Broken Arrow

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

If you want to hear God, you need to know what He sounds like.

See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

“‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

I have hidden your word in my hear that I might not sin against you.

This book is intended to guide and direct the people of God.

Then the king called together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. He went up to the temple of the Lord with the people of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the prophets—all the people from the least to the greatest. He read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant, which had been found in the temple of the Lord. The king stood by the pillar and renewed the covenant in the presence of the Lord—to follow the Lord and keep his commands, statutes and decrees with all his heart and all his soul, thus confirming the words of the covenant written in this book. Then all the people pledged themselves to the covenant.

"You may have been told that it is good to read the Bible through every year…If you do this you may enjoy the reputation of one who reads the Bible through each year, and you may congratulate yourself on it. But will you become more like Christ and more filled with the life of God? It is a proven fact that many who read the Bible in this way, as if they were taking medicine or exercising on a schedule, do not advance spiritually. It is better in one year to have ten good verses transferred into the substance of our lives than to have every word of the Bible flash before our eyes." - Dallas Willard, Hearing God

How to Hear God

Hearing God Through Scripture

We read the words of God to meet with the Word of God.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

What does the voice of God sound like?

"By training ourselves to hear God's voice where it's easiest-in the Bible-we gradually learn to hear his voice everywhere else as well." -PETE GREIG

10&nbsp;You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness,&nbsp;11&nbsp;my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me&nbsp;at Antioch,&nbsp;at Iconium, and&nbsp;at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet&nbsp;from them all&nbsp;the Lord rescued me.&nbsp;12&nbsp;Indeed, all who desire to&nbsp;live a godly life in Christ Jesus&nbsp;will be persecuted,&nbsp;13&nbsp;while&nbsp;evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and&nbsp;being deceived.&nbsp;14&nbsp;But as for you,&nbsp;continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom&nbsp;you learned it&nbsp;15&nbsp;and how&nbsp;from childhood you have been acquainted with&nbsp;the sacred writings,&nbsp;which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.&nbsp;16&nbsp;All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,&nbsp;17&nbsp;that&nbsp;the man of God&nbsp;may be complete, equipped for every good work.

16&nbsp;All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17&nbsp;that&nbsp;the man of God&nbsp;may be complete, equipped&nbsp;for every good work.

"For&nbsp;the word of God is living and&nbsp;active,&nbsp;sharper than any&nbsp;two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and&nbsp;discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

How should we approach the Bible?

36&nbsp;But&nbsp;the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For&nbsp;the works that the Father has given me&nbsp;to accomplish, the very works that I am doing,&nbsp;bear witness about me that&nbsp;the Father has sent me.&nbsp;37&nbsp;And the Father who sent me&nbsp;has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard,&nbsp;his form you have never seen,&nbsp;38&nbsp;and&nbsp;you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.&nbsp;39&nbsp;You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and&nbsp;it is they that bear witness about me,&nbsp;40&nbsp;yet&nbsp;you refuse to come to me that you may have life.

They said to each other,&nbsp;“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he&nbsp;opened to us the Scriptures?”

"Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law."
