Sermons on Satan Made Me Do It:

Hearing God's Voice

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Nov 8, 2014

How do we know if God is speaking to us? How can I recognize God's voice? Does God still speak? Does God speak to me? There are 3 main voices we hear our entire lives...God's, Satan's, and our own. How do we know which is which?
