I've heard GOD's voice twice, quite clearly.
The first time, I was thinking of taking martial arts classes, and GOD said, "If you do this, I WILL TAKE MY PROTECTION FROM YOU." I obeyed, and I've seen GOD keep me safe in some very bad situations.
The second time was when I was struggling with temptation. I had a very bad addiction (for 23 years) and had made a commitment to fight and overcome the addiction. I'd told myself that after the burial of my friend (who had passed on), I too would bury the addiction forever. However, it didn't happen. Barely a week later, the temptation to indulge 'one last time' was knocking on my door, and that was when I heard the voice of GOD again.
HE ASKED, "Do you love THE LORD?"
I said yes.
AND HE ANSWERED, "THEN DON'T DO IT."
This brought to mind the verse in which JESUS SAYS, "If you love ME, obey MY COMMANDMENTS." Although I did fall, I learned an important lesson: JESUS is the solid rock we need to stand on. And each time temptation calls, JESUS is asking the same question HE ASKED Peter, "Do you love ME?"
