Episode 21: Hearing God’s Voice | How to Know When God Is Speaking with Desirae
How do we know when God is speaking to us?
Throughout Scripture, God spoke to His people in many different ways. In this episode of the Gems of Knowledge Podcast, my daughter and I look at biblical examples including Samuel, Isaiah, Hagar, Elijah, and others who heard and responded to God.
We also share some of our own experiences and talk about an important part of hearing God: learning to recognize His voice, testing what we hear, and responding in obedience.
Jesus said, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 NLT
God desires relationship with us. As we spend time with Him, know His Word, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can grow in recognizing His voice.
Recognize. Test. Obey. Experience. 💎
