Text Message From Heaven Series
Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 12, 2024 (message contributor)
Summary: Do you ever wish God would just send you a text message? You’ve hit the proverbial fork in the road and you’re not sure which road to take. Wouldn’t it be nice if God just sent you a text message and said, “Go right!”
c. Sometimes he shows us this through Scripture.
d. Sometimes he shows us through circumstances.
e. Sometimes he just impresses it upon our hearts, or as the Bible calls it, “a gentle whisper.”
f. Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the LORD told him. And as Elijah stood there, the LORD passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:11-13).
g. In whatever way the Holy Spirit speaks to you, follow where he leads.
Conclusion
1. God may not send us a text message from heaven, but he does lead us and direct us.
a. Sometimes he closes doors to us.
b. Other times he opens doors for us.
2. What’s the point preacher? The Holy Spirit is our Advocate and Guide, trust him and do whatever he says and go wherever he leads.
