How do we know?

You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?" Deuteronomy 18:21

How do we know God's voice?

The answer is pretty simple. If it comes true, it was Him. If it never happens, it wasn't.

Lord, I don't know if I like this - waiting to know if it was You speaking. Okay, if something doesn't happen, it wasn't You, but I could wait my whole life to discover I listened to something else. My desire is to clearly hear Your voice and to know beyond all doubt that it is You.

This is where Your Spirit makes the difference. Most real communication occurs within the context of relationship. Through a relationship with Your Son, we no longer need to wonder. I can know it is You because I know Your heart.

Father, I want to know You. I want to hear Your voice. Fill me with Your Spirit. Protect me from the evil one.
