Stating that few of us have the experience of speaking directly to God, as Moses did, Christian scholars Henry and Richard Blackaby give advice on other ways to "hear" His voice. There are examples of ordinary people having a strong feeling to do something that seems crazy. Mel Foster reads with conviction and reveals that when people muster the courage to do what appears insane, it usually becomes clear that it's the right thing to do. In hushed tones, Foster encourages listeners to heed that nagging feeling. This tape is worth listening to for the Blackabys' advice on finding God's will for your life.

Hearing God's Voice FROM THE PUBLISHER
Based on classic Experiencing God principles. Hearing God's Voice is for those who are ready to listen. Beloved author Henry Blackaby and his son Richard help those who are listening to discern the voice of God, to identify ways He speaks, and to respond to revelations of His will.
God speaks to individuals in ways that are personal and unique to each person. God will never say anything that contravenes what He has said in the Bible. After you learn to listen to God, hearing from God will be as natural as communicating with a close friend. "Modern Christians sometimes struggle because they must relate to an invisible God. They do not hear his audible voice. They do not feel his physical touch. Many Christians conclude the only relationship they can have with God will be found in diligently obeying biblical commandments and teachings. So they invest their lives earnestly trying to follow the rules and admonitions they find in Scripture. This can lead to a ritualistic, legalistic religion. This stagnant approach to worship has no more life to it than worshiping idols... Those who worship a lifeless, silent god, embrace a lifeless religion that offers nothing but silence. The Christian life is meant to include so much more!
"We contend that God does speak to his people. However, people must be prepared to hear what he is saying. It is crucial that Christians clearly understand what God is communicating to them and know how to respond appropriately. The question, then, is not whether God speaks to his people, but how does he do so? "Perhaps you have been confused about what God is saying to you. You may have been taught that God does not speak to people. Maybe you have grown disillusioned because of professing Christians who claim God speaks to them in excessive and unbiblical ways. If you have not heard God speak to you, perhaps you have come to assume your experience is normative for the Christian life. This book is written to help you clearly recognize God's voice. When God speaks, he does not give new revelation about himself that contradicts what he has already revealed in Scripture. Rather, God speaks to give application of his Word to the specific circumstances in your life. When God speaks to you, he is not writing a new book of Scripture, rather, he is applying to your life what he has already said in his Word. Throughout the Bible, whenever God spoke to someone, that person's life was never the same again. The same is true today. Our prayer is that as you listen to what God is saying to you, you will respond in love and obedience and your life will be transformed as well."
