The Bible is a collection of books written by men yet inspired by the Creator God. There are 66 books into two different testaments the Old testament and the New testament. The word testament also means covenant. In the Old testament the books are differentiated by law, poetry, etc. The New testament is history, gospels, epistles, etc.…

As I’ve progressed through this course, Knowing GOD’S Voice, we finally come to see the six stages come to fruition. The example given in this chapter is through the story of Gabriel meeting with mother Mary. Through her experience with God’s chosen angel she comes to feel hesitation all the way to complete and utter joy. God always comes…

I’m getting positive insight into the will of GOD through the experience of suffering in this chapter. The story of Elijah and the brook Cherith is always a great story to come back to when confusion kinda seeps into “the perfect will of GOD”. This chapter explores why we suffer but when it all comes down to it, it is to perfect our faith in Christ.

In this chapter we see GOD’S faithfulness even through man’s failure. Examples of men who admittedly failed before the face of GOD and others who failed and had sorrow but no repentance. King Saul’s sorrow only showed because he got caught compared to David’s great sin which he repented after being called out by Nathan is the example GOD wants…

Chapter 9 of Knowing GOD’S Voice is pretty much an overview of chapter 8. A biblical model for showing how to stay into the will of God is given for an example. Questions like does it serve a godly purpose, will it benefit me spiritually, and does it honor God are asked inside this biblical model. The verses of Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans…

One of my favorite topics concerning GOD’S Word is what’s not contained within it and chapter 8 does a masterful job in determining some truths. Questions like, does it glorify God and does it promote spiritual growth get to the heart of the matter when seeking HIS guidance concerning things such as smoking and even masturbation. Topics we tend…

The Bush still burns but it only burns when I lean not to my own understanding. I must honor HIM in thought, word, and deed. I can do this by praying, studying scripture, and seeking spiritual guidance. To seek HIS wisdom and give HIM preeminence in my life is to find the peace I’ve always desired. The only thing holding me back is me if I…

GOD speaks to mankind through various methods which includes His written word, a vital prayer life, godly counselors, open and closed doors like with the Apostle Paul.

Being led by the Spirit of GOD is in direct proportion to hearing HIS voice. This will not occur if one is entertaining other avenues such as being unequally yoked together with unbelievers. HIS WORD written should make it easier for us to hear HIS voice unwritten upon our hearts. Listening to HIS will sometimes involves outside circumstances…

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.”

For myself, the “will” of GOD has always been a mystery. Even when I sat in courses in my 20’s I struggled to grasp this concept. HE has desires for us and we have the ability and the power to choose to follow HIS steps or to disobey. It was once penned,…
