hearing God speak
being raised a good, clear-headed, baptist :) i have just been trying to stretch my faith, and grow a little bit when it comes to the topic of hearing God speak. i started reading a book God.net. i have to admit that after the first 2 chapters, i was tempted to put it down, because i was like...come on. God does NOT speak that specifically to people! then i was like...you know what? maybe he does! i mean, after all. he does say "my sheep hear my voice". and there are many times that God talks about his voice in the Bible. my problem is, how do i differentiate when it is God speaking, and my crazy brain going a million miles a minute?!? does He speak specific things? i want to know BIBLICALLY, not experientially. what are your thoughts?!?!

ReplyDeleteCan't really comment on that, but I also just read a book (recommended by your super Aunt Tracy) called "The Shack". In some ways it was fluffy but in other ways it started me thinking and looking at the way I view God and the Trinity. Thanks Tracy.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some really helpful comments and not just fluff from your crazy A.L.
