I have am going to speak at a women's retreat. The theme is "knowing the voice of God". I am going to teach a little, but I also want to do some type of activity where all the women can participate. Do you know of any good ones? Or do you know a website where I can find ideas?
Serious answers only. Thanks

have them write a short poem like this one
labor of the word

just think how far the apostles had tread
the words of God that have traveled by foot
attracting people by things that they said
Gods spread of his knowing to be so elete
the visible sensation of Gods elation
gathered through the souls on there tour
was'nt just one but all other nations
the spread of Gods words were for sure

I will go with Consciousness, not for Conscience. A man who lives through conscience becomes hard. A man who lives through consciousness remains soft.Because a man who has some ideas about how to live naturally becomes hard. He has to carry his character around himself. That character is like an armor; his protection, his security; his whole life is invested in that character. And he always reacts to situation through the character. If you ask him a question his answer is ready made. This is the sign of a hard person - he is dull stupid, mechanical. He may be a good computer, but he is not a man. You do something and he reacts in a well established way. His reaction is predictable; he is a robot. The real man acts spontaneously. If you ask him a question, your question gets a response, not a reaction. He opens his heart to your question, exposes himself to your question, responds to it. It's not a question of reward or punishment. It is simply your consciousness, your silence, your peace, which makes you look so far away and so deep into everything that you do. You cannot do harm to anybody; you cannot be violent: you cannot be angry, you cannot be greedy, you cannot be ambitious. Your consciousness has given you so much blissfulness...what can greed give you except anxiety? What can ambition give you? Just a continuous struggle to reach high on some ladder. As your consciousness becomes more settled, all your life patterns change. What religions have called sin will disappear from your life, and what they have called virtue will automatically flow from your being, from your actions. But they have been doing just vice versa: first change the acts. It is as if you are in a dark house and you are stumbling, light is not possible. What I am saying is, bring light in and stumbling will disappear, because when there is light why should you stumble over things? Every time you stumble, every time you hit your head on a wall it hurts. It is a punishment in itself - a wrong act is a punishment in itself; there is nobody recording your acts. And every beautiful action is a reward unto itself. But first bring light into your life. Meditation is an effort to bring light and to bring joy and to bring silence and to bring blissfulness, and out of this beautiful world of meditation it is impossible for you to do anything wrong. God Bless

The "voice of God" will never contradict what is written in His Word, the Holy Bible. Quite a few false religions have been installed by people thinking they heard God's word and that God wanted His word changed. John Smith of the Mormon's is one. God said, "the heavens and the earth may pass, but His word would not pass away."

I'm not sure of any activity on knowing the voice of God. However the voice of God comes in real life situations, and probably will not come when we are trying to 'work it out' or when we are just acting.
God's voice will come to those who are not held captive by their own will and desires, and are sincerely ready give up their own thoughts and plans for God's own. Also to those whose attentions are not gripped by the things of this life, and have their hearts looking out for God.
It is in prayer and spending time before God that our hearts are weaned of our tyrant desires and will, and the boisterous things of this life; and it is there that our hearts learn to tune in to Him

Study your bible, pick out a subject like love and go to 1 Corinthians the 13 th chapter and read what love is, I do this many times and you'll be surprised what God has to say what love is compared to all the made up things we come up with.

Have each woman go away by herself in a quiet room and pray this prayer: Father, may I know your voice? Have her sit quietly for no less than five minutes (you could do groups). Then after all the women have done this, compare notes, givine each at least 1 minute to say what her experience was.

Tell everyone in the room that if they listen really closely, they will actually hear a voice emanating from the sky! Like that time I had a bunch of friends listen, then I popped out a bunch of ghosts and loudly yelled "BOO!!! MUAHAHAHAHA"

Try this....Have everyone in the room Say "Jesus, I love you" and then have them listen as He says "I love you too", do it like 3 times. I promise, the Lord will always return the Love. God Bless you.

Drugs.
Suspension of logic.
Adoption of zero common-sense.
Mental illness.
Disabling of reason.

They'd all do it, even just one. Try all at once and the voices in your head will be extra loud.


THIS IS A SERIOUS ANSWER.
