Section 1.5: Outside Activity: The Revelatory Gift

The purpose of this assignment is to promote and prompt listening to the Holy Spirit. It is not intended to determine whose gift is better developed.

Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Through this assignment we want to become aware of how God speaks in many creative ways about things we might consider insignificant or even silly. As we build a history of listening and hearing God in the small things, we will be able to receive His heart messages about bigger things
