❌ ★QUOTE by Justin Peters “If you want to HEAR from GOD, READ your BIBLE; If you want to AUDIBLY HEAR from GOD, READ your BIBLE OUT LOUD.” ❌ AMEN Justin ‼️ ❤️ 👏👏👏
So Justin's dog hears his voice but we as sheep cannot hear God speak except the call of salvation. Think about that and how a dog will hear but we can't according to these men.
@@RTreturns Context determines the meaning - always. The context of John 10 is crystal clear. Please watch the next two videos.
Hey guys! Always good to hear from y'all! We so appreciate the good work y'all do at SO4J!!
@@JustinPetersMin Yes John 10 is clear to those that understand that Jesus audience would know of what it meant to be a Sheppard. A Shepard does not call out his sheep once in a life time. This is done on a regular basis. I believe the majority of the time that God speaks through his word but does not limit himself to how he will speak.
@@RTreturns The unmistakable context is that of salvation. Both the verses before and after make it so crystal clear that it takes effort to miss. Please watch the next video when I post it in a week or so. We will deal with John 10:27 specifically. Thank you.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I am a baby Christian, just born again a couple of years ago. I listened to every single one of these "prosperity preachers" and have been convinced that since I don't hear God's voice or speak in tongues, I am not saved and that I am going to hell. I have been struggling with that, thinking the worst, for a while now and really needed to hear this. Thank you so much. God Bless you!
Hi Donna - you are so very welcome! you are just exactly the person Jim and I are wanting to help. Please email me at justin@justinpeters.org and put "Donna from TH-cam" in the subject line and I will attach a list of resources that I recommend to people. These will be of great help to you. also, if you will provide your hometown, I will try to find a good church in your area. Blessings to you :)
@@JustinPetersMin Hello Peters! I’m a baby Christian and when I first became a Christian I was very legalistic and borderline self righteous. I thought that God had angry at me and hated me. God then showed me how gracious He truly is and how much He loves me. Jesus freed me from legalism 💖. I am a young person and feel alone in my faith. Can you pray for my friends? They really need Jesus, God bless! ❤️
@@JustinPetersMin hi Justin can you please help me find a good church in my area? Would really appreciate that if you had the time to I know your indefinitely busy! You’re videos have helped me a lot
Donna T, be careful not to look to men to follow them, who can lead you into error, but seek the FACE OF GOD, who is eternal, who doesn't change, the same yesterday, today and forever. He calls us to repent and SEEK HIS FACE; in Him is no darkness at all. And His nature is shown in this; He came to save the lost, giving His own life to save those who had no hope. Such a God is worthy of devotion. And He tore the veil so that we can enter into the presence of God. That means that THE ONLY THING that stops us from being in direct relationship with God, is our choice to repent and seek Him, giving up all else. He wants us to be BORN of the SPIRIT! This is the will of God! Then He will not say; 'I never KNEW you, you workers of lawlessness', but 'come in, good and faithful servant'. It is not enough to know the word; we need to KNOW GOD.
@@nl3280 Hi Naomi - I will surely try. Where do you live?
I’m only 10 minutes into this video and I’m already being blessed. I’m one of those who have thought “why is He speaking to them and not me?” Thank you for putting my heart at peace.
Amen God speaks He is not dead. I hate that Peters has so much bitterness in his heart he teaches a false Gospel. God spoke to someone to save me as I lay dying in my house they came and rescued me. Many more instances. Just because some manipulate and say God said when God didn’t for them to manipulate someone doesn’t mean that God doesn’t actually ever speak. Gods not dead He is personal and is involved in His children’s life. He speaks through dreams, intuitively in us, through the Word, through others to us, many many ways
I suspect these people hear all that because it pays well.
@@joshsimpson8143 if you think he
Do you think it’s possible that God in his wisdom and insight chose to communicate to his kids in scripture so that they would have an objective standard and not be led astray by people claiming to hear his voice? He is not dead, he is alive. What is being called out here is people who would say “the Lord spoke to me and he said you should take that job” or whatever. That’s not Gods established methods of communication today and it’s for good reason. We ought to thank him for that
@@shadowmist1246 I just see too much rotten fruit from this line of theology. People not going to the doctor when they need to, friends questioning their faith because they couldn't heal a family members cancer. Genuine Christians questioning their faith because they don't hear the voice of God or speak in tongues. And recently a young couple unable to properly and biblically mourn for their dead daughter because they believed shed be raised from the dead...she wasnt. Personal friends who believed that it was their sin or lack of faith that prevented the blessings of God (If you read Job this should sound familiar.) It looks glamourous and powerful on the cameras...but off camera its toxic.
I hear the voice of God every day. It sounds like my wife reading the bible out loud 😁
Lol, lucky man sounds like you were blessed big time. Good for you man 😁👍
@@intothekey Thank you. People who seek the voice of God outside of the Bible usually end up hearing and following the wrong voices
@@GioTummy3463 My brother made a big decision because he thought he heard the voice of God. We run a family business and he just walked out and quit leaving a mess for us to deal with. He wasn't apologetic about it at all and it really grieved my father who runs it and worked hard putting a lot into training him.
A lot of what people call God is just the Prince of the air, satanic impulses without reason that hurt the ones we love.
@@intothekey If hearing the voice of God was fundamental, God wouldn't have left us with the bible but rather with a mere pamphlet saying: "Just tune in to my voice and whispers" 😉
I hope you seek God's face soon, otherwise it might be too late! God wants a personal relationship with you.
I needed this really badly because of my lack of speaking in tongues and God not speaking to me blah, blah. Justin your ministry mean so much to me, I prayed for discernment and then I start listening to you and similar minded pastors and now I know READ THE BIBLE!
@ Elane vd Westhuizen
- All tongues are, are written and spoken language's. Can you speak spanish / russian etc etc. If so, then you can speak in tongues..
@@marklester9679 Yes, the tongues spoken on Pentecost were spoken languages ( not gibberish) ....but the people speaking on the day of Pentecost were speaking the Gospel.
I accepted Christ and was told the next week that bc I didn't speak in tongues and still smoked cigarettes I wasn't a REAL Christian.
About 5 spiritual minutes later I went to Bible College for a few years and KNOW that my gift is not tongues and am so glad that it's a gift that actually helps other Christians!
I have learned how to stop trying to do God's will and am learning how to let Him do it completely.
Our efforts, as sincere as they may be, are just that. Ours.
When we are weak, then He is strong is a wonderful and true passage!
May God bless you and your beloveds as you seek to serve Him in Spirit and in Truth!
One other thing I learned in Bible College around people who were raised in Christian homes and were Christians since birth, which I was in awe of for at least a year, let me down.
Another good lesson.
Humans who accepted Christ's salvation are not always right!.
Just for you let me share with you as a Christian brother, Yes i firmly believe the Bible but not in what is called dispensational truth, I do believe what is written and yes I speak in tongues, to me I never had a problem with that and if I meet Christians who not speak in tongues It is not an issue to me except that they do missing an important part in their Christian walk I think. (that just my opinion)
I was attending a Pentecostal church and came to know an older gentleman from a Dutch Reformed background and they are very conservative, but somehow, he got baptized in the H. Spirit and spoke in tongues, now I am from the RC church when the mass was still done in Latin so I did understand Latin, I was a choir boy for maybe 10 years or so, the Lord saved me and baptized me and I do speak in tongues for the past 50 plus years.
I have been a Construction Manager and ran very large projects so a down to earth sort of guy, but one day in church the older gentlemen was sitting beside me and was speaking in tongues so I listen intently, he was praying in Latin and I perfectly understood what he was praying and it sounded wonderfully sweet...later I told him, and he sounded so surprised at the same time he felt so happy about my sharing this with him.
Now if you sincere yes, it is oke both ways I am not a supporter of the prosperity teachings or guys like Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joyce Meyer etc. etc. but I always, enjoy the many ministries I see preaching the Gospel, labels don't mean much to me, Jesus does......
I am very concerned about what is happening with many of the mega-churches like Potters House, and many others are not preaching the true gospel.
Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift and not all of us are gifted with this. I’m not and I’m not concerned about it. I’m curious as to why it’s so important to you, and others for that matter.
Granted, I’m skeptical about tongues and prophesy during our present times. Evangelism is all the prophesy we need. Not doom and gloom to force repentance. Even Justin disagrees with both prophesy and tongues as being useful today.
Any thoughts from anyone reading my response? 🤔
The whole hearing from God teaching has brought about so much confusion in my life. Decision making can be overwhelming because of it. I’m praying these videos will really help me.
THANK YOU both. I am 63, raised in an Assembly of God church. I have believed my whole life I could and should seek God about the big decisions and could and would receive God's direction before making the decision. Never happened. I thought I was deafened to God's voice by sin. Guilt and fear have ruled my life. Makes me mad...and sad.
Lynnn The LORD TAUGHT US IN HIS WORD. ONE OF THE MANY THINGS IS >>THE LORDS PRAYER IN MATTHEW 6
Praise the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY,!
AMEN
Lynn Bigner, I wasn't raised in an AoG, but fellowshipped in one for several years. Nothing I had been taught when growing up prepared me to evaluate the teaching of a Pentecostal church.
Thankfully, God drew me out of that movement and I'm in a sound church now. I think many people feel inadequate due to the teachings of Pentecostal churches.
I'm glad you got out of it!
I'm glad I got out of it!
Be thankful, not mad, and trust that God can use your experience for His glory! 🙋♀️🤗
Me too 54. Now I know why I didn’t get the message. I just wish I had been in the word not begging God to know where to go what to do
Study Scripture all the time. But one time God did speak to me. And it was like a gentle whisper in my mind. God said to me "I Love You".
I do believe that God will talk to us. He clearly spoke to me one time. I was praying day & night for him to rescue my daughter from her abusive boy friend, for him to please give her the strength to leave!! Well no matter how much I prayed she would not stay away from him but I kept praying because that's all I could do at this point. So one day I was praying and I hear in my head "YOU ARE PRAYING FOR THE WRONG PERSON "
Let me tell you I stopped praying & this was certainly NOT what I wanted to hear!! Pray for the person that was hurting my baby???
Well as much as I did not like it, I began to pray for him & I kept praying for him & it did stop 🙏
They are still together , expecting their second child & him & I can actually be in the same room
Thank you Jeshua!!
HEARING GODS WORD IS IN HIS WORD THE BIBLE AND YES HE DOES SPEAK TO US BY READING HIS WORD
Exactly, loud and clear!
Faith Cometh BY HEARING the Word of God
The problem even those false christian church to claimed that God talked to them through bible.
The mark of the true child of God is "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me."
I make my choices on one basis “ will this choice glorify Christ” !!
Based upon what standard?
Whilst this intention is good, I suggest asking God for direction - that is why Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth; an army needs a commander/head, and our Head is Christ Jesus. We need to hear His commands, that is why the Holy Spirit is here. Have you considered what it means to be in the Kingdom of God; a soldier?
Roxanne Tomlin; good approach.
And to be thoroughly versed in the scriptures gives you a head start 😁
We are the temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells within us. Guides us into all truth, teaches, fills and seals us unto redemption and speaks to us. We are the sheep and Jesus is the good Shepherd, and the sheep hear and knows his voice. Blessings.
His sheep hear his voice means to believe :)
@@Aleks-JesusismyLORD Correct after we believe we have the promise of the Holy Spirit living in us. He is the Spirit of Jesus and He speaks to our spirits as He leads us. 1 Pet 1:11. These men are not even mentioning the work of the Holy Spirit in the believers life. God is alive and communicates to his people however He chooses. He is the Living true God.
@@repentjesuslovesyou.3960 Yes, but he does not speak with his voice, because God has spoken through his word, he uses other believers and so on, but nobody hears him
@@repentjesuslovesyou.3960 With me, when I ask for understanding of his word what I don't understand, the next day or a few weeks later, a video comes from Chris rosebrough and the question I had to God about his word is answered by Chris, as an example or other videos
Here is a work of the Holy Spirit: you read and understand the Bible in its context. A true work of God indeed.
★ We Can’t wait to read your NEW Book Jim- Love you all Justin - & - Jim ‼️ ❤️
Great book! My wife and I are reading it together and are down to the last two chapters. I highly recommend it!
@@dennis26091985, can you elaborate on what you mean by “stupidity?”
@@dennis26091985 Sounds like you have brain washed by the NAR. In Jude, not even Michael the archangel rebuked Satan, he said, “The Lord rebuke you.” You have no Biblical authority to judge the saving grace of Pastor Peters. You have no biblical authority to rebuke anyone. Salvation is by grace alone. The fact you disagree with Pastor Peters biblically sound thesis does not give you the right of condemnation of others. I am reminded of Christ and John’s admonition to love one another. It is obvious this teaching touched a nerve within you leading you to anger. Pray to God to reveal to you what pushed your button. It’s okay to have healthy discussion and to learn from each other. It’s not okay to lash out and to imply someone is a heretic because you didn’t like what you heard. I encourage you to review the fruits of the Spirit and join in with healthy conversation in love. Anger and hate does not move anyone’s opinions except to question your motives.
@@dennis26091985 May God rebuke you for your anger and hatred toward others. May God rebuke you for not approaching a Chiistian brother according to Biblical principles. May God rebuke you for not loving your Christian brothers. May God rebuke you for your false teachings. How does that feel? Does that make you want to repent or lash out in anger? Are you humbled or are you angry? My point is you have no authority to rebuke someone publicly. I think you are more of a heretic than your claims against Pastor Peters. If you think he needs to be rebuked publicity you will have to rebuke John MacArthur, Todd Friel, RC Sproul, and millions of other faithful Christians. You can disagree with others without rebuking them. You obviously disagree with the cessation theology. No need to be rebuking people.
Hi Thanks we love you Justin with love From Zimbabwe
Omg I’ve always struggled with this. Discouragement sets in, I have question my salvation, but God keeps me. I have such a hunger for christ So I continue to seek his face. Excited to purchase this book. Thank you gentlemen.
Praise the Lord, Luisa! Blessings to you :)
That's excellent, Luisa, but please don't use "om-". It is blasphemy.
And I don't say that to condemn you but to encourage you. Keep growing in Christ.
Before I found your series on TH-cam, I used to also question if something was wrong with me. Thanks for clarity, I feel much better. Thank you Justin and Jim!
I used to think that to just like you many others here who have commented. Praise the Lord for delivering me out of that!!!
Be in prayer and in His Word.🙏
Praise the Lord ! Finally one person that goes against the grain of hyper charismatic insanity thank God I'm not alone
I hear yah! 👍
I dont know the lie in the title. *BUT GOD DOES WHISPER* I have been lukewarm all my life!! I am 43 now and been thinking i was saved but knew i was always in fleshly sin. *I heard God whisper to me* this year when i finally had enough sin. I have a testimony!! I been married 17 years and was separated with my wife and living with another woman. I made excuses and stayed with her 4 years!!!! You are a liar! God does whisper! I got covid!!! I felt in my heart shame because of while i had this i was living with my girlfriend who I had plans to marry soon. I got convicted on my past knowledge of adultery and stopped making excuses that I was not in it. And repented and left that woman amd went back with my wife!! I did not want to be with my wife and really wanted that other woman. But i sacrificed my flesh for GOD!!! I TOOK THAT LEAP OF FAITH AND LEFT HER AND MOVED BACK WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS! It was hard! I was debating that next month. One morning i woke up and sat on edge of bed. I just sat there. I dont know why. *BUT GOD WHISPERED TO ME* . GOD SPOKE TO ME IN A WHISPER. CLEAR AS DAY. LOUD ALL AROUND ME VERY LOUD. BUT VERY SOFT!! I was trying to be sin free in my life a d was determined to be sin free, and God knew this! I knew if i got the Holy Spirit inside me that i would be able to SIN NO MORE. *YOU ARE A LIAR* AND GOD DOES WHISPER.... YOU LIE JUSTIN. I LIVED WATCHING YOU. BUT YOU AFE A LIAR. *GOD WHISPERED........."DON'T GIVE UP*....* NOT A THOUGHT IN MY HEAD! This was not a thought as those that say he spoke to me. He actually was out loud and lile surround sound... Dont believe this lie. That whisper to me gave me what i needed and it SHOOK ME HARD. I HIT MY WIFE ON THE THIGH WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING AND YELLED *"DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT?"* TO MY WIFE. I was startled!! To this day I Think OF THAT MOMENT AND IT GIVES ME STRENGTH!! YOU LIE. *YOU LIE* He does speak!! Many say he speaks to them and i think they think they hear him. Like long conversations. I did not ever hear it in that way, *"BUT HE WHISPERED TO ME THAT MORNING TO NOT GIVE UP"* . I WAS THINKING I WANTED TO GO BACK TO MY EX THAT PREVIOUS DAY. He spoke and I had my confirmation. Guess what? You guess what happened the next day. You will never guess. That next day was SUNDAY. I WENT TO CHURCH AND HAD A PASTOR I PRAYED FOR AND ASKED GOD IF HE WAS REALLY TRUE FROM HIM. AMD THAT MORNING HE WAS Prophesizing AND THE PASTOR WALKED UP TO ME AND MY FAMILY. HE SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THIS. . HE SAID THIS 👉. *"GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU"* DO YOU HEAR THAT? I also had confirmation the next day about my choices and the path i was on. I heard his soft whisper as loud as it can be around me. When he whispered i looked up amd to the left and right. It was all around me. Not in my head as most claim. It was not like thinking you heard him!! *IT WAS HIS VOICE*
YOU ARE BOTH LIARS!
GOD SPEAKS AND IF YOU DONT HEAR HIM YOU ARE IN SIN AND NOT CHOSE TO STOP! YOU REPENT ALWAYS BECAUSE YOUR ALWAYS SINNING AND NOT CHOSE TO TURN FOR GOOD. TURN AND REPENT! AND SIN NO MORE! HOLY SPIRIT IS WILLING.. *YOUR FLESH IS WEAK*
in a whisper God said..... *"Don't give up"*
And now 3 months later my family and I are stronger then ever in the word. Kids all pray daily 3 or more times a day!! Cut off the world tv. Study daily! We are in the world and not of it now!! We chose him above all! *ABOVE ALL* .
THATS HOW HEARING GODS WHISPER CHANGES YOU!
HE WILL SPEAK! WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST! FOR HIS GLORY!
YOU ARE LIARS!
These men lie
They are jealous in the heart ... They lie because they have not heard God speak. So they lie
I am done following you JUSTIN. I WILL EXPOSE YOU HARD
This would be a paradigm shift for my theology. I ordered the book and am excited to see where it leads.
Same. I want to go look for it in book stores or order it online.
@@melissarajacobs6182 you will not be disappointed! It is a very good read.
Thank you Justin and Jim!
It’s always good to hear the word.
This one makes me think, thank you!
When I haphazardly was about to make my marriage vows, I heard a voice in my head tell me how serious this was. I rememeber asking for help to do my best. I considered myself an atheist at the time, but The Lord was faithful ,and helped me to grow in my marriage for 35 years now. I also heard the voice when my strongholds were broken, and my son, at the time also an atheist- pointed me to Jesus. Surprisingly the first thing I laid my eyes on, was a New Testament the kids got at school. I felt a hand on my right shoulder, and a mild voice said "now, will you listen".
So I started to read Matthew, Mark and most of Luke. I wanted that, but I only saw a teacher, and that wasn't enough. So I put the book away, and pondered(prayed about it?). Next time I open The NT, it opens on John 1. Case shut. I became a believer.
AMEN,AMEN,AMEN and JESUS IS ABOVE ALL and HE LOVES SO MUCH MORE OURSELFS AMEN❤️❤️❤️😊🙏🙏🙏😊
I’ve heard him not audibly but known Hewas there he came when I was diligently searching His Word for hours and repenting and opening myself to Hom through scripture. I bawled and had my head on the ground in awe and fear and overwhelming power and love
@@rileyanderson7379 My son cited scripture to me, it made all the difference. Ha had actually read the whole thing - to make him sleep, he said. It's sharp as a two-egged sword.
I like your testimony, how are we to know how God does or doesn't speak (surely it is up to him? Who is anyone to say he doesn't whisper from time to time?)
@@johnwatts219 It's a wonderful time to be alive. The church is becoming international! Scripture is available for procelyting to the whole internet. We just need to use his words! The holy spirit does the rest. The outporing don't go through man, but we can help to pull down strongholds.
Thank you gentlemen for this video. Very helpful and much needed in this world today.
I am very appreciative of such sound teachings. Thank you both so much.
You are so welcome, Bobbie. Blessings to you.
Thank you both and thank God so much for this message.
The Lord speaks to people in various ways, some hear him audibly and with all of us God speaks to us simply in His word when we read it. Some of us personally hear and some don't, for those of us that personally have not heard the lord this message brings encouragement and comfort. Let it not get us down, He loves us all and doesn't have favourites, He just simply reaches us in many different ways🙏
Leah: You've got to put the whole bible into perspective as to who God spoke to and why. In the old testament God used his prophets as well as a chosen few in order to get the scripture written. Everything that God said became scripture. It's the same thing in the new testament. God spoke to us through Jesus as well as events that took place before his birth. Then Jesus left this world but scripture wasn't finished yet. Then came the apostles to finish everything concerning the scriptures. The holy spirit was given to testify of Jesus through the apostles. Rev 19:10 The spirit, or purpose of prophecy IS the testimony of Jesus. All prophecy is scripture and in the new testament, it was not about predicting the future. Prophecy means in the greek To speak in front of, meaning people. Women never prophesied in the old testament. What they called "prophetess" were women married to men who prophesied and the women merely spoke what their husbands already said. That's why quoting Joel in Acts 2 means... Your daughters will prophecy.. means they will only says what the scriptures said. All they had was the old testament when Pentecost took place. The Apostles were responsible for continuing with the scriptures and once God had finished giving his word by means of the apostles, then God stopped talking. He has limited himself to the totality of the bible. Under no circumstances or "experiences" does God speak aloud to anyone anymore. That is simply heresy. When someone claims it has happened to them, someone needs to challenge the source because it's NOT God. The holy spirit is only going to help those who really want everything that God said, to be revealed to them through scripture. If someone if France said that God spoke to them: what if it was something concerning salvation that isn't in the bible??? Don't you think everyone would need to know it? So how do we prove it? We CAN"T. Therefore God HAS to have an ending to the bible for all of us to refer back to and look it up to see what's right. Scripture must match with scripture. Claiming that God speaks audibly is a gross error against all the men that died to bring you that book. People can make all kinds of accusations of what they think the bible says, if they hold to the idea that God still speaks. There is nothing Finite and trustworthy about the bible unless God is done talking. There are many proofs that the bible is finished by Mark, and Paul and John; but the proof of that is to show us not to believe in false statements that do not match up with scripture. The bottom line is that the people who claim God speaks to them, are lying for their own purposes and do not follow what scripture says about itself. From those; turn away if they do not listen. They cause others to stumble and create an atmosphere of uncertainty.
Leahjo: you are right about the various ways. See a scripture here: Hebrews 1:1-3
God’s Final Word: His Son
1 IN THE PAST God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 BUT IN THESE LAST DAYS he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven
Very interesting, I have never heard God's voice however I know he has always guided me. Looking forward to reading this. Just ordered on Amazon Thank you
Thank you both, for your dedicated ministries! Can't wait to read the book! Blessings to all my brothers and sisters in faith! 🙏🙏🙏

Wow!! "I am free to do whatever I want as long as it's in the perimeter of the Bible and with God's blessing". I love that!! In my last 'church ' I was Not free to do whatever I wanted UNLESS I had the 'pastor's blessing. He ran that place like a business and we were his property like he owned us. That place nearly destroyed me.
how good it is to see the joy in your eyes justin, when talkning to jim :)
Thank you brothers! That teaching alone has always held me back from making a decision and has given me trouble to say the least. This helped so much God bless you ❤️
Wow, Justin this video was spot on ! I have always felt I was doing something wrong! A weight has been lifted from my heart. Thank you, I will definitely look into buying this book. This video could not have come at a better time. Thank you Justin. God Bless You!
What a breath of fresh air!
I’m going to Amazon to order this book.
If God had not spoken to my mom to call her to pray for me, I would not be here today. The Lord in a dream told my mother of a car crash I was going to be in that would take my life. In the dream she held hands with my sister to pray for my safety. When she woke up she did just that, held hands with my sister and prayed for the Lord's protection. The next week I was in a major car crash flipping my vehicle, my head inches away from going into a sharp twisted metal bracket. The wreck happened the exact way my mom had seen it. Even to the point that my sister had to go to my mom's to tell her the news of it, except this time I was alive.
Be wary of anyone who tells you that God deals with us not as individuals. David's relationship with God was different to Abraham's which was different to Paul's. It is all about personal connection to our heavenly Father. Just make sure our bibles are our foundation and everything we hear lines up with scripture.
Amen God speaks He is not dead. I hate that Peters has so much bitterness in his heart he teaches a false Gospel. God spoke to someone to save me as I lay dying in my house they came and rescued me. Many more instances. Just because some manipulate and say God said when God didn’t for them to manipulate someone doesn’t mean that God doesn’t actually ever speak. Gods not dead He is personal and is involved in His children’s life. He speaks through dreams, intuitively in us, through the Word, through others to us, many many ways.
@@joshsimpson8143 totally agreed. This guy is just pushing his calvinism doctrine emphasizing the sovereignty of the scriptures but forgetting to add that they believe in a divine predestination,. A complete contradiction. Definitely God is not dead and speaks to us.
@@joshsimpson8143 Great big amen brother, and I am glad I am not the only one that thinks Peters is bitter.
@@cbdswpeople who disagree often do... 😅
Yes I wondered, 'is there something wrong with me', often!! So thankful that yall are telling people the truth.. God bless..
There is always two voices speaking to you, when your making decisions. When you are making a decision, and it does not line up to scripture or the will of God, it is not God speaking to you. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ the voice inside you will overcome the voice of the Devil. This takes time in prayer and reading the scriptures to drowned out the Devil. The voice I hear right know in writing this comment is the voice of God and it is by His will that I make the comment. P.S.
Jim, did the voice of God tell you to write this book? Or was it the voice of the Devil? If God is not speaking, you are not going to hear Him! If God is speaking, your are not going to miss Him!
This isn’t the truth. This is what happens when one person wants to make their own experience a universal theology and doctrine.
I can attest to the many times God spoke to me via His Word or thru other means. Hearing God's voice should not be considered the sole possession of the WoF and NAR camps. I cannot understand why cessationists are against this aspect of our Christian experience
Because many cessationists cannot differentiate between traditional Classical Biblical Pentecostals vs the Word of Faith and NAR camp.
No because we read the Bible. There are no modern Prophets or Apostles - can God still heal? Of course! Can God reopen the canon and anoint a new prophet? Not so fast - our God does not lie or deceive.
Thank you, Jim, that was a great video with Justin and I'm looking forward to the next 2 videos!
Can’t wait to read! Thank you for showing this brother Justin
You lost me on this one! I have been listening to the Lord for some 30 years! Thankfully and have avoided some Perilous situations in hind sight! Blessings to you! You are entitled to your opinion.
Hi Nikki - please watch the entirety of this video and the next two as well. Please get Jim's book. Everything we believe must be rooted in scripture. His book will be of great help to you.

Thank you for your clarity on this subject.
It's always wonderful to see your face and hear your thoughts, JP.
Although I believe this hearing God is taken to extremes. I know God spoke to me in my spirit almost as clear as auditable about 10 years ago when my, now ex- husband blind sided me with divorce papers, an affair and ripped my heart out. To this day, my heart still feels the pain. Although the love and tenderness of the Lord during that time, I wouldn't change to have it not happen. He spoke, " He is rejecting Me", and five different times, my ex cursed and said he didn't want God, "f", Jesus, church is for women and children ect..those comments were highlighted to me. I know it was the Lord. He is so near the brokenhearted. I love Him more now❤
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. (Hebrews 1:1-2, ESV)
Scripture is clear.
We cannot base our faith on experience.
I believe in God with all my heart and I do believe God speaks to our hearts sometimes ... it’s happened to me but it wasn’t like audible actual words like someone talking to me but no one was there ...no ... it was when I had been in constant prayer because of a tragedy ... I wasn’t asking to hear him speak to me ... I was praying and praying for someone to make it and was praying for several days and I really wasn’t doing nothing else but praying and getting on my knees in the ICU room and at home and wherever I was but after several days I was praying and it’s like these words came to me that said ... Things are about to change ... and I was praying and crying and worrying ... had been for days and the person I was praying and praying for came out of a coma rite after those words came to me ... it’s been about 18 years ago but i can’t describe how they came to me because the words were so clear in my mind it was like I could almost hear them and I had even stopped for a minute and though things are about to change ... ? I mean it was so clear and right after I heard it he woke up from a coma in ICU ... I’ll never forget it ... but I have had other times through the years ... few times that I could feel like God was speaking to my heart ... that’s what I say because I don’t actually hear a voice talking to me ....but I will have words come to me and I just felt like it may be God and it’s only happened a very very few times but it really gets my attention and the one I had more recently... this year used a word that I don’t really use ... just didn’t sound like something I would say ... but when I had those words come into my mind they were so clear to me I could almost hear them ... things are about to change ...and I love listening to Justin Peters ... he really makes good points and studies the scriptures... he has taught me things I never knew about the Bible ❤️ God bless everyone and the Bible is the Word of God and when you read it He does speak to you from the pages ❤️
I have had a few similar experiences! I also believe we need to check everything by scripture! God doesn’t ALWAYS speak in these ways, but He does at times and He can. When He has spoken to me in those ways, it always gets confirmed to me by His word.
But let me be clear, it hasn’t happened to me hundreds of times in my life, just a few.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Quite timely! Thank you very much!
Also if my son was deciding on a college I would not make the decision for him,I’d ask what he truly wanted.

But never outside or apart from his word.

That happened to me growing up, people kept telling me "you have a mighty calling with music." Well what was that mighty calling. I spent 32 years of my life pursuing music, and 18 years trying to go into fulltime ministry to no avail. Now I'm at the point where I'm like okay I'm 37 years old, no money in my checking account, no car, depressed, and not living my best life. After my first year of Bible school, my dad offered to get me a car, an apartment, and pay for my education upto a bachelor degree. But I didn't take him up on his offer because I "felt called" to go back to CFNI in Dallas, TX. Well I wound up moving back home after bible school, and going back to school, but my dad wasn't going to pay for any of the stuff he offered me just one year earlier. So I had to get government grants, then I studied something that the jobs were being off shored after I graduated. And I couldn't find work in that feild. Then churches took notice in how I played piano so then I took jobs earning $500.00 a month from evangelical churches for over a decade. Moved back to Dallas, TX 3 years ago. Got a church to pay me $500.00 a month and after 6 months they decided to go another direction. So yeah that is the story of my life. I don't want to be in ministry anymore. Truth is I don't know what I want to do. Found these TH-cam videos last month. The Evangelical church has really messed me up.
Forget about the Evangelical church for now. Get on your face before the Lord, seek him diligently, repent, and study his word diligently. Work a regular job for now if you have to. The Lord will move in your life eventually. Remember those who endure TIL THE END shall be saved (Matthew 24:13). Tribulation worketh patience....(Romans 5:3).
in the Bible I read:...that you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. Deut. 30:20 , “Oh, that My people would listen to Me..Psalm 81:13, “Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart” Heb.3:7,8. 36:33 Listening to God’s voice is obeying His promptings done by His Holy Spirit to our spirit.
done by His Spirit to our spirit awareness.
Yes listen to his voice, and his voice is IN his word. Remember the Bible calls Jesus the "WORD". John 1;1, and Revelation 19:13. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son," (Hebrews 1:1-2). How do we know what his Son is saying? Through his word! When the scriptures you quoted were written down, we did not have the Bible yet. Now we have the Bible which gives us everything God is saying to us.
You both seem like such knowledgeable, true men of God 🙏✌️
Thank you! Finally! I have been waiting for you to talk about this.
I just pray to my Father that he uses the Holy Spirit to guide me in making the right decisions in life because I know that I can't make them on my own. I'm not a smart man on my own but God has given me wisdom through Jesus Christ. I feel so blessed and loved! Amen!

I am so thankful to God that by His providence I found good Biblical teachers who have helped me work through my questions. Justin Peters was the first man I watched that really helped me through my questions and I am forever grateful for his ministry. I have read part of Truth or Territory and so far it has been an excellent read. I am excited about this new book. Thank you both!!!
This is awesome!!! May God continue to raise people like you to reveal God’s will! I have a passion for good and sound doctrine that now I cant hinder it!

Thank you so much, Nancy - blessings to you :)
I’ve had similar experiences in other areas in my faith thinking I’m probably not a real Christian only to realize it’s the exact opposite and that’s why some of those things WERE NOT happening to me
Because I am a real Christian
If that makes sense
It’s not about trying to hear a voice, but a new regenerated changed heart
Think about that for a bit
You need repent all your sins everyday even sins you don't remembered, then God will give you peace in your heart that only you can tell. God bless you.
Glad to see you again, Justin.
This is fabulous!
Great video - thank you.
I’m now disliked the most on this subject among my friends and FAMILY . I have been unfriended and unfollowed by close family and friends. But I know like you do that it is scripture alone, nothing outside of scripture. Thank you guys 👍

@@shadowmist1246 if you didn't have the Holy Spirit you wouldn't WANT to read the Bible.
@@shadowmist1246 The Bible can’t be truly understood if you don’t have the Holy Spirit residing in you.
God speaks back to me on the scriptures! That's exactly where I find His answers.
This is such a blessing. I’ve had all these questions and I thought maybe I’m not saved or disobedient or God is mad with me so that’s why he not speaking to me.
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.””
Isaiah 30:21 NIV
What about being led by the Holy Spirit according to God’s Word? Praying for wisdom (James 1) for important, life-altering decisions we make throughout our lives?
I read Isaiah 30:21 in KJV and from the preceding verse it sounds to me the voice that is heard are the teachers behind you! In other words, we should discern whether the teachers who say “this is the way, walk in it” are actually agreeing with the clear teaching of Gods word, and that is the very same thing this dear pastor is trying to teach here. We indeed should study the word, pray for Gods guidance, endeavoring to keep our walk right before God. And very often because of responsibilities I have as a wife, mother, career, etc, I simply find it necessary to “ do the next thing”! And seems like the clear teaching is that God’s blessings are with us as we “ do those next things”! God bless!
It seems to me from reading the Book of Acts that the Holy Spirit definitely does prompt people at times, but also as they say in the video in his letters Paul doesn't seem to be acting most of the time in a constant state of listening for God but says he wants to go to a certain place, and maybe God will make it possible for him to do so, whereas the preachers they are warning against are claiming to be constantly hearing from God about all kinds of things and telling them what to do all the time, which gives them a lot of power to mislead people. I think if you are praying and reading the word of God, and spending a lot of time in his presence, it's much harder to make wrong decisions - all my worst choices were made when I was going with what I wanted and not stopping to think if it was right. When there's no clear right or wrong decision it's very difficult though. I think we have to just do our best to go the right way and trust he is with us no matter what.
We don't hear a literal voice like that anymore. 2 Tim 3:16-17 makes it clear that scripture is all we need. especially look at the three absolutes in v17.
The Holy Spirit guides us and leads us into all truth and reminds us of what Jesus said. He will do that through the word. He will prompt us. It will not be an audible voice where we could write His words down.
And I don't think it was literal when Isaiah wrote it either meaning a literal voice that you will hear words but a a prompting that encourages us to trust God's word.
And Cathy makes an excellent point as well. The meaning of the Hebrew is debated. The word for "teacher" is plural but some think it is the plural of Majesty referring to God. But even if it is referring to the Holy Spirit, I still think my point stands that it is not a literal voice.
There have been a few times in my life when I've heard a voice warning me to watch my step and slow down while driving. I was saved from falling and being in a car accident by these warnings. If that wasn't God, who was it?
@Stacy Singh We can only say God doesn't talk to us today because he doesn't talk to me? Atheists agree, anyone who believes God speaks to them or hears voices is crazy.
Carol, it was the Holy Spirit, don't doubt it!!! The four times He whispers to my heart or head, l listened. No one can take that away from me or you. The truth will set you free!!! If that still small voice warns you, and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, LISTEN! God bless you!
On the other hand, the unholy spirit can whisper too, l have overcome a few addictions, one of them was alcohol. After l quit drinking, l would hear in a small voice, "one little drink won't hurt you!" That was a lie!" And l know that didn't come from God through the Holy Spirit.
We are in a battle!
That's why God says, "Try the spirits!!!
It was possibly an angel.
I’m from Walla walla WA! Can’t believe how blind I was. So thankful for your teachings and truth. ❤️

From personal experience, sometimes God does speak audibly, not all times though,there's a lot of ways God does speak and mainly through His word so don't rule that out completely.

Gods not dead He is personal and is involved in His children’s life. He speaks through dreams, intuitively in us, through the Word, through others to us, many many ways
What does the scripture mean when it says those who are led by the spirit of God the same are the sons of God. What about Isaiah who said the still small voice. What about Jesus who was led of the spirit or he said I must needs go to somerea or Paul being led of the spirit to go to rome. The word also says that he will send you another comforter who will lead you and guide you into all truth. if you're not led by the spirit of God there may be a problem.
I ages with your comments-God doesn't leave us orphans, and I have asked God for direction and direct guidance many times, and received it. The idea that God no longer speaks to us is wrong and must be grieving to Him! Isn't it better to keep asking than to give up. Also, just because you aren't hearing God, that DOESNT mean that God isn't speaking -it means your spiritual ears need to be opened/tuned in! The Bible says that God is speaking one way than another. He speaks in many ways, not just through the written word. Jesus is the living word, and God does speak!
@@suzannegriffiths4795 "it means your spiritual ears need to be opened/tuned in"...

@The Pilgrim - Hi. I just want to share a little bit of my testimony. Do you want to know how I came to faith in Jesus Christ my Lord and my Savior? He SPOKE to me audibly and said that I needed to be saved and that my works didn't save me. Audibly. Yes. Audibly. I didn't know anything about Jesus Christ or being saved by faith yet He gave me truth audibly. He then sent me someone to share the gospel of Jesus Christ to me since I kept praying for Him to save me as he audibly told me I had to be. I read the Bible and I see this very clearly....The doctrines that the Lord gave to the church regarding salvation, faith, gifts, the Holy Spirit, has not and will not change. He doesn't change. And even though I am not a charismatic, I will noy deny my healing (body part that I was missing) nor my coming to faith as supernatural as it was and I will not deny what it is written that He can still heal, speak and direct us - always going back to scripture and testing all things. Be blessed.
@The Pilgrim it sounds like you are worshipping the written word, not a living God. In that written word, Jesus says; "But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you." Matthew 10:19&20. Here we are 'given what to say' not enslaved! Audibility isn't the point. God does speak, and the Spirit of God was sent by Yeshua to guide us and teach us. The written word does NOT replace the Holy Spirit of God! Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit! The Father will not forgive you for that!
This video was so refreshing to hear 🙏🏼
I dont know the lie in the title. *BUT GOD DOES WHISPER* I have been lukewarm all my life!! I am 43 now and been thinking i was saved but knew i was always in fleshly sin. *I heard God whisper to me* this year when i finally had enough sin. I have a testimony!! I been married 17 years and was separated with my wife and living with another woman. I made excuses and stayed with her 4 years!!!! You are a liar! God does whisper! I got covid!!! I felt in my heart shame because of while i had this i was living with my girlfriend who I had plans to marry soon. I got convicted on my past knowledge of adultery and stopped making excuses that I was not in it. And repented and left that woman amd went back with my wife!! I did not want to be with my wife and really wanted that other woman. But i sacrificed my flesh for GOD!!! I TOOK THAT LEAP OF FAITH AND LEFT HER AND MOVED BACK WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS! It was hard! I was debating that next month. One morning i woke up and sat on edge of bed. I just sat there. I dont know why. *BUT GOD WHISPERED TO ME* . GOD SPOKE TO ME IN A WHISPER. CLEAR AS DAY. LOUD ALL AROUND ME VERY LOUD. BUT VERY SOFT!! I was trying to be sin free in my life a d was determined to be sin free, and God knew this! I knew if i got the Holy Spirit inside me that i would be able to SIN NO MORE. *YOU ARE A LIAR* AND GOD DOES WHISPER.... YOU LIE JUSTIN. I LIVED WATCHING YOU. BUT YOU AFE A LIAR. *GOD WHISPERED........."DON'T GIVE UP*....* NOT A THOUGHT IN MY HEAD! This was not a thought as those that say he spoke to me. He actually was out loud and lile surround sound... Dont believe this lie. That whisper to me gave me what i needed and it SHOOK ME HARD. I HIT MY WIFE ON THE THIGH WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING AND YELLED *"DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT?"* TO MY WIFE. I was startled!! To this day I Think OF THAT MOMENT AND IT GIVES ME STRENGTH!! YOU LIE. *YOU LIE* He does speak!! Many say he speaks to them and i think they think they hear him. Like long conversations. I did not ever hear it in that way, *"BUT HE WHISPERED TO ME THAT MORNING TO NOT GIVE UP"* . I WAS THINKING I WANTED TO GO BACK TO MY EX THAT PREVIOUS DAY. He spoke and I had my confirmation. Guess what? You guess what happened the next day. You will never guess. That next day was SUNDAY. I WENT TO CHURCH AND HAD A PASTOR I PRAYED FOR AND ASKED GOD IF HE WAS REALLY TRUE FROM HIM. AMD THAT MORNING HE WAS Prophesizing AND THE PASTOR WALKED UP TO ME AND MY FAMILY. HE SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THIS. . HE SAID THIS 👉. *"GOD IS PLEASED WITH YOU"* DO YOU HEAR THAT? I also had confirmation the next day about my choices and the path i was on. I heard his soft whisper as loud as it can be around me. When he whispered i looked up amd to the left and right. It was all around me. Not in my head as most claim. It was not like thinking you heard him!! *IT WAS HIS VOICE*
YOU ARE BOTH LIARS!
GOD SPEAKS AND IF YOU DONT HEAR HIM YOU ARE IN SIN AND NOT CHOSE TO STOP! YOU REPENT ALWAYS BECAUSE YOUR ALWAYS SINNING AND NOT CHOSE TO TURN FOR GOOD. TURN AND REPENT! AND SIN NO MORE! HOLY SPIRIT IS WILLING.. *YOUR FLESH IS WEAK*
in a whisper God said..... *"Don't give up"*
And now 3 months later my family and I are stronger then ever in the word. Kids all pray daily 3 or more times a day!! Cut off the world tv. Study daily! We are in the world and not of it now!! We chose him above all! *ABOVE ALL* .
THATS HOW HEARING GODS WHISPER CHANGES YOU!
HE WILL SPEAK! WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST! FOR HIS GLORY!
YOU ARE LIARS!
Thank you!
I watch many of Justin Peter's videos , teachings, etc. And I find it to be very interesting and a blessing.{ Some Christians don't believe that God doesn't heal, speak to us audibly, do miracles , speak in tongues, among some other things anymore because of many different reasons. I believe that God is the same yesterday today, tommorow and forevermore! He never changes .His Holy word is permanent and sealed. I believe the Holy Bible as the whole Truth of God's word. I believe His will be done on earth as it is In Heaven. I believe that God the Father God the Son and God the Holy spirit are One. I believe In confession of my sins to Jesus Christ the Son of the most high God to forgive me through His Mercy, Love and Grace and washed my Sins with His Precious Blood in Jesus Name. I Believe that Jesus is Lord, my King, my Savior, my Lord, my Master, my Rock of Salvation, my God, and my future Groom. Yes I do believe!!!
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.
- Matthew 10, 27 NIV
Don't get me wrong guys. I love Justin Peters and he has been a great help for me. But I think sometimes we can get too critical. In my life God most defenetly spoke to me through his word most of the time. But very rarely God also spoke to me through this so called "whispering voice" and I can assure you that it was God speaking. Yes, I agree that most of the time when people say stuff like "God told me to..." or "I feel like God is..." it was not God talking. But I do not believe that it is never the case. But even though I disagree with Justin on this one I still love him and 99% of the time I fully agree with what he is saying. God bless you
Scripture verse pulled out of context to make a point that aligns with your belief.
If you read the whole context this line, and those before it, follows verse 5, “these twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them...”
He was telling these things specifically to His disciples whom He personally taught.
If you read the commentary for that verse it is agreed upon that this whole paragraph surrounding this verse is Jesus’ warnings to His 12 that they will be persecuted for preaching His words (the words that were told to them in the dark and whispered in their ear.)
We are not to put ourselves in the verse and think that this is for all people of all time and that God will whisper words to us in the dark.
@@Tt6035gta I wasn’t directing my comment to you
Is what Jesus told to the 12 only for the 12, if so we must discount most of what Jesus taught
Or maybe the beatitudes ceased with the apostolic age
shared this today with the person whom we loved and she literally said if your intimate with the Lord you will hear his voice
What an enormous benefit these ministries are; this is a much needed message for the church today. Thank you for your labors gentlemen, Glory be to our LORD.
I'm so grateful, just downloaded the book.
Right now, because Christians are aware we are in the endtimes, there are so many false prophets on TH-cam saying they got a word, an urgent word to share. Not to mention dreams.
All these people have been led astray.
Sadly, my wife adheres to WOF theology, says she hears Gods voice, He finds her parking spots at the mall and she "sees things" in the Spirit that us regular Bible believers just can't see....we lack the faith. Being biblically sound alone, apart from the supernatural is boring to her and so many others caught up in the lie.
My uncle is the same. He literally told me he seeks the supernatural side of church. I will pray for your wife.
I never ordered a book so fast. Thank you! Now I have to watch this video.
As I’m watching this I’m like okay no, find this book and get it.
Thank you.
I prayed over a lost item and the Lord spoke into my mind where the item was. So what was that?? Seems to me you are taking away that “personal” relationship. What’s important to me is important to God and he helps me. He leads me all the time.
Faith Wasson...agree..I do n have practiced this; when I lose something I ask God's Holy Spirit who resides within me to help me find it..I tell you, it works all the time! If one desires to Walk with God daily..the H. S. guides us! I think pastor Peters is almost to the extreme opposite end of the charismatic word of faith movement! My personal belief is that the H. S. does guide us by our hearts as well as by His Word! Nonetheless, I love and am blessed listening to pastor Peters!
@@darlenewells3309 I’m with you. I think God does speak to us sometimes through the Holy Spirit, but other times he just allows us to make the decisions on our own like Justin and Jim said. It doesn’t always have to be either end of the spectrum. I find that the answer often lies somewhere in the middle.

So sad for you all. I’ve received miraculous healing by Christians praying “the prayer of faith.” Apparently you’ve never experienced that. Be careful of criticizing the work of the Holy Spirit.
Cessationists believe that God still heals today. But they are not speaking of healing in this video.
Be careful of thinking every voice you hear and every thought you have is the Holy Spirit speaking. HE Himself said to TEST. How do we test? By God's Word, the Bible.
This is great. Tnx
Great video guys really appreciate it thank you.
Name one promise in Scripture that says God will reveal your personal future to you.
The soul that sinneth shall surely die. LOL!
I have a sincere question. Do any of the cessationists ever feel the presence of God? If so when? During prayer? During worship? Studying the Word?
Most when I am reading God's word as it is alive. Also, Holy Spirit is how I have fellowship with Jesus and the Father. John 17
For me I feel closer to God now when I am just in my word or listening to sermons by some of my favorite reformed teachers, than I ever did when I was attending a church that was based on signs and operating in the gift of prophesy. Reading his word and listening to reformed teachings on the Word, really made my faith and my relationship with God stronger. I think the reason being is that I wasn't basing my faith on an "experience" or encounter in a church. My faith was based on the Word and Truth. My words don't do it justice, but yes, feel God when I am obedient to his Word, just simple obedience. My love for God is what drives me to obedience.
Jane and Lydia,
Thank you for your responses. :-)
I am a cessationist and I felt the Holy Spirit in a church as an unbeliever.
Be very careful about trusting feelings. They are deceptive and untrustworthy. We know Him through Jesus Christ - by grace through faith. Not feelings.
I know the presence of God because scripture tells me how to know the presence of God and I trust it. If I feel it, great, but even when I feel it, I'm not sure those feelings are trustworthy.
I John 1 would be a good place to look, for a start.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for this. As a New Christian I have struggled with the fact that I didn't hear from GOD. By reading and studying the Bible and understanding that it reveals to me who GOD, my reading and studying of the Bible has become richer and more rewarding.
I also think that there a a bit of narcissism and pride in the sense of: well, If God spoke to Moses and Elijah, He needs to speak to me too, right?! Most people who believe this stuff, they rarely open their bibles and that is a sure way to get lost...Great topic & great video!
Clearly some still worship mute idols.
As for me I serve a living God who is not silenced by the cessationist doctrines of man.
See 1 Cor 12 - 14.
Maybe you should read past Corinthians, maybe to Hebrews, 2 Peter and Revelations
@@me4019 I've read them many times - in a REAL Bible and not through a MacArthur study bible, and by reading what is ACTUALLY said, without the re-interpretations and explanations given cessationist prophets (promoting their extra-biblical teachings).
@@onesimustim8424 Ah. So God's word in scripture is not enough for you. You, sir, are an idolater.
Here is what God has said.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Scripture is sufficient. If you are hearing a god speak to you, it is not God. He speaks through scripture to make the man of God COMPLETE, thoroughly equipped for EVERY good work.
Nice strawman though, trying to pretend the cessationist God is mute when we have His sure word of prophecy that speaks forever. What god are you listening to?
@@GrahameGould I actually believe God's word - ALL of it. Including the parts that tell us to desire prophecy, and to not despise prophecy. You clearly have a wrong understanding of prophecy - equating it with scripture standard revelation. However, if you take the time you will see countless references to prophets throughout scripture from whom not a single word was recorded in scripture.
When Paul wrote to Timothy there was no NT canon of scripture and he was referring to the OT scriptures.
So according to your reasoning, the NT canon is void. And other parts of scripture were even written after he wrote that statement. They were not even in existence when Paul wrote about the value of scripture that you use to present your argument so are they nullified too?
And if you notice, the reference to being complete was NOT referring to scripture, but the the believer's maturity (the meaning of the word 'complete' in that context).
And thank you for calling me a vile human being in another comment. By that you not only impart a blessing on me (Matt 5:11) you also show the fruit by which you are known (Luke 6:43-44) . Others can judge by the fruit to determine who is or isn't a man of God
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."
As for your suggestion that the mute reference was a "straw man" - take that up with Paul. There's no coincidence that her used that reference just before he wrote about the validity and use of various prophetic gifts.
Thank you for this!!! Blackaby's book always concerned me- and teens eat it up. So grateful to have an alternative!
God has spoken to me through sermons and through scripture the words have jumped of the page at me.
