ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE HEARING GOD’S VOICE?
Preconceptions become strongholds and stumbling blocks. Worldviews and paradigms are preconceptions that seem real but aren’t real. They can deceive you. However, if you seek the Holy Spirit, He will begin to weaken those preconceptions and set you free. “If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know.” 1 Corinthians 8:2
Rationalized theologies are some of the worst preconceptions. The Bible plus one assumption is an assumption. Once anyone rationalizes, it doesn’t matter how wonderful the personality teaching the lie is, it’s still a lie. Religious lies (called doctrines) bind you spiritually and keep you from hearing the voice of Jesus Christ.
Some of your friends and acquaintances make it harder to hear God. Peers pressure you. They’re under the influence of the false teachers, lying counselors, and false prophets you’ve been avoiding. They work against you spiritually. Some of your most caustic contacts stir up fear within you, and you react to that fear instead of listening to God’s voice.
Enemies from the outside distort your judgment. These are false teachers, lying counselors, and false prophets. They hide their lies in news media, all other media, and education. They plant their seeds through the themes of movies, cartoons, and novels. They influence you through entertainment and magazines. They can be very subtle or in your face, but they have their effect. If you’re spending time with any of these, you may wonder why you aren’t making spiritual progress and why God’s voice is hard to discern. Wonder no longer.
