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.
