HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE HEARD FROM GOD?

-
Hey SR ladies,

It is my prayer this post finds you well in Jesus name.

Hearing from God (because He speaks to us every day) is a topic that for many can bring confusion and even frustration. The common question pops up among many:

How do I know if I have heard God's voice?

There are different ways God can speak to us: through His word, through people or through the Holy Spirit.

Even though there is no clear cut answer to this, and there is no formula which we can follow. But there are some points we can be aware of, and questions we can ask ourselves to help us discern if we are hearing from God.


When God speaks, it ALWAYS aligns with His word, it will never deter from it.

Sometimes when God speaks it makes us uncomfortable, because He could be pushing us to another level and step outside our realm of comfort!

A question to ask yourself:

Is what I am hearing aligning with scripture?

The more time we spend with God and His word, the more we are able to discern what His voice would and would not say.
Another key point is knowing God's character, this is so important as a believer. The word tells us who God is as well as what He says.
Here is another question for you:

Is what I am hearing complimentary to God's character?



I pray that the points I have shared and questions for self reflection help you.


"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me" (John 10:27 NIV)



Stay blessed,

Dear Girls - A letter from Steven Mcleish

Dear girls, I have something to say to you:  the stuff you're listening to just isn't true  and I hope this gets through to you. You are not ugly, dumb or unattractive you need to take every thought captive because you captivate.  You are not just another stereotype and as you type your status know that you are more than your status and likes. You say you're fat and ugly but that is not what you post to be, a princess and daughter of the KING is what you're supposed to be. You are beautiful, unique, one in a billion, one of a kind, awesome, brilliant, creative,powerful,stunning, smart and a woman after God's own heart. And whether you think you're fat or thin just be comfortable in your own skin. And next time you think of the word beautiful don't forget to count yourself in. You are precious, a trusted diamond, boys who don't wait for you are not wise men because you are one of the most valued commodities there is.   And know you will never look like th

LEARNING FROM SEASONS: MALACHI 3:6

Hey sisters, Hope you're all enjoying the festivities that come with this time of year! Ok ok I have to admit, I'm such a winter baby. I'm all about the cooler weather, winter fashion, the aesthetic and of course CHRISTMAS. One thing I also love about this time of the year is the transition of season from winter to spring; flowers blossoming and the change in weather. It has always been a reminder to me of seasons of life. Life consists of so many seasons, some good and some more difficult. One thing we can be certain of however: Seasons change, the world is changing everyday but God NEVER changes. He is true to His word and His promises. He is the One that remains above all. “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6) He was mighty yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow. I wrote a post earlier in the year titled the best foundation - and it links with what was on my heart to write today. When we stand on the word and promises of God it becomes our

KNOWING HIM: DELIVERER

-
I just love reading about the different people in the bible that God delivered from all sorts of complex, difficult situations. For example, there was Paul and Silas who God delivered from prison (see Acts 16:23-26). There was also Daniel in the lion's den, whom God delivered from certain death by keeping the mouths of the lions shut! God also delivered David from afflictions; to be precise the mouth of the lion and the paw of a bear! (see 1 Samuel 17:37). These are just some of many stories that you can read about where God came through and brought them out the other side.  God is indeed a deliverer. Just like so many people in the bible, we will all face affliction at some point or another. Where we are hit with a brick wall and we think "now what?". There have been many times in my life where I was stuck in the lions den, the enemy would have loved so much for me to just bow and give up then and there. There is something we can do however: we can withstan
