Some people tell you what you need to hear. Others tell you what you want to hear. It's up to you which you listen to. Yes?
"TRUST BUT VERIFY".

Christians should be primarily listening to God. He speaks in many ways. So when false information or false reports present themselves, you should be able to reject them.

Yes, it is one’s own choice, no doubt here on this assertion Bob.

God uses people too by the spirit when they are moved. So that information that is given should be taken but also addressed either by talking with God through prayer, or perhaps even investigation of the Bible itself.

I listen to God and study the bible. I don't follow politics but will vote in the presidential election as that I might have a chance in helping to steer. But as far as my state is concerned, too many immigrants have came into it and vote democrat (which is really socialist).

I'm a sinner in need of salvation from God and I enjoy hearing from the God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus the Christ and their Angels.

While it is true there is much NOISE bantering about us, we must choose to be in a quiet place to listen to God. He is the author & finisher of our faith !

Do we NOT understand that all others must be blocked from our heart and minds hearing that we be not tossed about by every wind of doctrine..( I see this so much in ppl running from one denomination to another) I don't know the objective in this form of so called worship but it is plain to see the confusion that comes from such.

We must be steadfast in ONLY WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY...
HE AND HE ALONE HAS APPOINTED MAN ONCE TO DIE THEN THE JUDGMENT !

I understand where you are coming from especially when some people make a lot of money out of being the "voice"' but I have to admit i would not be where I am today without the input of godly men and women. God hasn't discounted others as the list of great men in the bible is referred to.

What I do think is important is discerning the body of Christ and the genuine people who are anointed by God. I automatically rule out those who do things to amass fortunes.

The men and women who have spoken into my life have usually died penniless because human rewards have never been high on their agenda. The scripture is clear. Do NOT lay-up treasures on earth. Shall I repeat that. DO NOT LAY UP TREASURES ON EARTH. As the saying goes. The one who dies with the most toys still dies.

I add my thanks to that as well. I have been so blessed to hear the pure words of truth being expounded by the Spirit through godly vessels.

I have found religious billboards, words of a song ect have shown to me the truth.

Too many ppl have lost much to the greedy devil through the " voices " of the superficial facades of faces he hides behind.
