Recognition of His Presence - a podcast by Covenant Word Church

Hearing the voice of the Lord

Why didn’t Jesus closest people to him recognize him? Even right after His resurrection?

How God speaks in the moment

How do you recognize His voice speaking to you?

He’ll get our attention with his presence 

Then he prunes us with his word

There’s a time to grow in that moment (for us) after God speaks

Jn17 If anyone will to do my will he will know what my will is

Pr 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal matters

Lk8:18 

So how do we hear from God

So how do you recognize the presence and voice of God when His presence shows up and how He speaks to you?

Recognize hearing from God

Jesus just feed the 5000

Jesus appeared to His disciples in the midst of a storm

Because of fear they did not recognize Jesus as he approached the ship

Jn20:1-31 Mary Magdalene thought the person she was talking to was the gardener (after His ressurection)

Jn15:15 Now I call you friend..phileos means love

A main key for looking for His presence...Hunger

Hungry enough even though the food isn’t in the form that you like

The Hershey bar melted on your car dashboard example.

Your blessing or provision didn't come in as you expected it

5 examples of where Jesus was not recognized even by his own people after His ressurection

They’re are many things that can only be understood by seeking the presence of God

If anyone who wants to do the will of God?

Why do you speak in parables?

Parables were spoken and written in code

Truth can be hidden from those who have no intention of obeying it

Truth is revealed most often to those who will seek him and obey him

Jn8:18

So pay attention to how you hear. Those who think they do but do not do what I ask, even what they have and what they think they know will be taken away

To those who hear my teachings

As long as we have the desire, he will give us more

Our having revelation depends proportionately with our hunger for it

Stop comparing yourself with yourself or how it used to be

IF you're listening to God, it’s better than you think
