If you do n...Discernment, discernment, discernment! If you do not know the difference between God speaking to you or the devil you should not act on anything. As Christians, we should know the difference between good and evil. Good should produce love, joy, peace, goodness, gentleness, kindness, self-control, faithfulness, and patience, The Fruit of the Spirit. We need to learn how to open our eyes more to why we want to act in a certain way and ask ourselves if The Holy Spirit is guiding us to act in a particular way, and how God feels about the act. Too often, we follow the flesh and say we are following God when the act possesses no godliness whatsoever. <br />It is not uncommon for God to speak to His children. I tell people all of the time to learn how to recognize God's voice when He is speaking to them. You will never grow in Christ if you do not. For me, God speaks to me directly, through other people like "Joyce Meyer", my spiritual mother, through dreams, books. We speak to God through prayer and heartfelt conversations. Speaking to God and receiving responses from God is how we grow, in Christ and become obedient. People who make cruel acts in the name of God are no surprise to God. God knew what they would do prior to them doing it. As a matter of fact, He gave them over to the very thing they so wanted to worship. We spread the Word of God because as Christians this is what we are supposed to do. After that, God has it covered. You can teach/preach the Gospel, you can live the life. Only God can bring them home.<br />Thanks for writing on my favorite subject, "God", Phanti. You are correct in saying that too many people do not grown in Christ. I tell you, we have more mature churchgoers than we do Christians. When we learn to want the "Will of God" Only, we are mature indeed.<br />Much Love.<br /><br />Debra La Chelle DupreeDebra La Chelle Dupreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949815045694818401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8601183470302638806.post-12726634939281360132010-10-08T14:58:51.105-07:002010-10-08T14:58:51.105-07:00Discernment, discernment, discernment!
