Hearing God: The Foundation of Spiritual Connection 0:01 Welcome to the men's global livestream. I'm so glad you're with us. If you have a Bible, I want you to hold a couple spots. 1 in Genesis chapter 1 and 1 in Ephesians 6. We're gonna be looking at0:12 passages in those spaces today, but we're in part 1 of a new series. I'm super stoked that we're doing. It's called hearing god. And to get you thinking in the right direction, I want you to0:24 imagine that you are a general of a major country's army. Alright? Let's just start there. Now I want you to imagine0:36 that you're about to take this modern army that you're a general of into war. So a lot is at stake, and a lot of0:48 lives are on the line. Question, mister general, what are going to be the first actions that will launch this campaign.0:59 Right? Now I think you guys can feel where I'm going a little bit. Maybe you don't know what your first actions would be. But, But, you know, when you talk to military1:11 strategists or planners or like my best friend Paul, who's a marine f 18 pilot, you'll know that prior to launching an air sea and land us all in the modern war,1:23 if you wanna win it, your first efforts are gonna be to attack and kill and eliminate the communications capacity of the1:35 enemy. Why? Pretty simple. Separate a man, separate a group, separate a platoon, separate a battalion, separate a division from the voices of its strategic1:47 commanders, and you can limit the opposing forces, you can isolate them, and you can ultimately, listen, destroy their effectiveness. Because1:59 in war, you gotta have communication. Right? Now maybe you're smelling what I'm stepping in here, but in your your spiritual journey, my spiritual,2:10 journey, your ability to hear from God is vital, right, for your life in God and your life with God, and your life for God. I'm2:22 gonna say that again. In your spiritual journey, my spiritual journey, our ability to hear from God is vital to our life in him, our life for2:34 him, and our life with him. So it's a pretty big topic. Earth, for a believer, according to the Bible, is a theater of2:46 war. Jesus can you imagine hearing this from Jesus, like, if you're a follower? Hey. I'm sending you out as sheep among wolves. Yeah. A lot of you guys finished my2:58 sentence right there. Bible says, armor on. Right? We're gonna look at that. You gotta put the full armor of god on. Now you don't say those things if you're in a neutral3:10 environment, but it's important to know that you, right now, at this second, you and I are at war with hostile forces when it comes to your connection with god and3:22 your communication with god, your life with god, your life for god, and what's the enemy's goal? Separate you from the voice of the supreme3:35 commander. Right? Now that's why I needed to do this series because in recent months, I confess to everybody in the men's global livestream3:47 community that enemy forces successfully separated me, got me feeling separated from God. So this is super personal,4:00 but here's the fact of the matter. The fact of the matter is that all of us are in the same battle. And the problem, especially in this area of connection with God, is4:12 that that very few, if any of us kinda have a place to feel safe enough or secure enough to admit. And this goes for4:23 me. Just how separated from god you feel. So listen, we're gonna go for it in4:35 this series. I'm experiencing it. Many of you are experiencing it. Many of you might be where I was, where you're you're feeling distant. Like, you're in your soul4:47 is in a doldrum. You know what a doldrum is? It's a place on the ocean where there's no wind. And your center mast, there's no wind in your sail. Right? That's how I felt. Okay?4:59 So some of you are there. Some of you, maybe you're you're battling. You're you're sensing static. You're struggling. You're fighting to win clear connection with God, clear communication with God. This5:11 series is for you. And this series is for the guy today who god bless you. Thank the lord. You have a solid connection with God right now, and the5:23 communication is clear. And, you have agility and mobility and clarity and confidence in your movement but I will tell you 1 thing, you are a target and5:35 the enemy is relentless. Alright? So, it's time for a reset so we can all retake, right, our life with and for God,5:47 recommit to clear comms, or guard our clear communication and reception and hearing from God. So here's where we're headed. I'm gonna lay the foundation out5:58 of the box in this session for the next 5 week by talking about how a robust, healthy relationship with God is designed by God, right,6:10 to work. And then we're gonna set a few simple goals, and then we gotta talk about the real and strong forces opposing us that can easily6:22 jam, can easily distort, can easily distract, and easily cut off your ability to hear god. And then finally, we're gonna look at what6:34 personally, clearly, and regularly hearing from god looks like in terms of, listen, your lifestyle. Alright? So if if you have your downloaded notes and if you don't have them, you6:46 can click on the download notes button, and you can get those and follow along. If you don't have the notes, no sweat. You can just listen to my voice, and we're gonna put the the verses that we're gonna6:57 go over on the screen. So let's first talk about the foundation of our relationship with God. Number 1, man is an independent creation. Write that down. Man is an independent7:10 creation. Genesis chapter 1, we read this. Then god said, let us make man in our image according to our likeness.7:22 And you move to Genesis 2 6. Then the lord god formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. So7:34 man is created independently and out of God. Right? I love the language. Let us make man in our image. Father, son, and holy spirit are there, and7:46 they're like, alright. Let us let us make man, but let's let's make him in a certain way. Let's make him in our image. He's gonna be a living being. And being in our7:58 image means that he has intellect, he has emotions, he has will. What does that mean? It means you and I are not robots. We have a choice. Right? So that's8:09 number 1. Right? You are an independent creation of God. Now let's follow that on. Number 2, man is dependent on his creator. What does that8:21 mean? Right? That means that God gave you some of the essential things that are like his nature, but he didn't give you all of them. Right? And we hear language in the Bible where God8:34 lets us know that that we're not like him. And 1 of those places is in Isaiah chapter 45, says this, woe to the 1 who quarrels with his maker, an earthenware8:46 vessel among the vessels of earth. Will the clay say to the potter, what are you doing? And so you see in scripture in various places, whether it's8:58 I'm the creator and you're the created in the book of Job, or I'm the potter and you're the clay in the book of Isaiah, or in the New Testament, I'm the shepherd, you're the sheep. Right? Or I'm the vine and9:10 you're the branch. There is a massive gap, right, between God, who is in the a position, creator, shepherd, potter, vine, and9:22 us in the b position. We're limited. Alright? Yes. We're made in his image, and we're eternal. We have intellect. We have emotions. We have will. But we're also9:33 limited. We are we're made from dust. We are not we don't have any all that god has. Right? We don't have all wisdom, all power. Right?9:46 All all capacity, that's God. We are limited. So that means that 1 is submitted to the other. 1 is dependent upon another. The branch is dependent on9:58 the life that's coming from the vine. Right? The clay is dependent on the vision of the potter. Right? The sheep is dependent on the10:10 voice and protection and provision of the shepherd. You got it. Alright? So man is an independent creation. He's dependent on his creator. Third, man must trust what God10:22 reveals. Right? So god's independent of us. We are dependent creations of god. And what does dependence look like? Well, it looks like trusting10:33 god. Right? It says here in Deuteronomy 29 this, the lord our god has secrets known to no 1. We are not accountable for them, what we don't know, but we and our children are10:45 accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us. If you're taking notes, circle that. So that we may obey all the terms of these10:57 instructions. Right? So in simple language, he reveals, we trust, we obey. Right? So creator11:09 created potter clay, vine branch, shepherd sheep. This is a relationship that is built on the created man trusting the11:21 creator, god. Alright? That's third building block. That's just a foundation. Now here, let's get to our our point that's gonna lead us, directly into the series. So man man is an11:32 independent creation. He's dependent on his creator. He's gotta trust what God reveals. Number 4, man must hear God to trust God and follow God. Kinda important. You can't trust what you don't know.11:45 You can't follow God if you don't hear from God. Right? And this is the crux of the devil, God, and11:57 man. God wants to reveal things to us. He wants a clear, healthy, confident, living relationship12:09 with the living being that he's created that's depending on him. The devil doesn't want all that. Right? And he's gonna try and we'll learn that he's gonna try and12:21 separate you. Right? Look at what Jesus says on this whole idea of man must hear god to trust god and follow god. John 10 27, my sheep hear my voice and I12:33 know them and they follow me. So do you do you catch Jesus's, progression there? The more we hear god's voice, the more we know god better, the more we hear and know him, the more12:44 we follow. Right? So say this with me. Say, hear, know, follow. Right? What does it start with? I gotta hear. I gotta hear his voice clearly. Right?12:57 So here's the goal, right, of of every believer. Right? Write these down. To hear god personally, that's goal number 1. Alright?13:09 Second, to hear god clearly. Alright? So we wanna hear him personally. We wanna hear him in our lives for the issues that we are facing today. The relationships13:21 we're managing, the businesses that we're running, the challenges that we're facing. We need god wants to direct us and and speak to us but we need to hear from him clearly about those personal issues. Second, we13:33 need to hear god clearly, right? You know, the the there's problems when there's noise in the middle and you you mishear god, you don't hear him clearly. Isn't that what our13:45 dads and moms tell us? Hey, did you hear me clearly? Let me be clear. Right? We want clear communication. Then third, we wanna hear god regularly. Alright? Because that's a relationship.13:57 Someone's speaking, someone's hearing, someone's internalizing. There's clear understanding, clear communication on a regular basis. Right? Just like Jesus said, we hear14:10 his voice. We know him better. We're able to follow. Right? So to see god clearly, to know him deeply so that you can trust him personally and14:22 respond to what he says meaningfully, you gotta understand and really internalize and have a mentality that you're at14:34 war. Right? And that's our next section on the downloaded notes. The war for connection and communication. It's a fight. Okay? Now I wanna put before we get into the details of that, I just wanna put it in14:46 simple terms. I cannot imagine if Chrissy, my wife of 34 years, if we, throughout that time, didn't have to fight and14:58 win space to have a clear connection and clear communication. Raising a family, careers, noise,15:10 problems, medical issues, just the stuff of life. Right? If we didn't fight for and win time for connection and clear15:22 communication, we'd we'd be divorced. I mean, quite honestly. Because then if we didn't fight for and win clear communication and space to do it, you know what? I would have never seen Chrissy, heard Chrissy, known15:34 Chrissy, or been able to respond to her in the right ways, and the relationship would be overdone. Alright? Same is true in your relationship with God. You gotta fight for it. Right?15:46 You gotta discipline yourself for it. You gotta sacrifice some things for it. So let's look at the 3 things that we're gonna be fighting, that we're fighting right now to win15:58 god's voice in our lives. Right? First thing we're we'll be fighting is evil attacks. Write that down. I'll be fighting evil attacks. Right? Ephesians 6 verses 10 and 11.16:10 God is strong. He wants you strong. So take everything the master has set out for you, well made weapons of the best materials, and put them16:22 to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the devil throws your way. I love that. That to have a relationship with God16:34 that is robust and solid and meaningful, God's given us weapons to guard it. Right? We're every time you see words on the16:46 screen, that's part of our arsenal. Right? It's the word of God. It's the example, of Jesus. It's the Holy Spirit animating those things in our16:57 lives from the inside out. Right? Giving us power. Right? To choose to be in God's word. To choose self control. To choose discipline. So God has given us17:10 the best weapons, but we gotta put them to use. To do what? To fend off evil attacks. You know, another cross references in the Bible when it says17:21 that that Satan is hurling flaming missiles. The picture is of an archer dipping his the tip of his arrow, which is covered in cloth, right,17:33 and set on fire and then pulled back. And then you can imagine, right, the volley of arrows, flaming arrows coming down. And and then what do we have up here?17:45 We have our shield of faith. Right? So just get the imagery of this. The devil is throwing stuff, man. You know, volleys, right? At the man of17:56 god to do what? To separate him from god, to cut off his communications from god and those those flaming missiles and everything he's throwing at us. It comes from different angles and we have to18:08 be ready for that. Secondly, I will be fighting my own flesh right. I'll be fighting my own flesh now when it comes to your connection with Jesus, you've you've got a man the18:20 enemy and the enemy is you right Even Jesus with his guys who were walking with God. Right? They had his physical presence. Even they. Right? They they struggled. Alright?18:32 Like, I look at this little vignette in Matthew 26. And Jesus says to his guys, couldn't you men keep watch with me for an hour? He asked Peter. Watch and18:44 pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So, there is this tension with limited creatures, right? We're independent creations but we're dependent on our18:56 creator. We're limited. We're made from dust. We don't have limitless energy, right? And Jesus is frustrated with them. It's just like, hey, Couldn't you guys discipline yourselves just for an19:07 hour? Right? And then he says, okay. You gotta watch and you gotta pray or you're gonna get hit. You're gonna fall into temptation.19:19 Why? Because here's what Jesus says is true about every man. Hey. Your intentions are great, but your ability to pull that off because of the flesh, because of your limitations,19:31 being weak is another thing. So there's intentions, and then there's actions, and then in the middle is our own flesh. That part of you that doesn't wanna19:43 do what you know you need to do. Right? And it's making excuses. It's making rationalizations. I call the flash the little lawyer. You know what I'm talking about, guys? You come to a situation and you're just19:55 like, you know that this is the right thing to do. And then the little lawyer just says, hold on. I I gotta make my case here. He starts giving me rationalizations, justifications, good excuses, good other things to do,20:05 not to do the 1 thing that God wants you to do. So get ready for evil attacks. You've got a very real enemy who's gonna throw a lot of stuff your way. When you try to connect20:17 and communicate with God, you've got your own flesh that you gotta deal with. Spirit is willing. Flesh is weak. Right? And then third, you'll be fighting, and20:29 I'm naming it, you will be fighting in in this age, a digital culture. You'll be fighting a digital culture. Been doing a little homework on this 1.20:41 Learned to kinda real ridiculously hard stat to read because I think I I'm part of the stat, but the20:52 reality is is that most human beings who own a smartphone touch it over 2200 times in a day. Alright? That's how21:04 many times our body, our fingers, that's 2200 times in a single day.21:16 Now, this is convicting, and I'm looking in the mirror, but also I'm gonna say it to you. Man, what if we put as much energy and awareness and interaction21:29 that we have with our phone, here we go, into our relationship with Jesus. If we had that many touches, that many communications, that many thoughts, that21:41 many that many intentions, that that many interactions, that that many, remembrances, that many you think there would be a significant improvement21:53 in our lives? 77 percent of all young adults, when they're bored, 77 percent, that's more than 3 out of 4. K? When22:04 they're bored, that means that when they're standing in line or they're at the grocery store or they have a pause, instead of just kinda kinda taking note22:16 of maybe who or what is going on around them or maybe talking with the other person in line or, you know, just noticing what a great day it is. Just22:28 noticing other things. They reach for their phone. K? That thing, that smartphone that we own, it's a digital carnivore. It22:40 eats up attention. Now if you don't know this already and you haven't seen, like, the social network or seen any research behind it, it's a dopamine dispenser. Right? That's22:52 why, you know, a lot of us are screen slaves. Right? That's why the default action for 3 out of 4 young adults is to when they have a23:03 pause, they gotta fill the pause, and they gotta go to their screen. Right? So those are just a couple. Up. But you know what? That digital carnivore, that23:15 smartphone, it's throwing all believers who are attached to it, at least most of us, if we're honest, in the spiritual oblivion. Right? Why? Because we23:27 can't keep up with the amount of stuff that is behind that screen. Our brains and our souls aren't built for that. Right? But that's what it's doing. And then when something that has23:39 more than the capacity of the receptacle to receive, it crushes, it explodes, it atomizes, it wins.23:51 Right? I just want you to be aware that culture has always been part of that unholy trinity of24:03 the devil, the flesh, and the spirit of the world. Right? And right now, the spirit of the world is fueled,24:15 powered, and operated within a digital a digital space. Now before, you know, we throw out our24:26 cell phones, I just want you to know that it that a cell phone is a tool, But you have to see and just recognize how that24:38 smartphone that probably everybody on this live stream oh, maybe you're watching from your smartphone. Okay? I get it. It's a tool, and it actually helps us. But I am going24:50 to say right out of the box that we have to be suspicious of its role in our spiritual growth in a certain25:02 way. Right? So if you're listening by the every man app, awesome. But that that that phone, it needs to be managed. There needs to be boundaries. Just like on any good thing. Whether it's25:14 alcohol or your digital time. And there are even features built into it because the makers know that you want that and we'll talk later on about in the in the coming sessions.25:26 How to here's some ideas for you and how to do that you know in the Bible, it says this what we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, so that we may25:38 understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught to us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the spirit, explaining spiritual realities with spirit25:49 taught words. So what the Bible says is that in the world, there's a set of reactions or there's a set of, actions and events, right, that are controlled by the26:01 spirit of the world that is godless, that doesn't know Christ. So there is a driving force. There is a spirit that's that's driving culture and the atmosphere that all of26:13 us live in right now in the world. So without Christ, it has driving forces. And those driving forces in culture26:26 that is godless are gonna drive a wedge in between you and God. Why? Because the spirit of the world and those forces are aligned26:38 with the devil and your flesh. And that's what we're experiencing. I mean, now we have a whole, army of experts talking about how the next generation soul has been atomized. Why26:50 why do we have rampant anxiety and panic disorders? You know, why do we have epidemic suicide? Why do we have epidemic depression? Because the soul isn't healthy. That's why.27:02 And the spirit of the world combined with the devil and the flesh that seeks to be indulgent in in that's killing the soul. And we all see it. Right? So, you know,27:14 that's that's the hard reality of of this fight, that that we're in. Right? So I want you to think about it this way.27:26 Okay? Slot machines. Alright? There's more revenue in slot machines than the entire Hollywood film industry and27:38 Major League Baseball combined. Right? Right? What are people doing with this slot machine? They're just putting in little, or some are putting in nickels,27:50 dimes, quarters. They're putting in small deposits that over time and on a scale adds up. Same thing with your smartphone. Right?28:02 Text messages, small deposit. Social media, next reel, small deposit. Oh, next reel, small deposit. Next reel, small deposit. Tempting reel, small deposit.28:15 Lions killing hyenas. Before you know it, you're an hour in, 2 hours in, 3 hours in, and you don't even know where the time went. Right? Am I right? Is that you? That might28:27 be you right after this or before you go to bed or whatever. Alright? And it doesn't give you what you're looking for. It doesn't help your soul. You you're you're like that tired and wired28:39 person who you think you're going somewhere that this is relaxing, and this is what I like to do, and all that stuff. Not helping your soul 1 bit. Alright?28:51 So I just wanna be really upfront that we gotta face the reality of the fight, and the Bible is giving us intelligence. And if29:03 we don't win that fight, we're not gonna hear from God. And and the devil we make it easy for the devil to win. Right? Cut off a man from his communication29:14 with God. The man then doesn't have clear connection and communication from God. What's his source then? What's his source of direction? Himself.29:27 He becomes God. Got the devil, the world, the flesh. Those are active voices. And that's what's gonna take over. And you know, guys, that's that's what broken male culture is29:39 all about. It's it's, communities of men, cultures of men that are not hearing clearly who they are from God, but they're listening to these29:50 lies and they're listening to their flesh and they're listening and engaging with the spirit of the world all in their soul shrinks. There's no life in them. And when there's30:02 no life, what do you get? Death. Right? So let's let's get a look at what this fight now, if we're choosing to fight it today, what's at30:14 stake if we're successful? Right? If we're gonna engage this fight, because cause we wanna hear from God. We want clear comms so we can win the battles that we face. Alright? What's it gonna30:26 look like if we're successful? Right? Well, his voice in my life and in your life means, write this down, winning slow over hurry. Alright? I'm just gonna tick through these. This30:38 is gonna be part 2 of our series. Because here's the fact. Write this down. We need to slow to know and hear someone. You ever talk with somebody who's blowing30:50 past you? Either physically or mentally. Right? Their brain's ahead of you. Their brain's going a hundred miles an hour. Their brain is on other things. They might31:02 be physically present, but intellectually and emotionally, they're gone, man. They're way ahead, and they can't listen. Listen. If you're in a hurry if you're in a hurry all the time, you're always thinking about the31:12 next thing, you're always looking at your phone, you're always you cannot be present. Listen, for god or for people. Right? And you will31:23 not hear god's voice and you will not hear others in your life clearly. So if you're gonna be if you're gonna decide to fight to hear from God going forward, just31:35 know that as a lifestyle, you're gonna have to win slow over hurry. Secondly, this is gonna be part 3, you're gonna have to win quiet over noise.31:48 Right? I'm sorry. I can't hear you. I'm sorry. I can't hear you. You ever said that to anybody? I'm sorry. I can't hear you. You married couples, right, who talk through walls. You know? Honey. You know? And it sounds32:01 like Right? And you're like I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you. Right? Why? Because there is too many barriers. And in today's culture, let's32:13 just we live in a jungle of noise. We live in a jungle of distraction. We live in a jungle of voices all competing to get control of your32:25 mind and whatever controls your mind controls your life. Right? You are what you think and you do what you think. So, what's coming in? You know, it's gonna control. Oh, those are my decisions. They start they start32:36 coming up. If you're gonna hear from god so that you can know god better and follow god like Jesus says, my sheep know my voice, Right? You're gonna have to win quiet.32:48 We're gonna talk about this. Not just external quiet. Like, it's pretty quiet in the every man broadcast center right now where I am.33:01 But you're gonna have to win quiet inside. So there's external quiet. But you know what you're gonna have to win? Internal quiet. And some of you are just like, man, I haven't33:13 known internal quiet probably for years. Maybe even your whole life. Like, you just can't slow your brain down.33:25 And part of that goes back to this war that we're fighting and most of us are losing, right, with the digital culture. It's just our brains are on overload, and then we feel low, and then we look33:36 to other things. You know, we have second, third glass of wine, third or fourth beer. We watch another football game and all that stuff, which, you know, I have a glass of wine. I'll have a beer.33:49 But that doesn't solve your your tiredness of soul. Right? Your body's tired. You need a rest. You're taking a break. But you know what? Your soul is34:01 starving and what it's longing for is quiet. Because here's the fact, you need silence to hear and listen well. Write that down. Right? If you're gonna win quite enough, you34:13 need silence to hear and listen well. That's just true in any relationship. Like, you have to shut up and you have to slow down and34:24 you have to have quiet so that you can hear the person talking to you. But you know what? The world, the flash, the devil, it's creating all these this noise34:36 and man, the digital culture. And I know you guys are are feeling me. I know because, man, I've felt it, you know, as a pastor, you know.34:48 And the noise and the voices and the schedules and all of that, You know, just recently, I was able to kinda win some quiet. So we're gonna get into that in part 3.35:00 Third, we need to win rest over restlessness. Oh. Man. I don't know about you but like it35:12 takes me 3 or 4 days on vacation to get to a place of rest. Wanna know why? Because I have separated35:23 myself from noise in hurry. Now it's just like, well, I can actually sleep. You know? And35:35 I'm getting better at that. I'm working on that. Right? Sleeping a little bit better now. But you know what I'm talking about? I mean, we have lives. We have phones. We have schedules.35:47 We have social media followings. We have fantasy football.
