00:00:24.576 --> 00:00:26.396
I Look Down For you.
00:00:26.396 --> 00:00:31.791
I look down for you In the middle of my pain.
00:00:31.791 --> 00:00:47.353
I reach down farther, calling out your name Always.
00:00:47.353 --> 00:00:54.311
I'm searching For a long lost piece of heart.
00:00:54.311 --> 00:01:06.308
I sought and found you Like a fire in the deepest parts.
00:01:08.771 --> 00:01:11.896
I will hold on to you.
00:01:11.896 --> 00:01:23.150
No matter what comes, I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:01:24.492 --> 00:01:26.174
No night can last forever.
00:01:26.174 --> 00:01:29.629
No storm will tear us apart.
00:01:29.629 --> 00:01:39.481
I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:01:39.481 --> 00:02:35.019
High on the mountain, blinded by the rain, so tired of climbing, heavy with the blame, I heard a voice Speaking out my name Lay it all down, lay it all down, everything.
00:02:35.019 --> 00:02:45.105
I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:02:45.105 --> 00:02:53.831
I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:02:53.831 --> 00:03:00.562
No night can last forever, no matter what comes.
00:03:00.701 --> 00:03:09.284
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, I will hold on to you.
00:03:51.361 --> 00:03:53.508
No matter what comes.
00:03:55.943 --> 00:04:01.367
I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:04:01.367 --> 00:04:05.170
No night can last forever.
00:04:05.170 --> 00:04:08.007
No storm will tear us apart.
00:04:08.007 --> 00:04:17.781
I will hold on to you, no matter what comes.
00:04:35.055 --> 00:04:50.487
Welcome to In the Field Worship Radio, an online radio station dedicated to impacting people's lives in our local and global communities by helping them be still so they may listen to God while resting in Him.
00:04:50.487 --> 00:04:58.911
I am your host, christi Richardson, founder of In the Field Worship Radio and In the Field Audio Scriptures.
00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:03.084
In each sermon, you will hear a different global pastor.
00:05:03.084 --> 00:05:11.216
You will learn about each pastor, where they are, from their unique background and their path to ministry.
00:05:11.216 --> 00:05:20.995
Essentially, you will hear their sermons and feel the Spirit through their words in such a way that you won't hear anywhere else.
00:05:20.995 --> 00:05:25.971
Having these pastors join us and share their message is an honor.
00:05:25.971 --> 00:05:50.196
Within the Field Worship Radio, pastor Jones Breedius is joining us with a new message, so we are excited to hear what the Lord has put on his heart to share with us this Sunday.
00:05:50.196 --> 00:06:02.069
If Pastor Jones is new to you, you may listen to his other sermon, operating from Heaven on our website at inthefieldaudioscripturesorg.
00:06:02.069 --> 00:06:14.153
You can also read about him and his ministry in Merigo, haiti, and reach out to him on social media or by email with comments, questions and prayer requests.
00:06:14.153 --> 00:06:19.452
Pastor Jones has provided us with an update since he was last with us.
00:06:19.452 --> 00:06:26.391
He and his ministry leaders helped 10 people accept Jesus as their personal Savior.
00:06:26.391 --> 00:06:31.512
Three of them go to his church and the rest go to another local church.
00:06:31.512 --> 00:06:37.853
People in the local community like appearances, so they go to the other local church.
00:06:37.853 --> 00:06:47.870
As Pastor Jones' church is still having services under a tent, the tent is very old and when it rains they can't use it.
00:06:47.870 --> 00:06:57.375
A local tent in his area is available to rent, with the owner requesting $2,500 per year for it.
00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:10.911
If you or maybe your church would like to sponsor Pastor Jones so he may continue to preach the gospel to his congregation, you may do so by holding a church or community fundraiser.
00:07:10.911 --> 00:07:21.495
Contact me, christy Richardson, at area code 843-212-6545.
00:07:21.495 --> 00:07:34.514
Again, that is 843-212-6545 to make financial arrangements to get the funds to Pastor Jones.
00:07:34.514 --> 00:07:42.523
Digital event fundraising can also be set up for you or your church, or even peer-to-peer fundraising.
00:07:42.523 --> 00:07:48.451
More information can be found at inthefieldaudioscripturesorg.
00:07:48.451 --> 00:07:54.913
Click on Donate or on Fundraising Campaign for more information.
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:05.769
Various fundraising platforms are now available for you and your church to add to your websites and to share on social media, making fundraising simple in a digital community.
00:08:05.769 --> 00:08:22.406
As you can hear, the ministry is seven days a week and I hope it inspires you to reach out to the Lord in prayer for pastors serving their communities worldwide, whether they are serving in contemporary church buildings or preaching under a tent.
00:08:22.406 --> 00:08:33.354
Pastor Jones is another pastoral example of taking the risk to preach God's word, no matter where it is and no matter what it takes.
00:08:33.354 --> 00:08:46.447
I know you are ready to listen to today's new message, so I hope you enjoy today's sermon titled how God Speaks with Pastor Jones Breedius.
00:08:55.599 --> 00:09:02.246
Today I'm very happy to talk to you about how God speaks.
00:09:02.246 --> 00:09:10.062
There are many different ways God speaks to us.
00:09:10.062 --> 00:09:24.374
Ways God speaks to us and we all of them will see that he is speaking to us constantly.
00:09:24.374 --> 00:09:41.058
And the book of Job, after he has complained that God has been silent, job friends, elihu says God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it.
00:09:41.058 --> 00:09:46.542
He speaks in dreams and visions of the night.
00:09:46.542 --> 00:10:01.721
When deep sleep falls on people as they lie in bed, he whispers and they hear and terrifies them with his warning.
00:10:01.721 --> 00:10:07.557
He causes them to change their minds.
00:10:07.557 --> 00:10:09.961
He keeps them from quiet.
00:10:09.961 --> 00:10:21.284
Job 33, verse 14, down through to 16, to 17.
00:10:36.789 --> 00:10:39.535
Of God and knowing how he speaks is essential for all the believers.
00:10:39.535 --> 00:10:43.222
Jesus said in John 10, verse 27, 28,.
00:10:43.222 --> 00:10:57.256
My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish.
00:10:57.256 --> 00:11:02.922
Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
00:11:02.922 --> 00:11:16.841
Those who hear God's voice are those who belong to him, those who have been saved by his grace through faith and the Lord Jesus.
00:11:16.841 --> 00:11:24.902
These are the sheep who hear and recognize God's words.
00:11:24.902 --> 00:11:27.173
We must belong to him.
00:11:27.173 --> 00:11:30.855
Only our God can speak to us.
00:11:30.855 --> 00:11:36.154
All the other gods of the nations are just idols.
00:11:36.154 --> 00:11:38.356
They are dead.
00:11:38.356 --> 00:11:40.340
They have no life.
00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:45.225
They are simply made up from man's imagination.
00:12:07.875 --> 00:12:18.628
So Elisha and the Baal prophets is a classic example when you read, for example, when you read 1 Kings 18, verse 16 to 48.
00:12:18.628 --> 00:12:19.889
Why does God speak to us?
00:12:19.889 --> 00:12:20.751
Because we are sons.
00:12:20.751 --> 00:12:29.881
Now we are sons of God.
00:12:29.881 --> 00:12:41.825
A good father will always speak to his children because he does not want us to be ignorant of his instructions.
00:12:43.091 --> 00:13:04.730
So he gives us his word and his holy spirit Because he loves us, because he loves us for Christ, so loved the church that he gave himself for it.
00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:10.553
And how does God speak?
00:13:10.553 --> 00:13:13.799
God speaks through His Word.
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:21.921
The number one way of hearing God is through His Word.
00:13:21.921 --> 00:13:26.278
All other ways are subject to His Word.
00:13:26.278 --> 00:13:38.932
The beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the word was God, according to John 1, verse 1.
00:13:38.932 --> 00:13:51.144
All scriptures is God breath and is useful for teaching, correcting and training in white truth and white truthness.
00:13:51.144 --> 00:14:11.139
In 2 Timothy 3, verse 16, with the scriptures, if you want to heal God, we'd study and meditate on his word.
00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:15.688
We'd study and meditate on his word.
00:14:15.688 --> 00:14:22.385
We should test every other way by his word.
00:14:22.385 --> 00:14:29.303
Does it concur with the Bible?
00:14:29.303 --> 00:14:31.049
If not, it's not God.
00:14:31.049 --> 00:14:44.746
The second way that God, the second way God speaks to us, is through his ministry.
00:14:44.746 --> 00:15:09.880
In Ephesians 4, verse 11 to 12, the Bible says he himself gives some to be a pro, to be apostles, some to be prophets, some even evangelists and some pastors and teachers.
00:15:09.880 --> 00:15:25.456
For the keeping of the sense, ministry gifts are put in the body to bring God's word and God's way to God's people, to supplement personal study and prayer.
00:15:25.456 --> 00:15:36.366
God also speaks by his spirit.
00:15:36.366 --> 00:15:49.142
Hearing the voice of God is as natural as an idea that comes into your mind.
00:15:49.142 --> 00:15:51.328
In fact, that's often exactly how he speaks.
00:15:51.328 --> 00:15:53.393
That's often exactly how he speaks.
00:15:53.393 --> 00:16:09.350
A thought occurs to you something you've never thought of before, and it leads you to some kind of action that either answers a prayer or helps someone who is in trouble.
00:16:09.350 --> 00:16:13.879
God speaks to us in the natural moments of life.
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:37.725
In John 14, verse 26, the scripture says but the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and remind you of all I have said to you.
00:16:37.725 --> 00:16:45.864
So God speaks through others, by prophecy.
00:16:45.864 --> 00:16:54.802
Prophesy usually is confidence, what God has already said.
00:16:54.802 --> 00:16:59.298
It is always subject to the word of God.
00:16:59.298 --> 00:17:24.407
Isaiah 50, verse 40 and 5 says the Lord, god, has given me the tongue of the land that I should know how to speak a word and season to him that's weary.
00:17:24.407 --> 00:17:36.567
Prophesied speaks edification and exhortation and comfort me.
00:17:36.567 --> 00:17:43.065
1 Corinthians 14, verse 3.
00:17:43.065 --> 00:17:45.108
God speaks equally through dreams and visions.
00:17:45.108 --> 00:17:49.144
God speaks to us through our dreams.
00:17:49.144 --> 00:17:55.932
In Joel 2, verse 28,.
00:17:55.932 --> 00:18:05.182
The Bible says your sons and your daughters shall prophesize, your old men shall dream and your young shall see visions.
00:18:05.182 --> 00:19:02.377
For example, when you consider the case of Joseph Joseph sun In Genesis 36, verse 7, down to 11, the scripture says on this passage there we were bearing sheaves in the field, we hold my sheaves.
00:19:02.377 --> 00:19:17.521
My sheaves arose and also stood up white, and indeed the sheaves stood all and bowed down to my sheaves.
00:19:17.521 --> 00:19:27.380
And his brother said to him Shall you indeed win over us or shall you indeed have dominion over us?
00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:34.702
So they hated him even more for his dream and for his words.
00:19:34.702 --> 00:19:56.221
Then he dreamed still another dream and he told it to his brothers and said Look, I have dreamed another dream and this time they saw the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.
00:19:56.221 --> 00:20:01.395
So he told it to his father and his brothers.
00:20:01.395 --> 00:20:09.996
And his father rebuked him and said to him what is this dream that you have dreamed?
00:20:09.996 --> 00:20:22.955
Shall your mother and I and your brothers and they come to bow down to the earth before you and his brothers invite him.
00:20:22.955 --> 00:20:29.018
But his father kept the matter in mind.
00:20:32.332 --> 00:20:38.281
You can also consider the chief butler's dream in Genesis 40, verse 9 to 12.
00:20:38.281 --> 00:20:56.085
Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream, the metal statue representing four world empires in chapter 3, verse 21 to 45.
00:20:56.085 --> 00:21:08.544
And Jesus talked in an audible voice.
00:21:08.544 --> 00:21:15.374
For example, ten commandments from Mount Sinai, exodus 20, chapter 20.
00:21:15.374 --> 00:21:17.615
The down to verse 10.
00:21:17.615 --> 00:21:43.029
Saul on the road to Damascus.
00:21:43.029 --> 00:21:47.689
Saul, saul, why are you persecuting me?
00:21:47.689 --> 00:21:53.289
Acts 9, verse 20, verse 3 to 6.
00:21:53.289 --> 00:21:58.954
And then he has to go to Saul to pray for him and recover his blindness.
00:21:58.954 --> 00:22:05.934
Acts 9, verse 10 to 18.
00:22:05.934 --> 00:22:09.494
So God speaks face to face.
00:22:09.494 --> 00:22:18.938
For example, moses on the mountain in the text with Abraham and Genesis 18.
00:22:18.938 --> 00:22:24.798
God speaks in a small voice.
00:22:25.910 --> 00:22:33.398
Elijah in the cave in 1 Kings 19, verse 11 to 12.
00:22:33.398 --> 00:22:51.171
And he said go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord, and behold, the Lord passed by.
00:22:51.171 --> 00:23:01.798
And behold, the Lord passed by and a great and strong wind went the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks.
00:23:01.798 --> 00:23:26.951
Before the Lord was not, and they went and they went and they went and after they went, an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
00:23:26.951 --> 00:23:28.873
After the after the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.
00:23:28.873 --> 00:23:30.494
And after the fire is still small verse.
00:23:33.998 --> 00:23:41.585
God speaks through angels to Mary about giving birth to the Messiah.
00:23:41.585 --> 00:24:12.103
An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph three times in a dream to make Mary his wife, to take his family and to take his family on the flight to Egypt and then and then to return to Nazareth Matthew, verse 18 and Matthew 2.
00:24:12.103 --> 00:24:16.806
Matthew, chapter 2, verse 23.
00:24:16.806 --> 00:24:32.202
Angels announced, announced the birth of Christ to the quest after his temptation and they were lay Matthew 4, verse 11.
00:24:32.202 --> 00:24:53.799
They confronted Jesus and his agony in the garden of Gethsemane Luke 22, verse 43.
00:24:53.799 --> 00:25:06.067
And angel Gabriel appeared twice to Daniel Daniel 8, verse 16 and Daniel 9, verse 21.
00:25:14.044 --> 00:25:28.894
God speaks through the window and the sign that tells men that the Lord will not destroy the earth by water ever again Genesis 9, verse 11 to 17.
00:25:28.894 --> 00:25:46.681
So God speaks many ways, the different ways to his children, like if a father has to speak today to his children.
00:25:46.681 --> 00:26:00.383
God speaks to us constantly, every moment, every occasion, so we have to learn how to hear his voice.
00:26:00.383 --> 00:26:06.063
That is our father and we have to know the voice of our father.
00:26:06.063 --> 00:26:32.820
When we read the scriptures and meditate them, you will hear the voice of God, because God is our father.
00:26:32.820 --> 00:26:34.910
The children have to listen to the voice of his father and we are the children of God.
00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:38.640
We have to know the voice of our God.
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:40.855
May God bless you.
00:26:48.211 --> 00:26:50.819
