all right so we’ve already talked about
how God speaks through the the
scriptures we know that he also speaks
through Parables and symbolism and I
know that you’ve had so much to say on
that and I kind of want to wrap up with
[Music]
that welcome to part two of the way God
speaks I’m so excited that we’re going
to be once again joined by Rabbi Brian
to lean in and learn how God
speaks used to pray every night before I
went to sleep God I give you permission
to speak to me in the night watches oh
that’s good so I think in our culture
right now yes we’re so inundated that
maybe God might want to speak to people
through dreams and uh another thing I
found to be I have an iPad right here I
sleep with an iPad in my bed yeah I read
and I pretty much fall asleep 30 seconds
into my reading but if the Holy Spirit
Whispers something to me in the middle
of the night I off often used to think
I’d remember it I don’t but if I type it
into my iPad it it’s it’s captured I
will say sometimes it makes absolutely
no sense the next morning but there have
been more times than not that it makes
sense and sometimes it’s a solution to a
problem and I I can’t remember where I
heard it but I heard that during the day
your your brain gathers information you
see things you hear things but during
the night time your mind works as a
processor and it processes things and
the Holy Spirit is singing over you and
your scriptures are coming together when
you wake up there’s a Clarity of vision
of what you need to do and it’s just
right there so it’s a really good time
to capture it and write it down you know
the requirement for that dream state no
they call it r m rapid I movement you
that Rim sleep has to happen when you’re
at rest okay so if you’re not dreaming
you’re not resting you’re not resting
and most people sadly enough you used it
for a good thing your iPad but most of
us have that blue light in our eyes
constantly with the social media and
we’re so worried about what other people
think about us what we have followers
and yeah you almost have to because it
keeps waking you up and a lot of people
don’t ever get into sleep mode and I
always say it’s better to have your face
in the book than in your face than
Facebook because I think sometimes we’re
too busy at the night season right even
though we want to hear from God we’re
not reading his word we’re actually
reading even if we go on to read
scripture then we’re checking a
notification comes up and then we’re
checking our Facebook and our Twitter
and yeah so I think it’s important that
we have um a revelation of Isaiah 6 you
know Uzziah had just died and I love
Isaiah 6 I’m going to read from ESV it
says um you know the angels with its six
wings they were covering their face they
covering their feet and they flew the
one said to another in verse Three Holy
Holy Holy we say in Hebrew kadosh kadosh
kados to be set apart holy holy holy is
the Lord of hosts the Lord of armies it
actually is translated uh the whole
earth is full of his glory and uh you
jump down to verse number number eight
it says and I heard the voice of the
Lord saying whom shall I send and who
will go for us so it’s like you said
about not being used but God wants to
anoint a vessel that he can send um it’s
interesting though that the voice of God
uh in verse four it says the foundations
of the threshold Shook at the voice of
him who called and the house was filled
with smoke so that’s what sometimes we
get afraid of when God speaks it sounds
loud and Smokey and Smoky right yeah I
love what it says though when he begins
to tell the prophet the state of Israel
he speaks to the prophet directly in
verse 8 he says I heard the voice of the
Lord says whom shall I send who will go
for us then I said here I am send me
send me and he said go and say to this
people keep on hearing but you do not
understand you keep seeing but you don’t
perceive you have a heart uh the heart
of this people is dull and their eyes
are heavy the BL the blind and blind
their eyes lest they see with their eyes
and hear with their ears and understand
with their hearts and turn and be healed
if we don’t have eyes to see and ears to
hear it doesn’t matter how much God is
speaking he could even be yelling he
could be screaming from a Mountaintop
and we don’t have ears to hear him we
have to be in tune to the Holy Spirit
and the prophet was saying here I am but
Israel was saying you go talk to God
like they told Moses you God wanted
Israel to be Kings and Priests right and
then Moses said I wish you were all
prophets right that’s the three offices
God anointed in the Old Testament the
prophet the priest and the King God
wants to anoint us as prophets priests
and Kings who hear his voice and speak
it and he can send us but if we don’t
have eyes to see ears to hear even if we
have a dream or a vision we won’t see it
it makes no sense we don’t have Clarity
and God wants our ears spiritually open
not just the outer but the inner so okay
now you hear that a lot Kings and
Priests yes but you added the prophet in
there yes so that that Prophet yes
anointing is in desperate need right now
yes it is can hear what God is saying a
now word and speak a now word it doesn’t
negate the word of God it’s almost like
the Rama versus the logos right right it
upholds the word of God yes and um we
are called to actually I mean to desire
the most beneficial gifts yes and one of
the beneficial gifts is that I would
prophesy that I would build up other
people because tongues had to still be
interpreted
right but prophesying and prophesying is
speaking under divine inspiration from
the mind of God yeah right and so you
don’t have to tag it as I am prophesying
or th say people actually know because
they inner witness bear witness Bears
witness and sometimes and I’ve had this
happen where I’ve been in a meeting and
somebody says something out loud from
the stage that God whispered to me yes
in the morning and all of a sudden that
underscores and I’d be like oh my gosh
God was talking to me
and write it down but God actually wants
his people to prophesy which is to call
things into being that he wants to
declare the word of God over our
creation we have God’s word in our mouth
and we have the right to speak it and so
when you hear I love what you said you
might be waking up and you hear a
scripture yeah you said write it down
write it down but I’m also going to
challenge you to speak it out yes
absolutely speak it out so that begin to
prophesy that into a situation into your
marriage everything get covered
prophetic voice yeah and so when we hear
God’s word in our spirit speak it out
loud speak it out loud put it out there
arrest the atmosphere and go with it um
Audible Voice yeah Audible Voice okay so
unless you have something else you want
to say yeah no I was going to say to
tack the last thing you just said how do
you know when a word of Prophecy from
someone else is from God that’s a
question I get all the time and I teach
and this is what I teach people first of
all God has taken the spoken word theama
that God spoke from his mouth not only
to the Patriarchs but to the prophet
Moses and through all Isaiah Jeremiah
all the prophets many of them if they
didn’t hear God speak directly to them
without a mediator or through an angel
which was a mediator or they were the
mediator they would have the vision or
the dream the the thing that we have to
understand is first of all the first
relationship is God’s a father MH when I
talk to my daughter I don’t need a
mediator right talk direct so I learned
many years in Ministry of just thinking
I had to do ministry get approval from
people and always be the Yes Man and I
couldn’t say no to anyone and I was a
people pleaser because I’m words of
affirmation and and I I love affirming
people but I’m always looking for the
affirmation back and one day God really
took off all the titles cuz you know I’m
a pastor I’m a rabbi a Messianic Rabbi
I’m a I’m a Bible College instructor I’m
a counselor I do marriage counseling
premarital I do it all I do I do a lot
of things I wear a lot of hats and I’m
also a husband I’m a father he says if
you strip all those away You’re my child
yes and so I realized I was seeking for
people’s affirmation their amen their
approval of me in my sermons my messages
because Ministry became my affirmation
yeah when I stripped all that away
happens to a lot of minist yes and that
could be a downfall the enemy tricks us
with that because then we’re people
pleasing instead of God pleasing and
then I realize I don’t get my from
people I get my affirmation from God
right everyone else is just a
confirmation that’s to God’s affirmation
that he tells me daily confirmation from
people so what is prophecy it’s a
confirmation so what you would hear as a
still small voice of God in your own
prayer Closet in prayer time in devotion
yes when you hear the prophetic word
it’s to confirm what God already spoke
to you that’s awesome and I if if if
someone prophesies over me and it just
doesn’t agree if with my spirit I don’t
get a green light I don’t get a check in
my spirit I just put it kindly on a
shelf and I said God if you want to
fulfill that open doors no man can shut
shut doors no man can open you didn’t
speak that to me directly if I’m missing
something if I’m being disobedient then
you speak to me right I have found that
I would say 90 99.9% of the time it was
a word from man and not a word from God
because it never came to pass and I gave
God room to say God fulfill that in my
life but what God speaks to me direct
and God confirms through a man or woman
of God through prophecy that always
comes to pass God’s timing that’s
awesome so now when it comes to Audible
Voice MH okay God did audibly speak from
SI the way it seems to be that Noah
heard the audible voice of God just like
Adam heard the audible voice of God
right by the time you get to Abram in
chapter uh 15 after the 12 uh promise of
you I’ll make you a great name and great
nation and I’ll bless all those that
bless you and curse all those who curse
you in chapter 15 it says he had a
vision
right there was a vision of God you know
in this kind of a dream state this
vision of God God speaks to him about
having a child MH you know and the
Beautiful Thing is even when he messes
up with Hagar you know I mean that was a
plan B was never plan a kind of messed
up from hearing the voice God Says with
Sarah you’re going to have a child God
gives him another chance to come back to
the original word he said because I’m a
strong believer and God will not give
you another word until you obey the last
word he spoke to you cuz man doesn’t
live by bread alone but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God
so what just proceeded from his mouth
have you obeyed that first don’t expect
for anything else to proceed when you
didn’t obey my daughter ask me things
all the time I said honey I won’t do
that until you do what I asked you to do
wow and then I will reward her for her
obedience so the aible voice I think
sometimes what people perceive as an
audible voice is just God’s overwhelming
voice of the holy spirit in their spirit
that it sounds audible right so a road
to Damascus so somebody right so
somebody can be hearing from God yes
even if it’s not audible yes but they
will describe it like it’s audible
because it’s so strong but if you ask
anyone else if they heard it they’re
like no I didn’t hear anything right do
you remember the Paul’s kind of
conversion process wrote to Damascus you
know there’s a light and there’s a voice
one text uh Records it as some Saw The
Light others say they heard the voice
but I believe the only one that had the
clarity of the voice and understood the
light was the one that was having the
conversation with Jesus who are you Lord
I want to go back to something you said
about uh confirmations with prophecies
yeah um I remember being at a particular
church and afterwards I went out to a
meal with two lovely women and one of
the women looked at me and she said you
know Lee said the spirit of God told me
that he’s going to put you in stadiums
and you’re going to be speaking in
stadiums and I thought you’re crazy
you’re crazy and I you know and I didn’t
bear witness with me but I mean I didn’t
do anything disrespectful to her or
anything like that and um in I think two
years later um I found myself in the
Telstra Arena but I didn’t put it
together and then I was at this big
arena um in St Louis and I was walking
in and I heard God say look up and I
looked up and I saw this big arena and I
realized I was in a football field a
football stadium wow and I went to call
the person afterwards to tell him and
she had passed on and it and it was
crazy because if it’s really God yeah
you don’t have to where you don’t have
to bring it to pass it’s going to happen
and um you gently put it on the Shelf I
just didn’t know what and you gave God
room to fulfill it if you’re not hearing
from him you didn’t have the ear to hear
Capac to stop it or make it happen so it
was it was going to have to be him so
there may be some of you that have words
and you you don’t bear witness with them
because you think I could never be part
of that I could never do that and God
may just have something he wants to
Astound you with because that that
astounded me I actually just started
crying yes and um then I spoke in the
stadiums a few more times it was it was
crazy all right so we’ve already talked
about how God speaks through the the
scriptures we know that he also speaks
through Parables and symbolism and I
know that you’ve had so much to say on
that and I kind of want to wrap up with
that you know it’s funny because that
was the question that the disciples had
for Jesus uh why do you speak in
Parables and it’s funny I quoted the
verse that that Jesus used in Matthew 13
when you talked about the SE of the seed
and they’re asking the question why do
you speak Parables and he says it’s
because people have eyes but they don’t
see they have ears but they don’t hear
they have hearts but they just don’t
perceive so the parable provokes you to
go deeper and if you have a desire
hiding something no because then the the
disciples asked more plainly teach us
what it means and he did right so the
masses got the parable and the disciples
the disciplined ones the people that are
disciplined in prayer in the word
they’re the people that get the
interpretation of the parable uh it’s
funny because I often teach my Bible
college students how to use online
resources so if I just do a a search for
Parables uh you know it’s funny that you
get the Matthew 13 first thing that pops
up and uh the idea of
Parables uh are found throughout Jewish
writings first of all all rabis
especially the first C Century used
Parables what that means is they
they would tell stories because what you
remember a story yeah you remember a
story and Jesus told stories right most
of the old testament’s not law they’re
stories of Adam and Noah and Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob and Moses and you know
down to S David and Solomon they’re all
stories and so the idea of speaking in a
parable is is that it takes a physical
story that everybody can understand and
it relates to like agriculture right we
observe it yeah major
uh occupation within the first century
and still Israel to this day is
agriculture I’ll make you a fruitful
plane uh a land flowing with milk and
honey so he used the common story of the
day maybe The Parables that Jesus would
speak today would speak with about
computers and Millennials and you know
the you know different things that are
part of our society and then you’re
supposed to draw a spiritual principle
out of it so it’s supposed to invoke in
you a desire to not only hear from God
but when something triggers in your
understanding that you say oh I’ve sewn
seed before I understand sewing on a
thorny soil or on a ground that is full
of of uh weeds or is a shallow you know
rock soil I understand because you know
in the four the four soils actually
speak of four conditions of the heart
you remember what they they there’s the
Wayside yep so the Wayside the seed is
trampled on how many souls or hearts are
trampled on by life yeah and so they
can’t receive they get zero fruit cuz
you’re never going to sew on that kind
of soil and get any Harvest cuz it’s not
made for it right the other soils give
you 30 60 and 100 fold those are the
good har good soil the good one we know
Isaac seed in that in the land of Israel
and he reaped 100 fold Harvest Jesus was
playing on that blessing of Isaac from
Abraham and he sewed and he ripped 100
fold that’s good soil right the other
two are Rocky and then thorny so what is
the rocky the rocky imagine from here to
the ground let’s say here’s the surface
and all of this extra space is is the
soil but when it hits the hardwood floor
it can no longer grow has no dep so it’s
never going to grow roots that can grow
a foood tree and fruit to maturation
dwarfs H yes and then that’s going to
give about 30% growth so then the 60% is
going to come from the thorny because
just when you think it’s getting ready
to produce the thorns and cares of Life
are going to choke it out the Old
Testament tells us not to sew among
Thorns wow and so everything in the Old
Testament was a setup for that so every
time a a Not only would a rabbi use a
parable but even the prophets used
Parables some of their Visions were
Parables to teach principles so I think
what you have to do is hear the story
just like you told a personal story yeah
everyone that’s watching you might say
well gosh my life’s just like Lisas I
might share something wow RBI Bren I
never knew he went through that well
gosh I’m going through that so
everything in life becomes a parable
right a teaching tool so everything
around us we have to constantly keep our
eyes and ears open so we can hear from
God you know what God wants to speak to
you in Parables he wants to speak to you
in dreams he wants to speak to you in
Visions he wants to talk to you in the
inner witness he wants to give you a
piece that passes understanding he wants
to confirm the dreams he’s put in your
heart the hopes he’s that author and he
is that finisher so I we just we only
able to touch the but I’m going to tell
you something you can get into the
scriptures and you’re going to see
things in a whole new light
understanding that God is your father
and he wants to speak to you as a son
and as a daughter that no father is
going to say I’m not going to talk to my
children but he’s going to want what’s
best for you so I hope this changes not
just your Vantage Point but that you
actually understand you’re a king yes
you’re a priest and you’re a prophet we
need what God wants to speak to you to
be released into this Earth we need you
to hear from God because other people
need to hear from you could you just
pray for them as we close out yes
father I just thank you today Lord God
for those that are watching on the on
this course and they’re just learning
how to hear your voice how to be
intimate with you how to have a
relationship with you as a father has it
with his children as a husband has with
his wife we pray that we will not have
to yell to God or him yelled at us
because we’re so far away but we want to
get as close as possible to hear your
voice we don’t want a Sinai experience
only we want to hear that still Small
Voice that Elijah experienced
experienced when he heard the voice of
God let us be like the prophets of old
speak to us in Visions in dreams in
Parables speak to us through life
situations Holy Spirit speak to our
spirit through the voice of our
conscience reminding us and bringing
back to our remembrance everything we’ve
meditated on in your word and
specifically speak to us through your
written word so we can understand the
Living Word his name is Jesus we thank
you today his name in Hebrew is Yeshua
salvation May those that are watching
not only be saved but they know that
they know that they know that they’re a
child of God and can hear the voice of
God and we can cry out ABA father by the
spirit of adoption the spirit of sunship
sons and daughters that hear the
father’s voice in Jesus name we pray
amen amen I’m going to close with this
Let the Peace of Christ the inner calm
of the one who walks daily with him be
the controlling factor in your hearts
deciding and suddenly questions that
arise this is what we’re praying for you
to this peace indeed you were called as
members of the body or Believers and be
thankful to God always so there’s that
thankfulness posture so the peace of God
that is described in Colossians 3:15 may
it be yours as you pursue hearing God
Amen
