Episode 58: Discerning the Voice of God for Your Health

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, we delve into the topic of discerning the voice of God for our health. Understanding how to hear from God in general is crucial, and we explore its significance and impact on our well-being. Through personal experiences and biblical references, we unravel the ways God communicates, emphasizing the importance of aligning decisions with His wisdom. Our hope is that this episode will give you clarity in seeking the voice of the Lord and being able to listen to His direction above the noise of the world.

Takeaways:

• Wait and Watch: Foster faith, tune your ears, and eagerly anticipate God's guidance. Psalm 5:3 reminds us to pray, listen, and watch for His voice.
• Word: Ensure alignment with God's teachings, using the Bible as a benchmark. Priscilla Shirer's "Five Ms" guides us in discerning the message, mode, model, ministry, and mercy of God's voice.
• Wisdom: Seek practical wisdom for health decisions. Evaluate choices through the lens of responsibility: Do I have the resources to handle this commitment along with my current responsibilities? Could this fit physically? Could this fit financially? Could this fit spiritually? Could this fit emotionally? God's guidance is not chaotic but brings the fruit of peace and righteousness.
