The Voice or God or The Voice of My Flesh?

About this episode

In this week's episode we discussed how to differentiate between the voice of God and the voice of our flesh. To do this, we have to use the Bible. The Bible is our standard, it is the measuring stick which we use to determine the voice of God. God and His Word are one. They are always in unison. God will not speak contrary to His Word. In addition, our flesh is always self-centered, selfish, always seeking to satisfy the flesh and its desires. Despite this knowledge, many times we confuse the voice of our flesh with the voice of God because we go to God with an expected answer. When this happens, our self-bias coupled with our secret desires produced a self-satisfying answer disguised in misuse of scripture that sounds like God. When in truth, it is our flesh, and not God who is speaking. It is important that teens are able to know the difference between the two so that they do not walk contrary to the path the Lord has called them to.As a powerful episode filled with real information for teens and the wider Christian community at large, I hope it is a blessing to you. And if it is, please feel free to follow, like and share the podcast with family and friends. Send it to a teen who you know will benefit from it in this season of their life. Until next time, this is the Polymath Podcast with Ms Neisha. I'll see you on the other side.
