Listen to that attached Video "Listening to God Speaking Through Others" then consider the following
Reflection situation and questions:
The following situation is often true. Years ago in College, one summer I sold Bible books, and occasionally I would ask others, what do you believe. They stated that they would have to ask their minister.
So—it was the minister who told them what they believed—now lets take this further—when they hear someone share about what they heard from the Lord, and that person is not an ‘Ordained minister’ they may not accept what is said as from the Lord. That is something that may have been taught—teaching that only the preacher can do--not just little me or someone else--only the minister with a title.
The Lord does not speak just to ministers—He speaks to all who seek with pure and contrite heart. When He speaks it may be something to guide us. It may be like the eye which is there to guide us.
Have we really stopped to consider that when we do not listen—to others speaking about what they have learned from the Lord through God’s Word—that it could that not accepting what is shared is like saying to the eye we do not need you?
How does this apply to us today?
How can we encourage people to listen to others who spend time in God’s word?
