1 | Psalm 46:10 | Ps 46:10 | Hank | 128030 | ||
In pain of bursting your bubble, I submit to you that there are far better mentors out there than Joyce Meyer! I have no idea of what she put in her book, "How to Hear From God" -- and really don't want to know. But I can tell you this -- and don't need to write a book to tell you -- the way to hear from God is by reading the Book He wrote! He has revealed Himself in Scripture. Scripture thoroughly furnishes the man of God unto all good works (2 Tim 3:17). Perhaps when we've all mastered all the things He's already said to us in His holy word, He will let us hear from Him again! But I've been working 55 years at trying to attune my ear to "hear from God" all the glorious things He has spoken in His word, the Bible, and, believe me, I've only just begun this sacred journey, barely having scratched the surface. My advice to you is to forget the ballyhoo of Joyce Meyer and go to the word of God and listen to what He has to say to you. Petition Him to help you, ask Him: "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (Ps. 119:18). ..... There is considerably more involved in "hearing from God" -- much more that He wants us to do -- than to sit in our little booth, as Jonah did, waiting to hear from God, and hoping all the while for a divinely appointed shrub to shade our heads and bring us a measure of comfort. ...... Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still (cease striving) and know that I am God." It is always good to have a spiritual quiet time every day to pray, to praise, to meditate on the love, the mercy, and the awesome power of God. That is the way God hears from us, through our prayer and praise. We hear from God through His eternal word. So it is also of utmost importance to spend time regularly and consistently in His word, reading it, marking it, learning it, and inwardly digesting it. --Hank | ||||||

Thanks for your input. I have been saved 9 years and all I did was pray in tongues and go to church, two years ago I moved back to my home town and since I've moved home, I have learned so much about the word, which my pastor says that when I first go saved that was my foundation. I have just started to read my bible daily, I read it then but it was a difference, I would read it maybe once every other month or longer. I have started my reading at Genesis, I'm reading the whole bible in two years. I'm still learning how to do things that I didn't then 3 years ago such as study, meditate and spend that time with the Lord. Thanks and God bless! |
