How can we discern "God's voice"?

Some people in the medical world call people who "hear voices" psychotic.

The reality is that "God's voice" does NOT cause manipulations in reality.  It proves certain spiritual truths in real existence.

For example, Joseph of the bible was given a dream.  His dream was that he would rule over his brothers, or that his brothers would bow down to him.  His dream took years to unfold, but eventually his dream became a reality.

The same is true of other sorts of "God Signs."  Little miracles here and there produce the very "God signs."  Perhaps a person suddenly "met" someone else without previously speaking to them about meeting them.  They didn't know each other before, but when they start to engage in conversation it turns out that this individual knows his favorite uncle.  Not because the uncle is famous, but because the acquaintance is strong enough that they happen to meet upon the same topic of conversation at the right time.

"God's voice" can give us warning signs and triumph signs.  He can tell us whom to marry?  (sorry western learning Christians, Christian thinking is NOT built on dating websites)  He can tell us to stay with the spouse we are currently with?  He can warn us when a loved one is in spiritual danger?  He can even show up in dreams and give us VERY visible presence.  So on and so forth.  These things can come through dreams or they can come through face to face interactions.

All in all, God signs ALWAYS lead people to embrace "the kingdom."  They would never lead people astray (psalm 23) or to a psychotic vision that encourages people to "hate" God or other people.

Write down those "God Signs."  Pray for more "God Signs" to come into your life.....his directions never fail us.
