Is that you God? The father desires a personal relationship in which He speaks directly to you. Have you been in the presence of passionate believers who shared stirring encounters with God’s voice while your own soul overflowed with confusion? How did they know God was speaking? Discerning the Voice of God provides practical help in knowing what you hear is from God. This study will show you how to seek him and how to hear from him. Through this study of the book of Habakkuk, you will grow closer to God and become more familiar with his character, language, and tone of voice. No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, this study is for you. Author: Priscilla Shirer
