Hearing God’s Voice 4

Might life work better if we could hear from God? Jesus was confident you would be able to distinguish the voice of God from others. Humans are uniquely designed to hear from God. The Spirit-Soul-Body metaphor is one way to understand how we function spiritually and physically in this world. While not a perfect metaphor, I find it helpful.  When someone invites Jesus to live in them, what happens to the spirit, soul and body?  In Christ, we are a new creation.  (2 Cor. 5:17) Why don't all bad habits instantly disappear?  What is the difference between a spiritual person and a soulish person? Can your spirit become tarnished or dirty? What does it mean if God lives in you? 

How does the Holy Spirit come into a believer in Jesus? Should we ask for Holy Spirit?

Acts 2:38 ...Repent and be baptized...and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:13 ...How much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

Acts 5:32 ...The Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.

How can we change our habits? On what do you meditate? Rumination on negativity affects how you think and feel. 

What is life supposed to be like when living as God intended? 

Where does fear come from? Satan is full of fear and tries to pass it on to you.
