INTRODUCTION
The most widely quoted research on communication states that upwards of 93% of communication is not the actual words you use, but instead the tone, inflection body language, etc.. With so much of communication being non-verbal, it is no surprise at all that miscommunications are a common experience for us. This is why God gifts us with the greatest communicator and interpreter the universe has ever known - the Holy Spirit.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Humanity has not received a more meaningful and impactful gift than the God of the universe gifting His Spirit to His people. Although the Holy Spirit is revealed to us in so many powerful ways, He can at times be difficult to understand. But Jesus’ promise holds true; “seek and you will find.”
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ John 10:27-30
The voice of God is precious to all who call Him Father. This voice is consistently gifted to us through the Holy Spirit. He usually speaks to the heart using the languages of truth & love while confirming His words with the inflection of peace.
