how to hear you're call:

hey,

okay so I know if you ask any Christian how to know whether to do something, they'll say "Well wait for his call. Pray and he will awnser" , but have you ever wondered if it's wordily awnser or from God awnser. I mean what if it doesn't directly come from the bible, but it's God talking through someone? what if it's the devil talking through someone? these questions are all so valid. And though I can't give you all the awnser, I can pass on the wisdom that the Bible says as well as a wise simile I once heard (taken from the Bible and expanded) .

Okay first of all, "debatable" Christian topics are not very debatable and I want to just make that clear first. In Romans 14: 5-6 it says "some consider one day more sacred than another, others consider every day alike. Everyone should be fully convinced in their own mind. Those who consider one day as special do so to the Lord. Those who eat meat do so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God, and those who abstain do so to the Lord and give thanks to God.

Verse 22-23 then says: "So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed are to those who do not condemn themselves by what they approve. But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith, and everything that does not come from faith is sin." This can be about anything that is not crystal clear in the Bible such as if Christian rock music is acceptable ect. If it says "Do not steal", then you cannot argue that because of you're faith you are going to steal for God. That would be dishonoring what he said.

Okay so what if it has to do with another aspect of life? Well personally I think that every aspect of life has to do with faith because everything we do should be in faith. That being said I heard a simile about hearing God's call. I mean how to know if something is wrong or right in the first place for you? Well I heard "Jesus is like our shepard and he will call to us if we're on the wrong path. But every sheep needs to know it's shepards voice or it will not respond. So like sheep, we must know God's voice so when he calls to us we can awnser." His voice is the Bible and it's something that even if you've read over 5 times, you can always learn from it. I say this because certain verses can start jumping out at you when you're going through a certain situation. Know you may say but if it's debatable it won't have clear awnser right? The thing is it sort of does. It can speak to you in a way and give you certain convictions, and to another it may speak differently.
