Divine Guidance | Episode 11 | Kingdom Protocol

In the eleventh episode of "Divine Guidance," Duane Sheriff teaches Kingdom Protocol and how it helps us discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. We can confirm God's voice by recognizing three vital witnesses: righteousness, peace, and joy. God always speaks in righteousness. In Isaiah 45:19, God says, "I have not spoken in secret." Everything God says aligns with righteousness, making this a key marker to identify His voice.

In Psalms 23:3, the scripture reveals that the Lord leads us in "paths of righteousness" for His name's sake. The second witness is peace. Colossians 3:15 tells us to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. This peace acts like an umpire, helping us make decisions that align with God's will. Duane shares a personal experience where his loss of peace served as a sign from God to alter his path, illustrating how peace can be a powerful indicator of divine guidance.

Lastly, joy is a significant witness of the Holy Spirit's voice. Nehemiah 8:10 says, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." We will experience a deep, abiding joy when we align with God's will. Joy comes from making righteous and peaceful decisions, which pleases the Holy Spirit. By understanding and applying these Kingdom Protocols—righteousness, peace, and joy—we can confidently navigate our spiritual journey and grow closer to God.
