In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Two Voices


Have you ever had times when you have two voices ringing in your head and you are confused not knowing which to listen to?

Its often depict in the cartoon or movie having an angel of you talking to you and another satan/devil of you talking to you..

I remember seeing a recent movie which the angel and the devil was trying to convince the person to listen to him..at the end they actually pick up a fight..hahaha..

I messaged a friend asking him...
which voice should I listen to?
He told me to listen to the voice which feels right..
then I reply him..both seems right at diff perspective..
Then he kept silence..I guess you know if we view things at diff angle, things looks diff and things will seems right in both the angles..

But this morning with a clearer mind..
I got my answer..
If I draw closer to God..the voice of the holy spirit will be louder and if I follow the voice of the holy spirit which God input in us after we accept Jesus christ as our Saviour..I can easily identify which is "what seems right."
Holy Spirit is one of the Trinity, whose work is to help us to pray and understand the word of God, remind us when something is against God's nature...keep us away from sin. I remember a pastor once said..if you start to ignore the voice of the holy spirit..this voice will get softer and softer...eventually..you won't hear it anymore..Many times we give in to sinful nature and the world's pleasure that we ignore/put down the reminder of the Holy Spirit in us.
Thus in conclusion..
Seek what God wants us to do.."What seems right/What will Jesus do if He is us.."
Draw closer to God and we will be able to see clearly and tells the diff...

Like the bible says in proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom & discipline."

The words of God builds one up whereas the words from the evil ones brings destruction.

So next time, if we ever have two voices ringing inside us..not knowing which to listen to...
Listen to the one who builds one up and not the one which will cause destruction.
For God is Love..God is Justice...just use these two as our basis guideline to doing what is right and good for us.

Conclusion: Read the Bible, pray everyday..listen to the sermons/words of God..Draw closer to God..and you will gain wisdom and understanding...and when you understand God better...(like interacting with your best friend..naturally you know what your bestfriend will do, likes or dun likes..) you will make the right decision..Cuz God never makes mistake or any wrong decision.

Have a blessed and wonderful Holiday "Hari Raya" and weekends ahead!

.......................MORE ABOUT ME................................

Wanna know more abt me??? Let's see...
I'm mostly Rachel
You are a dreamer, have a really good heart and are a lot smarter than people think you are! Being one of the most attractive people in your social circle makes you very popular with the opposite sex and you have no problem getting dates. You may have been spoiled as a rich kid, but the real world has taught you independence and responsibility. Plus you have an amazing sense of style and you are cool and sexy; but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to appreciate what’s truly important in life-because you do.
I also have some Ross in me
You're the smartest person in your social circle, and have big goals in life. You may have a little trouble getting dates with attractive members of the opposite sex, but you are very passionate about your partner. You often feel insecure in a relationship and most of your relations end awkwardly. Some people may think you are a little dull and too practical, but you are just being a responsible and mature person. When you feel like it, you can certainly take the stick out of your butt and have a great time.
