Our first Mystic Monday episode gives a bit of background from Calvary Bible Church and distinguishes how "God told me" is misused and abused in many circles today. Although we hear many use this phrase, we must be cautious in taking the advice or directions given. I was taught we were to be listening for God, but the clencher is many times that was outside of the written Word of God. Do you ever wonder why so many of these HVG- Hearing Voice of God (term from Jim Osman) speak from personal experiences more than the Bible? Why is it they can take a scripture here and there and form their own message? Let's begin to dig a bit deeper in to their philosophy and understand where yours is rooted also.
Added to the resources is Right Response Ministries, not shared in podcast but might shed more light to this. My Saturday Spotlight Resource Justin Peters is being interviewed and helps show other doctrines these leaders are a part of. It has really helped open my eyes and I pray it does yours also.
