Hearing the Voice of God: Dreams and Visions-Part 4
In this series, we have been looking at different ways in which God speaks to His children. Now we turn to dreams and visions.

Hearing the Voice of God: The Inner Voice and The Inner Witness-Part 3
Elijah, a prophet of the Old Testament, was a powerful servant of the Lord. When Israel fell into idolatry, he prayed that it would not rain, and for three and a half years the heavens were shut. (James 5:17 NIV) At Mount Carmel, he stood alone against the prophets of Baal and called down fire from heaven, demonstrating that Yahweh alone is God.
Yet despite these victories, fear overtook him, and he fled for his life. As James reminds us, Elijah "was a human being like us." (James 5:17 NAB) In his moment of exhaustion and disorientation, he needed what we all need—to hear from God.

These are questions that have been in the hearts of seekers for generations, because the longing to hear God is as old as humanity itself.
