How can I hear God’s voice? This question stumped me for years. Today the answer is much clearer.


One of the key passages that helped me figure out this issue is this:


And he [the Lord] said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” (1Kings 19:11-12 KJV)


Another encouraging passage is James 1:5, “If you need wisdom — if you want to know what God wants you to do — ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking.” (NLT)


Jesus said; “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27)


Please listen to this podcast and learn how to hear God’s voice.

Is God there, but silent? Or does God still speak today? If God is speaking, how does He do it?


In this podcast I tackle the question: Does God still speak today?


The answer is “yes” and I give six ways we can hear God still speak. Some of them might be a surprise to you, yet all are biblical. 


Before listening to the podcast, how many ways God speaks can you think of?


Here are some hints—some of the passages I refer to in the podcast:


From the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what he made. As a result, people have no excuse.” (Romans 1:20 GW) 


Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God’s approval.” (2 Timothy 3:16 GW)


Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.” (Hebrews 1:1-4 ESV) 


Please listen and consider how we hear God still speak today. For more help with hearing from God check out these resources:

I grew up thinking that our church was the right one and that the other churches in our area were messed up. My answer to the question “Which denomination is right?” was certainly MINE! Later I learned that it was me who was messed up. While there are certainly churches that have abandoned Christ, there are many more that follow The Way.



I’ve really changed on this question: Which denomination is right? In fact, earlier today I attended a pastor’s fellowship with leaders of various churches and ministries in our area. I love to see the different families within the family of God!


Can we say “this denomination is right” or “that denomination is right” or that one group is better than another?


In this podcast I answer those questions.


Here are some of the Bible verses that I reference in this podcast to help answers “Which denomination is right?”:

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)


Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” (Acts 17:11 ESV)


Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15 ESV)


Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV)


And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25 ESV)


In this podcast I also state that the best policy is following God’s Word and living by this motto:


In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity


UNITY:

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12–13 ESV)


LIBERTY:

One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.” (Romans 14:5 ESV)


CHARITY:

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” (Colossians 3:14 ESV)
