How To Listen To God by yommyuk(op): 9:48am On Aug 23, 2015
Most of us are better at talking than listening, but communicating with the Lord involves both. God intends for His children to hear His voice. His goal is the same today as it has always been—to be certain that we comprehend the truth about Him, to conform us to His ways, and to equip us for communicating His truth to others.

One of the main instruments God uses to speak to modern-day believers is His Word. For this reason, studying the Bible is more important than getting breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day. We can easily live on one daily meal, but we cannot survive in this wicked world unless we feast on Scripture. The result of regular consumption of God’s Word is a discerning spirit. When a Christian shares something the Lord has laid on his heart to tell us, our spirit verifies the truth of the message
.
Regardless of how loudly God speaks, we won’t hear unless listening is a priority. We must ask the Lord to teach us to hear and then work at having a quiet attitude. An internal “receiver” tuned to the Father develops only through committed prayer, meditation, and practice at listening. In addition, we need a spirit of submission to obey His commands
.
God’s goal for us is a lifestyle of sensitivity so we can hear Him in noisy or calm situations. Listening is a critical skill for ensuring that our hearts are open to divine guidance in every circumstance. In addition to the nourishment provided by our feast of Scripture, there is also “dessert”—recognition of our Father’s voice.

Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.

Mark 4:24
And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.

. Isaiah 30:21
And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left

....... They were attacked on their way from finalising the preparation for their wedding taking place in a weeks time, she and her fiancé. Right there in her presence the attacker stabbed her fiancé to death with a kitchen knife and left the knife on the lifeless body; how traumatising that was for her - now fast forward, years later she works as a chef, not just any chef; she does wonders with kitchen knives, the fastest chopper you could imagine.....

So I asked her "what are you doing still using a kitchen knife with what you been through because of it?" She answered and said "the attacker could've used any other thing you know, why a kitchen knife exactly? She went on; the kitchen knife is not dangerous on its own you see, but it can serve you just the way you want it to; it served the attacker just the way he wanted. She then asked me "Who committed the crime, the kitchen knife or the attacker?" And I was perplexed: she shrugged her shoulders and with a smile went on with her chopping

Moral of the story: humans can abuse everything and anything. You can't say something is inherently bad because of how it was used by imperfect myopic humans with personality issues.

Thank God I'm saved and know I'll end up in heaven. I suggest you read the Bible so you can find out who this Satan really is and if he indeed has your best interest at heart. Believe me he does not, I pray you are saved before its too late.

So basically that is your excuse to carry on the slave master's, Klu klu khan's traditions ? Did you find out there is a god up there yourself?
