Was That God?: Discerning God's voice

Was that God speaking... or was that just me? It is one of the most important-and sometimes most confusing-questions a Christian can ask. You pray about a decision. A thought keeps coming back to you. A door suddenly opens-or unexpectedly closes. Someone says exactly what you needed to hear. You feel a strong sense that you should do something, change something, go somewhere, or wait. And then comes the question: "Was that God?" In Was That God, Pastor David Lee offers a practical, biblical, and down-to-earth guide to discerning God's voice in a world filled with competing voices, emotions, opinions, desires, fears, and distractions. This isn't about chasing signs, decoding coincidences, or treating every thought that enters your mind as a message from heaven. It's about learning how God leads His people, how His guidance will always agree with His Word and His character, and how to recognize the difference between God's direction and the noise around us. At the heart of the book is a simple framework you can return to whenever you are trying to discern God's leading: TEST THE SIGNAL S - Scripture: Does it agree with God's Word? I - Intention: What desire or motive is driving me? G - God's Character: Does it sound like Jesus? N - Notice the Fruit: What will following this produce? A - Ask Wise Believers: What do mature Christians see? L - Leave Room for Correction: Am I holding this humbly? Throughout the book, Pastor Dave tackles the questions Christians actually wrestle with: Does God still speak today? How does the Holy Spirit lead us? Can God use circumstances? What about dreams, impressions, open doors, closed doors, other people, or that persistent feeling you just can't shake? And what do you do when you genuinely believe God is leading you-but you still aren't completely sure? Written in a warm, conversational style, Was That God is not a formula for hearing God perfectly. It is an invitation to know Him more deeply, understand Scripture more clearly, grow in spiritual discernment, and make decisions with greater wisdom and humility. Because the goal isn't to become someone who confidently labels every impression, "God told me." The goal is to become someone who knows God well enough to recognize His voice-and wise enough to test the signal. If you have ever prayed, listened, wondered, questioned, or whispered, "God, is that You?" this book was written for you.
