Hearing God’s Voice
December 4th, 2006
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been doing a blog series on Hearing God’s Voice. I’ve talked about hearing God’s voice through circumstances, divine revelation, Godly counsel, and through the Bible.
Is one of these “more accurate” than any of the others? Yes. I believe so. Correct interpretation of the Bible is always the true voice of God. Every time. God will never speak something contrary to what He’s already said (in the Bible).
Just like in my pizza hut example, hearing God’s voice through circumstances is subject to human error. Hearing God’s voice through divine revelation is also subject to others’ selfish desires. And the Godly counsel we receive could always turn out to be not-so-Godly after all. But correct interpretation of the Bible is a sure thing. Every time.

I also think that when we make ourselves more aware of what the Word says, and we begin to hear from God more and more through that, we are then better able to hear God clearly and truly through the other three means. By knowing His Word, we don’t have to go through a long process of doubt and confusion about, “Did God really say it, or was it just me?” We hear from Him, and compare it to the Word…and there you have it!
PS-You’re the greatest!
