Week Four-"God's Voice Reveals His Character"

Hey girls, I'll miss you this week but as you know my daughter is having surgery and I'm sure you understand that my place is with her. Please keep her in your prayers. I normally don't post these notes until after the video but I wanted to go ahead and make sure these were posted for you. I know some of you want the words that she'll be using to describe each book of the Bible. Love and Blessings to you! Enjoy!

Week Four-“God’s Voice Reveals His Character”
Notes from Priscilla’s commentary:

When we read the Word of God—don't read it as a duty, but as if He has our face cupped in His hands, looking at us squarely in our eyes and saying, “Would you trust me? I will do everything that I say I will. I am Who I say I am!”

Get your priorities straight—Press into Him—get close to Him. Ask yourself, Am I using God for what I want Him to give me? We’ve gone looking for what He will provide.

Priscilla made reference to a book called, “The Practice of the Presence of God” by Bro. Lawrence (I think this was his name)

Press into God! He will speak so clearly you will not doubt that you are hearing from Him!

We’re not hiding anything from Him. Any path He asks you to take—you are better off in that spot you feel uncomfortable in with Him than you would be if you stayed out of it because He’s good and love.

The words that she used describing each book of the Bible came from a song entitled, “He Is”. I found the lyrics and posted them for your convenience.
