Designed to Hear God
November, 23 2009

Over the past several years as I have traveled to different parts of the world, I've witnessed the desire and hunger in the lives of people who often ask, "Can I hear the voice of God?" This hunger is not just limited to the saints in the Church, but has become a recognized need among people of various religions and even people who don't claim to practice any specific religion at all.

The spirit realm has become a quest, and people are eager to tune into this dimension. Tapping into this desire, the television, movie and media industries constantly promote more and various programs related to the supernatural and depict increased paranormal stories that have become a new attraction to the masses. In addition, television and radio talk show hosts often invite psychics and mediums to lead discussions on how to access the spirit realm, talk to the dead, and know your future.

Moreover, the occult has attracted thousands of people, especially young people who want to engage the spirit world. Mysticism fused with new age teaching seems so Christian-like that even believers find it difficult to discern the difference. Meanwhile, astrologists continue to intently study the stars and planets and use their findings to relate to people through horoscopes and to give description to future events.
