This past Sunday, we continued our discussion about hearing or feeling God's voice. We learned that God speaks through other people, circumstances, scripture, or our senses/dreams etc. Most of us agreed that it is hard to see God using your circumstances while you are in the midst of that trial or door closing, but His plan always ends up better than what we thought that we wanted.
At the end of the discussion, we talked about how to discern whether or not the feeling or thought is from the Lord. One writer said these things help you identify God's word: 1. Repetition 2. Confirmation 3. Must be inline with the teaching of the Bible 4. God often tells us to take bold actions
I am going to post several questions for consideration that will hopefully help you become more aware of God's voice in your life. We've discussed some of these over Discord, but there are some who were unable to attend. 1. What is distracting you from hearing God’s voice? What can you do to change it?
2. What are some things that you can do to hear God’s voice?
3. How often do you pay attention to His voice? In what way does God speak to you?
4. How did you know what you heard was from God? What’s your response? What is the result? I also found another helpful website that lists some great ideas in case you want to delve further into identifying God's voice or working on your communication with Him. https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/how-to-hear-from-god-regularly.html
