Discerning God’s Voice
“The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the
sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all
his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will
never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
John 10:2-5 NIV
When was a time you knew
you heard the voice of God?
#1
The truth of His Word
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and
songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”
Colossians 3:16 NIV
“And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you
wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may
be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:15-17 NIV
Are you welcoming God’s Word into your daily life
like a wise friend or a task that needs to be endured?
#2
The confirmation of circumstances
3 Circumstances:
Judges 6:17-22 Food offering
Judges 6:36-40 Two fleeces
How has God used circumstances in your life
to confirm His voice?
#3
The wisdom of His people
“For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.”
Proverbs 11:14 NIV
“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm”
Proverbs 13:20
“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you
should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness” and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise
are futile.”
1 Corinthians 3:18-20 NIV
What qualities do you look for in people from whom
you seek wisdom?
