Listening to God

There it is again, 'the Holy Spirit said....' Acts 13:2 (NLT) It seems to be a common thing here in Acts. The Holy Spirit spoke to Peter telling him to fraternize with the gentiles. Here in Acts 13, the Holy Spirit tells the prophets and teachers in Antioch to set Barnabas and Saul apart for some special work.

So how do you tell when The Holy Spirit is 'speaking' to you? After all, there are a lot of nutcases out in the world who claim that God 'spoke' to them.

Take this guy for example. You might remember the guy who murdered another man on a Greyhound bus. He said that God told him to do it.

I've said previously that one of the primary tasks of a believer is to discern the leading of The Holy Spirit. Isn't that shakey ground?
