Went To Bedok And Charles & SuAnn's Cell Group

Today went to Bedok to shop ard. Went to the Bedok Interchange Macdonald to have a bite first. The Macdonald over there was half renovated. While eating, had a feel of the half renovated surrounding. After eating, went to NTUC to buy some stuffs and went to Watson to buy small bottle of lotion.

At 7pm, left Bedok for Charles & SuAnn's CG at Suann's house. Was waiting for Bus No. 9 at the Bedok Interchange and it was so long tat I took a cab to Suann's house. The cab driver's customer service turned me off. When reached, told the cab driver to stopped at the carpark for me to drop off.

Called Suann tat I had reached near her place and for direction. Finally, had found her block and climbed up the stairs. Den I got lost between left or right. So I proceed to the right first den left. At last, found her house. So next time, when gg to her house have to turn left from the staircase. HaHa.... When I went in to her house, reminded me of my previous CG at a sister's house from Lighthouse Evangelism a few years back.

Find tat the CG members were quite friendly & nice. We worship, pray & bible study during the CG. At the gg to end, Suann prayed for me. After the CG, went to the bus-stop to wait for Bus No. 38 to Tampines Interchange to take Bus NO. 65 home. :)

While walking home, some thoughts rushing to my mind. Maybe something was telling me tat I should go back to where I'm belong to. Or maybe God was giving me a 2nd chance to go back to where I'm belong to. Watever it is, I will treasure tis opportunity tis time round. Won't be letting tis opportunity down e drain. Will be gg next week. :)

CG Sermon Outline Today

HEARING FROM GOD

Prayer is the key to a dynamic, spiritual, genuine relationship with God.

We see throughout the gospels that Jesus had a regular and consistent prayer life.

Matthew 26:36-44

The prayer of Jesus was really an intimate conversation with God.

- In fact, Jesus was having an intense dialogue with His heavenly Father... that's why Jesus

was able to always prevail in prayer.

John 8:26-29

John 10:27

The Christianity many people embrace is a very cold religion... but Christianity =X= a religion... it is a dynamic relationship with God!

To hear God's voice, I must believe four basic things:

1. There is a God who is alive.

2. He can communicate with people.

3. God will speak to those who seek Him.

4. I can recognize His voice when He speaks.

All throughout the Old Testament we see the same examples:

- Enoch: He had a walking and talking relationship with God.

- Noah: God spoke to Noah to build an ark.

- Moses, Gideon, David etc.

How did they qualify to be heroes of faith?

They each had a praying and hearing relationship with God.

Genesis 12:1-4

Genesis 18:17-19

God is always speaking; the question is... are you listening? Do you want to listen?

In Genesis 18, God sent two angels to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.

- But the angels couldn't do anything until Lot was out.

- Why? Because Abraham had a talk with God about the whole matter.

Now, these are the people of the Old Covenant.

- And they didn't have the Holy Spirit in the measure we have today... and if they can

hear God's voice... so can we!

Galatians 3:14

WHAT ARE THE KEYS TO HAVING A DAILY ENCOUNTER WITH GOD?

1. Desire.

Remember: God wants your fellowship but He is not "hard-up" for it.

Matthew 5:3, 5

David had such a strong thrist for the Lord - Psalms 42:1-3.

2. Dissatisfaction.

What did Jesus say?

Matthew 5:3

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

God is bedrock under my feet, the castle in which I live, my rescuing knight. My God – the high crag where I run for dear life, hiding behind the boulders, safe in the granite hideout; my mountaintop refuge, he saves me from ruthless men. 2 Samuel 22:2-3
