4 Practical Tips to Hear God Speak to YOU:

1. Create space and pace to listen.
2. Submit yourself to God’s purposes – even when you are troubled or afraid.
3. Know God’s promises through God’s Word and God’s Spirit.
4. Listen for good news that increases joy, peace and power.

“For no word from God will ever fail.” - Luke 1:37

This Advent, we are praying that we'll keep our focus on THE GIFT in the midst of all the other gifts.

The greatest gift we can offer Jesus is who we are becoming.

An Advent Prayer: Lord God, we want to keep our focus on THE GIFT, and to become more like Jesus during this Advent season. Please convict us of sin and reveal how we need to change. Holy Spirit, we invite you to change us from the inside out. Lord Jesus, we want to offer you the gift of our surrendered and transformed hearts this Christmas. Amen.

The good news of the gospel is that Jesus invites us to:

1. Repent
2. Rest
3. ReSurrender
4. Receive

The freedom, healing and transformation which we all need – the spiritual awakening and liberation for which we long is not found in a program, but a person. His name is Jesus.

How is Jesus inviting you to trust him? How are you choosing to respond?
