Summary
The very character of God is evidenced by the Fruit of the Spirit, and each of the Fruit has a specific voice that reveals His heart toward us. Today, we are cultivating an expectation of His gentle voice which restores us and washes us in truth.
Key Scriptures:
+ Galatians 5:22-23. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
+ Psalm 18:35. “Your right hand upholds me; And Your gentleness has made me great.”

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives Podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | I'm your host, Jalen Bowden, here with you for another episode of Learning Powered by the Heart. |
| 0:12.0 | Last week, we talked about what it looks like to start cultivating a greater sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:19.0 | And today, we're diving into the natural next question, which is, what does it sound like to hear God's voice? |
| 0:27.0 | Now, of course, connecting with God comes in a multitude of ways, and we are constantly encountering Him as we live a lifestyle of devotion. |
| 0:37.0 | But one of the best ways to fine-tune your hearing with God is to first understand what His voice sounds like. |
| 0:45.0 | And one little hint, it can be found in the fruit of the Spirit. |
| 0:50.0 | Let's unpack this a bit more as we turn it over to Graham. |
| 0:56.0 | The true nature of God is clearly evidenced in the fruit of the Spirit. |
| 1:01.0 | Because these are not merely attributes that He has, they are the very character of the relationship between the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. |
| 1:12.0 | This week, we're going to look at gentleness first because it's how God speaks to us. |
| 1:17.0 | Actually, the thing I really love about the fruit of the Spirit is each one of them has a voice. |
| 1:25.0 | And you can hear God's heart through each particular fruit. |
| 1:30.0 | So I think I often say to people I'm mentoring is, what fruit of the Spirit do you think God is wanting to develop you into right now? |
| 1:43.0 | Why don't you start to hear God speak in that particular way? |
| 1:48.0 | So for example, if God wants to develop joy in you, you can choose to hear His voice as joyful. |
| 1:56.0 | That's what I'm saying, yeah? |
| 1:58.0 | So I want you to hear everything that follows in the same voice that God is using towards you. |
| 2:05.0 | And when the Lord is talking with us about our process of transformation, it's always with a deeply affectionate, beautifully gentle voice and manner. |
| 2:17.0 | It isn't a whisper. It's a voice that fills, that's filled with quiet confidence in who He knows Himself to be for you. |
| 2:29.0 | He loves talking to the Jesus in you. |
| 2:34.0 | There's no anger then or tension in His tone. He's incapable of frustration or disappointment. |
