Talk to Me

Oct 30, 2016

Dr. Ed Newton

John 14:16-17 ESV

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

Talking and communicating is determined not only upon information transfer, but whether the information is received from the sender. 
Therefore, two questions must be asked in how we learn to communicate with the Holy Spirit:
1) How do we recognize His Voice?
2) How do we respond to His Voice?
The answer to these questions is the hinge on the door that will usher in the kingdom of God through you.

Recognize His Voice:  Sensitivity

I. The Holy Spirit Brings the Word:  (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21)

a. Conveys: John 14:26
b. Clarifies: John 16:13

II. The Holy Spirit Bears Witness: (Romans 8:16)

a. Commands: Galatians 5:16
b. Convicts: John 16:8
c. Comforts: Philippians 4:6-7

commanding, convicting, comforting

III. The Holy Spirit Bestows Wisdom: (1 Cor. 2:6-16, 12:8, Isaiah 11:2)

a. Counsels: Matthew 10:19-20
b. Confirms: 1 John 2:27

IV. The Holy Spirit Brightens THE Way: (Romans 8:14, Ezekiel 36:27)

a. Calls:  Hebrews 3:15
b. Conforms: 1 John 2:6

Respond to His Voice: Surrender

I. Welcome Divine Interruptions: (1 Thessalonians 5:19, Ephesians 4:30)
II. Watch for Divine Intervention: (Acts 8:29)
III. Walk in Divine Interaction:  (Galatians 5:22)
To walk daily in sensitivity to the INNER workings of the Holy Spirit while in surrender to the OUTER workings of the Holy Spirit is the Spirit-filled life.
