Frequency Learning to Hear from God pt3

1Sa 3:1-10 NASB95]

Here are seven conditions and attitudes of hearing from God.

God speaks to us when we are at peace.

V. 2&3 – Both Eli and Samuel were lying down.

[1Ki 19:11-13 NASB95]

Being too busy and preoccupied can hinder us from hearing from God.

God wants us connected with healthy Godly church-based relationships.

V. 3 – the lamp of God. According to Revelation, these represent the church. Samuel had a heathy relationship with Eli and the temple.

Don’t allow the anti-church lie get you out of healthy relationships in church.

God wants us to be in His Presence.

V. 3 – where the ark of God was. The ark presented the presence of God.

[2Ki 3:15-16 NASB95]

When we stay in His Presence through prayer and worship, it opens us up to hearing from God.

God will give us confirmation.

V.4-10 – God called 4 times.

[2Co 13:1 NASB95].

Seek for confirmation from God about what you believe He is saying to you.

God will work with us as we grow spiritually.

V. 7 – Samuel did not know the Lord or His Word.

[Rom 12:2 NASB95]

Renewing our mind to hear from God is a process.

God speaks when we are willing to hear.

V. 9-10 – Speak, LORD

[Jer 33:3 NASB95]

God speaks to us when we seek for His words.

God speaks when we are willing to obey.

V. 10 – for Your servant is listening.

Eerdman’s Bible Dictionary states, “True ‘hearing,’ or obedience, involves the physical hearing that inspires the hearer, and a belief or trust that in turn motivates the hearer to act in accordance with the speaker’s desires.”

God speaks to people who have already given God a “yes.”

God has revealed the conditions and attitudes of hearing Him so we can hear Him frequently not rarely.
