What Is The Key To Hearing His Voice Part 2

As mentioned in the previous post, the ONE thing that is needed to hear the voice of God is faith. 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞.

Some think that they can never hear the voice of God. It's actually easier than they think. A lack of confidence in knowing their identity in Christ often results in that mindset.

Some, on the other hand, think that they are hearing the voice of God pretty well. But it has never been tested. They pray alot, but they never take a step of faith to act on what they heard. They never take a step of faith to hear God for someone else. If you can't hear God for someone else (and test it with fruit), chances are... you haven't really heard God for yourself. Because it is the same principle.

God speaks in so many ways, and we should not limit the way He speaks. However, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮. If you try to over-spiritualise how you often hear from Him, but you never hear Him the same for others, there is a good chance that you have missed Him altogether. It becomes your own thoughts and your own imagination.

The foundation to hearing His voice is to know His love through the Word of God. Nothing is more sure than His Word. If you are unsure of His Word, His love for you will seem to change from time to time. Without knowing His love, you will not walk out faith, which is the key to hearing His voice.

Simple application: Take a verse (eg. 1 John 4:10) in the Bible and read it aloud 5 times slowly. Close your eyes and think about the verse.

What comes to your mind first?

What do you see?

What do you sense/feel?

Is there any word that you see in your mind?

Is there any thought that you think in your mind?

Is there any emotion that you feel in your heart?

Is there any word that you feel like speaking out of your mouth?

The list goes on...

I just did what I told you to do. When I closed my eyes, I saw a big hammer nailing both His hands to the Cross and the word 'forgiveness!' was shouted out of His mouth.

Notice... what I saw has nothing to do with the verse literally. It isn't in the verse. The word 'forgiveness!' isn't in the verse either. But God is speaking in alignment with His Word.

This is God speaking. But there is a place for interpretation after hearing from God. Sometimes, it is literal. Sometimes, it is figurative and you need to connect with Him deeper for the interpretation.

We will talk about that further in the next post. Meanwhile, this is the simplest approach to practise hearing God in alignment with the Word..
