Sermon devotion/ when the spirit is in power—the God who speaks/ Apostle Lawrence khong
God is constantly speaking to us, and finding ways to communicate with us. He sent Jesus, his only son to be the spokesperson of God when he was on earth to fulfill his duty. When Jesus ascended to heaven after he rose from the dead, he told his disciples that he will send the Holy Spirit to be their comforter and guide. From then on, the holy spirit started a new era – the era of prophesy. God can speak to everyone, and through everyone too. Everybody can prophesize as we’re all given the prophetic spirit. Thus, open up your spiritual eyes and ears when you pray for someone, so that you can help to prophesize for the other person.
Prophetic utterances through the work of the holy spirit:
How does God speak to you?
1) Dreams and visions
A vision is a mental picture of what God wants. So, whenever you received a vision, ask God for a clearer picture as you describe to the person, and also for an interpretation. For dreams, we don’t’ usually take dreams seriously. Often, we tend to forget the content of our dreams; however, dreams are usually quite impt, because God uses dreams to prophesize and to minister. Thus, it’s always best to keep a dream journal and to record all the dreams that you have. Pray and ask God about these dreams, to understand what they actually mean in your life so that you can apply them in your life.
2) words of wisdom
Release wisdom during difficulties and solutions to problems. Try to release words of wisdom when praying in a cell group. The presence of the lord will be manifested when 2 or more gathers. God will speak to those he wants to speak to.
3) words of knowledge
Speaking in tongues usually stimulates the spirit, and thus more prophetic words are given through the person. Tongues are also words of knowledge that needs interpretation.
How do we discern the voice of God?
1) God’s word—the bible. The bible is the ultimate source of truth/God. all prophesies cannot violate the doctrine of the bible. The word of God is the principle to check all prophesies.
2) God’s community—church we all must learn how to operate under God’s community. There’s always protection of leadership in a community, thus it’s much safer to work in a community rather than alone. You will face the danger of being attacked by the devil if you choose to operate alone under supernatural powers. There’s no spiritual family to guide you and to give you advice on how to work.
