Continuing from last week's message, the clear and present reality is that hearing the Voice of God can be difficult for all Christians. This has been true in ancient days and remains true in these modern times. So, follow along in this sermon as Pastor Josh takes a practical look at recognizing the voice of God via audibility, thoughts, and sense.

John 10:27 - Jesus’ sheep hear His voice and He knows us and guides us. Is His Voice the Voice you are listening to? Are you led, instead, by a stranger? Consider this sermon on hearing God’s voice, and following Him. Be influenced by Jesus, not the Stranger.

This message is about identifying who sits on your heart’s throne. The reality is that in fasting we can miss the target. So, check your gauges. Who’s on the throne of your heart? Do I have peace in this season? As I give up this or that food, what is Jesus speaking to me?

Continuing in the Depletion Repletion series, we are pointed to this truth, “The repletion that is the Holy Spirit being poured out, comes from letting go of my agenda and taking on His.” What is poured out of you that brings new life and filling?

Depletion is reduction in the number or quantity of something. Repletion is the condition of being filled up or overcrowded. How do these two work in tandem in the context of fasting? Consider Psalm 131:2, what does it mean to calm and quiet a soul? Listen to this message to challenge your understanding and receive encouragement when you fast.

Resting in Isaiah 9:6-7, Pastor Paul entices the congregation to be with Immanuel. "This yes to God, needs to be a 'You, Father, know better than I.'" Have you considered the passage "the government will rest on his shoulders?" Does that also mean the governance of your life? How about your heart? Are there areas that are still closed? Consider that "Immanuel" is the answer to all closed doors.

It is a privilege of parents to name their children. In the prophecies of Israel, many names are given to children foretelling various events. Consider Immanuel, God is with us. Near a thousand years later, Jesus is so. In this Christmas season, consider the many names of Jesus as a declaration of witness to this world; Prince of Peace, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Wonderful.

Good tidings, the good news, the Gospel. This is God's comfort for all mankind. Have you received Him? Supernaturally we become enveloped in the Holy Spirit when we experience God's comfort. Are you in need of God's comfort? Listen in to deepen your understanding.
