“Immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.”~ Gal. 1:16
Oswald Chambers says, “Never ask advice of another about anything God makes you decide before Him. If you ask advice, you will nearly always side with the devil.”
I find God’s voice is distinctive among all the voices of the world. There is no mistaking it, unless I am “dull of hearing.” If I do not have a personal, intimate, relationship with the Lord, I’ll misinterpret it every time. Samuel did on three different occasions.
Mary knew that voice, though it was disguised behind the garb of a gardener. Elijah heard that still, small voice amid the boisterous wind, a deafening earthquake, and the loud roar of the fire. Paul’s ear was always tuned in on Heaven’s frequency.
When God speaks directly to our hearts, we need not ask the advice of friends and loved ones. We need not take our cases before men; we need only to abandon our own course, ambitions, and schemes, and obey the “heavenly voice.”
When a father speaks directly to one of his children the choice to obey is not open for discussion with the other brothers or sisters.
