Psalm 99
Communion
- The Bread - His broken body
- The Wine - His blood
1 Corinthians 11
Judges 6
Gideon reached a point where he had a disabiling question.
Was God really talking to him?
vs 36 - 40
God's confirmation
He wanted more assurance.
Mark 8:11
If the testing comes out of something negative.
Gideon wanted clarity. He was overwhelmed and needed more affirmation.
The voices in our head.
Our problem in needing confirmation is to sort out which voice might be God speaking to us.
- God's voice.
- Our Conscience
- The World
- The Flesh
- The Devil
Our conscience can be trained by Scripture.
But, the Devil's temptations need to be resisted.
Training ourselves - learning from our mistakes rather than repeating them.
1 John 2:15
Romans 12:2
2 Timothy 3:16, 17
We must not neglect daily reading of the Word.
Recognise and surrender your desires.
Confess and Repent of any known Sin.
Test for inner peace.
Counsel with a Spiritual brother or sister.
Colossians 3:16
Proverbs 11:14
