— True spiritual experience must submit to Scripture.
📖 Summary
Many claim to “hear God’s voice” or “speak in tongues,”
but Scripture teaches that God has already spoken fully through His Word.
The Spirit’s work today is not new revelation but illumination of existing truth.
Any “voice” or “message” that goes beyond Scripture is not from God.
1️⃣ Biblical Foundation
📘 Hebrews 1:1–2 (ESV) — God spoke by His Son; revelation is complete.
📘 John 16:13 (ESV) — The Spirit guides into truth, not new revelation.
📘 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (ESV) — Scripture is fully sufficient for faith and life.
2️⃣ Theological Insight
📜 John MacArthur — Charismatic Chaos
“Most modern claims of hearing God arise from disbelief in Scripture’s sufficiency.”
📜 R.C. Sproul — The Mystery of the Holy Spirit
“The Spirit illuminates, not supplements, the Word.”
📜 John Piper — Desiring God
“God still speaks—always through His written Word, never against it.”
📜 D.A. Carson — Showing the Spirit
“Any alleged prophecy must be tested under Scripture’s authority.”
📜 Sinclair Ferguson — The Holy Spirit
“The Spirit’s true work glorifies Christ, not emotional experiences.”
3️⃣ Misconceptions vs Biblical Truth
| Misconception | Cause | Biblical Truth |
|---|---|---|
| “Hearing God’s voice means deeper faith.” | Mysticism | Scripture is already God’s complete voice. |
| “Tongues prove spirituality.” | Charismatic excess | The Spirit’s mark is fruit, not noise. |
| “Inner impressions are divine.” | Emotionalism | True illumination reveals truth, not feelings. |
| “Experience trumps doctrine.” | Experientialism | Experience must submit to Scripture. |
4️⃣ Application | How to Discern the Spirit’s Voice
1️⃣ Test every “voice” against Scripture.
2️⃣ True revelation glorifies Christ, not self.
3️⃣ The Spirit leads to obedience, not emotional dependence.
4️⃣ Submit personal experiences to the church’s discernment.
5️⃣ Conclusion | The Spirit Still Speaks—Through the Word
God still speaks today,
but His voice is written, not whispered.
We don’t need a new word from God—
we need renewed obedience to the one He already gave.
