Divine Guidance | Episode 14 | Godly Counsel

Duane Sheriff Ministries - Messages

In the fourteenth episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches the importance of godly counsel. While the Holy Spirit speaks to believers directly, God often confirms His leading through multiple witnesses, including wise and mature counsel from fellow Christians. Proverbs 15:22 highlights, "Without counsel, purposes are disappointed, but in the multitude of counselors they are established." This scripture emphasizes the importance of seeking counsel from godly individuals when making important decisions.

Duane shares his personal experiences, including how godly counsel helped him navigate challenges in his ministry and confirmed his decision to marry his wife, Sue. Solely relying on one's understanding may be influenced by worldly thinking. Instead, believers should seek out mature believers who have fruit in the area where guidance is needed. As Proverbs 19:20 states, "Hear counsel and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end."

Christians have the responsibility not only to seek godly counsel but also to become wise counselors. As believers mature in their faith, they should be able to help each other discern God's voice and offer sound, scripture-based advice to others, always pointing them toward God's will.
