00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:06.580
 Thinking today about how the Holy Spirit speaks to us, that the Holy Spirit does speak to us.

00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:17.660
! And it's important that we remember that God wants to speak to us probably more than we tend

00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:29.879
! So learning to recognise this voice of the Spirit means

00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.119
 is an enormous challenge to us,

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:36.219
 but it's an essential thing that we need to learn to do.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:42.359
 There is a voice that we are called to recognise.

00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:46.820
 And the calling of every Christian, every follower of Jesus,

00:00:46.820 --> 00:00:52.079
 is to be open and to grow in that recognition

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.879
 of hearing God speak to us by his spirit.

00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.780
 Because a lot of people will hear us make those kind of claims

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:04.100
 and think, well, come on, hearing God.

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:08.299
 It was the comedian Lily Tomlin that said,

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.219
 when we speak to God, we're praying.

00:01:12.299 --> 00:01:14.939
 When God speaks to us, we're mentally ill.

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:22.040
 Now, in the depths of that joke,

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:26.700
 there's a very serious reality that people will look at

00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:29.620
 anybody that claims to hear from God

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:31.060
 and think that it's madness.

00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:36.460
 To a world that doesn't know God, it is.

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.659
 But, you know, it's always been central to the claim

00:01:41.659 --> 00:01:44.219
 of authentic Christian faith

00:01:44.219 --> 00:01:48.060
 that if you seek to follow Jesus,

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:50.879
 you expect to hear from him.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.019
 Jesus himself said,

00:01:55.259 --> 00:01:57.640
 my sheep hear my voice

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.039
 and they follow me.

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:07.099
 So, in a world of so many competing voices,

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.819
 so many competing claims to truth,

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.539
 in a world of so much noise,

00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:19.759
 learning to hear God's voice

00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.060
 is absolutely essential.

00:02:26.419 --> 00:02:27.180
 But how?

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.159
 Where do we begin with that?

00:02:30.340 --> 00:02:31.560
 Well, that's what we're going to think about

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.859
 over these next few minutes.

00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:36.280
 So, the reality is,

00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:39.700
 is that as we seek to navigate through life,

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:41.520
 all of us,

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:43.180
 and literally all of us,

00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:44.900
 whether we believe in God or not,

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.780
 all of us process competing thoughts,

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:50.960
 competing ideas,

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:52.400
 competing voices.

00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:56.140
 How do we process them

00:02:56.140 --> 00:02:57.920
 and how do we filter out that which,

00:02:58.140 --> 00:02:58.900
 maybe from God,

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.280
 which is of God's Holy Spirit

00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.620
 and that which is not?

00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:05.640
 I think the first thing I want to say

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:09.060
 is that much of the time,

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:11.560
 possibly most of the time,

00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.039
 when we hear God speak,

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.580
 it's not so much in the midst of the dramatic,

00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.560
 but rather in that gentle whisper.

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:30.479
 Somebody called Carolyn Arends

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.159
 writes this.

00:03:34.379 --> 00:03:36.479
 I have friends who hear God

00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.960
 in dramatic ways.

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:40.680
 An audible voice.

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.340
 A vivid mental picture.

00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:46.500
 An unforgettable dream.

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:49.120
 For the most part,

00:03:49.219 --> 00:03:51.199
 these experiences are foreign to me

00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:52.780
 and when I hear about them,

00:03:52.899 --> 00:03:54.019
 I'm intrigued.

00:03:55.619 --> 00:03:56.759
 Sometimes I'm jealous.

00:03:59.079 --> 00:04:01.439
 I confessed my frustration about this

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:02.839
 to my spiritual director,

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.099
 lamenting my thwarted attempts

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.780
 to coax God to speak to me

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.780
 in spectacular modalities.

00:04:11.219 --> 00:04:12.299
 Sure, I told her,

00:04:12.339 --> 00:04:14.959
 I know scripture is the preeminent means

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:16.599
 through which God communicates

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.080
 and that all divine conversation

00:04:19.080 --> 00:04:20.300
 will be steeped in

00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:22.520
 and consistent with the written word.

00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:24.920
 God has revealed much to me

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.300
 in the pages of the Bible.

00:04:27.580 --> 00:04:29.379
 But still, I complained,

00:04:30.260 --> 00:04:31.560
 many Christ followers

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.060
 seem to have scripture

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:34.340
 come alive for them

00:04:34.340 --> 00:04:35.879
 with a vividness

00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.580
 and specificity beyond my ken.

00:04:40.260 --> 00:04:41.660
 What am I doing wrong?

00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.040
 Does God think I'm not ready

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.700
 for anything too direct?

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.340
 Her response

00:04:50.340 --> 00:04:52.560
 stopped me in my tracks.

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:54.980
 She said,

00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.220
 you don't have to try so hard.

00:04:58.580 --> 00:05:00.200
 It's God's responsibility

00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:02.460
 to speak to you

00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:04.240
 in a way that you can hear.

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:08.879
 Her words took me aback

00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.560
 and then made me laugh.

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.639
 Maybe God actually knows

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.540
 my frequency better than I do.

00:05:17.659 --> 00:05:19.240
 See, in my human relationships,

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.779
 anything too theatrical

00:05:20.779 --> 00:05:21.860
 shuts me down.

00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:24.180
 My perceptions,

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.319
 my ideas and my friendships

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.399
 all tend to develop

00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:28.600
 at a slow burn.

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.779
 So why am I surprised

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:32.620
 that the God

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:34.399
 who knows me inside out

00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:35.759
 communicates with me

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:36.779
 on my wavelength?

00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.360
 A gentle but

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.740
 insistently recurring thought.

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.839
 A well-timed word

00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.180
 from a prayerful friend.

00:05:48.740 --> 00:05:50.540
 A fresh bit of context

00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.560
 that illuminates

00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:52.819
 a scripture passage.

00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.240
 An encounter with beauty

00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:57.839
 that backdoors

00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:58.819
 into my consciousness

00:05:58.819 --> 00:06:00.819
 and opens me to wonder.

00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:03.959
 Does that mean

00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:05.040
 that I will never hear

00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:05.800
 from the Spirit

00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:07.019
 in dramatic fashion?

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:08.759
 Not necessarily.

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.240
 Looking at the biblical record,

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:12.219
 God is not only

00:06:12.219 --> 00:06:13.279
 omnipresent,

00:06:14.019 --> 00:06:15.860
 but he's omnilinguistic.

00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:18.759
 Endlessly creative

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.219
 and able to reach

00:06:20.219 --> 00:06:21.120
 each person

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.540
 in just the right way

00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:24.060
 at just the right moment.

00:06:25.719 --> 00:06:27.360
 I should not be surprised

00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:28.279
 if at some point

00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:29.500
 God surprises me.

00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:33.279
 But it does mean

00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.379
 that I can relax

00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:35.600
 and trust

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.480
 that while it's

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:37.620
 genuinely wonderful

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.340
 that some of my friends

00:06:39.340 --> 00:06:41.040
 frequently encounter

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:41.959
 the Trinity

00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.379
 in the whirlwind

00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:44.360
 or the fire,

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.660
 others of us

00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:48.060
 are no less blessed

00:06:48.060 --> 00:06:50.079
 to most often

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:50.920
 meet God

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.360
 in the still,

00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:53.959
 small voice.

00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:59.719
 So how do we discern

00:06:59.719 --> 00:07:00.019
 that?

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:02.259
 How do we discern it?

00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.019
 Whether it's

00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:04.459
 in the fire

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:05.500
 and the thunder

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:06.579
 and the dramatic

00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:07.519
 or whether it's

00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:08.819
 in that gentle whisper.

00:07:11.500 --> 00:07:12.659
 I want to suggest

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:14.319
 that in the broadest sense

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.299
 there are three

00:07:15.299 --> 00:07:16.459
 different voices

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.120
 that will be

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:19.740
 perhaps competing.

00:07:19.740 --> 00:07:21.259
 when I say voices

00:07:21.259 --> 00:07:23.019
 I don't necessarily

00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:24.340
 mean audible voices

00:07:24.340 --> 00:07:25.259
 they might be

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:27.319
 probably most of the time

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:27.740
 they're not.

00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:30.960
 But three voices

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:32.160
 firstly the self

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.360
 secondly

00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:35.540
 the enemy

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:37.280
 and thirdly

00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.639
 God's spirit.

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.279
 how do we recognise

00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:42.759
 the voice

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.479
 of the self?

00:07:43.719 --> 00:07:44.539
 Well the self

00:07:44.539 --> 00:07:46.360
 is that negative

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.300
 part of us

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:49.500
 that will tell us

00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:51.240
 the very selfish stuff

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:51.879
 that will try

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:52.959
 to pull us away

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.360
 from God's voice.

00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.759
 Generally speaking

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.500
 it tends to be

00:07:58.500 --> 00:07:59.279
 quite urgent

00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:00.199
 and impulsive

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.259
 and quite

00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:04.259
 comfort seeking.

00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:06.319
 the self

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:06.680
 that will

00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.920
 put ourselves

00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.839
 before others.

00:08:10.719 --> 00:08:11.519
 That voice

00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:11.800
 that says

00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:12.680
 you deserve this.

00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.800
 It's a voice

00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:16.480
 that doesn't

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.480
 really want to pray

00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:18.759
 it wants to scroll.

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.860
 Jesus warned us

00:08:22.860 --> 00:08:23.500
 about it

00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.620
 when in the

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:26.500
 Garden of Gethsemane

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:26.939
 he said

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:27.659
 that the spirit

00:08:27.659 --> 00:08:28.120
 is willing

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:28.860
 but the flesh

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:29.899
 is weak.

00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:32.559
 So we need

00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:33.159
 to be aware

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.179
 of that dimension

00:08:34.179 --> 00:08:35.659
 of the self

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:39.379
 and to recognise

00:08:39.379 --> 00:08:41.379
 when that voice

00:08:41.379 --> 00:08:42.179
 is actually

00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:42.659
 really just

00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:43.139
 looking out

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:43.799
 for our own

00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:44.139
 needs.

00:08:47.219 --> 00:08:48.139
 On the other hand

00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:48.500
 secondly

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:49.199
 there's the voice

00:08:49.199 --> 00:08:50.120
 what we could call

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:50.439
 the voice

00:08:50.439 --> 00:08:50.959
 of the enemy.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:52.819
 The voice

00:08:52.819 --> 00:08:53.379
 of the enemy

00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:54.799
 is generally

00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.519
 very subtle.

00:08:57.099 --> 00:08:57.779
 It tends

00:08:57.779 --> 00:08:58.179
 to be very

00:08:58.179 --> 00:08:58.659
 condemning

00:08:58.659 --> 00:09:00.579
 and it

00:09:00.579 --> 00:09:01.259
 is very

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:01.939
 deceptive.

00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:04.120
 the voice

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:04.680
 of the enemy

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:05.680
 tends to speak

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:07.140
 in half-truths

00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:07.580
 that are

00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:08.240
 laced with

00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:08.760
 lies.

00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:11.140
 I think

00:09:11.140 --> 00:09:11.760
 back to

00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:12.180
 firstly

00:09:12.180 --> 00:09:12.740
 the story

00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:13.180
 in the Garden

00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:13.540
 of Eden

00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.320
 of Adam

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:14.760
 and Eve

00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:16.040
 in temptation

00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:16.760
 where

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:18.020
 the enemy

00:09:18.020 --> 00:09:19.400
 comes to them

00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:20.500
 and says

00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:20.800
 to them

00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:21.839
 did God

00:09:21.839 --> 00:09:22.719
 really say

00:09:22.719 --> 00:09:25.240
 that you

00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:25.620
 must not

00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:26.279
 eat the fruit?

00:09:28.439 --> 00:09:28.879
 It

00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.019
 questions

00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:31.959
 truth.

00:09:33.959 --> 00:09:34.319
 Or I

00:09:34.319 --> 00:09:34.759
 think of

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:35.419
 Jesus in the

00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:35.919
 wilderness

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.539
 facing temptation

00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:39.240
 from the enemy

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.379
 that says

00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:42.279
 if you are

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:42.779
 the son of

00:09:42.779 --> 00:09:43.059
 God

00:09:43.059 --> 00:09:44.919
 do this.

00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.360
 is it

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:47.719
 the voice

00:09:47.719 --> 00:09:47.959
 of the

00:09:47.959 --> 00:09:48.360
 enemy

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.559
 will always

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.099
 attack

00:09:51.099 --> 00:09:51.860
 identity.

00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:54.319
 It will

00:09:54.319 --> 00:09:54.779
 attack

00:09:54.779 --> 00:09:55.519
 who God

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:55.879
 is

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:57.319
 what God

00:09:57.319 --> 00:09:57.819
 is like

00:09:57.819 --> 00:09:58.500
 and it

00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:58.959
 will attack

00:09:58.959 --> 00:09:59.759
 your identity

00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.679
 in him.

00:10:00.939 --> 00:10:01.299
 So if you

00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:01.959
 ever hear a

00:10:01.959 --> 00:10:02.479
 voice that

00:10:02.479 --> 00:10:03.279
 begins to

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:03.639
 question

00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:04.379
 well God

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:04.959
 doesn't really

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:05.500
 love you

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:05.860
 he's not

00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:06.519
 interested in

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:06.740
 you.

00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:07.659
 You could

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:08.519
 never do

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.000
 great things

00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.419
 for God.

00:10:10.139 --> 00:10:10.419
 You're not

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:10.980
 really a

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:11.279
 Christian.

00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:12.759
 God isn't

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.079
 really that

00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:14.500
 kind.

00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:16.399
 he's not

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:16.899
 really worth

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:17.439
 believing in

00:10:17.439 --> 00:10:17.559
 and it

00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:18.019
 doesn't make

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:18.419
 sense it's

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:18.959
 not credible.

00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:22.419
 Well that's

00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:22.919
 not the

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:23.240
 voice of

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:23.679
 God telling

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.039
 you that.

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:27.500
 You need

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:27.979
 to learn to

00:10:27.979 --> 00:10:28.699
 recognise the

00:10:28.699 --> 00:10:29.059
 voice of

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:29.439
 the enemy.

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.139
 If the

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:36.719
 voice you

00:10:36.719 --> 00:10:37.339
 ever hear

00:10:37.339 --> 00:10:38.120
 is accusing

00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.179
 if it's

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:41.839
 isolating

00:10:41.839 --> 00:10:44.559
 if it's

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:45.239
 manipulative

00:10:45.239 --> 00:10:47.979
 that's

00:10:47.979 --> 00:10:48.439
 not God.

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.079
 The

00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:52.419
 third

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:53.259
 voice

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:53.799
 the

00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:54.799
 voice of

00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:55.039
 God's

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:55.239
 Holy

00:10:55.239 --> 00:10:55.639
 Spirit

00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.779
 is

00:10:58.779 --> 00:10:59.259
 peaceful

00:10:59.259 --> 00:11:01.000
 it's

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:01.479
 clear

00:11:01.479 --> 00:11:01.879
 it's

00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:02.500
 consistent.

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:05.139
 God's

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:05.699
 Spirit will

00:11:05.699 --> 00:11:05.979
 bring

00:11:05.979 --> 00:11:06.639
 conviction

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.039
 but never

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:08.939
 condemnation.

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:10.879
 So

00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.559
 sometimes we

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.239
 may hear

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:13.060
 God speak

00:11:13.060 --> 00:11:13.600
 to us in

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.180
 such a way

00:11:14.180 --> 00:11:14.580
 that we'll

00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:15.139
 say to

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:15.580
 you look

00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:17.200
 this thing

00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:17.799
 going on in

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:18.159
 your life

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:18.600
 right now

00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:19.259
 that's not

00:11:19.259 --> 00:11:19.539
 right.

00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:21.379
 It's not

00:11:21.379 --> 00:11:21.720
 right and

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:22.000
 it's not

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:22.279
 good.

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.139
 But let's

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:24.659
 deal with it.

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:27.519
 it will

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:28.240
 challenge you

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.539
 but it

00:11:28.539 --> 00:11:28.819
 won't

00:11:28.819 --> 00:11:29.579
 crush you.

00:11:31.059 --> 00:11:31.679
 When you

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:31.980
 hear the

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.379
 voice of

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:32.659
 God

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:33.379
 breaking in

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:33.959
 like that

00:11:33.959 --> 00:11:35.379
 it will

00:11:35.379 --> 00:11:35.939
 call you

00:11:35.939 --> 00:11:36.299
 out.

00:11:37.579 --> 00:11:38.399
 If there's

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.139
 something going

00:11:39.139 --> 00:11:39.719
 wrong in

00:11:39.719 --> 00:11:40.259
 your life that

00:11:40.259 --> 00:11:40.899
 needs to be

00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:41.439
 dealt with

00:11:41.439 --> 00:11:42.100
 it will

00:11:42.100 --> 00:11:42.559
 call you

00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:42.939
 out.

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.259
 But most

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:46.980
 importantly it

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:47.419
 calls you

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:47.839
 back.

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:50.439
 Not to

00:11:50.439 --> 00:11:50.799
 condemn.

00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.959
 not just

00:11:52.959 --> 00:11:53.679
 to make

00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.000
 you feel

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.579
 awful about

00:11:54.579 --> 00:11:55.879
 yourself but

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:56.399
 to bring

00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:57.000
 you back to

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.399
 that right

00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:58.179
 relationship with

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:59.779
 God that

00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:00.279
 will give

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.839
 you life in

00:12:00.839 --> 00:12:01.439
 all fullness.

00:12:04.859 --> 00:12:05.359
 God's

00:12:05.359 --> 00:12:05.979
 spirit never

00:12:05.979 --> 00:12:06.399
 pressures.

00:12:07.339 --> 00:12:07.819
 He never

00:12:07.819 --> 00:12:10.039
 manipulates and

00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:10.379
 he never

00:12:10.379 --> 00:12:11.079
 brings shame.

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:14.939
 So if

00:12:14.939 --> 00:12:15.259
 there are

00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:15.779
 those three

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.719
 potentials going

00:12:16.719 --> 00:12:17.240
 on all the

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:17.899
 time then when

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:18.399
 we hear a

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:19.039
 voice but it

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:19.599
 could be the

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:20.800
 selfish instinct

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:21.500
 or whether it

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.040
 could be the

00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:23.480
 voice of the

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.000
 enemy accusing

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.840
 or manipulating

00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.840
 truth or

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.399
 whether it

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:29.019
 could be the

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:30.000
 Holy Spirit of

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:30.440
 God himself.

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:31.100
 How do we

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:31.620
 make those

00:12:31.620 --> 00:12:32.340
 discernments?

00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:34.320
 I don't think

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.639
 there's any

00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:35.399
 formula for

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.840
 this but I'd

00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:37.259
 share the

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:37.840
 following three

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:38.159
 thoughts.

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.620
 Firstly the

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.259
 voice of God

00:12:40.259 --> 00:12:41.200
 will always

00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.500
 only ever

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:44.000
 align with

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:44.420
 the Bible.

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:47.100
 So if

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.379
 there's

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:48.139
 sensing that

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:48.340
 there's

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:48.680
 something that

00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:49.440
 seems to be

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.000
 in tension

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:50.540
 with what

00:12:50.540 --> 00:12:50.900
 scripture

00:12:50.900 --> 00:12:52.400
 teaches it's

00:12:52.400 --> 00:12:53.580
 probably not

00:12:53.580 --> 00:12:53.900
 going to be

00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:54.200
 the voice

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:54.560
 of God

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:56.520
 because God's

00:12:56.520 --> 00:12:58.960
 voice always

00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:00.540
 aligns with

00:13:00.540 --> 00:13:00.960
 scripture.

00:13:02.460 --> 00:13:03.580
 See if we're

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.120
 to grow as

00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:04.780
 Christians we

00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:06.060
 need both

00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:06.860
 God's word

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.500
 and God's

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:08.240
 spirit in our

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:08.680
 lives.

00:13:09.880 --> 00:13:10.280
 There's that

00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:10.840
 old saying

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.980
 if you seek

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.740
 all word

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.520
 but no Holy

00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:15.120
 Spirit then

00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.900
 you dry up.

00:13:17.300 --> 00:13:17.540
 In other

00:13:17.540 --> 00:13:17.920
 words if you

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:18.720
 believe that

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.120
 actually you

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.560
 just read

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:19.960
 the Bible

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:20.279
 but you

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:20.740
 just read

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:21.139
 the Bible

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:21.820
 and there's

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:22.360
 no prayer

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:22.660
 and there's

00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:23.040
 no sense

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:23.639
 of encounter

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.580
 with God

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:25.060
 in a living

00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:25.540
 way.

00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:26.800
 If your

00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:27.560
 approach to

00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:30.120
 knowing God

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.040
 is just a

00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:31.379
 matter of

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:31.860
 reading

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:33.399
 verses and

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:33.899
 verses and

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:34.379
 verses and

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:35.139
 digesting it

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:36.060
 it might be

00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:36.840
 interesting but

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.360
 if it's just a

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.980
 cerebral exercise

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:39.740
 something you do

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.379
 with your mind

00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:43.500
 so much of

00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:43.860
 that you'll

00:13:43.860 --> 00:13:44.560
 just dry up.

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.419
 on the other

00:13:47.419 --> 00:13:47.879
 hand on the

00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:48.500
 other extreme

00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:49.319
 if our

00:13:49.319 --> 00:13:49.959
 approach is

00:13:49.959 --> 00:13:50.839
 just seeking

00:13:50.839 --> 00:13:51.559
 the experience

00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:52.159
 of the Spirit

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.019
 but we

00:13:53.019 --> 00:13:53.539
 ignore the

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:54.239
 word of God

00:13:54.239 --> 00:13:54.879
 if we just

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.519
 go chasing

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:56.199
 after one

00:13:56.199 --> 00:13:56.739
 experience

00:13:56.739 --> 00:13:57.419
 after another

00:13:57.419 --> 00:13:58.279
 after another

00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:59.859
 well you'll

00:13:59.859 --> 00:14:00.299
 just blow

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:00.599
 up.

00:14:04.319 --> 00:14:05.139
 See all

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:06.039
 word but no

00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:07.019
 spirit you dry

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:07.259
 up.

00:14:07.939 --> 00:14:08.500
 If you only

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:09.419
 pursue spirit

00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:10.119
 but never

00:14:10.119 --> 00:14:10.739
 interested in

00:14:10.739 --> 00:14:11.159
 God's word

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:11.659
 then you blow

00:14:11.659 --> 00:14:11.939
 up.

00:14:13.579 --> 00:14:14.459
 It's only

00:14:14.459 --> 00:14:14.939
 when there's

00:14:14.939 --> 00:14:15.679
 word and

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.539
 spirit working

00:14:16.539 --> 00:14:17.159
 in our lives

00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:17.539
 that we

00:14:17.539 --> 00:14:18.600
 grow up.

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:22.819
 And

00:14:22.819 --> 00:14:23.579
 scripture may

00:14:23.579 --> 00:14:24.539
 not always be

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:25.100
 what we want

00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:25.600
 to hear.

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:27.279
 When we read

00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:27.919
 the Bible it

00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:28.839
 can be profoundly

00:14:28.839 --> 00:14:29.500
 disruptive.

00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:30.879
 It can challenge

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.639
 us but it

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:33.419
 will always be

00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:34.059
 what we need

00:14:34.059 --> 00:14:34.559
 to hear.

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.679
 So if we're

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:37.339
 serious about

00:14:37.339 --> 00:14:38.519
 hearing God

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.759
 speak we need

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.819
 to seek God's

00:14:40.819 --> 00:14:41.480
 Holy Spirit

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.200
 as a living

00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:43.060
 encounter in

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.899
 a very real

00:14:43.899 --> 00:14:45.420
 personal way

00:14:45.420 --> 00:14:47.300
 but we must

00:14:47.300 --> 00:14:48.440
 always do so

00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.000
 with scripture

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.620
 as well.

00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:51.639
 Word and

00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:53.180
 spirit if we're

00:14:53.180 --> 00:14:53.899
 to grow up.

00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:56.220
 The second

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:57.659
 thing is

00:14:57.659 --> 00:14:59.220
 that when

00:14:59.220 --> 00:14:59.840
 the spirit

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.639
 speaks we

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:02.379
 can know that

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:03.060
 it's the spirit

00:15:03.060 --> 00:15:04.320
 speaking if

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:05.620
 what is brought

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:06.560
 is peace and

00:15:06.560 --> 00:15:07.019
 clarity.

00:15:07.019 --> 00:15:07.120
 clarity.

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.019
 You see

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:11.139
 God only

00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:11.799
 ever brings

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:12.799
 peace and

00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:13.179
 clarity.

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:13.899
 Yes he may

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:14.939
 disturb us

00:15:14.939 --> 00:15:16.620
 but ultimately

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:17.360
 he brings us

00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:17.939
 back to that

00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:18.439
 sense of

00:15:18.439 --> 00:15:18.819
 peace.

00:15:19.439 --> 00:15:20.379
 If we hear a

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:20.939
 word that's

00:15:20.939 --> 00:15:21.819
 speaking to us

00:15:21.819 --> 00:15:22.579
 and it might

00:15:22.579 --> 00:15:23.059
 be rattling

00:15:23.059 --> 00:15:23.639
 us a bit

00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:24.659
 yes it might

00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:25.120
 be rattling

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.620
 us a bit

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:26.259
 but it's

00:15:26.259 --> 00:15:26.799
 what we need

00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:27.240
 to hear to

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:27.740
 bring us

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.159
 back to

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:28.819
 that peace.

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:32.520
 In 1 Kings

00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:33.140
 chapter 19

00:15:33.140 --> 00:15:33.700
 we read of

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:34.400
 how Elijah

00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:36.160
 expected to

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:36.600
 hear God

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:36.879
 in the

00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.160
 thunder

00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:39.240
 and yet

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:39.960
 God came

00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:40.500
 in the

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:40.820
 whisper.

00:15:43.160 --> 00:15:43.340
 You see

00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:44.080
 God's voice

00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.879
 doesn't yell

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.800
 it settles.

00:15:46.560 --> 00:15:47.020
 God's voice

00:15:47.020 --> 00:15:47.700
 doesn't shout

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:48.260
 to compete

00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:48.960
 but whispers

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:49.640
 to draw you

00:15:49.640 --> 00:15:50.080
 close.

00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:53.320
 So firstly

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.340
 then God's

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:54.820
 voice you will

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.460
 recognise it

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.760
 when it aligns

00:15:56.760 --> 00:15:57.300
 with scripture.

00:15:57.560 --> 00:15:58.220
 Secondly it

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:58.620
 will bring

00:15:58.620 --> 00:16:00.040
 peace and

00:16:00.040 --> 00:16:00.680
 clarity but

00:16:00.680 --> 00:16:03.220
 thirdly God's

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:04.480
 spirit will

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.120
 draw us

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:05.639
 closer.

00:16:07.300 --> 00:16:07.940
 When we

00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:08.440
 hear God's

00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:08.920
 spirit speak

00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:09.279
 to us it

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.700
 may not

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:10.600
 straight away

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:11.200
 draw us

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:11.639
 closer to

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.560
 answers but

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:13.980
 he will

00:16:13.980 --> 00:16:14.840
 draw us

00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:15.500
 closer to

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:15.779
 him.

00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:19.120
 When the

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:19.759
 spirit speaks

00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.259
 to us it

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:21.060
 always leads

00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:21.639
 to a deeper

00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:22.600
 closer connection

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.180
 with God.

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:26.019
 And often

00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:26.660
 perhaps most

00:16:26.660 --> 00:16:27.200
 of the time

00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.040
 that comes

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.699
 with just

00:16:28.699 --> 00:16:29.519
 that thought

00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.459
 that image

00:16:30.459 --> 00:16:32.379
 where we're

00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:33.099
 praying and

00:16:33.099 --> 00:16:33.459
 it just

00:16:33.459 --> 00:16:34.000
 comes back

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.399
 to us

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:34.620
 and it

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:35.120
 comes back

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.439
 to us

00:16:35.439 --> 00:16:35.659
 and it

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:36.120
 comes back

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:36.339
 to us

00:16:36.339 --> 00:16:36.659
 in ever

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:36.939
 greater

00:16:36.939 --> 00:16:37.519
 strength.

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.279
 And it

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.819
 won't have

00:16:39.819 --> 00:16:40.559
 neon flashing

00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.299
 lights saying

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:41.980
 this is God

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.679
 speaking to

00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:42.980
 you.

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:44.360
 But it

00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:44.799
 will come

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.099
 and it

00:16:46.099 --> 00:16:46.620
 will perhaps

00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:47.319
 be confirmed

00:16:47.319 --> 00:16:47.939
 by something

00:16:47.939 --> 00:16:48.419
 that somebody

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.179
 else may say

00:16:49.179 --> 00:16:49.759
 and then you

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.120
 may find

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.439
 yourself

00:16:50.439 --> 00:16:50.759
 reading

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.179
 scripture

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.519
 and you

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:51.939
 will find

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:52.620
 that it

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.079
 seems to be

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:53.600
 confirmed

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.080
 there by

00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:54.379
 something

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:54.700
 that you

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:55.120
 read.

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.840
 So long

00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.080
 as we

00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.500
 handle it

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.220
 with humility

00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:01.580
 and are

00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:02.320
 open to

00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:03.100
 the sense

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:03.460
 that you

00:17:03.460 --> 00:17:03.600
 know

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:03.820
 this

00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:04.600
 sense

00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:04.920
 this is

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:05.100
 God

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:05.539
 speaking

00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.299
 it

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:06.579
 could

00:17:06.579 --> 00:17:07.019
 it

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:07.600
 might not

00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:07.980
 be

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.340
 God

00:17:08.340 --> 00:17:08.740
 speaking

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.059
 it

00:17:09.059 --> 00:17:09.299
 could

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:09.460
 just

00:17:09.460 --> 00:17:09.600
 be

00:17:09.600 --> 00:17:09.740
 the

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:09.980
 human

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:10.299
 self

00:17:10.299 --> 00:17:10.460
 but

00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:11.140
 it

00:17:11.140 --> 00:17:11.440
 just

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:11.680
 could

00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:11.840
 be

00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:12.039
 God

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.440
 speaking

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:12.799
 if we

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.340
 hold

00:17:13.340 --> 00:17:13.519
 that

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:13.819
 biblical

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:14.200
 God

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:14.779
 prayerfully

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.860
 and ask

00:17:15.860 --> 00:17:16.120
 him to

00:17:16.120 --> 00:17:16.539
 confirm

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.899
 that

00:17:16.899 --> 00:17:18.700
 and I

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:18.980
 believe the

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:19.420
 Holy Spirit

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.180
 will confirm

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:20.480
 that

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:21.480
 and bring

00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:21.920
 ever greater

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:22.480
 clarity

00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.139
 you see the

00:17:24.139 --> 00:17:24.680
 key thing

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.420
 is is for

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:25.740
 us to

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.680
 spend time

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.639
 every day

00:17:27.639 --> 00:17:28.519
 in prayer

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:29.779
 and I'm

00:17:29.779 --> 00:17:30.339
 not just

00:17:30.339 --> 00:17:31.039
 talking here

00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.220
 about setting

00:17:32.220 --> 00:17:33.519
 aside a

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:34.379
 specific time

00:17:34.379 --> 00:17:35.000
 although that

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:35.779
 is vital

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:37.099
 that we

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:37.980
 set time

00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:38.859
 a day to

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:39.779
 focus on

00:17:39.779 --> 00:17:40.119
 prayer

00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.099
 but the

00:17:42.099 --> 00:17:42.700
 purpose of

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.460
 having that

00:17:43.460 --> 00:17:44.539
 time that we

00:17:44.539 --> 00:17:45.399
 set aside to

00:17:45.399 --> 00:17:45.779
 read the

00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:46.299
 Bible and to

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:47.200
 pray is

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:48.740
 not that we

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.319
 then have this

00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:50.399
 compartmentalised

00:17:50.399 --> 00:17:51.039
 moment where

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.059
 we do God

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:53.180
 for ten minutes

00:17:53.180 --> 00:17:53.839
 and then we

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:54.299
 get on with

00:17:54.299 --> 00:17:55.019
 everything else

00:17:55.019 --> 00:17:56.379
 but rather

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:57.220
 that it might

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:58.220
 energise and

00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:58.799
 breathe into

00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.440
 the whole of

00:17:59.440 --> 00:17:59.919
 the rest of

00:17:59.919 --> 00:18:00.299
 the day

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:02.119
 such that

00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:02.579
 through the

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:03.079
 rest of the

00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:03.819
 day we

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.319
 are practicing

00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:05.899
 the presence

00:18:05.899 --> 00:18:06.399
 of God

00:18:06.399 --> 00:18:07.579
 seeking his

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:07.879
 presence

00:18:07.879 --> 00:18:08.460
 seeking his

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:08.859
 voice in

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.180
 the midst

00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:09.639
 of all of

00:18:09.639 --> 00:18:09.940
 the most

00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:10.480
 mundane

00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:11.500
 tasks that

00:18:11.500 --> 00:18:12.079
 we face

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:13.139
 listening to

00:18:13.139 --> 00:18:13.460
 him in

00:18:13.460 --> 00:18:13.779
 every

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:14.379
 interaction

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:14.980
 in every

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:15.599
 conversation

00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:16.099
 in all

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:16.379
 that we

00:18:16.379 --> 00:18:16.719
 do

00:18:16.719 --> 00:18:18.199
 expectant

00:18:18.199 --> 00:18:19.240
 to hear

00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:19.559
 from his

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.319
 Holy Spirit

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.179
 you know

00:18:22.179 --> 00:18:22.579
 there's that

00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:23.099
 old saying

00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:23.419
 isn't there

00:18:23.419 --> 00:18:23.699
 you can

00:18:23.699 --> 00:18:24.419
 become too

00:18:24.419 --> 00:18:25.619
 heavenly minded

00:18:25.619 --> 00:18:26.159
 to be of

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:27.159
 any earthly

00:18:27.159 --> 00:18:27.579
 good

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:30.019
 well actually

00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:30.480
 the opposite

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.059
 is true

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:32.839
 the problem

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.439
 is not being

00:18:33.439 --> 00:18:34.000
 heavenly minded

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:34.539
 enough

00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:36.459
 that it is

00:18:36.459 --> 00:18:36.939
 when we are

00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:37.759
 truly heavenly

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.179
 minded

00:18:38.179 --> 00:18:39.099
 when we are

00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:39.659
 seeking the

00:18:39.659 --> 00:18:40.159
 presence of

00:18:40.159 --> 00:18:40.319
 God

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:41.299
 right here

00:18:41.299 --> 00:18:41.899
 right now

00:18:41.899 --> 00:18:42.619
 in the midst

00:18:42.619 --> 00:18:42.959
 of the

00:18:42.959 --> 00:18:43.439
 ordinary

00:18:43.439 --> 00:18:45.199
 that is

00:18:45.199 --> 00:18:45.439
 we are

00:18:45.439 --> 00:18:45.779
 in that

00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:46.419
 poise to

00:18:46.419 --> 00:18:46.779
 hear what

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.019
 he may

00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:47.339
 have to

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:47.719
 say to

00:18:47.719 --> 00:18:48.059
 us

00:18:48.059 --> 00:18:50.299
 and it

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:51.619
 calls for

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:52.379
 discernment

00:18:52.379 --> 00:18:53.319
 I'm going to

00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:53.759
 share one

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:54.419
 last image

00:18:54.419 --> 00:18:54.719
 with you

00:18:54.719 --> 00:18:54.919
 and then

00:18:54.919 --> 00:18:55.039
 we are

00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:55.299
 going to

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:55.579
 pray

00:18:55.579 --> 00:18:58.279
 it comes

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:58.639
 from the

00:18:58.639 --> 00:18:58.899
 fourth

00:18:58.899 --> 00:18:59.439
 century

00:18:59.439 --> 00:18:59.819
 monk

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:00.179
 John

00:19:00.179 --> 00:19:00.679
 Cassian

00:19:00.679 --> 00:19:03.559
 and

00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:04.899
 John

00:19:04.899 --> 00:19:05.239
 Cassian

00:19:05.239 --> 00:19:05.859
 said that

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:06.599
 we

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:08.159
 the primary

00:19:08.159 --> 00:19:08.879
 mark of

00:19:08.879 --> 00:19:09.599
 spiritual

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:10.179
 maturity

00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:10.679
 is to

00:19:10.679 --> 00:19:11.179
 become

00:19:11.179 --> 00:19:13.019
 an

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:13.699
 increasingly

00:19:13.699 --> 00:19:14.559
 prudent

00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:15.079
 money

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.619
 changer

00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:18.939

 quite

00:19:21.679 --> 00:19:22.000
 common

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.259
 for there

00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:27.159
 changers

00:19:27.159 --> 00:19:27.579
 if they

00:19:27.579 --> 00:19:27.799
 were to

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.439
 be prudent

00:19:28.439 --> 00:19:28.959
 had to

00:19:28.959 --> 00:19:29.439
 learn

00:19:29.439 --> 00:19:30.079
 how to

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:30.679
 discern

00:19:30.679 --> 00:19:32.799
 the real

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:33.219
 thing

00:19:33.219 --> 00:19:34.199
 from a

00:19:34.199 --> 00:19:34.500
 fake

00:19:34.500 --> 00:19:36.679
 and if

00:19:36.679 --> 00:19:36.919
 you were

00:19:36.919 --> 00:19:37.399
 a prudent

 money

00:19:38.740 --> 00:19:39.179
 changer

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:41.000
 then you

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.380
 were so

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:41.880
 familiar

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.640
 with what

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.380
 a real

00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:43.920
 coin was

00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:44.240
 like

00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:44.700
 that the

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.140
 moment a

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:45.580
 fake one

00:19:45.580 --> 00:19:46.080
 dropped into

00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:46.580
 the palm of

00:19:46.580 --> 00:19:47.019
 your hands

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:47.360
 you could

00:19:47.360 --> 00:19:48.480
 tell whether

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:48.820
 it was the

00:19:48.820 --> 00:19:49.299
 wrong metal

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:49.680
 the wrong

00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.000
 weight

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.259
 or the

00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:50.420
 wrong

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:51.019
 engraving

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:53.360
 bring a

00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:54.039
 slightly more

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:54.980
 up to date

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.460
 example

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:55.960
 I knew

00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:56.200
 somebody

00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:56.680
 worked for

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.000
 Apple

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.759
 and apparently

00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:00.200
 they were

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.820
 so used to

00:20:00.820 --> 00:20:01.160
 handling

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:01.920
 iPhones

00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:02.580
 all day

00:20:02.580 --> 00:20:03.640
 that somebody

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:04.100
 once gave

00:20:04.100 --> 00:20:04.500
 them a

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.320
 just was

00:20:05.320 --> 00:20:05.840
 really excited

00:20:05.840 --> 00:20:06.220
 about this

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:06.900
 really super

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:07.320
 cheap

00:20:07.320 --> 00:20:08.820
 iPhone

00:20:08.819 --> 00:20:09.700
 they bought

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:09.899
 in the

00:20:09.899 --> 00:20:10.319
 marketplace

00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:10.839
 and they

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.099
 showed it

00:20:11.099 --> 00:20:11.319
 to him

00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:11.460
 and the

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:11.819
 moment they

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.019
 put it

00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:12.179
 in his

00:20:12.179 --> 00:20:12.460
 hand

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:12.700
 he said

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.019
 that's not

00:20:13.019 --> 00:20:13.279
 a real

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:13.659
 iPhone

00:20:13.659 --> 00:20:14.419

00:20:14.939 --> 00:20:15.220
 yeah but

00:20:15.220 --> 00:20:15.460

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:15.720
 a real

00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:15.919
 one

00:20:15.919 --> 00:20:16.399
 yeah but

00:20:16.399 --> 00:20:17.259
 it says

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:17.700
 it came all

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.179
 boxed up

00:20:18.179 --> 00:20:18.779
 and you switch

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.079
 it on

00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:19.599
 it's all got
