Thank you Pastor Gary Stafford
Maria, Gloria, Jay and Pastor Gary
SAMI’s January meeting came with a special blessing from hearing Pastor Gary’s message about Hearing God’s Voice. Below are a few notes and Bible verses.
- Pray before you read the Word of God and while you are reading so the Holy Spirit can speak to you.
- The Holy Spirit will never speak contrary to the Word of God and reading His Word is the best way to hear his voice.
- Reason and feelings can harden your heart – be careful not to reason yourself into doubt, fear and unbelief
- Psalm 46:10
- 1st Corinthians Chapter 2:9-10
- 1st Corinthians Chapter 6:17
- Hebrews 3:15
Thank you Pastor Gary for sharing God’s Word!
