Crossroads Vineyard Church Devotional > THURSDAY, August 15th Knowing God’s Voice > Key #4 > Godly Counsel God may speak to you through another individual - a friend, relative, pastor, even a stranger. You would be wise to confirm what you hear God saying by seeking affirmation of that direction through other trusted Believers. Even if other Christians do not directly give you counsel, God can use their words to reveal or confirm His will, as the Holy Spirit works in your life. Also, as a member of a local church, you can observe what God is saying to the entire church. God often will direct you personally through the input of others who are regularly in Christian fellowship with you. Today’s Bible Reading: Proverbs 11:14 For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers. Acts 9:10-18 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Yes, Lord,” he answered. 11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” 13 “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.” 15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.” 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized
