Did you know that the God who created the whole universe wants to talk with you, and not just once,

but every single day? That's right. And today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick Warren

brings his life-changing series called Hearing the Voice of God to a close. In this series, Rick reveals

how you can tune into God's voice, build a real friendship with him, and discover his direction

for your life, loud and clear. Okay, and now here's Rick with the final part of a message called

Getting God's Vision for My Life.

Now, the very evidence proof of something real exists is when there's a counterfeit of it.

The counterfeit proves that there must be a reality. For instance, have you ever seen a counterfeit $4 bill? No, why? Because

there's no such thing as a real $4 bill. Nobody's going to counterfeit something that doesn't

exist. Satan cannot create anything. Satan is not a creator. He's not God. He's a created being himself. Satan cannot

create anything. He can only corrupt and pervert. God creates sex. Satan perverts sex.

God creates money and wealth. Satan perverts money and wealth. God creates all of the great things in life. Satan corrupts and perverts them. He cannot create anything. All they can do is copy, corrupt, and pervert. So, there are real legitimate teachers in life who teach the truth, and there are false teachers. They're fakes, they're phonies, their counterfeits.

There are real prophets of God in life, and there are false prophets who lead people astray.

There are real visions and real dreams that come from God. So there are false dreams and visions that come

from Satan. They're phony. The reason that they're fake ones is because the real ones exist.

You say, well, how do I know? How do I know when it's from God or Satan? You need to go back two weeks ago if you missed that message when I talked about the seven

ways you test an impression.

Because there's seven ways the Bible tells us to know whether that idea is from God or

that idea is from Satan or that idea is from the burrito ate last night.

Everything God creates, Satan tries to misuse and pervert.

But it doesn't mean you give it up.

I mean, Satan perverts sex.
