS THE WAY, WALK IN IT,' WHENEVER YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT 19:29 HAND OR WHENEVER YOU TURN TO THE LEFT." 19:30 YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER READING ONCE WHEN SOME OF THE ANCIENT 19:35 ARABS WERE CROSSING THESE VAST EXPANSES OUT IN THE DESERT THAT 19:41 THEY COULD GET LOST AND THE SAND STORM WOULD BLOCK THE HORIZON 19:44 AND BLOCK THE SUN AND THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS EAST OR 19:46 WEST AND THEY HAD TO KEEP MOVING AND THEY WOULD KEEP A HOMING 19:51 PIGEON WITH THEM AND - WITH A LONG PIECE OF THREAD - AND 19:57 THEY'D RELEASE THIS PIGEON AND IT WOULD CIRCLE A LITTLE BIT, 19:59 AND JUST LIKE A COMPASS NEEDLE IT WOULD THEN START TUGGING ON 20:03 THE DIRECTION TOWARDS HOME. AND SOMETIMES YOU JUST FEEL THIS 20:08 TUGGING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WHEN YOU START GOING IN THE 20:14 WRONG DIRECTION YOU DON'T FEEL PEACE. 20:16 SO YOU'LL SEE THESE DOORS AND YOU START - YOU SAY, 20:19 'I'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION, LORD. 20:20 I CAN'T STAND HER AND DO NOTHING FOREVER.' IT'S LIKE ELIJAH SAID, 20:24 'HOW LONG DO YOU HALT BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS?' 20:25 AT SOME POINT, MAKE UP YOUR MIND. 20:27 AND YOU'LL FIND, IF YOU START WALKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, 20:29 YOU LOSE PEACE. THERE'S A FEAR. YOU JUST - IT DOESN'T FEEL 20:32 RIGHT, FOR THE LACK OF ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING IT. 20:34 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THE BIBLE HAS TO BE YOUR GUIDE 20:37 BUT SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT - THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES SPEAK TO YOU. 20:41 JOHN SAID THE SPIRIT TEACHES YOU. 20:43 AND THEN YOU GO THIS DIRECTION AND YOU SAY, 20:45 'AH, I JUST FEEL PEACE - THAT THIS IS WHAT GOD'S 20:48 TELLING ME TO DO.' SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE THAT AS YOU 20:50 MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, THE DOORS CONTINUE TO OPEN. 20:53 AND YOU'RE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION - DOORS SEEM TO CLOSE. 20:58 AND SO SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOT TO START MOVING AND THEN YOU'LL 21:01 MAKE A CORRECTION AND SAY, 'OH NO, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.' AND YOU 21:03 START GOING LIKE THIS. YOU EVER PLAY MARCO POLO? 21:07 YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? IN THE SWIMMING POOL OR 21:08 SOMETHING LIKE THAT? AND YOU'VE GOT TO GET 21:10 BLINDFOLDED AND THEN YOU CALL - YOU SAY, 'MARCO!' 21:14 AND WHAT DO THEY SAY? 'POLO' - RIGHT. 21:16 AND SO YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE SO YOU COULD TAG THEM IN 21:18 THE POOL. WHAT ARE YOU USING? ECHOLOCATION. 21:21 YOU'RE JUST USING IT - AND YOU JUST SAY IT AGAIN - SAY IT AGAIN 21:24 - YOU KNOW? AND YOU'RE GOING LIKE THIS. 21:25 SOMETIMES BEING A CHRISTIAN'S KIND OF LIKE SAYING, 'LORD, 21:27 SPEAK. SPEAK. IT'S GETTING LOUDER. IT'S GETTING LOUDER. 21:30 OH, GETTING COLD. GETTING COLD.' AND SO I DON'T WANT TO 21:33 MAKE IT SOUND SUPERSTITIOUS, LIKE YOU'RE WITCHING FOR WATER 21:37 OR SOMETHING BUT, QUITE FRANKLY, SOMETIMES YOU'VE JUST GOT TO 21:40 LISTEN FOR THE SPIRIT'S VOICE TO GUIDE YOU AND YOU'LL SEE THAT 21:43 THERE'S A PEACE AND THAT COMES FROM BEING IN THE HABIT OF 21:47 LISTENING TO GOD ALL THE TIME. AFTER YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING, 21:52 DO A LITTLE ACCOUNTING: TALLY THE EVIDENCE. 21:56 TAKE ALL THOSE THINGS THAT I JUST MENTIONED - THOSE CRITERIA 21:59 - AND SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, THE COUNSELORS ARE SAYING THIS, BUT 22:01 THE PROVIDENCE IS SAYING THIS.' AND YOU ADD IT ALL UP AND YOU 22:04 LOOK AT IT AND SOMETIMES YOU CAN JUST DO A LITTLE - AND SAY, 'YOU 22:07 KNOW, IT SEEMS LIKE THE MAJORITY OF THE EVIDENCE OF THE 22:10 INDICATORS TO KNOW GOD'S WILL ARE POINTING THIS DIRECTION.' 22:14 WHILE ONE OR TWO MIGHT BE POINTING THE WRONG, BUT I'M 22:16 GIVING LIKE 12 OR 14 DIFFERENT CRITERIA. 22:18 AND I SAVED THIS FOR LAST: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? 22:23 NOW, YOU MIGHT SAY, 'WELL, I WANT TO SIN.' NO, I'M NOT 22:25 TALKING ABOUT THAT. I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE CONVERTED. 22:28 WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN IT COMES - GOD WILL PUT A DESIRE ON 22:33 YOUR HEART FOR MISSION WORK AND - IN A CERTAIN AREA. 22:38 YOU MIGHT HAVE THE GIFT FOR TEACHING. 22:39 YOU MIGHT HAVE THE GIFT FOR MEDICAL WORK. 22:41 YOU MIGHT HAVE THE GIFT - 'I LOVE WORKING WITH MY HANDS.' 'I 22:44 WANT TO BE AN AVIATION MECHANIC IN A FOREIGN MISSION FIELD.' AND 22:48 SO GOD'LL PLACE SOMETHING ON YOUR HEART. 22:50 YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE FULLY SURRENDERED TO THE LORD - IT 22:53 SAYS IN PSALMS 37, 'HE WILL GIVE YOU THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.' 22:57 BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HE MAY ACTUALLY PUT IN YOUR HEART A 23:00 DESIRE TO DO HIS WILL BECAUSE YOU ARE SURRENDERED TO HIM. 23:05 AND YOU'LL SAY, 'LORD, I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS.' AND GOD SAYS, 23:07 'YEAH, YOU GOT THAT FROM ME. THAT'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.' 23:10 AND SO, SOMETIMES HE'S JUST GOING TO BE PLACING THAT ON YOUR 23:14 HEART - NOW, I PUT THAT AT THE END BECAUSE IT'S EASY FOR US TO 23:17 CONFUSE OUR DESIRES FOR HIS WILL. 23:20 BUT SOMETIMES YOU'LL SAY THAT - YOU'LL DISCOVER THE VERY THING 23:23 THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO IS THE THING THAT HE'S PLACED ON YOUR 23:27 HEART TO DO. I HEARD THIS STORY YEARS AGO, 23:32 THIS BOY LIVED ON A FARM WITH HIS MOM AND HIS DAD AND HIS 23:37 GRANDPA AND HE KNEW HIS GRANDPA HAD THIS GOLDEN WATCH - A 23:41 BEAUTIFUL WATCH THAT HE'D GOTTEN FROM RETIRING FROM THE RAILROAD 23:43 OR SOMETHING AND IT WAS ON A CHAIN. 23:46 AND HE'D PULL IT OUT AND HE USED TO LIKE LOOKING AT IT. 23:48 IT FLIPPED OPEN - IT HAD A CASE AND IT HAD A LITTLE CHOO 23:50 CHOO TRAIN IN IT THAT WENT AROUND AND THE GRANDFATHER WOULD 23:55 SHOW THE LITTLE BOY THE WATCH ALL THE TIME. 23:57 AND WHILE THE GRANDPA WAS OUT WORKING IN THE FIELD ONE DAY, 24:00 THE BOY WENT AND STARTED PLAYING WITH HIS WATCH AND - HE 24:03 SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN IT - AND HE TOOK IT AND CARRIED IT OUT TO 24:08 THE BARN WITH HIM AND WANTED TO ACT LIKE HE WAS A RAILROAD 24:10 WORKER AND HE WAS PLAYING AND HE PUT IT IN HIS POCKET. 24:13 THE BOY FORGOT ABOUT THE WATCH FOR AWHILE AND HE 24:15 THOUGHT, 'HEY, THERE'S A LOT OF FRESH HAY IN A PILE THEY TOSSED 24:17 DOWN FROM THE LOFT. 24:18 I'M GOING TO JUMP - I'M GOING TO JUMP FROM THE LOFT INTO THE 24:23 HAY.' AND HE PLAYED FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE 24:24 AND THEN HE REMEMBERED THE WATCH. 24:26 AND HE WENT TO TAKE IT OUT AND IT WAS GONE. 24:29 HE HAD LOST GRANDPA'S WATCH AND HE WAS FRANTIC AS HE THOUGHT, 24:32 'I'M GOING TO BE IN BIG TROUBLE IF I LOST GRANDPA'S GOLD WATCH.' 24:35 HE WENT BACK OUT TO THE BARN AND HE LOOKED AND LOOKED AND HE DUG 24:37 AROUND IN THE HAY AND HE COULDN'T FIND IT AND HE WAS JUST 24:40 HAVING A PANIC. HE FINALLY THOUGHT, 24:42 YOU KNOW, HE WAS A CHRISTIAN, 'I NEED TO PRAY.' 24:45 AND HE GOT ON HIS KNEES AND HE STARTED TO PRAY. 24:48 HE TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND WHILE HE WAS PRAYING IT BECAME VERY 24:50 QUIET AND HE HEARD, 'TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK' AND HE 24:56 WAS ABLE TO TRACK THAT LITTLE TICK DOWN UNTIL HE SIFTED 24:59 THROUGH THE HAY AND HE FOUND THE WATCH. 25:01 HE COULDN'T FIND IT UNTIL HE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BE STILL AND THE 25:06 BIBLE SAYS, 'BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.' YOU'LL HEAR A 25:08 STILL, SMALL VOICE BEHIND YOU. AND SO THE LORD IS ASKING, 25:12 'AM I ON MUTE? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? 25:17 WHO HAS AN EAR TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCH?' 25:21 I WANT TO PRAY THAT I'M WILLING TO LISTEN TO WHAT GOD IS SAYING 25:24 IN MY LIFE BY OBEDIENCE AND PRAYING FOR HIS WILL FOR THE 25:28 FUTURE.
