We have been talking & praying about evaluation & reflection. Up until now in your praying you should have been receiving various words, pictures, or vision from God.
As a brief review on how God speaks…. What I call “God Language”
What does God’s voice sound like?
· Word of God
· Mental pictures on the screen of your mind
· Dreams, visions
· Sensory- experience the emotions of God; sense God through your emotions
· Hear the voice of God on the inside (inward witness or impression)
· A knowing on the inside
What is Your God Language: Discovering How God Specifically Speaks to Me?
These are the primary ways God may speak to you; you may have a mix of all (ie. You may be right handed; but you are good at using your left for certain things….)
o Hearer
o Feeler/Sensor
o Seer
o Knower

Prayer Points & Declarations
· I hear the voice of God clearly and the voice of a stranger I will not and cannot follow (John 10:4-5).
· I know Him. I see Him. I follow Him. It is so easy to hear the voice of God. It is my nature to hear God speaking (John 14:17).
· I resist and rebuke fear of hearing God and getting closer to Him. I reject shame. I am accepted and beloved. I am worthy to be called a child of God (Eph 1:6; Isaiah 41:10).
· I resist the enemy attempting to infiltrate my ability to hear and know God clearly. I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind, will and emotions (Revelation 12:11; Exodus 12:13-14; 1 John 1:7).
· My hearing is blessed. My thought-life is blessed. My dream-life is blessed. I am blessed. (James 1:17; Jerimiah 17:7-8; John 1:16; Psalm 1:1-3; 2 Corinthians 9:8)
Accountability
· We are accountable to God for what we hear
· We must steward the word properly
Proper Stewardship
· Write what you hear down
· Record, rehearse, & speak the Word over yourself
· Find scriptures & accounts in the Word which strengthen your faith
· Pray for more clarity (detail, specificity, timing)
· Ask God for confirmation
· Be open to changes & variations of the Word which might come from God as you get more clarity
· Use it as a starting point for preparation (invest in yourself). Study to show yourself approved.
Timing/Seasons
· Kairos Timing
· Chronos Timing
Kairos vs. Chronos Time
Kairos Time (Mark 1:15; John 7:6)
Used 86x in NT
Proper or opportune time for action
Moment or season
Chronos Time (Acts 13:18; 27:9)
Used 53x in NT
A specific amount of time (ie. day or hour)
· There is a specific season/timing in God when things are supposed to happen in your life.
· Must seek God for His timing or Kairos= God’s result
· Must have faith in the timing of God
Prayer Points & Declarations
· I welcome God’s accountability. There is safety in a multitude of counsel (Proverbs 11:14)
· I walk in God’s wisdom, revelation and understanding (Proverbs 4:6-7)
· I commit to do what is necessary to be a good steward over what God has given me. I do not take God’s Words or hearing God’s voice for granted (1 Peter 4:10; 1 Corinthians 4:2)
· I study to show myself approved (2 Timothy 2:15)
· I understand the timing and the seasons of God. I move in sync with God. I do not move before God or after God says move. I am in perfect harmony for God’s Kairos timing in my life (Ephesians 5:15-16).
