    Hearing God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 25, 2025
     | 159 views

    God doesn't appease our flesh when He speaks. Our flesh has to contend with what He communicates. This is the acid test to know whether it is God talking to us or whether we are hearing our inner voice or familiar (spirits) voices (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6,27).

    INTRODUCTION: According to the Bible, God speaks in several ways. In the Old Testament, God often communicated with His people directly, through theophanies, or audible speech, as when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4) or gave the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1). ...read more

    When we get to know Jesus, we can trust Him that wherever He is leading us is good and for our good. And so we want to put ourselves in the place of hearing His voice.

    Last week, we spoke about, "The Peace of Jesus, the valuable gift of Peace". Most importantly, he asked what the source of our peace and its quality is. I think this will be a good juncture to ponder on that point “the source and quality of our Peace” while reflecting on our lives and ...read more
