Discerning The Voice Of God In A Few Steps

By Monique Potts


Many times, Christians would have a very hard time reaching out to God simply because he does not speak to humans. The Bible would tell readers that whenever believers would pray, the Lord would listen, but not many people know what exactly to listen for. If one finds himself in this type of situation, then maybe this guide to discerning the voice of God may be of help.

Now if one would have a dilemma in his life, the best thing to do would be to of course pray to the Lord for guidance. Just like everyone else, God will only help those who would seek his help. So if one would want the help of God, then he has to tell God all of his problems and let God provide the best solution.

Now the best way to know whether God is talking to someone is by reading the Scripture. Everything that God would want to say to people is actually written there in that little holy book that is known as the Bible. So if one would want to start his quest on finding the voice of God, the best place to start would simply be the Scriptures that can be found in this ancient and holy book.

Now the best place to look for wisdom from the Lord would be in the Bible simply because the Holy Book is not a book that is filled with stories and laws. It is also filled with a lot of verses that would contain a lot of practical lessons that one could apply in his life to make it easier. It is all just a matter of finding the right verse.

Often times God would make use of other people to help one be able to know what to do in his life. Of course the closest people to talk to would actually be family and friends. So actually, one would be able to find the voice of God through the voices of the people that are actually close to him.

Now one may also seek help from those who are outside his circle in order to have a more objective point of view. One could seek help from people who are experienced in helping others. The reason that churches were built was so that believers would be able to gain strength from each other. That way, all the people in the community will be able to help each other.

Of course after getting the opinions the other people that the Lord has provided, then it is time to get back to the Scriptures. After talking to other people about his worries, one will now be able to make more sense of the Scriptures. After doing this, one has just been able to experience the voice of the Lord.

Now God will always give indirect answers simply because humans are not able to directly communicate with God. It is for this reason that God would often use people as instruments or tools to help those in need. God would also make use of the Scriptures to impart knowledge and wisdom.
