I Often read of "God Told Me"

[warrior12]

So in doing my usual browsing and snippets of ytube and others and even here on Worthy, I often hear the phrase "God told me ". 

My question is, in what form  you have heard from God.  Audible [plain words spoken], appearance or whatever form.    Please explain in detail if you can.

God told me that those who say such things should be ignored.......I believe Him.

The Bible reveals to us everything we need to know and that is how God “tells” us anything He wants us to know.

God also told you this. 

 

 

Acts 2:16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

I hear you Gary.

But you know the audience to whom I am asking this question.   Some say that they get revelations and I want to know in what form, as I have not have heard any like God actually speaking to me in words.

God told me in my previous post to inject a little humor.....yuk....yuk....

If somebody “ prophesies”, That can be determined......for somebody to say “ God told me” every five minutes   Is just being a Spiritual show- off.To them I say “pfftt”......lol

I am curious too.

Some of them say that they hear the audible voice of God and they are wrong.

Some others mean it softly I think.

Anyway, I think it' s a wrong and abused way to express ourselves.

God can make us understand things through His Word, our siblings quoting and living His Word and the application of His Word to circumstances of life, but usually people who say "God told me" think that God communicate with them through their emotions or whatever voice in their head.

So I would avoid using that expression and beware of it.

Well, a lot of people have the belief that we are in the last days and as Wignut pointed to Acts 2:16, many see this as people who say they got dreams about this and that and the public are taking those things seriously.  So if people are saying these things which are false and leading many astray, then this is a serious matter.   As I said, there are people here who say these things to, that God told them to write something or to warn about something ect. 

I just want to hear from people who have said they heard from God, in what manner they did and in all seriousness.

I have had and still go through things in the spiritual realm and they are true. If I give some insights here, I may not be believed and that's fine as I cannot lie to myself and God and that would be on my testimony on that day.  

So, if people are saying that they have heard from God, I just want to know in what manner they have heard, not what was said really.  That would be between them and their maker when the truth of their testimony is judged on that day.  Belief or not is not the issue, is what manner they have received their messages.

I have similar conclusion too. I know ytube is what it is, but we do get a bit of exposure of what people are thinking and a way for lets say believers to  express themselves and what goes on in their lives.  In the church, you hear of testimony of people saying God told them about what going to happen and to tell others ect.  Some actuall say they have had visitations by Jesus ect.   I guess, I want to hear testimony of this here on worthy, who have had these experiences.

Blessings, if you would allow me to be so bold;

Scripture does tell us how we are to hear and be led by God. 

Scripture says;

Colossians 3:15 (NASB)
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

“let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts”

That word “rule” can also be translated “arbitrate”. 

So it can be translated; 

let the “peace of Christ arbitrate in you hearts”.

Meaning,  that if something upsets the peace of Christ in your heart,  do something different. Doesn’t matter what it is, if it upsets the peace of Christ in your heart and you still do it, you are not walking in all the light that has been given you. For He has given His peace as an arbitrator. 

This is for all His children. 

Much love in Christ, Not me
