Where is your prayer closet? Do you have a quiet place where you and God connect every day? If not, you should claim one!
During his time on our planet, Jesus climbed the mountain every day at dawn to speak with His Father. We believe this practice helped Jesus live as God while in a human body. He shared every little thing with his Father, who gave him both direction and understanding.
The Bible is the written Word of God. 2nd Timothy 2:15 says, "Study to show yourself approved unto God as a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth." God also speaks to us in our Spirit that He imparted to us when we asked the Holy Spirit to come and fill us, as Acts 2 describes. It's that "still small voice" that Scripture describes to us. Are you listening to His still small voice in your life?
Before you hope to interact with God speaking to you in His still small voice, you should understand Him through the Bible, which is His written Word. Be assured that God will never ever contradict His own written Word. So if you do not understand his Word, you will not be in a position to recognize His still small voice. You will not know if you are actually hearing his voice. Perhaps you're simply listening to your conscience, or worse still the demons who like whispering to you.
One mistake we can make in trying to discern God's quieter voice in our hearts is to believe that his modern "prophets" can speak to us for Him. And while that's true in the cases of godly prophets who only use what confirms His Word, there are plenty of false prophets who can easily lead us astray. Jesus warned that they would proliferate in the last days.
For example, Joel Osteen, the author of " Your Best Life Now" tries to tell us what that might be. But who can define our best life when we are citizens of Heaven? Rick Warren belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations, and his loyalty has actually been purchased by the worldly powers that be. He is an adviser to former President Bill Clinton and an adviser to the Universalist One Faith Foundation established by Tony Blair, the former U.K. Prime Minister. My prayer with the passing years as I've observed these false prophets become important in the organized church today is that these repent and comprehend for leading the church astray.
