The voice of Satan is easy to discern - as you said, it's condemning or unscriptural. I'm one of the people who finds that hearing from God comes very naturally and discerning it from my own voice also comes easily. That said, I think there is wisdom in standing waiting for confirmation, giving it time - if it is from God it the conviction will endure. <BR/><BR/>Your comment re: listening to leadership. I think one even needs to be careful here. There are many pastors and people with powerful ministries that have been told by their pastors or other leaders, "You will never be/do it". It is good to listen to another voice and consider what is said but leaders, like everyone, are human and can be wrong. I've seen leaders discourage some amazing people with words from their own spirit. I don't want to say we shouldn't listen to leadership - but we should be discerning here too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584790939349877081.post-30200000653010264502009-01-06T15:02:00.000+13:002009-01-06T15:02:00.000+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584790939349877081.post-25922347043012790662009-01-06T11:26:00.000+13:002009-01-06T11:26:00.000+13:00I have had stints of hearing God or the Holy Spiri...I have had stints of hearing God or the Holy Spirit tell me to do things. It's usually "keep silent" when arguing with my wife. <BR/>Another time I am quite sure I heard a voice in my head tell me to confess. Then shortly after were a couple things that had buried themselves into my subconscious. When I confessed to the people I had hurt, a day later I heard it again and then was reminded of two other things. It happened three times and it was painful each time but I think God was honored each time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1584790939349877081.post-4840233454746620352009-01-06T10:58:00.000+13:002009-01-06T10:58:00.000+13:00Hey Clive.Great topic. so relevant for our young...Hey Clive.<BR/>Great topic. so relevant for our young people and our selves. looking forward to stealing you notes!!!Matthew Martynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318435197390485301noreply@blogger.com
