God speaks at various times and in various ways. Of course, words are but one of His many forms of communication. When we discover the variety of methods in which He speaks, we’ll become more receptive to His voice. #lisabevere #lisabeverestudy #lisabeverecourse #lisabevere #lisabevereadamant #christianstudy #theadamant # #onlinecourses #truthisarock #truth #whatistruth #lisabeveresermons #hearinggod ______________ Chapters: 0:00 – Lesson Teaser 0:15 – My Story 5:07 – This Is for Everybody 7:19 – God Wants to Speak to Us 9:02 – How God Speaks to Us 18:40 – Go Make It Right So You Can Hear from God 20:37 – My Challenge for You ______________ Make a one-time donation to help fund our livestreams, content, events, and more: https://messengerinternational.org/

this is the thing God does want to speak
to us yes and and not only does he want
to we were created to hear from him
[Music]
yes welcome to another lesson of hearing
God and I am so excited about this
because I feel like this is a lesson we
can talk about the different ways God
talks to us yes and all through this
course we’ve had so much excitement
about people finding out that God can
speak to them in any way they can hear
it any place yes yeah so I want to just
kind of share a little bit of my story
you know um I got saved at 21 years of
age and I was in the church every time
it opened I was there Wednesday night I
was there Sunday night I was there
Sunday morning I I I tried to be a
prayer counselor and they’re like no you
barely even know scriptures you can’t do
this yet but I was like oh my gosh I got
isquite yes yes I’d like flip in the
back and be like well I think they were
like nope that’s not
so anyway I got really provoked cuz so
many ministers that were coming in would
say and then God said this to me and God
said this to me and God and I was like
wait just a minute occasionally like
when I’m reading a scripture I’ll feel
life on it or occasionally I’ll like
feel like the holy spirit is saying
something but God is talking to these
people a whole heck of a lot more than
he was talking to me and I found myself
really um
discontent with my relationship and I
remember uh John I just had my first
baby and and John was I think he was
like in Trinidad or something doing a
missions trip and I picked up pen and
paper and started a journal and I wrote
out what I wanted I said I actually
wrote out John 10:27 you said that my
sheep will know my voice yes and the
voice of a stranger they will not hear I
don’t know if it’s your voice my voice
the devil’s voice just some random
person’s voice I need to know your voice
and I I wrote out a very long uh just
desire to hear God’s voice and then I
gave him permission I said you can even
now this is the most precious thing I
had as a young mother wake me up in the
middle of the night wow I was like I
have a baby sleeping through the night
now but God for it do that yes I wish I
would have not so anyway I said all
right you can even wake me up so I
remember I went to bed
not that night but the next night I
think it was like 2:22 my eyes just pop
open I’m looking at the digital clock
I’m thinking why am I awake yeah I
should be sleeping get up go to the
bathroom go back to sleep next night
exactly same time look at the clock my
eyes pop open I’m like I can’t believe
this happened two nights in a row third
night third night it’s like Samuel it’s
like third time third time I was like
wait a minute didn’t I tell God he could
even wake me up could it be that God is
tapping me on the shoulder and and did
he call me did he did he whisper on my
name so I remember I snuck out of my bed
and got my journal and turned on the
little light in our kitchen sat down on
the floor and I can still remember my
posture I was kind of like like this
okay what do you want to say and I and I
remember hearing so distinctly I love
you wow and I thought now that’s just
what I want him to say that’s not what
he’s really saying yeah so I remember I
thought okay but you know what nobody’s
gonna at my journal I’m just gonna write
it down so I wrote down I love you
knowing he was talking to me I put the
date I love you and as soon as I put pen
to paper it was as though something came
alive and as fast as I could write the
Holy Spirit was speaking to me and God
spoke to me about the season I was in
because I kept saying what next what
next what next he was saying no until
you are content now there is not a next
and and I said well what about this this
and what about that and I just had a
horrible labor and he said I’m going to
bring you into a new season of birth and
I said mm no we’re not doing this again
I almost died I almost died we’re not
doing this again he said this time I’ll
carry you and I remember I said you
didn’t carry me last time wow you didn’t
carry me and he said when it gets rough
I need you just to lean in on me and
listen to my heartbeat and then I was
like okay wait a minute if I get up in
the middle of the night and God just
tells me I’m going to be in pain I don’t
know if this deal could be off but deal
break the the amazing thing was um and
and I got up a couple more times in
journal but the amazing thing was my
first labor was very hard a lost a lot
of blood it was very very difficult 12
hours my second labor I was only at the
hospital 20 minutes before I had him and
I had actually forgotten that God had
told me that the labor would be quick it
would be joyous and I found my journal
and I found my journal I had moved I
found my old Journal I had started a new
journal and I opened it up and I wept
like a baby because I knew that I knew
the voice wow and is that just something
that God wants to do for me Rabbi Brian
no I believe it’s for everybody in fact
the funny thing when you say the word
Journal I keep hearing the word Journey
oh wow and uh you know I don’t know
French but I know how to say bonjour you
know or theour you know like the the
soup of the day or good day and all the
the words with that same root to it it
means of the day and so what you’re
journaling is what God is doing today
you know it’s good to talk about what
God’s done yesterday but what are we
believing God for today and I think when
you Journal your journey not only are
you aware that God is with you in that
Journey every single day of your life
but you should expect to hear from him I
tell people write down everything the
questions you have that you’re asking
God and not only do you need to ask him
in prayer but you need to ask write it
down because you forget you forget you
totally forget and then when he answers
write it down when the healing happens
or the miracle comes write it down
because then when you start questioning
God and he’s not no longer speaking you
can always go back to the journal at
least you think he’s not speaking you go
back to the journal you remember oh God
spoke to me here and he answered there
he spoke to me so God does speak to me
and what he’s done then he can do now
but we have to be reminded of that and
plus any favorite verse that comes to
your mind because if you’re meditating
the word day and night the holy spirit’s
job is to speak it back to you bring it
back to your remembrance and then you
get to write that down the holy spirit
said to me and I know sometimes it’s
it’s it’s scary to say God spoke to me
because I remember going to summer camp
where the kids would say God called me
to Ministry and they throw their hands
up and it was all these young kids that
were sons of preachers and felt pressure
they felt the pressure to fill this
calling and then you see their life kind
of decline after trying to be this man
or woman woman of God these these
preachers kids because they were trying
to fit into the shoes of their parents
and I think you have to hear God for
yourself you can’t do it CU mom and dad
are saved so I’m saved or I’m a they’re
Christians so I’m Christian or it’s like
if you’re Catholic well we’re Catholic
why are you Catholic well my parents are
Catholic what is it is is it ethnicity
now instead of a religion that you
choose and I think ultimately we have to
hear what God’s speaking to us this is
the thing God does want to speak to us
yes and and not only does he want to we
were created to hear from him I mean
there’s this cre a and I’m really random
and so it I’ve discovered I don’t call
it random for me I call it it’s not a
rabbit Trail I call it a rabbi Trail so
it’s okay to be a little bit random I
take Rabbi
Trails but I also look at things
differently yeah and it doesn’t make
other people the way they see things but
I look at things differently and I
remember when I found myself pregnant
for the fourth time everybody yeah
you’re gonna have a girl this time yay
and I had a dream wow and God spoke to
me in a dream and isn’t you know a lot
of people think oh that’s just an Old
Testament thing wow but God spoke to me
in a dream and he showed me this vision
of a lionist and he said with the birth
of this son you will awaken a lioness
and I remember coming fully awake
thinking I’d only been asleep for five
minutes and that was morning time and he
began to say to me he said this is what
I’m going to do he said and he gave me
the scripture to back it up he gave me
numbers 23: 24 where it says these yes
and and I was like what’s going on here
and it didn’t make sense in that season
yeah but I wrote it down and I
remembered it and what he said to me in
one season made sense in another season
so sometimes God will speak to us in one
season yeah through dreams through
Visions through other people yeah
because he has something for us in the
next season you know um I want to talk
about how God speaks to us so people
understand one of the ways that God
speaks to us and I I’m going to
highlight it and then I’d love you to
elaborate on it uh is found by the inner
witness yes you know my husband always I
think he says velvet feeling but just
that inner witness we’ve all had that
and if somebody can’t locate that we’ve
all had that yucky feeling inside and
remember you said last night it’s when
our spirit senses something that our
mind has not yet caught up to so you’re
like I don’t feel good about this I
don’t feel good about that there’s
something inside but when the spirit of
God is confirming something we’ll have a
a peace witness but Romans 8 and I’m
going to read from the ESV verses 14-6
it says for all who are led by the
spirit of God are sons of God now that
doesn’t mean he leaves out women you
were children of God for you did not
receive the spirit of Slavery to fall
back into fear oh my gosh I don’t know
if God’s talking to me I don’t know if
he wants to talk to me I don’t know if I
did something bad but you have received
the spirit of adoption as Sons by whom
we cry ABA father yeah and it says the
spirit himself Bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of God yesti
what does that mean if we’re children of
God what does that mean well you know
you can’t beong to Christ until you have
the spirit of Christ so when you accept
Christ for the first time the spirit of
the Lord comes inside and he awakens
your spirit man right because most of
the world is operating not Spirit soul
and body but Body Soul and Spirit and so
the spirit is literally in a spirit ual
coma like a dead man like d d and the
Bible tells us to arise and shine for
their light is come Isaiah 60:1
Ephesians tells us that we arise and
shine and a wake up from our sleep when
Christ becomes the light that wakens us
and so the spirit of God is shining a
light on things that were in darkness so
things that were not clear things that
we didn’t have Clarity of and when God
speaks to our spirit from the Holy
Spirit our conscience is the voice of
the spirit that speaks back to us yeah
so the conscience Bears witness in the
Holy Spirit now I want you to clarify
something so if it’s my conscience m is
it going to sound like me I always
imagine that that’s exactly how God
speaks because that’s how God speaks to
me you ever notice you speak to God the
same way that sometimes you speak to
other people like you you feel like
you’re speaking to God a certain way and
then God speaks right back to you and
and people question like God doesn’t
speak like that no he speaks like that
to me well he’s using your own inner
voice right cuz I I I think a lot of
people are waiting for the booming man
voice from heaven and then all of a
sudden they hear something in their head
unless you’re Abraham you know they hear
something in their head like was that
God yeah it couldn’t have been me I
could never have thought of that yeah so
I think that the still Small Voice that
Elijah understood he’s not in the
earthquake and the wind and the fire
yeah but he’s in the still Small Voice
um Israel understood the still Small
Voice to be the voice of the holy spirit
that came from the shakina glory that
when God shakina glory would manifest
there would be a still Small Voice so
when God spoke over Jesus this is my
beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased we
called in Hebrew the bot Cole the
daughter’s voice the daughter’s voice
and I have a 10-year-old daughter named
Elana and the daughter’s voice draws me
in I’m a father and I am wrapped like
nobody’s business when my daughter talks
to me and she ask me for stuff and I
told my daughter you are not getting an
iPhone you’re not going to get until you
give me straight A’s guess what Dad gave
her for her 10th birthday an iPhone an
iPhone an
straight A she didn’t but she gave me
better grades so what I had better than
Straight A’s she improve better than
what she had yeah she did not have
straight A before so guess what the
phone is now my bargaining tool yes hey
if I don’t get straight Aid on first
quarter guess what happens with the
phone get yanked but the main thing I’m
I I relate to is God is a father and the
Hebrew term for the voice of God the
still Small Voice is the daughter’s
voice I love that so it’s almost like
God saying I’m wooing you in the
softness and intimacy of that a daughter
would ask a father Daddy Daddy it’s
funny that we cry ABA father to God but
God is listening to us because we are
his child you know I think it’s really
um fascinating whenever I would pray um
and i’ would be like what’s the next in
the ministry what’s the next he would
say to me I need you just to be my
daughter yeah you’re my daughter yes
you’re and and I actually uh needed him
to say that to me because I didn’t know
what it was to be a daughter to my
father my father was didn’t know how to
be a father so I didn’t know how to be a
daughter my mother didn’t really know
how to be a mother so I didn’t know how
to be a daughter and he and four boys
right yeah I was completely confused but
this is what he said to me he said who
you are to me which is daughter is more
important than anything you could ever
do for me and so he said that is where
you have to to gauge everything off of
is the relationship you have with me
because there was a a real popular term
use me use me use me and I remember
remember he crashed in my prayer time
when I was praying that and he said I
don’t use I don’t use people he said I
anoint them I heal them I transform them
I conform them to my image he said but
Satan uses people wow and he said I will
not use you and toss you away you are
more important to me and so I think
having that mindset of father and
daughter wow or father and son shifts
everything because I think we have we
forget that Adam wasn’t a min Min right
he was a son and in the gospel actually
Luke ends it that way that Adam was a
Son of God he’s the first created son
Jesus is the only begotten son and Adam
was made to look just like Jesus because
Jesus is the image of goding our goal is
to not only hear his voice right there
transform yeah yeah Romans 8: 14-1 17 it
talks about the sons of God and then it
says this is he who came by water and
blood Jesus Christ not by water only but
by the water and the blood and the
spirit is the one who testifies because
the spirit is the truth yes for there
are three that Testify the spirit and
the water and the blood and these three
agree so what is that saying to us
because that’s like powerful but
confusing to me well yeah so though in
other words what the Bible tells us in
Deuteronomy 17 and 19 is you can’t have
a case judicial case without three
Witnesses or testimonies so the what we
we’re reading in scripture is there’s
always the confirmation of either you
have two or at least or at the max three
it’s funny that it’s hard to get two
people to agree on anything but how can
two walk together marriage how can two
walk together unless they agree right
amamos 3:3 but the idea is you you get
three people to come into agreement you
have a perfect Unity oh wow just like
the father son the holy spirit Spirit
body three-fold Court hard to be broken
so every Judicial Court had a standing
ruling
uh from the judge based upon the witness
of three so it’s just like when Jesus
said in Luke 24 didn’t you read in the
law and the prophets that everything I
said to you was the truth wow what he’s
saying is I spoke to you but I spoke the
law and the prophets because I’m the
witness to back up their Witnesses wow
so that they all speak of Jesus from
Genesis to Revelation speaks of Jesus
and that witness is confirmed by the
other Witnesses Okay so we’ve got the
inner witness yeah and then we have
visions yes yeah so so that’s funny
because us about this I I mentioned
Moses a second ago Moses had a unique
Ministry in fact it’s funny in numbers
chap 12 do you remember when Miriam
talks with Aaron gossip complains about
him Marrying an Ethiopian woman yes well
God confronts her not only gives her a
little bit of leprosy for seven days
right that’s a little judgment we call
that lanara Lon har the evil tongue when
you have the evil tongue God could
sometimes zap you with Leprosy which was
temporary for you to repent so here he
talks to her and says how dare you talk
about your your brother like that don’t
you know he’s the prophet that I only
speak face to face while other prophets
I speak in visions and dreams right so
the Hebrew word for vision is
hon very similar change out one letter
you have the word for dream halom okay H
and halom are visions and dreams one
when you’re awake one when you’re sleep
okay so when the spirit was going to be
outpoured Jo Joel proph side I’ll pour
out my spirit upon All Flesh because God
wants everybody to hear him and he wants
everyone to have the spirit right but he
says your old men will dream dreams your
young men will see Visions wow I don’t
know if God’s saying old men sleep a lot
you know and they’re always going to be
sleep can do sleep at this point and
maybe the young men are so awake and
energetic that they’re that they have to
receive it while they’re awake but
there’s something about the generations
you see what other Generations dreamed
about yeah God gives the newer
Generation The Vision to accomplish wow
so so say that one more time what older
Generations only dreamed about the
younger generation has the the vision to
make it come to pass or to execute the
vision and so between Malachi and
Matthew it ends with a Ministry of
Elijah talks about Moses and Elijah and
he says God will turn the hearts of the
fathers back to the children and the
children’s back to the father so the
idea is God wants to close up the Gap so
that not only do we hear from God but
sons and Sons and Fathers and Sons and
Daughters can hear each other and we
sometimes lose that so from one
generation to the next they would lose
the voice of God in the days of Samuel
there was no prophetic voice it was rare
very rare it says until Samuel you know
um I love that you brought up about the
sons and the fathers talking because it
makes me think of the scripture when it
says when you go to give your offering
yes and you remember you remember not
that you have a to get somebody but if
somebody has something against you go
and make it right make go just leave it
and go make it right so there is
something to the fact that when we have
something broken between people broken
relationship then sometimes we can’t
hear from God yes or God’s like I’d love
to talk to you about something but I
need you to fix this first yes
absolutely talk to them first very true
let’s make this happen in John in his
Epistles he talks about the fact how can
you love God who you can’t see if you
don’t love your neighbor who you do see
which was based upon Leviticus love your
neighbor as yourself and don’t hate your
brother in your heart that’s Old
Testament before it was ever New
Testament so the idea is that these
relationships are pictures of this
relationship so God uses the Father’s
son relationship not that he’s not
excluding daughters but it’s okay girls
have to be sons of God just like men
have to be a bride of Christ there you
go there you go so they’re only
metaphors that’s the original they’re
just metaphors yeah and then the other
relationship was husband and wife so
Israel was the bride at SI when God gave
the Commandments and they heard the
voice and they were responding with I do
all that you said I will do it was a
marriage so God says in Jeremiah he goes
remember that Covenant you broke it’s
not going to be like that one it’s going
to be a new covenant I’m going to put it
on your heart this time so you don’t
break it and he says cuz I was a husband
to you yeah the beautiful imagery of
husband you with an everlasting love
always was always was CU The Vow is
forever right yeah I love that yeah you
know um so we mentioned visions and so I
love that this just just the one letter
change so God can speak to you visions
and God can if you’re young foret It
Dream you’re going to be dreaming you’re
my age and older dreams we’re just
dreaming we’re going to pause our
conversation right there but I hope you
are feeling stirred that God wants to
speak to you he wants to speak to you in
so many different ways but he definitely
wants to speak to you in the way that
you can hear from him so I’m going to
challenge you to set aside some time
make room for him to speak to you I’m
also going to invite you to ask him the
ways he’s already talking to you that
maybe you were not aware of so you’re
going to set aside time and you’re going
to recognize how he’s already speaking
and I’m excited because we’re going to
go more into this conversation in our
next lesson so join
