Language of the Spirit
Review:
God speaks 3 primary ways..
1. The Word of God
General and Specific
Logos and Rhema
2. The People of God. God uses spiritual authorities in our lives to give us direction and counsel that is of the Lord
3. The Prompting of the Holy Spirit in our spirit
Matthew 7: 7 -11
*Fear and insecurity will rob us of hearing and receiving from the Father
Here's another good test...
Is what I'm hearing confusing and vague or right to the point? God doesn't like to put us through confusion. "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace" (1 Corinthians 14:33). He won't send mixed messages.Does this answer go against God's Word? If so, it's not God. God will NOT contradict Himself.Would acting out the answer lead you to sin? Those who live by the Spirit will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature (Galatians 5:16).
