Hearing Jesus: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Prayer, Hearing God & Christian Affirmations

Saturday is a good day to slow down and look back over your week with God. Not to replay everything or overthink it, but to notice where He met you, where He carried you, and where His grace showed up. These Scripture-based Christian affirmations are a gentle way to reflect with honesty and gratitude before the new week begins.

I'll say each affirmation, pause so you can repeat it after me, and then
read the Bible verse it comes from.

Confidence in Hearing God:

Something can be accurate and still not be from God. That's the hardest
part of discernment, and it's what we're working through today.

This week we've been talking about prophecy, and a question came in about
something I said on Monday: that accuracy is not the test. Today I explain what I meant, using the slave girl in Acts 16 who said something completely true while serving something demonic. I also share what happened in Maui with a tarot card reader, and something the Lord did at church on Sunday that I haven't talked about yet.

Questions we answer today

What's the difference between something being true and something being
truth?
Why does Paul cast a spirit out of a girl who was telling people the truth?
Why are tarot cards, psychics, and horoscopes a counterfeit rather than
harmless?
What does it mean that the enemy disguises himself as an angel of light?
What's the difference between a private prayer language and a public message in
tongues?

Hearing God in Luke:

Within six verses of saying Scripture had been fulfilled in their
hearing, Jesus' hometown was dragging Him toward a cliff. What set them off is worth understanding.

Today we're in Luke 4:16-30. Jesus announces the year of the Lord's
favor, which was Jubilee, and then He stops reading Isaiah mid-sentence. He
leaves out the part about vengeance, which is the part they had been waiting generations for. Then He tells two stories about God's mercy landing on outsiders, and the room turns on Him. Underneath all of it is a question worth sitting with in our own Bible study: do we want the miracle more than the miracle worker?

Questions we answer today

What was the year of the Lord's favor, and what did Jubilee actually
mean?
Why did Jesus stop reading Isaiah 61 halfway through the sentence?
Why does Luke keep using the word "today"?
What were they really saying with "physician, heal yourself"?
Why did the stories of the widow and Naaman enrage them?
Can we fall into the same entitlement they did?
