Bible Question: How can we tell the difference from when God is speaking to us from what we think? |
Bible Answer: When we are born again [have the indwelling of God's Spirit], we are now able to understand the heart and mind of God thru the knowledge of the son of God. When we know and understand God, we automatically know his will. In other words we know not to kill. Not that there needs to be a written law by God that says dont kill, but that we feel inside of us that that is wrong.It is God's Spirit dealing with our spirit, telling us that it is wrong.We can feel it without ever seeing it written as a law. That feeling is called grace. In the same way, God gives us curtain desires to do his will.For example, if your at church and something is going to take place,[an event],and it requires someone to cook a huge meal for the congregation, and you feel inside a desire to be the one to do it, then that is the holy Spirit prompting your spirit to do it.Simply put, grace is God's Spirit giving you the desires to do His will. It is up to you to learn about the heart of Jesus so that you can grow strong in understanding what His will is! God will always speak to you in accordance to His will. I hope this gives you a better understanding. Read 1Corinthians 2:5 thru 16 |
