	OCTOBER THEME SUMMATION Our theme for October, Hear God, instructs us on the importance of hearing what the God of Israel has to say to us. The message the God of Israel has for each of us is of great importance and before we can do the will of the God of Israel, we must hear his instruction to us. This is why we must be able to discern the voice of the God of Israel and realize that his message to us can come in a variety of forms Hearing the God of Israel means that we give our undivided attention to the message he has for us. We still must make the choice to obey the message given to us but if we do not hear, we will not give the importance to the message that is necessary in order to receive the benefit from the message of the God of Israel. This is why meditation is so important. If we are so busy with the natural aspects of life we will not allow ourselves time for spiritual enhancement which comes from setting aside time to hear what the God of Israel has to say to us. Many times the God of Israel will place us in challenging situations so he can get our full attention. Most times, as long as things are going well for us, we fail to give the God of Israel our full attention. Once we become spiritually mature, we will understand how necessary it is to set aside time to meditate and allow the God of Israel to talk with us. Many times the message the God of Israel has for us will come out of a challenging situation we may find ourselves in. We cannot hear the God of Israel until he gets our full attention and when we find ourselves in situations that require God’s help, we can be more attentive to the message he has for us. The God of Israel can also speak to us through our pastor or other ministers we may hear. Romans 10th chapter states, how can you hear without a preacher? A good pastor/minister will always challenge us to conform our lives to the word of God. As we listen to any sermon, we should constantly asked ourselves, what word from God is in this sermon for me that can challenge me to become a better person? Our goal in hearing the word of God is to increase our faith so we can become more spiritually-minded which will allow us to please the God of Israel. Other people such as our friends, co-workers, spouse, children and sometimes even a complete stranger whom we have never met can give us a message for us from the God of Israel. This is why it is so important not to have respect of person. A person whom you may despise or consider an enemy can still be a conduit for a message to you from the God of Israel. We should never get caught-up in the messenger, we should make sure that we receive the message that the God of Israel has for us. Our most important ability we must develop in hearing God is our ability to discern between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. Always remember, God does not want you to get his message from second-hand sources. If you have the spirit of discernment which increases by being obedient to the will of the God of Israel, God will talk in you, about what you need to do, first. We must learn to trust the spirit of truth in ourselves first and when we do this we can witness to that same spirit of truth from whatever source it may come from. Many thoughts and different people will make impressions on us in our journey of life but we must learn the difference between what is from the God of Israel versus what we have picked up on our own. That is why it is so critical to our spiritual development to be taught of God (St. John 6:45) As we learn to hear the God of Israel as he speaks to us through different challenges, situations and individuals, we also must cultivate the ability to learn when the God of Israel speaks in us, to us. By being indecisive and not fully aware that it is the God of Israel speaking in us as it relates to different challenges and situations we may find ourselves in, we allow doubt to come in and then we cannot give the message the full commitment necessary to obtain the blessing that is in the message. When God speaks to us it is very important that we act immediately and receive the benefit of hearing the message. Always remember that delayed obedience is really disobedience. In my conclusion I would like to discuss the message that we can get from the God of Israel through our physical bodies. This is of great concern to me because I have realized that if we fail to truly take care of our physical temples we will lose the fundamental hope of Israel which is to live and not be sick and to walk in perfect health with the God of Israel. Our physical temples are designed to send us a message when something is not functioning as it should. Pain is a message that something has, or is, being damaged. Other signals and symptoms such as constant headaches, blood in the urine or stool, fingernails or toenails turning black, numbness in parts of the body and yellow of the eyes are all messages to us that there are physical issues that need our immediate attention. Remember the message of the God of Israel can take many forms, whatever form the message comes in, let us be ready and willing to “Hear God”. Peace Bishop Harvey Beavers Jr. May the God of Israel continue to bless us and give us the desire to seek true understanding of His Word.
