## Resource

How can you recognize God's voice in a world filled with spiritual confusion, deception, and competing beliefs? In this thought-provoking episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha sits down with author and speaker Tom Snow to discuss spiritual discernment, hearing God's voice, and the importance of testing spiritual experiences through Scripture. Tom shares his remarkable personal testimony of surviving terminal liver cancer as a teenager, his journey of faith, and how those experiences shaped his understanding of spiritual authority and biblical truth. The conversation explores the influence of New Age spirituality, the importance of studying God's Word, and why genuine spiritual discernment requires both biblical knowledge and a close relationship with God. In this episode, you'll discover: ✅ Tom Snow's powerful testimony of faith and healing ✅ Why he believes spiritual deception is becoming more common ✅ His perspective on the influence of New Age spirituality ✅ What he means by the "demon databank" concept ✅ Why choice and yielding shape our spiritual lives ✅ Two biblical foundations for discerning God's voice ✅ The relationship between Scripture, God's peace, and spiritual guidance Tom encourages believers to develop discernment by studying Scripture carefully, cultivating intimacy with God, and testing spiritual experiences rather than accepting every supernatural claim at face value. Whether you're seeking to grow in your faith, understand spiritual discernment, or learn practical ways to recognize biblical truth, this conversation offers thoughtful insights from Tom's personal journey and Christian perspective.
