The WAY to discipleship The Voice of God: How Often Does He Speak?I am a believer from the Pentecostal/Charismatic background.

Or, even more closer to home, on the internet, including this post? The answer is sometimes and many times not for all of the above. What is the ministry of the Word? If the Lord has spoken through a message, you will know it. Doctrine is useful as a guide for our Christian living, but is not the Word of the Lord.
