We can only follow God if we listen to what He has to say. He speaks to us through the Bible, which is His inspired word to us, and through the Holy Spirit, which is His Spirit talking to ours. We must guard against deception by knowing HIs Word and testing every other word and internal voice against it. When the Bible is unclear to us or doesn't speak directly into our situation, then we pray and ask God to teach and guide us through His Spirit.

Description

1 Kings 13 Jeroboam and the prophet sent to warn him both failed to listen to and follow God, and they suffered the consequences for it. Jeroboam completely disregarded God’s commands, and the prophet was deceived, but still disobeyed the Lord. He trusted what someone else told him that God said instead of doing what God told him directly. Jeroboam let his fear overtake his faith and made up his own set of rules, while the prophet put his faith in a man instead of God Himself. So, how can we keep from making the same mistakes?
