My Ladies Bible Study
I need to share that I am being totally blessed by my church's Ladies Bible Study. We are studying the book, Discerning the Voice of God, by Priscilla Shirer. The study includes video teaching. We watch the video one week, and then spend the week doing daily studies based on the teaching on the video. Then, the next time we meet, we discuss what we studied.
This week, the topic is the Holy Spirit. I am learning how to confrim what the Holy Spirit is telling me. She gives five M's to use to confirm that God is speaking through the Holy Spirit.
1. Look for the message of the Spirit. Consciously turn your attention inward to hear God speak.
2. Live in the mode of prayer. Don't worry about it. Keep turning the matter over to God in prayer.
3. Search out the model of Scripture. Does what you think you are hearing contradict God's Word?
4. Submit to the ministry of Eli. Seek out the counsel of a wise, mature believer who is able to discern God's leading in his or her own life.
5. Expect the mercy of confirmation. Ask God for confirmation of the message.
I am so grateful that I have an Eli in my life. I have learned so much about God and His mercy from my dear friend, Ruth.
God bless.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

That sounds like an awesome study and great ways to know if what you are "hearing" is indeed of God because as we all know satan is the king of lies and he's more than willing to try to trick us into thinking that what he tells us is of God. As more and more time passes and we come nearer to the end times we especially need to learn to tell truth from satans' lies! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for sharing this. I'm a steps and list person so things like this help me out alot. We are studying Acts of the Apostles and Paul's letters in BSF this year and we have really seen how Holy Spirit is the true guiding power that we receive when we believe. And that we truly are not alone.
It's so important to be in prayer and constantly listening to Holy Spirit's guidance and asking him to reveal the truth of God's word. This will make hearing from Him and discerning that it is HS that is speaking, much easier. This is what I am working on now. I struggle with grieving the HS by going on my own and listening to my voice much more often.
