1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.680
So I've got some great promises for you today about how he will teach you.

2
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:21.920
Psalms 25, starting in verse 4, show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths.

3
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.920
Lead me in your truth and teach me for you are the God of my salvation.

4
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.440
From you I will wait all the day.

5
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:36.600
He wants to teach you, but you know, in that process, you're going to have to wait on him.

6
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.280
You're going to have to pursue him.

7
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.960
You're going to have to get in his presence and just invite him in.

8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.680
He doesn't come where he's not invited.

9
00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.200
He's a gentleman.

10
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.880
When you invite him in and you ask him into the journey, he will begin to move in ways

11
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:56.800
you cannot even fathom.

12
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:58.680
Well, how do you know he's moving?

13
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:01.880
Well, you know, it's kind of like watching the wind.

14
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.960
Sometimes you can't see the wind, but you can see the effect that the wind has on the

15
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:09.080
trees.

16
00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:11.000
You'll see him moving.

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.680
You'll perceive that he's in it.

18
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.080
He wants to lead and guide you.

19
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.960
Matthew 6, 33, we talked about this before, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his

20
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:25.080
righteousness.

21
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:27.160
Then all the other things will be added unto you.

22
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:30.800
So if you want to be taught by him, you got to seek him first and invite him into the

23
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:33.560
teaching process and he'll come.

24
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.560
This is beautiful.

25
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.400
Psalms 21, 1 through 5.

26
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.800
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

27
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:43.080
Oh my God, I trust in you.

28
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:46.640
Let me not be ashamed.

29
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.360
Let not my enemies triumph over me.

30
00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:52.560
Can you just hear David crying out to God?

31
00:01:53.160 --> 00:01:55.360
God, don't let my enemies triumph over me.

32
00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.800
Indeed, let no one who waits on you be ashamed.

33
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:04.000
Let those, indeed, let no one who waits on you be ashamed.

34
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.880
Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.

35
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:10.800
Show me your ways, O Lord.

36
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.760
Teach me your paths.

37
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:18.680
Lead me in your truth.

38
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.000
For you are the God of my salvation.

39
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:22.440
I wait on you.

40
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:23.440
I wait all the day.

41
00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:25.280
The Holy Spirit is your teacher.

42
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:26.720
He is your guide.

43
00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:29.560
He is your comforter.

44
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.700
He will begin to show you things.

45
00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:34.460
He dwells within you.

46
00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:37.680
He will manifest in whatever way you allow him.

47
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.240
It will bubble up inside of you in dreams or visions.

48
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.880
Many times the Holy Spirit would speak to me through my students.

49
00:02:46.880 --> 00:02:50.360
I think it's one of the reasons why I love working with special ed kids so much because

50
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.200
there's just so much unconditional love.

51
00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:57.560
They just love purely and innocently.

52
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:03.840
And I see the presence of God in them in spite of their challenges.

53
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.280
The Holy Spirit is your teacher.

54
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:10.160
Look at John 14, and this is in verse 16 and 17.

55
00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:17.280
And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another helper, that he may abide in you

56
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.700
with you forever.

57
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:23.660
The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it doesn't see him, nor it

58
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:32.220
knows him, but you know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

59
00:03:32.220 --> 00:03:35.940
The Holy Spirit dwells inside of you.

60
00:03:35.940 --> 00:03:38.180
He wants to show you.

61
00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:44.340
He wants to teach you, and the greatest way that he will teach is by trial and error.

62
00:03:44.340 --> 00:03:49.260
You will learn when he's in something by doing it over and over and paying attention

63
00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:53.980
to what the Holy Spirit inside of you is saying.

64
00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:58.420
You'll get that feeling inside of you, and you'll know, okay, I'm going this way.

65
00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:01.260
Oh, that's, that feels right.

66
00:04:01.260 --> 00:04:02.260
Yes.

67
00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:08.660
I, you know, I have audibly heard the voice of God on one occasion when I was at the University

68
00:04:08.660 --> 00:04:13.860
of Northern Iowa, and it was a very difficult time in my life.

69
00:04:14.380 --> 00:04:15.380
I was seeking God.

70
00:04:15.380 --> 00:04:16.380
I didn't know what to do.

71
00:04:16.380 --> 00:04:18.980
I was really frustrated with my major.

72
00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:22.060
I was running into all kinds of challenges with it.

73
00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:29.940
It just didn't feel right, and I cried out to him, and he audibly spoke to me one night,

74
00:04:29.940 --> 00:04:33.900
but the majority of the time, that's not how he leads.

75
00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:37.500
It's in still, quiet places.

76
00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:39.220
It's in his word.

77
00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:40.540
It's at the piano.

78
00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:43.060
It's worshiping in my car.

79
00:04:43.260 --> 00:04:47.820
It's vacuuming the floor and seeking him.

80
00:04:47.820 --> 00:04:53.740
It's sitting in a recliner at three o'clock in the morning with a hot cup of coffee waiting

81
00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:54.740
on him.

82
00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:58.500
He will teach me where to go.

83
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:00.060
He will teach you.

84
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.560
By trial and error, through his word, through the saints that are round about you, through

85
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:13.580
ministers of the gospel that are preaching truth and the scriptures under an anointing.

86
00:05:13.580 --> 00:05:20.520
He will teach you and show you if you will just tune in to him.

87
00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:25.600
I love the illustration I used in one of my books, they're available on Amazon.

88
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.800
We used to have this big helicrafter radio, it's actually still at the cabin, we've never

89
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:35.280
taken it out, we've got a little cottage up in the Canadian wilderness, and it's my favorite

90
00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:37.360
quiet place in the whole world.

91
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:44.320
And my grandfather at night, he had this great big antenna off the chimney, and he would

92
00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:51.520
turn that on and he would try to pull in the news broadcasts out of Omaha, Nebraska, we're

93
00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:54.040
all the way up in Canada.

94
00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:05.080
He took a device and he tuned it in, he focused a signal so he could receive information.

95
00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:09.960
And that's what we do by faith, that's what we do when we seek him.

96
00:06:09.960 --> 00:06:21.440
We eliminate all of the things that are distracting the pure sound of him, and just like when

97
00:06:21.440 --> 00:06:30.880
you dial in that radio to the exact signal, all of a sudden the signal becomes clear,

98
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:34.960
and you hear, and you are taught by him.

99
00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:43.480
The Holy Spirit wants to teach you, but you may have to eliminate distractions, you may

100
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:53.600
have to focus your signal, you may have to make a decision to tune into what he is saying

101
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:58.600
to you so that you can receive and you can be taught.

102
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.920
He's a good father, he's faithful.

103
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:09.480
Thank you for listening today, please like and share this, I'm always humbled by the

104
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:16.480
people that message me that tell me that they've gotten something out of simple exhortation.

105
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:18.960
That's kind of how I look at it.

106
00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:25.480
The purpose of this is to encourage you to trust him, come back into relationship with

107
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:26.480
him.

108
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:32.000
He's a good father, and his plans for you are for good and not for evil.

109
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.480
He's going to give you a future and a hope.

110
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.480
Trust him.

111
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:38.840
Have a good day.

112
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:40.480
Amen.

113
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.480
Amen.

114
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:41.480
