Bible Question: 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 |
Bible Answer: Hearing God is just like building faith, many wait until there is a crisis situation before they try to do either. If we get in proper relationship with God early in our Christian walk the voice of God will be so familar to us that when we hit the bump in the road and need His direction we will know it is God. How do we teach people to hear God? Start with prayer not 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there, "catch as catch can". But rather in concentrated and tarrying prayer where we spend time alone speaking and listening to God. Soon we will hear His voice and know that we know it is God. I hope this helps EdB |
