English Translation of Pavel's Sunday Sermon

Pavel: The sermon I want to preach today is titled "How to Hear and Understand
God." How to hear God and how to understand God. Tell me, is this a relevant topic?
We want to hear God, we want to understand God, we want to have clarity from God,
we want to be led by God. But tell me, why do we want this?

Why do we want this?

Why do people in this world not want this? They don't want to hear God. They don't
want to know God. And that's normal somehow. Why do we want to hear God? Why
do we want to understand God, what do you think? Of course, because we are
children of God, and He is our Heavenly Father, Hallelujah. As children, we want to
understand Him as children.

We want to hear Him. As children, we want His will to be done and fulfilled in our lives,
right? That is why we long to know Him, we long to hear Him. That is why sometimes
we yearn when we don't have revelation from God. And that is why we always want to
hear God. We always expect a word from Him.

Are you expecting to receive something from God today? Hallelujah. And I like how the
scripture says in the Gospel of John, chapter ten, verse twenty-eight. Here Jesus
says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. I give them
eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My
hand."

Amen. Jesus says, "My sheep hear My voice." And you know, the first thing I want to
say is that God doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. If God wants to tell you
something, He will tell you and you will hear. He will tell you and you will understand
that God said it. Why? Because sometimes it seems like God said it, but it wasn't God
who said it. And you know, we are in some kind of internal search, lost.

And we think that God, you know, He told you something, then hid and is watching to
see if you will understand if He said it or not.

But God is not like that. If God says something, He makes it clear. He wants you to
hear Him, to understand Him. And the first thing you need to know is that God is a
speaking God. Hallelujah, our God is a speaking God, He is not a silent God. And we
see this on the first pages of the Bible, remember, "And God said, 'Let there be light,'
and it was so." Everything begins with God saying something.
And after that, God constantly spoke to people personally or found people through
whom He spoke and so on and so forth. Remember, in the Epistle to the Hebrews it is
said that God spoke to the fathers in many ways and at many times through the
prophets, remember, and in these last days He has spoken to us through His Son. That
is, God constantly spoke to people, and today God continues to speak.

God continues to speak today. This is the first point. The second point is that God can
speak in different ways. Sometimes it seems to us that God should speak in this way
or that way. But God Himself knows how best to speak to you. God Himself knows how
to reach you and how you will best hear Him, how you will best understand Him.

And God can speak into our lives in different ways. And the third point that needs to
be understood is that God is not a Google search engine where you type in a query,
you know, and you immediately get an answer. God is not a chat where you also type
something and get an answer in a few seconds. No, God has His own times and His
own deadlines.

That's what the scripture says. In Acts 1:7 it says, "It is not for you to know times or
seasons which the Father has put in His own authority." Therefore, sometimes we
want to push God to answer us faster, to tell us faster, and we want Him to tell us
certain things. We can even suggest to Him what we want to hear, but God remains
God.

And our life is in His hand. He is the Lord of our lives, and He has His own times and
His own deadlines. And when He deems it necessary to address us with a certain
revelation, then He addresses us, you understand? And this is what we will talk about
today. How to hear God and how to understand Him. Five things we will talk about
today.

And you know, I will tell you that these are probably five fundamental things, and I
probably won't say much today about how God can address a person and so on. But
we will talk about five specific things in order for us to remember something, to be
refreshed, and to learn. First, how God can speak.

He speaks to us through a person. He speaks to us through a person. In all times, God

chose people to speak on behalf of God. Remember? On behalf of God, and in the
Epistle to the Romans, in the tenth chapter, in the seventeenth verse. There is a
principle that faith comes from hearing, from hearing, remember? The word of God.

And then the apostle continues. "But how can they believe if they are not sent?" That
is, it turns out that God has a certain principle, a certain method of how people should
or can hear His word. He always, at all times, found certain people, addressed them
personally, and then through them addressed people.

And faithful and obedient people addressed people on behalf of God and transmitted
God's will to the nations or to certain people. And we see this from the very beginning.
You know, I somehow noticed that Noah was such a person. For me, Noah, you know,
was always a person who built what? The ark, and all he had to build and do was build
the ark.

But up to a certain point, until I read 2 Peter 2, where it says that Noah was a preacher
of righteousness. And in another place it says that God spoke to people. And it turns
out that Noah, who found favor with God, not only built the ark, but built the ark. And
at a certain time he went to people and preached and told them about salvation.

You understand? And after that we see Abraham. After that we see Isaac, Jacob, and
Joseph, and Moses, and other prophets and kings. And after that we see the Son of
God, who preached, and after that we see the disciples who preached, and in the
New Testament we read about the church, about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And this
is Ephesians 4:11.

Remember, He appointed some to be apostles, others to be evangelists, others to be

prophets, pastors, and teachers. All this is the ministry of what? Tell me.

All this is the ministry of the word. A five-fold ministry, and all this is the ministry of
transmitting God's word to the people. And God Himself established this, and God
Himself established this. Therefore, how can I hear God, how can God address me
today? Everything is very simple. Every Sunday, come to church, God speaks here.
And listen, I am not speaking now, you know, with some kind of pathos and so on,
speaking about myself.

This was established from ancient times. And today it continues. And today God
continues to speak through preachers. Today God continues to touch the heart of the
preacher, and the preacher transmits God's will to the people. This is how it works.
And you know, here, probably, it's worth a little to open the veil of preparation for a
sermon.

Why? Because sometimes we treat something as self-evident. You know, like my

eldest daughter. She just opens the refrigerator, takes a treat, closes the refrigerator,
and leaves, and doesn't even think about how that treat got there. Because behind
that treat there is a whole labor, right? So, behind every sermon,
behind a thirty-forty-five minute sermon, there are many hours of preparation,
friends, many hours of preparation. It is difficult to prepare for a sermon. It is hard. It is
long prayers. It is long work with the text. It is long analysis and reflections. It is the
search for interpretations, commentaries, articles. And again, prayers for the word of
God to touch people.

And after that, long hours of speaking the sermon. You know who my first listeners of
the sermon are? Not you at all. This week, our small team went to the mountains to
scout for our summer trek. And while we were climbing for five hours, I preached
today's sermon, and my first listeners were the mountains, rivers, birds, and they
listened to this word.

That is, the preacher prepares the word, behind the spiritual work, behind the spiritual
message, there is spiritual labor. God guides. And I will tell you, you think to preach in
one direction, the Spirit of God touches you, says preach in another direction. And in
this is obedience, and in this is difficulty. It's not just, you know, "I'll preach about this."

No, it comes to an understanding of what needs to be preached, and then a lot of

work goes into it. Therefore, behind every sermon stands the Holy Spirit, who touches
the heart of the preacher. Do you hear me? Therefore, coming to church, the most
correct state we can have is: "Lord, here is my heart. Tell me Your truth today, sow
Your word in me today."

Amen. Amen. And to some of you, I would advise you to simply cling to the leg of your
mentor, if you have a mentor, because it is simply a huge blessing. If in your life there
is some person, someone who, for some unknown reason, is simply interested in your
life. No one pays him money for it.

Imagine, no one stands over him. He himself suddenly pays attention to you. He
himself suddenly opened his heart to you. He himself suddenly prays for you. He
himself suddenly shares some experience. And it is most wrong if you refuse this or
are refusing this. Why? Because such a person in the church, he is obedient to God,
and this is another mouthpiece through which God can transmit His will into your life.

Therefore, if you have a mentor, cling to his leg and do not let go. This is a blessing for
you. Perhaps it will not always be so. And one more point for mentors. If you are
mentoring someone, be blessed, may God guide you. Just don't give up. Pray for
people, share your experience. Know that you are doing God's work.

You are obedient to God, and God will bless you. Thank you very much. Hallelujah.
Let's give glory to the Lord for mentors.

The Spirit of God speaks through a person, it is important not to miss gatherings and
not to leave your mentor. Hallelujah. Next, how to hear God's word and how to
understand it. The most basic thing is to read the scripture, yes, to read the Bible.
Hallelujah. And for us, yes, as evangelical Christians, this is generally a cornerstone.
These are our foundations, and this is our filter.

This is the foundation of our faith, the written word of God. When we read stories,
when we read the story of Jesus Christ, we see that Jesus knew the scripture very
well. Right? Despite the fact that the Spirit of God was upon Him, that He Himself was
the Son of the Lord. He studied the scripture. He knew the scripture. He spoke to
people with words from the Old Testament.

His first words about Himself. Remember, He took the scroll of Isaiah and said, "The
Spirit of the Lord is upon Me," this is the prophet Isaiah. Further, when He spoke about
Himself, He told the Pharisees, "Search the prophets, search Moses. And everything is
said about Me there." When He fights in the desert with temptation, fights with the
devil. He says, "It is written, for it is written."

He always speaks the words of scripture. Jesus knew the scripture. After that, when
we read how the church grew and multiplied and appeared. We see that the apostles
who preached to the people, they preached on the basis of the written word of God,
on the basis of the written word of God. And therefore, for us, the word of God is
simply the foundation of our lives.

And the very first place from which we can feed on this word of God, feed on this
word of God. It also serves as a filter for us. Because I said that God can speak
through a person, but it is always a mixture of the spiritual and the human. And if you
are not instructed in the word, then something wrong can enter you.

And I like how it is written in the epistle. Excuse me, in the book of Acts, in chapter
seventeen, verse eleven. Here it says that "these were more fair-minded than those in
Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the
Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so."

Is that really so? Is that really so? That is, we build our spiritual life on the basis of
what is written in the Bible. And this is our cornerstone. And in fact, if we somehow
neglect the Bible, and we only like to listen to sermons and come to Sunday service,
then there is no fullness of Christianity in this.
There is spiritual weakness in this. Why? Because this is a direct parallel with the
physical state. Imagine if all week you only eat bread and water, sometimes salt,
bread, water, salt, that's all. But on Sunday you come to a teahouse, you know, and
there's a full table of food, pilaf, shish kebab, salads. You eat all this and tomorrow,
Monday, and again,

bread, water, salt. Tell me, will such a person be physically healthy at all? Of course.
The same thing applies to the spiritual state, if we only feed on Sunday sermons, and
daily during the week we do not turn to the scripture, then we are weak spiritually.
Why? Because the Bible is the very first place from which we should feed on the word
of God.

From where God can speak to us every day. Listen, every day. And this is work. Why?
Because reading the scripture, you need to reflect on it, some things need to be
underlined, some things need to be written down, some things need to be memorized.
And this is right, friends, this is our path. We are children of God, and the word of God
is written for us, so that we may study it, so that we may be filled with it.

And you all remember perfectly the golden verse of the Bible. Remember Joshua 1:8
says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate
in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For
then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." Amen!
Amen. But tell me, who gives Joshua this instruction, this commandment?

Did some person come up to him, some preacher say, "Joshua, you know, there's the
law of Moses, read it, fill yourself with it," and so on, which would also be correct. But
listen, God Himself, who could speak directly to Joshua, and Joshua, who could hear
God. He hears this instruction, and God Himself tells him, "Listen, I will be with you.

Be strong and courageous, but read the Bible every day. Because in it, in the Bible,
there is a word for you every day. And by doing this, you will understand Me and you
will understand My will. You will understand My desires, and then you will be
successful, and then you will act wisely." Amen. What is important to do to hear God
and understand Him? Read the scripture. Hallelujah. We said that God speaks through
a person. We are talking about God speaking to us through the Bible. The third point, I
like it the most.

God speaks to us through desires. God speaks to us through desires. Philippians 2:13,
a golden verse of the Bible, "for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for
His good pleasure." Hallelujah. Tell me, how does desire differ from instruction,
although God also speaks through instructions, but how does desire differ?

Tell me.

Well, it's from within. You want to do it. Imagine how good our Lord is that He
produces desire in you. He inspires you so much that you yourself want to do it.
Hallelujah. For you it may not even be a sacrifice, but you just want to. You say this.
You want to do this. And it's amazing that God guides us by producing desire in us and
gives us the opportunity to realize His will in our lives. He produces, He calls us to
good and Himself produces our desire to do good. And this guides our lives. And the
next step. Again, He gives the opportunity to realize it. He inspires you and also gives
you the opportunity to fulfill this desire.

You might hear someone's need and not react to it immediately. Well, you know,
someone shared something, you listened. But suddenly, some time passes, and
maybe you are praying, or standing in a meeting, or worshiping, or somewhere else.
And you just remember this case, and a desire appears in your heart.

You want to help a person in this need. You know, an operation is needed there. I don't
know. Groceries are needed. For you, there is no moment of sacrifice at all. You just
reach into your pocket, take out the amount. Well, maybe you'll consult with your wife,
that's normal. And often, I'll tell you, in our family, when I have such a desire, when I tell
her the amount, she says, "Let's bless this amount."

And we just bless it without any regret. God produces desire. God produces desire. I
remember. You know, in two thousand seven, when I first believed, as a new convert. I
believed in a church on Pushkinskaya Street. And there was a large gathering then.
And I would come and sit in the back rows and watch everything happen.

And here I am, a new convert, who can't even put two words together without
swearing. I still swore, I still smelled of cigarettes. And I see the preacher preaching,
and in my heart, I remember it as if it were now, a desire appears, "Oh, if only I could
preach like that too. Oh, if only I could preach like that."

And then some more time passes, maybe a year. And being in a home group, people
start asking our mentor. And they ask him, "Do our pastors have higher theological
education?" And you know, I didn't hear anything else. Only one phrase echoed in me:
"Higher theological education." I don't know what that is.

I don't know what it means. I've never heard that before. I'm a street guy. What higher
theological education? But I know for sure. I want higher theological education. I want
this. What should I do? I clung to my mentor. He said, "Go to the pastor and then down
the chain." But listen, years just pass. I remember my first sermon.

There, in the church on Pushkinskaya, I went out to preach. I thought, "How is it, Lord,
through a new convert, into whom You put a desire, You also open up opportunities
for its realization?" You understand how the Lord acts, He puts a desire in you. Well,
He puts a desire in you. You start to want it.

You don't know. Maybe. What is it? How is it? But you just, you just want to do it. You
want to start serving God. You want to pray more. You want to encourage someone?
You want to sacrifice something, and so on and so forth. God puts it in you, He leads
you through desire. For you, it's not even a sacrifice. But what's important to
remember here, friends.

It's important to remember that for God to put His desire in your heart, your heart
needs to be what? Open. Because if you have a closed heart, then this is the state of
Revelation 3:20. Remember, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." That is, the Lord
would be glad to tell you something. He would be glad to put something in you, but
because you are distracted, because you have grown cold, because you don't care
about God.

You are not interested in God and so on and so forth. You are busy with your own life.
God. All He does is continue to knock and wait. When will you open your heart for Him
to show you great and unsearchable things that you have not yet seen. But in order to
be led by the Spirit of God and His desires, for His desire to become your desire, you
need to have an open heart.

My Lord. Here I am. Speak to me and address me. My God, and lead me and guide me.
Amen. Hallelujah. Fourth, how God speaks into our lives. And how we understand God.

God speaks to us through personal revelation. Who has experienced personal

revelation in their life?

And in fact, here, probably, it's worth saying that God will not address you on some
everyday matters, like what socks to wear today, what food to eat today, what shirt to
wear, and so on. That is, when I hear such testimonies, it always seems strange to me
that, you know, the Spirit of God spoke to me this morning, "Wear striped socks." Why
does God need that?

But nevertheless, God speaks to us through personal revelation. And here, precisely,
this can be some kind of instruction. And here there is a difference between desire,
right, and instruction from God. These are different states. And we see in scripture,
when God gives someone an instruction, that God's people often strove to fulfill these
instructions.

Remember Gideon? Remember Moses, who told the Lord, "Find someone else
altogether. I don't want to go to Pharaoh and do everything You call me to do."
Remember the prophet Jeremiah. Remember Jonah, whom the whale swallowed. That
is, God speaks with instructions. And here it is important to understand that
instructions are important to fulfill, right?

Instructions are important to fulfill. And in fact, if God addresses you with instructions,
then most likely you are already mature enough to fulfill them. Most likely you are
mature enough to fulfill them. Because, you know, if you are a baby, a spiritual child,
then you only need to be constantly inspired by desires.

It's like at home with our children. My eldest daughter Gabi, "Let's go wash the dishes,
it's so interesting. Let me put a stool for you," and she jumps up, washes the dishes,
great. "Let's clean up the toys all together," and you know, the kids are interested, but
time will pass, and you will need to give instructions, right? But time also shows that
the children have grown up.

That is, if God addresses you with instructions, it means you are mature enough to be
obedient. This is such a, you know, state of Timothy, about whom Paul says, about
whom Paul says, "Be a soldier of Christ. No soldier acts as he pleases. No, but he acts
as he was ordered to do. Be such a soldier."

So, if God addresses you with instructions, it means you have matured. It means you
are able to make strong decisions in your life, and these instructions can be very
different. For example, to start sacrificing more, to give, to support someone in some
ministry. This can be an instruction to go somewhere.

Or, on the contrary, not to go. You would really like to go somewhere. You see a future
there. You see prospects there, but God inwardly speaks to you. You don't need to go.
I see you here. And this is always a sacrifice for you. This is always a fateful decision to
do or not to do, to obey or not to obey. God can address us with personal revelation.

When we are at a loss, He can address us with comfort. Remember, He tells Abraham,
"Abraham, come out of your tent, look at the sky. You are worried about an heir, but
look how many heirs you will have. Count the stars." Remember, He addresses
Abraham like that. And I like that God is a Comforter, the Holy Spirit. He is a Comforter.
He comforts us. And then once I heard a revelation in my heart. Just words from the
scripture, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you." And then, when I was in the most
difficult circumstances at that moment, it was like a breath of fresh air for me. God is
with me. God is with me. I am not lost. He continues to lead me. He continues to lead
me.

God can give you a revelation simply on a question of yes or no, whether to do
something or not to do something.

To start something or not to start something. But what is important here, friends?
Recently I was talking to a young missionary. He is just starting his missionary activity,
his missionary journey, and he already had a short-term mission. He went to Kenya in
Africa for three months. And now the mission is burning. This is our guy from another
city.

And I asked a question, what did you learn in the mission, even in these three months?
What did you learn from God? And it's interesting, you know what he answered? He
answered, "I learned to listen to God." I learned to listen to God. Why? Because he
says, usually in our churches, how do you believe for something? And let's proclaim
and believe. You know, I'm such a ram.

"Lord, give, You said, 'Ask and you will receive.' Hallelujah." This is right, but sometimes
we forget about another. God is a speaking God. And at some point, it's just important
to listen to God, to learn to hear Him, to learn to stop, to learn to trust God. I will tell
you that God is not a waiter who rushes to you with a tray of your orders, stumbling
over other tables.

But God, who speaks to us with revelations, gives it at the right time. He gives it at the
right time. You would like to rush God. But God has His own times and His own
deadlines, and God teaches you trust, and God teaches you patience. Do you hear
me? God teaches you trust. God teaches you patience. And the most correct thing is
to learn to hear God and try not to make quick steps in some fateful decisions of your
life.

Amen. And the fifth thing, I'm already finishing.

How to understand God, Seryoga.

Through circumstances. Through circumstances. And here it is important to

understand that God is a sovereign God. That is, He is an independent God. God is on
the throne. We sing that, right? God is on the throne. God does not depend on your
opinion or mine. He does not ask us for permission. He does not ask us for advice. He
is God. He expects obedience and expects trust.

And He knows better than us how and where to lead us. But. Tell me, at what moments
do we need clarity from God? When everything is clear, everything is fine. No, clarity
from God and guidance from God. We need it in moments when the situation is
unclear, circumstances are unclear, some dead end, some sharp turn of fate.

You planned one thing, and another happened. Here we need clarity from God. Here
we need guidance from God. It's interesting that in such moments, when you don't
feel God, it's precisely in such moments that God is right next to you, because God
didn't miss you. He didn't blink and miss you. He didn't forget.

"Oh, Pavel has problems, it turns out, how did I miss that? Well, I don't know. Now we'll
have to figure something out." No, God leads us, continues to lead us. He is Lord. He is
on the throne. He is on the throne. Everything is under His control. Listen, everything
is under His control. Everything is under His control.

Well, it's hard to accept when something changes abruptly, like a bolt from the blue.
You didn't plan to get into an accident, and suddenly that day you got into an
accident. Maybe you have problems at work. Maybe you were fired. A client suddenly
refused to work with you, and everything for you is tied to it: apartment rent, life, and
so on. And suddenly it all falls apart, and you just throw up your hands and say, "Lord,
how could this happen?"

How could this happen, especially when you, you know, thought everything was fine
with God. You know, like everything was "chummy." You prayed, you praised. You
understood God. It seemed to you? You experienced peace from God. You didn't even
think that something would happen today, the loss of a loved one, some diagnosis, an
illness.

Something sudden. Well, it suddenly happens, it suddenly happened. Well, listen, all
this says that God remains God, that He is a sovereign God. God will never ask you for
advice. This is difficult to accept. God will not warn you. And He Himself says that "My
ways are not your ways," remember, "and My thoughts are not your thoughts."

But God simply leads through such situations when He deems it necessary to do so.
Because Joseph did not plan that his brothers would take him and sell him into
slavery. You understand, he thought that everything was great for him. His father loved
him. He had a job in the family. He did not plan to give his youth to slavery.
You understand, he didn't plan that he would be betrayed in slavery, and he would
even become a prisoner and spend years in prison. He didn't plan it that way. There
are no such plans in the daily planner today. Not recorded in the calendar. As I
remember, but it's dark humor, of course. They call me and say, "A man died. Can you
hold a memorial service?" And I think, "How did he die without warning? I have so
many things to do."

I left my affairs and went to hold the memorial service.

I mean that God leads us through circumstances. What is important to remember

here, friends. It is important that by leading us through circumstances, God teaches
us trust. Look at what is written in the second epistle to the Corinthians, in the first
chapter, from the eighth verse. The Apostle Paul writes, "Brothers, I want you to know
about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia.

The sufferings that fell to our lot there so far exceeded all our strength that we
despaired even of life. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But
this happened so that we would learn to rely not on ourselves, but on God, who raises
the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us again. On
Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us." Amen. The Apostle Paul
says, "We got into such trouble that we honestly thought, 'It's over for us, the ministry
has come to an end.'" As we would say today at the end, "Be blessed, our ministry has
come to an end." That's what the Apostle Paul says. We thought, "It's over for us, we
smelled death."

But time passed, and we understood. This was for us to learn to rely on God, who can
raise the dead. That is why the same Paul writes in another epistle, "For to me, to live
is Christ," remember, "and to die is gain." What does it mean to say something, to
experience something, to learn something, to go through something.

What is important to remember here. It is important to remember that God remains a

good God. God is good, and this is the truth on which this is the foundation on which
everything rests. God is not a sadist, He is not a traitor.

He is not an experimenter. He is good. He leads us.

And we come to the golden verse. The epistle to the Romans 8: 28. "For to those who
love God." You know this better than me.

"All things work together for good." All things work together for good. All things work
together. Here, of course, it's worth asking. Okay, you're talking about circumstances
that come out of nowhere, that don't depend on me. Something happened. Fine. What
if I myself messed up? I myself stumbled, I myself got into unclear circumstances, into
difficulties myself.

What then? Then the same thing, for those who love God. Called according to His
purpose, according to His will. All things work together for good. What does it mean
"to those who love God"? It means a person who loves God, who continues to follow
God, and God does not expect perfection from us. He knows that we are not perfect,
only Jesus is perfect. He knows that we are capable of making mistakes.

But what does God expect from us? That we will love Him and be attached to Him. And
then, when you love God, no matter what, you are attached to Him, no matter what,
time passes, and you see good from the Lord. And then you understand and analyze
the path you have walked, and from that place where you found yourself, why did you
need to go through this?

I remember in my life, I once told this story. I planned to stay and live in St. Petersburg.
I had ministry, work, friends there. I didn't plan to return to Tashkent at all. And then,
simply, two days later, I was on a plane with my belongings.

What happened? What went wrong? And everything was normal. I praised God,
prayed to God. I thought, "God and I have complete understanding." But He feels me. I
feel Him, and we somehow just... like a bolt from the blue. Well, it's been more than
ten years, and I'll tell you. Leaving St. Petersburg, all I had was my passport and a
backpack.

With underwear.

And looking at myself today, I see. God gave me an amazing ministry. God gave me an
amazing wife and children. God gave me a car. God gave me a home. God gave me
everything I have today. And based on my testimony today, friends, I tell you, God is
good. And God blesses the obedient. And God, who speaks to you today, speaks to
you throughout your life.

He doesn't just want you to hear something, but He wants you to take a step and do
what He calls you to do. God doesn't just want to amuse you. Your spirituality. I hear
God, God leads you. And here your obedience is necessary. Your trust in God.
Hallelujah! He is the Shepherd, and we are the sheep of His flock. He continues to lead
us, and He is not silent.

But it is important to hear and important to listen, and important to be obedient.

Hallelujah, and may God guide us. Let's stand and pray.

Hallelujah. There are also people who need revelation and clarity from God today.

Dear Lord, we love You and praise You, Lord. Thank You for the instruction You gave us
today, God. God. Teach us to hear You and understand You, Lord. And to be led by
Your Spirit, my God, because we are Your children, Lord, and we are not indifferent to
what You say and what You think, my God. I ask You, put Your desires in us, my Lord,
and open doors for us to realize this, Father.

In the name of Jesus Christ, God, comfort our hearts, my Lord, and show us what we
have not yet seen, Lord, and what we have not heard. Father, my God, lead us on Your
path, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, God. I ask You, my God, speak today to those
who thirst for Your revelation, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, my God. Give clarity,
my Lord. Give direction, Lord. Oh God, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Give guidance, Father. Guide, Lord, and bless, my God, in the name of Jesus Christ.
God, Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Lord, Hallelujah! Yes, may we be instructed by You and
taught by You, my Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You for Your word, with
which You spoke to us today. All praise to You, Jesus. Amen.
