1 | "Being able to here from God" | Romans | hfaces | 107406 | ||
Hi Blazer: We have it better under the New Testament than they had it under the old. As you said they had to go go to a prophet, we have the guide inside, the Holy Spirit. Rom 8:14 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. KJV Also in the OT they were lead by fleeces, as Gidion. The bad thing about fleeces is that the devil can manipulate things in the natural realm to make us think something is God when it isn't. They would have loved to have had what we have today about being led from within. If we know the voice and leading of God it shouldn't take long to know what to do. God isn't keeping his will from us. Imagine God wanted us to do something and then he never told us then punished us for not doing it. If we stay quiet and believe God to speak to us in our hearts, He will. John 10:27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. NIV Blazer I'm believing that you always know and you always do the will of God |

Greetings Blazer: The New Testament prophet has it better than before, I don't know if they necesarially hear better. Prophets or anyone in the ministry full time have to hear from God as we do for their personal life. There is a difference when they are ministering by the Spirit of God, here there are certain gifts tha come into play, word of wisdom, word of knoledge, tongues and interpretation of tongues which is equivalent to prophecy. The office of the prophet changed from the Old Testamenet to the New Testament. The prophet of the Old Testament was to give direction for the nation of Israel or to the king. Many times people want a prophecy from a prophet for direction. Prophecy should do 3 things, 1 Cor 14:3 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. KJV It shoud edify, exhort, and comfort. A prophecy should confirm something that is already in your heart. I wish we could talk person to person, but I will try to explain it. In Romans 8:16 it says that the Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. Many times when we want a leading we sit around waiting for God to say something and nothing happens. We need to give God something to bear witness to. For example, it seems you need to do something, you take a step in that direction and you wait for God to bear witness to it. He bears witness by peace, always follow the peace in your heart. If there is peace, that means yes, do it, take another steo in that direction. He also may bear witness against doing something. Example, you need to go to a friends house and you decide to take a certain road, all of a suddenly you feel uneasy, lack of peace, thats God telling you to wait or maybe go a different way. Does this make sense? Basically there is the revealed will of God thats found in the Bible, then the non revealed will of God, like who to marry, what your calling is. This is found by fellowship with the Father and following the guide inside. Think of it this way, imagine a street light in you, green means go, yellow, means caution, red means stop. Peace means go, not sure means caution, no peace means stop, don't do it. Conscience is the voice of the spirit, reasoning is the voice of the soul or your mind, feelings are the voice of your body. The best thing to do is follow your conscience. I hope this helps you I will be praying for you. Blessings |
