1 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | Bodie | 137341 | ||
Last part of verse says, "they know His voice." My question is how do you teach people to hear His voice so that they know when God is speaking.I talk to a lot of people who are just unsure of whether they hear God or if its their own thinking. Thanks | ||||||
2 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | EdB | 137475 | ||
Bodie I think thread has gotten a little off subject. I don't believe God is giving revelation today that supercedes the written word found in scripture. By that I don't believe God reveals to people answers to ‘invented’ mysteries, that many come up with today. Nor is He saying you all are mistaken I meant thus and such where you guys have taken it to mean this or that. Further I do not believe God is a fortuneteller. By that I mean He will not tell us the winning lottery ticket or which color car to buy. Nor will He tell us which side of the bed to get out of or which sock to put on first. However we do know the Holy Spirit is our friend, guide, counselor and teacher and I believe He still communicates with us today. There have been times in my life when I simply didn’t know what to say to how to answer a question and after seeking God’s face I heard the answer as clear as if God was in front of me, speaking to me. It often was leading me to a passage of scripture but there have been times here He has lead me to an aspect of the situation I never would have thought of. If your looking for God to tell you the way to riches or what to say to impress the church forget it. However if you are truly seeking God you will hear Him. We have to develop a relationship with God long before the crisis so that when we are in crisis we do know God voice. It is a still small voice EdB |

3 | How to teach people to hear God's voice? | John 10:4 | Bodie | 137520 | ||
Hello EdB I'm not looking for fortunetelling or riches just a way to help individuals become more intimate with our blessed Lord and Savior. Some people that I've talked to say that they pray and seek God but He doesn't answer them in any form. There is no clear cut method but maybe some guidelines or instructions on what or how to do something in order to aline themselves with the Spirit until they hear His voice in some form. Bodie |

How Does God Speak To Us? God Does Not Mumble ____________________ 'God's specialized instructions "are not mumbled. They are not whispered. They are not nudged."' ____________________ 'How does God speak to us? 'I have to make clear what my point of view is so that it's not misunderstood. Let me capsulize it for you very quickly. My point of view is basically four quick points: 'First of all, learning to hear the voice of God is not taught as a Christian discipline that we must learn in order to live the optimal Christian life. This is the "hotline to God" view in which we get specialized and tailor-made instructions for our personal lives. That is not taught in Scripture. 'Secondly, God sometimes does give specialized instructions, so I'm not saying that God can't do that and I'm not putting God in a box. He does sometimes give specialized instructions. He did in Biblical times and He does in the present. But when we read in the Bible especially in the New Testament, which is what our discussion is about today, when He has done it, such specialized instructions are clear first of all. They are not mumbled. They are not whispered. They are not nudged. And they are, almost without exception in the New Testament, a sovereign intrusion by God into the circumstances rather than something that is first sought by a Christian. 'Thirdly, God's intrusion in these cases is sometimes through special gifts in the body that I believe are in full operation today, but are by very nature individual. In other words, every person has his own gift and each person does not have every gift. So this working through gifts can't be a means of every Christian hearing from God. In other words, sometimes God intervenes with a prophetic word, but since prophetic words only come through those people who have the gift of prophecy, it's not the kind of thing we all have to cultivate, to learn to do. 'Finally, there are clearly workings of the Spirit in the area of teaching, conviction of sin and comforting of individual Christians. I admit that those workings are private, individual and tailored to individual people. Those kinds of things are not in question here.' ____________________ Acts and the Voice of God by Gregory Koukl TO READ MORE GO TO: (www.str.org/free/commentaries/theology/actsvoic.htm) |
