What Is The Key To Hearing His Voice Part 3

What Is The Key To Hearing His Voice Part 3

Faith is what completes hearing His voice. Without stepping out in faith, you can never be sure if you are hearing Him.

In Part 2, I shared a simple approach to train yourself to hear His voice in alignment with the Word (which holds the Supreme Authority). The practice is vital, because if you are hearing something that is not in line with who Jesus is, there is a high chance that you are either hearing your own thoughts or the devil's. The enemy also knows how to use the word of God and act as God speaking to you.

This is why practising hearing His voice through the Word builds up your foundation.

In a recent Haji Lane outreach that my family and I did, there were many testimonies out of about 40 pax whom we ministered to. I'm sharing one here with the thought process on how we heard His voice.

Faith includes an expectation. 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

You expect God to move through you because He has put the Kingdom of God in you. What you expect is usually what you receive. However, we do not limit ourselves to our expectation. We can expect the unexpected. We can expect God to move beyond our expectation (Eph 3:20)

A lady sat down (together with her friend) at the spiritual reading booth. We got her to choose a spiritual reading card.

Disclaimer: The cards are purely props/tools to draw people to us. We do not rely on the cards. In fact, we don't use them. 

She flipped the card and it is written, "A blessing for family." Immediately, we saw the image of a left ear at the back of our mind's eyes. Then we had an impression of the word 'blocked'. Notice... we didn't use the card at all.

So we asked, "Does one of your ears have a problem?" She was shocked because she was probably in her 30s; she wasn't wearing any hearing aid; nothing was visible in the natural.

She responded, "Actually, my ear is completely deaf."

Faith also includes confidence. Sometimes, confidence arises within you and you say things like, "Your left ear is deaf, correct?" Yet on other occasions, you can simply ask a question such as, "Does one of your ears give you problem?" It depends on the level of your confidence (aka faith) at that point in time. There is no hard and fast rule. So you need to weigh on the confidence within and the strength of the impression you received from God.

The stronger the impression, the more confident you can be.

The weaker the impression, the more courage you need to step out in faith.

Why did we first hear God on a healing need through the word of knowledge for the lady? 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

My passion is to see people healed bodily. I expect that. The first category of word of knowledge that I walk in is for healing. So when I hear God for someone, I expect that to come first. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞. And God usually first speaks to me about someone's need for healing, 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐭.

But we must not limit God to one area. So we can expect the unexpected. We can expect God to speak about other areas. We can expect to hear more from Him for the same person.

In the next post, I will continue the story for this lady and her friend.

Hearing the voice of God is not something flaky or reserved for the gifted. Sharing testimonies are great. But I believe that by sharing the actual thought process, it will empower you to step out.
