(075) Hearing God and Discipleship with Murray Newman - a podcast by Tania Harris

There’s a lot of talk around discipleship at the moment, but what does discipleship actually look like? We know it’s all about following Jesus. But if Jesus isn’t here, how do we follow? 

This is where the Holy Spirit comes in. Before Jesus left the planet, he said that the Spirit would come to remind us of everything Jesus said and then to speak about things to come (John 14:26, 16:13). So to follow Jesus is to heed his continuing voice, the Holy Spirit.In this episode, we talk to Prophet and Pastor Murray (Muz) Newman about the relationship between hearing God's voice and discipleship. We learn that hearing the Spirit and discipleship is essentially about  building intimate relationship with God."There’s no topic that’s taboo. There’s no topic that the Lord won't talk to you about.”

Listen to Muz and Tania talk about:How everyone experiences the voice of the Spirit differently. Therefore, discipleship involves helping people  recognise how God speaks to them.
How a sense of love and concern for others led to the development of the gift of prophecy in Muz’s life. Hearing God involves"keeping our eyes open to what God is saying and doing in other people.”
The need to “exercise” our spiritual senses; it’s “lots of practice doing a very simple thing.” “…that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” (Hebrews 5:14)The exposing God! In our walk with Holy Spirit, there’s no topic that’s taboo.

“Holy Spirit gets under our skin to transform us from the inside out."Muz talks about an everyday example of what this looks like in his own life:

In the midst of our problems, ask God, “what are you doing in the midst of this?”Hearing God’s voice involves following through and acting on what we've heard.
What stops us from following the Spirit? Pride, unbelief and maybe, a motorbike…
