When God Speaks
You are not waiting for God to say something. You are waiting for him to say something you agree with. That is the real problem.
Most of us have been told that hearing God is a rare, mystical experience reserved for a select few with a special spiritual connection. The result is that ordinary believers outsource their entire relationship with God to someone else's voice, and then wonder why they feel so far from him. This message takes that idea apart and rebuilds something far more grounded and far more personal.
The sermon starts not with the channels but with the architecture. God is Trinitarian. The Father initiates. The Son is the Word made flesh, a message so complete that everything before it was partial and pointing. The Holy Spirit takes that word and makes it living and active in you, specifically. This is not mysticism. It is covenant. And a covenant, by definition, requires communication.
The primary channel is Scripture, and this sermon does not let you off the hook about it. God has already spoken extensively across the whole of human experience, through melancholic prophets, a king writing songs in a cave, a wise man in existential crisis. All of it is one story. All of it points to one person. And most of us have the instructions sitting unopened while we wonder why life is not assembling correctly.
In this episode:
- Why God speaks through covenant, not because he is warm or communicative by nature
- The Trinitarian architecture of how God communicates, and what each person of the Trinity does
- Why Scripture is the primary channel, and what that actually demands of you
- The role of wisdom: when a new prophetic word is not what you need
- Dreams, the still small voice, other people, and inner conviction as real, tested, and biblical channels
- The door is being knocked on. The question is whether you are listening.
