The scene changes
commanded them
Read together what Jesus says in John 14.15, 21 and 23.
His love for us > our love for Him > we obey > we are blessed
How do we hear His voice?
It is the voice of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit
4Following Jesus: Lesson Five
If you obey that voice, it becomes stronger and clearer. If you ignore it, it fades away. As you soak yourself in the Word of God and in prayer and praise, and as you speak in tongues as much as possible, you become more and more sensitive to Jesus speaking to you by His Spirit.
5Following Jesus: Lesson Five
Many times we hear His voice
1) As we read the Bible2) As we pray3) As we listen to preaching or through a song4)Through the advice of a friend5) As we lie awake at night and all else is
quiet!6)And more! Anywhere, anytime! If you keep your
heart open, He can speak to you!
That is what this Christian life is all about – a real life relationship, friendship
6Following Jesus: Lesson Five
Learning to pray
Our Father, who art in heavenHallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Let’s pray also that we will hear His voice more and more clearly this week.
Memory verseIf anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.(John 14.23)
