John 10:27 <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n God is willing to talk with you. Are you receptive? Are you ready and willing to listen to God?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n But you cannot have a relationship with someone without communication.<\/span><\/p>\n Who says God does not speak anymore? Who says the days of miracles are over? God still speaks today through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit communicates the deep things of God to us 1) through His written Word 2) through His anointed servants 3) supernatural means as dreams and visions 4) circumstances<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our Circumstances<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes the only way God can teach us something is to allow circumstances in our life to lead us to and through the very thing we need to discover.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Still Small Voice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Most of the time God uses a tiny voice inside us to let us know when we’re not on the right path. Some people call it “the voice of peace.” Whenever we’re contemplating something and we don’t have peace about it, it’s a very good idea to stop and carefully look at the options. There’s a reason when you don’t feel peace about it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Actual Voice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes we’re able to “hear” something in our spirit that sounds to us like an actual audible voice. Or all of a sudden, you just know you heard something. Pay attention to those occasions because it is very likely God is trying to tell you something.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n God will speak to us in many ways; one of the main ways is through the written scriptures. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17 NIV<\/strong>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Through other people<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Many times God will use other people to try to get through to us. It’s possible for God to use anyone at any time, but I find more messages coming from people who are practicing Christians than non-practicing ones.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n God will never speak to you in contradiction to His written Word. Every time God speaks it must be measured and judged by His word.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We need to open our hearts to receive the word of the Lord not only from the Bible but through the other channels by which God speaks.<\/span><\/p>\n We walk in life by hearing and obeying the proceeding word of the Lord by whatever means He chooses to speak that word in us.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jeremiah 7:23-24 NKJV<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n But this is what I commanded them, saying, \u2018Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you. \u201cYet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. <\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Many today are not able to hear the continuous voice of God because of a fixed mindset of how God can speak to them or how God should speak to them. They have developed their own limited understanding of who God is and how He could speak. Some are teaching that the days of miracles are over. They are not trying to live by what God said, and refuse to hear what He is saying. So they have literally rejected the God of miracles.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If we are going to grow in faith, our hearts and our ears must be open to Him. We must believe that the word of the Lord can come to us today. If we do not refuse His voice like the children of Israel but willing to hear His voice and obey Him we will be able to walk in His destiny.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n BE READY FOR HIS VOICE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We need not go through all kinds of ritual and ceremony for God to speak to us. God can and often does speak to us when we are least expecting to hear from Him. We don’t have to strain ourselves to hear from God.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WE NEED TO TUNE IN TO HIS CHANNEL <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Spiritual maturity progresses as we become more Holy Spirit conscious and less self-conscious. The more we are able to die to ourselves and walk in the spirit the more we become sensitive to the voice of God. God is spirit and He will only speak to your born-again spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Hearing-Gods-Voice-600x415\"](\"http:\/\/www.sethskim.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Hearing-Gods-Voice-600x415.jpg\")
