2. Amos 3:1-8
1Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying: 2 “You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.” 3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?

3. 5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no trap for it? Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all? 6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it? 7 Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. 8 A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?

4. What is God saying to Body of Christ?
What is God saying to Evangel (to the local church)?
What is God saying in my spirit?
What we hear must be in the line with the Scriptures (1 John 4:1)
What we hear must pull everyone into covenant towards our common destiny

5. Revelation 2:7; 2:11; 2:17; 2:29; 3:6; 3:13; 3:22
7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
What is God saying to Body of Christ?
God will use the leaders of the churches.
What is God saying to Evangel (to the local church)?

6. Numbers 10:1-8
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps. 3 When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.

7. 5 When you sound the advance (alarm), the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey. 6 When you sound the advance (alarm) the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys. 7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance. 8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.

8. ~Not every opening is God’s opening~
What is God saying in my spirit?
Rev 5:4
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
Look at it
Read it
It shall be opened Open
~Not every opening is God’s opening~

9. 1 Cor 2:9-12
9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

10. What we hear must be in the line with the Scriptures (1 John 4:1)
Must be tested
1 Cor 2:13 [AMP]
13 We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those being guided by the Holy Spirit].
What we hear must pull everyone into covenant towards our common destiny
