  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hey everyone,

Im quite new here. Im Mike.

Just wanted to ask everyone:

How can I be able to hear from God?
Im finding it difficult. I cant really understand or know that God is speaking to me. I think I seem to lack discernment.
Some advice would be good, please. And some prayer.
Thanx and God bless u all

:help: :pray:
 

Blessed-one

um...... sometimes people do get some sort of signs, but one needs to pray about it first. Start by praying, that will never get you wrong. :)

God speaks to us through many ways, through the people He put around us, through a verse? a book? a passing word?

Anybody have any cool examples of how God has spoken to them? I personally

I was at a summer camp once. At the end of that summer camp i was introduced to my friend's friend. We've never met before so i just said hi.

The instant i saw her, i was very compelled to give her a word. (prophesy or something) I just waited thinking it wasn't anything. But a while later that urge to say something to her just came out of me. I did prophesy over her that night and as far as i knew, i thought i was just making a total fool out of myself.

A little later though, what i did say to her telling her of her situation etc was spot on. I was like, woah. God's way of speaking to people is weird. :)

I hear from God in four ways:

1. Through reading and studying the Bible. It's God's word!

2. Through praying and listening for his voice. It's a still, small voice that sometimes I can hear in my heart. You know it when you hear it.

3. Through other Christians. Listening to them, what they have learned about God, and the rare special message they have received from Him.

4. Through nature. I can feel God's power, grace, majesty and other character traits and messages through observing nature.

But I rely heavily on hearing from God through His word, the Bible, because it has the most direct, consistent and reliable words.

I need help too learning on how to hear Christ's voice...
Wait a minute here...I just responded to a post of your's in a thread in this same Deeper Fellowship area... in which you said "I only hear Christ's voice"

And now I see that you need help in doing it over here. I'm slightly confused :scratch:

But if you can truly hear God's voice and want to know Him better... why not just ask Him what to do?
