1 | HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD | Heb 1:2 | kalos | 142255 | ||
HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD 'It seems like every couple of years a new fad comes down the pike promising a deeper, richer, fuller Christian life. If you've been around for a while you know what I mean. In my twenty years as a Christian we've had Power in praise; the "second blessing" as key to the powerful Christian life;...heavy-handed submission to church leadership; binding, loosing and rebuking of demons; name it and claim it, the School of the Prophets, HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD, power evangelism. These are all fads, ladies and gentlemen, evangelical joy-toys. They each may emphasize something that has biblical merit, but they do so in an unbalanced way, and each fails utterly as a panacea, as the one particular and principle thing that makes your Christian life "work."' ____________________ Quoted from "How to Keep from Getting Spiritually Weird" by Gregory Koukl. This is a transcript of a commentary from the radio show "Stand to Reason," with Gregory Koukl. (Emphasis added.) For more information go to: www.str.org |

2 | HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD | Heb 1:2 | EdB | 142271 | ||
Kalos Excellent article, however I think we need to keep in mind the Holy Spirit is our companion, guide and teacher. And while He often chooses to speak to us by illuminating scripture, there is not scripture that declares Him mute today. While He certainly won't supersede scripture, nor will He tell us which stock to invest in, He most certainly will talk to us. Every time I have experienced God speaking to me was to teach me a "life lesson" or to give me a message to preach. When I say a life lesson let me explain. I remember one time I was listening to a singer in church. I silently cried out to God, "why didn't you give me that talent to sing like that?" God's question back to me was, "why would you want to sing like that?" My immediate response was, "so I could better worship you Lord." Then God hit me with the high hard one asking, "How do you know I don't enjoy your singing more? Aren't you asking for a voice like that so you could sing before people? The worship I seek is from the heart." I crumpled in repentance, it was true my motivate was seeking the accolades of man not really worshipping God, God had given me a voice that was more than adequate to worship Him from the heart in spirit and in truth. From that day forward I have never failed to sing my praises to Him, perhaps to the dismay of many around me :-) EdB |
