Bible Note: Lissamz, I did not intend to place judgment on those you know who are saying they hear from God. I don't know them. I used this text to be helpful to you in that it helps you know that you're not deficient if your faith because you do not “hear” God like they say they do.. One of my most respected Bible teachers has said too that he would love to hear from God as others apparently have. He is anything but unspiritual. True spirituality is demonstrated not in esoteric feelings, but in how one lives their life. Do you live your life like you love the LORD your God with your whole being and your neighbor as yourself? Do you see the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control more readily apparent in your life? These are the measures of true Spirituality, not hearing voices, feeling tingly, or anything else, as nice as those things may be. MJH |
