Week Six-"Responding to God's Voice"

Can you believe that we are at the end of this outstanding study? It has been an amazing journey, one that I pray we will never forget.

I will continue to post on my blog so I hope you'll stick around for awhile.

Speaking of "hope", don't forget, Hold On Past the Evidence! It's not about what is evident, it's Who we hold on to past the evidence! He's a sure thing!

Notes from Priscilla's commentary:

Week Six-“Responding to God’s Voice”

2 Kings 5:11
Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Behold, I thought, (we do too much thinking and have too many preconceived ideas) He will surely come out to me (PRIDE) and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.”

Notes from Priscilla’s commentary:

God does not speak simply to be heard BUT obeyed.

What do I do with the responsibility of doing what I’m told? Naaman felt like there were better rivers to bathe in than that of the Jordon.

Am I committed to obedience?

We think we know how God will communicate to us. We present ourselves to God as if we deserve different than what He chooses for us.

Boxes limit our awareness of God. They don’t limit God—they do, however, confine us. Am I so full of pride that I can’t be filled with the Spirit?

You won’t always get goose bumps—instead you might be upset by what you hear from God. Sometimes we miss out on God because we’re expecting signs and wonders more than we anticipate His words. Am I more enticed by the wonders of God than the Word of God?

Delayed obedience: Delays God’s power and supernatural results. Obedience will yield supernatural results.

She made reference to 1 Kings 19.
