HEARING GOD’S VOICE 5 –
How Do I Hear God’s Voice? 1
“I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly”
Psalm 85:8 (NKJV)
Through this new devotional series on this Machaira with Apostle Bennie platform, I have answered a number of questions such as:
1. Is there really a voice of God or it’s a mere human hypothesis?
2. Does God speak to all men (the good people and the evil people, believers and unbelievers)?
3. Why does God speak to men? What is the drive or intention of His speaking?
4. Does God still speak to Christians/believers apart from the canonized Bible?
Now we move on to address the most asked question:
How do I hear the Voice of God?
Knowing how to hear the voice of God will help you follow the direction of the Lord, in this noisy pluralistic–postmodern world.
To fully know how to hear God’s voice, you must understand how God speaks.
When you know and understand how God speaks you won’t have doubts when you hear Him speak to you. When you also know how God speaks you will know the voice of God when you hear His speaking.
Before the revelation of Jesus, God spoke in different ways or mediums to His people and even to all men.
“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…” Hebrews 1:1-2 (KJV)
From yesterday’s episode, I explained how everything God says to you now must be consistent with the scriptures (the Bible, which is the Word of God).
Before Christ was revealed, God spoke to the Fathers mainly through the Prophets. And these Prophets and some of the fathers also received a message from the Lord through:
1. His creation.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.” Psalms 19:1-2 (KJV) See also: Romans 1:18-20.
2. Dreams and Visions
(1 Kings 3:5; Matthew 2:13; Genesis 15:1; Acts 9:10; Acts 10:1-6)
3. Angels
( Luke 1:19; 26-38)
The scriptures reveal that God also spoke audibly or in a loud voice. Such speaking was described as the sound of thunder (Job 37:4-5; ), a trumpet (Revelation 4:1) or even a noise of many waters (Ezekiel 43:2).
During Paul’s conversion, the people that were with him heard only a sound but Paul heard the Lord’s voice (Acts 9:4,7).
The Lord also spoke in a still small voice.
Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 1 Kings 19:11-13 (NKJV)
Though God still communicates or speaks through His angels, created things, dreams, and visions in these times, He ultimately speaks through His word.
Some people are in search of an angelic encounter, a trance or a mystical prophetic vision before they know the Lord is talking to them. Some look out for signs before they respond to the instructions of the Lord just as Gideon did (Judges 6:33-40).
God’s present Word to man is the revelation of Jesus.
It doesn’t matter the angelic encounter you have or the vision you receive, if the encounter or vision doesn’t give a message consistent with the gospel or revelation of Jesus, then it is not from God.
“Anyone who comes to you with a different message than the grace gospel that you have received will have the curse of God come upon them! For even if we or an angel appeared before you, to give you a different gospel than what we have already proclaimed, God’s curse will be upon them.” Galatians 1:8 (TPT)
This then means that the Word of God (which is the revelation of Jesus) is the texture of the Voice (or speaking or any communication) of God.
Selah.
Thank you Lord for the gift of your voice.
I don’t give room for deception.
I saturate my heart with the Word to discern the texture of God in what I hear.
Wow The Voice Of God Can Be Heard
The ability to hear the voice of God is a Gift
Thank You Apostle For This Revelation
This means, every prophecy, dream or vision must be judged according to God’s word.
The speaking of God does not contradict His word.
Thank you dear heavenly Father, I pray that the word of God will dwell in me richly and that I can discern the texture of God’s voice in what I hear and do in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
John.10.16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. (NKJV)
Thank you father
Thank you sweet spirit of God
Thank Jesus for the way forward oooh
Thank you Apostle sir
God bless you and elevate you
Thank you for your labour
Thank you for the rich nourishment you always bring to our door step each and every single day, you are a great encouragement to us oooh. I love you.
So many religious groups emerged from these visions and trans where they see a glorious light and think it is from God but they make the mistake not to check and compare if that is what it is according to the revelation of Christ and may even mislead many into things that do not come from God
As believers, we check whatever we receive through the lens of Jesus so that we can skip deception
Glory to God.
God’s present word to man is the revelation of Jesus
Importance Of Knowing And Understanding How God Speaks.
1. When you know and understand how God speaks you won’t have doubts when you hear Him speak to you.
2. When you also know how God speaks you will know the voice of God when you hear His speaking.
God’s present Word to man is the revelation of Jesus.
I remain resolute in my conviction of the revelation of Jesus.
I esteem the word of God above all things
Thank you Lord for gift of your voice
Thank you sweet Jesus for the gospel.
Thank you Lord for Machaira with Apostle Bennie
I esteem the word of God above all voices
I don’t give room to deception
I know and hear the voice of God
God’s present Word to man is the revelation of Jesus. I go for the Scriptures. The Scriptures are the out-breathings of God, the revelation of the Lord Jesus to man .
I hear the Voice of the God through His Word. I meditate on His Word to hear Him more and more. I have the mind of Christ.
Thank you very much Sir.
Thank you Apostle for this great revelation
Thank you Lord Jesus
Heeyyyaaaa
I judge every spiritual encounter, visions or voice by the revelation of Jesus
I don’t give room for any deception
Ooh thank you Jesus!!
the small still voice
The texture of God’s voice is the word of God
BAAAMMMMM
Thank You Lord
Thank you for this session. The Lord still speaks audibly, through Angels, and dreams. However, the texture of God’s voice and details are consistent with my bible. For the things that were written aforehand were written for our learning that we through the patience of the scripture and comfort of hope may attain the promise.
I am excited about this topic
The Lord’s word is the texture of His Voice.
Heyaaa I take heed
