Hearing God’s voice can change the trajectory of your life, but discerning whether it's God's voice, your own, or something else takes effort. In Discerning the Voice of God by New York Times best-selling author, speaker, and cofounder of Going Beyond Ministries, you'll learn:
- practical advice for knowing and understanding God's voice through his word
- why the Holy Spirit is the primary way that you hear from God
- why prayer is imperative for discerning the voice of God
- how to recognize the Holy Spirit's character, language, and tone of voice
- how to tune in to the whisper of the Holy Spirit
- the three ways God guides us
- two things we must do to hear God's voice
- how God manifests Hais presence to us while we are in difficult times
- and more
Most importantly, you'll learn how to recognize God's voice above all others so that you can walk in obedience to him and experience the abundant life he wants you to have (Rom 8:28–30)—to hear God's still, small voice amid this loud and busy world.
One way you know Priscilla Shirer can discern the voice of God is how powerfully she proclaims it. God is all over this young woman. I know of no stronger, clearer voice for our ailing culture. When Christ speaks through her, we do well to sit up straight and listen.
Beth Moore, Author and Speaker
Learning to discern the voice of God can be something many believers struggle to understand. They worry about missing God’s voice or not hearing Him at all. Priscilla’s study takes this very important spiritual discipline and makes it simple without making it commonplace. We highly recommend this as a discipleship tool. It has made a tremendous impact on the women of our church.
