Hearing from Heaven part 1

How can we tell when God is speaking to us? This is a new series we begin today. Have you ever heard someone say, "God told me to tell you such and such," or "God told me to go up to this person and tell him..."? Has someone ever approached your pastor and said, "Pastor, God told me to tell you that our church needs to go this direction..."? Have you ever heard someone say that god speaks to them and it has made you wonder, "What's wrong with me? Why haven't I ever heard God speak to me so clearly?" We will introduce this topic today and discuss the difference between revelation and illumination - very important difference!
