In this moving message from our “Encounter” series, Pastor Tyler Lynde shares “Hearing the Voice of God for Others.” Tyler opens up about his personal journey through grief after losing his brother, detailing how his family navigated sorrow and questioned their faith. Amidst their struggle, they found healing through the spiritual gifts described in 1 Corinthians 12, which guided them from despair to restoration.

Tyler explores how God desires to speak not only to us but also through us. He discusses spiritual gifts like the Word of Wisdom, providing divine guidance beyond human understanding, and the Word of Knowledge, offering insights into situations that couldn’t be known naturally. He also delves into Prophecy, emphasizing its role in edifying and comforting others.

Emphasizing that love is the foundation for operating in these gifts, Tyler reminds us that without love, even the most extraordinary abilities amount to nothing. He highlights the importance of humility and discernment, encouraging us to involve mature believers when interpreting and applying these gifts to ensure they align with God’s will.

This message challenges us to consider the incredible privilege of being used by God to deliver His messages to others. By earnestly desiring spiritual gifts, especially prophecy, we can become instruments of God’s grace, offering hope and encouragement to those around us. Tyler invites us to be attentive to the Holy Spirit’s leading and willing to step out in faith when prompted.

Join us as we explore how to hear the voice of God for others, embracing the opportunity to impact lives through His guidance. Let’s journey together toward a deeper understanding of how the Holy Spirit works through us, transforming ordinary moments into divine appointments.
