Would you turn with me to two openings this morning in the scripture, please?

John, the gospel account of John, the third chapter, and then first John, first epistle of John, the third chapter.

John three and first John three.

John three and first John 3. John 3 and 1 John 3.

And let's just pray again and release our faith.

How many believe the Lord could speak to you this morning?

Through the word, through the teaching and preaching,

or just to you directly, something that wasn't even said,

but just by his spirit, give you an answer, give you some direction.

How many believe Christians ought to hear from God when they come to church?

And that's an awesome thing, isn't it, to actually come and hear from God?

You know, I became convinced as a teenager in my early teens that if I could hear from God,

I had it made.

And still years later, I'm more convinced than ever that that is a fact, amen.

That why?

Because I'd made up my mind, I was going to do what he said.

And I'm going to believe if you hear from God and do what he said, it's going to be all right.

So let's release faith. Father, thank you so much for your goodness, for your faithfulness. All answered prayer, all blessings. Thank you. Thank you. You are our

teacher by your Holy Spirit and by your perfect word. Give everybody ears that are open to hear

and eyes that see and a heart open and receptive. Let there come divine grace deposits, truth, impartations, a supply of the spirit,

eyes that see, ears that hear, and a receiving heart. Let there come answers to questions and help

and healing and restoration and strength. And we'll give you the glory. We'll give you the praise.
