Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.

The one thing that you will read about in most of my studies is the need for us to listen to God.

The point is that you read these studies for mainly one reason and that is to get a better understanding of God. (At least, I hope that is why you are reading them.)

Even if you hear from God these studies can help the most seasoned person who listens to God. They could then be considered the "Readers Digest Condensed Version" of what you missed while at work, asleep, or in a movie.

No matter what, if you are a seasoned listener to God or just starting, you must be connected and hearing. If not, then all of my studies are no different than reading the Bible itself. Instead of understanding God's word and what He meant, people resort to interpreting His word (as so many have done) and therefore we have ended up with many different denominations (Denomination means to divide (I Cor 1:11-15).

If you can actually hear God, then you can understand His word and get the full meaning of His word for yourself and your family.

Knowing God to the point where you can talk to Him and hear Him and not just read His Word, but hearing in your spirit will supply your faith with the power to operate in ways you can not even imagine yet.

There are many references to us being able to hear God. Everyone knows about Jesus on the mount where Jesus took Peter and John and they heard the audible voice of the Father. Jesus also told us in other scripture. Make this a real BIBLE STUDY and find those references for yourself…I'll narrow it down for you to the New Testament.

For the rest of this month I want you to do the following:

Read, then meditate on what you read. Then be sure to spend at least as much time listening to hear God as you did reading and meditating. By the end of the month you should have at the least gotten a hint of the sound of the Lord's voice. When you hear Him on a regular basis keep listening until you can hear Him all the time.

Revelation 3

20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Matthew 6

  1. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Hebrews 11

  1. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If you notice in the last two verses it states to seek, not to read, but to seek, as in search with the goal of finding.

Matthew 7

  1. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
  2. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
  3. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
  4. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
  5. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
  6. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

You either believe God is real and that He wrote the Bible through men, and it is His words, or you do not believe it. If you do not believe it, then stop now and don't waste any more of your time. BUT, if you believe there is a creator and He is God and He wrote the Bible via mankind then you need to have help understanding it. Why? God wrote the Bible in such a way that Satan could only interpret the Bible and not understand it unless he (Satan) had the Holy Spirit. Therefor, any one who reads the Bible without the Holy Spirit only interprets the Bible, and every time they read a section they can come away with a different view or a little more understanding as if they are growing, but they are not really. With the Holy Spirit giving the understanding they reaally do grow.

Mark 4

1. And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

2. And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

3. HeMarken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4. And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5. And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and imediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6. But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12. That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14. The sower soweth the word.

15. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh imediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, imediately receive it with gladness;

17. And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, imediately they are offended.

18. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21. And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

  1. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

This is the most important study you will have. First of all, the above parable of 'the sower and the word' is one we all must know or we are lost before we even start.

My prayer for you is:

3 John 1

2. Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

Remember to show faith when you pray, then praise and give thanks.

God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
