God Speaks

God Speaks

By Pastor Ha from the Korean "Onnuri Community Church

(Hearing the voice of God)

People in the Old Testament era heard God's voice directly.
They knew God through hearing His voice.

It is not unusual to hear someone today proclaim a belief in "God." They could be talking about Yahweh, or they could be referring to the god of Islam or even a god recognized in the East. It's unclear just what "god" one is referring to in such a case.

But the true God speaks to us.

Each and every one of you must encounter God who speaks if you truly want to understand, meet, and experience Him.

When God speaks, I listen. Faith involves listening, listening to God's voice.

God speaks to us in a variety of forms.

In the Old Testament era, He spoke directly to people. In the New Testament era, God spoke through Jesus Christ.

Because God is spirit, we cannot see God in His actual form. Those who encounter God are only able to hear His voice, they can neither see nor meet Him directly.

Because we are flesh and He is spirit, there is no one who can experience Him directly.

But there is one way to capture His true essence, and that is through the word.

• Words are a communications means that we all understand.
Hearing the word of God is a way to experience the true nature of God.
• He is Jesus Christ.
• He is the Holy Spirit who has appeared to us as power.

-Through the Holy Spirit, we are able to experience the word.
-Through Jesus Christ, we experience Scripture.



Those who have the Holy Spirit, evidence, that they are Christians to others without even knowing. This is the internal evidence of the Holy Spirit.

Even when Paul was in prison being beaten or when he was about to be beheaded, Paul rejoiced. There is no other way to explain this.



Because the true nature of God dwells in us through the word, (by the renewing of the mind) the word rules in us over our five senses, our intellect, our reason, and our experiential world.

It is my hope that such a blessing would be with each of you today.

Habakkuk experiences this blessing in chapter 3.

Hab 3:1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
Hab 3:2 ¶ LORD, I have heard the report about You {and} I fear. O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.

Hab 3:5 Before Him goes pestilence, And plague comes after Him.
Hab 3:6 He stood and surveyed the earth; He looked and startled the nations. Yes, the perpetual mountains were shattered, The ancient hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

Hab 3:16 ¶ I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise {who} will invade us.
Hab 3:17 Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines, {Though} the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,
Hab 3:18 Yet I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Hab 3:19 The Lord GOD is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds' {feet,} And makes me walk on my high places.

That is why, Without knowing, even to him, Habakkuk's language changes, and his prayer becomes a poem, praise, and worship.

I encourage each of you to rise be-on and above the successes and failures of this world, to rise above sickness and health, to rise above the environment in which you live to the one true importance, and that is to.

Live with God who dwells in you in the word.

I Cannot Save Myself

ON THREE QUESTIONS ANYONE WANTS AN ANSWER, SOMETIME IN HIS OR HER LIFE

• WHY I'M HERE, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE
• WHERE DO I COME FROM, WHO OR WHAT GAVE ME LIFE
• WHERE I'M GOING, WHAT WILL BE THE END OF MY EXISTENCE
  

FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS DIRECT US TO OUR DESTINY
Dear Friend, maybe the foregoing passage about faith and the Word of God is new to you, let me explain a couple of things before we go on:Feelings and thoughts are the things that direct us to our destiny.As you know there is Good and Evil in this World and we are part of it, all the good and the evil exists through people like you and me.It is up to us, what is going to happen, we are responsible.But both are present in us, and both desire to have the best of us.I mean this; I like to be loved by others, I like to do good to others, I want other people to talk well of me, I like to make them smile and to love them.On the other hand I don't take the blame, I defend myself, I protect myself, I sacrifice others that I may gain and get back to those that hurt me,or talk bad of me, take from me, I seek revenge for al the wrong men shall do to me, in order to stay on top and to make it in this World .All people try to survive, protect themselves, this causes the struggles we are in.

THE QUESTION IS CAN I WIN !
The question is can I win?, and if I win what have I gained.The Apostle Paul wrote this predicament about himself and I may say, that this situation is relevant for all of us.Rom 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]Rom 7:19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.Rom 7:21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right {and} good, evil is ever present with me {and} I am subject to its insistent demands.Paul says here that he is not in control to do good, but that evil puts its demands on him.Though he wants to good, it is the evil he eventually has to do to.Other powers are at work in us.We think that our struggle is against people, but the Bible shows clearly that, it is not true.Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual {forces} of wickedness in the heavenly {places.}So what is the solution, Paul again writes this;Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind amserving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.Through Jesus I am able to do good, to serve the Lord, why?, because evil will lead me to eternal death, I may gain the whole world, but I will lose my soul.In Jesus I will find eternal life and the power over evil. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.



I CANNOT SAVE MYSELF
This is the reason that I cannot do it on my own, God cannot save me because the good in me is insufficient. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Evil is called sin in the Bible and robs us from all the good we try to do, WE DO ALL HAVE SIN IN OUR LIFE AND THE WAGES ARE DEATH;Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.This is the reason for my story to you.We all need someone stronger than darkness, and that person is Jesus, He is the one that defeated evil, never sinned and took all the blame and punishment that was due to us, so we might get free and live a good life with good deeds and receive eternal life.

Hope and Support

Hope and Support

We cannot live without hope!

Our hope is an anchor for the soul, stable, certain. It will stand against the testing of time and reaches into eternity, it is anchored behind the veil in the Rock of Ages, the Lord Jesus Christ, our high priest and our forerunner.

Heb 6:18 This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false {or} deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength {and} strong encouragement to grasp {and} hold fast the hope appointed for us {and} set before [us].

Heb 6:19 [Now] we have this [hope] as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whoever steps out upon it--a hope] that reaches farther {and} enters into [the very certainty of the Presence] within the veil,
Heb 6:20 Where Jesus has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.

We cannot live without hope, faith is the under laying steady assurance on which hope is build, Faith will bring fort hope and both are important and necessary. But we have to keep in the right order, they are designed to function in a right relationship with each other. It is just impossible to survive without hope.

Rom 15:13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound {and} be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

God is not only a god of peace, the God of righteousness, the God of power, the God of joy, but also the God of hope. So when you are filled with joy en peace through your faith, and the result is that you are overflowing with hope.

For the whole study on hope,
*how to get it
*how to maintain your
*how to protect your thought life

Hope and Support from Minstry of Hope

Never hesitate to ask for prayer or bible question

I am glad to help explain bible issues and show doctrinal errors.

God is love

John 3:16 For God so greatly loved {and} dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

We are to love and will show in the following.
Love has tremendes power

1 Cor 13:4 Love endures long {and} is patient and kind; love never is envious {nor} boils over with jealousy, is not boastful {or} vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

1 Cor 13:5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) {and} does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights {or} its own way, {for} it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy {or} fretful {or} resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

1 Cor 13:6 It does not rejoice at injustice {and} unrighteousness, but rejoices when right {and} truth prevail.

1 Cor 13:7 Love bears up under anything {and} everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
