Is God giving direct revelation? Part 4

Looking at these questions today in a final part to the 4-part series-

So many people ask the question in the title. Again, no. God is not speaking to individuals apart from His already-delivered written word. Today we look at another question that people ask:

If we do hear a voice, how do we know it's from the Lord? And if it's not from God, then who is speaking?

We know it's not due to:

--The Reaction

--The Content

--The Deception

Yet sometimes, a person gets curious about the Bible. They want to know, logically, why so many people find the Bible fascinating. They want to know if it is true, or the things in it are trustworthy. They investigate. ...

Read on to find out one way that some unsaved people investigate the Bible's claims, and how we as believers can adapt that method for our own discernment training.

If you have ever been in the midst of a controversy, you soon begin to see who your real friends are. As the controversy heats up, your friends edge away. They stop calling. They make excuses. They don't sit with you in the workplace cafeteria. It becomes obvious they don't want whatever 'taint' from your controversy to singe them, and they stay out of the circle of scorched earth you're in.

I look at what kind of reactions a younger woman and an older woman should be evidencing when asking and answering a Bible question,

Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

What does 'iron sharpening iron' mean?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible: "The proverb expresses the gain of mutual counsel as found in clear, well-defined thoughts. Two minds, thus acting on each other, become more acute."

Paul uses the word 'intercede' three times in rapid succession! That's huge! What does it mean for God to intercede for us? Tune in and hear scripture, hear the definition, and hear some encouragement! You are not alone.

False prophets were and still are a huge problem in the faith. So are false prophetesses! Today I'm looking at a sobering set of verses in Ezekiel. When God becomes angry He really gets angry! What angered him so much? Read or tune in to find out.
