Hearing God's Voice


When it comes to hearing God's voice, many Christians think this is only for a selected few such as pastors and prophet etc. However, that's not true, as God speaks to us all the time but because we are not in tune with his frequency we barely hear God speak and don't even know if he speaks to us at all.


Many think God will not talk to them because they are a sinner, saying, I don't pray enough and so no. Although this is partially true, it is not the main reason. Revelation 3:20  explains that Jesus Christ is knocking, all the time, at the door of our spirit but our frequency is tuned to the wrong channel. 

The ability to hear God's voice and know God is embedded in our spirit. John 4:24 says God is a spirit and it's our spirit that communicates with him, not our mind or thought. If we think about what we give out time to, we will see that our frequency is mostly tuned into the pressures that we are experiencing. We cannot hear God speak to us in this kind of atmosphere.

Even if God speaks to us, with our busy schedule we will miss it because we are not fully tuned to him. Have you ever tried to tune your radio to a particular station? As you get closer to it you see that the sound is not clear, this is because you are not fully tuned with the channel. It is the same with hearing God's voice. 

Many of us hear God's voice but will make decisions based on human logic. God does speak and it's through our spirit that God communicate to us all the time. If we want to hear God speak we should learn how to connect to him through our spirit, since God is a spirit and that is how he responds and talks to us. Man is a spirit being that lives in a body and that's how we get to be in contact with God, it's through our spirit, Romans 8:16. Many of us are so canal that we live so much in the flesh that we fail to know that we are a spirit being and as a result of this, we can't detect when God is speaking to us. 

2 corinthians 5:17 talks about our recreated spirit, not our body. So when we hear from God it is through our created spirit. 1 Corinthians 14:1-4 speaking in tongues, regularly, gives us entrance through many spiritual realms. Since speaking tongue builds and edifies us, we should speak in tongues as often as possible.
  
Now the purpose of being led or hearing God's voice is for success and direction. The Holy Spirit is constantly speaking to our spirit in various ways, through God's word and through an audible voice, all of this is for our benefit. The bible talks about farming in the time of Isaac, God told him not to move and he heeded to God's direction and that led to him being successful. It takes faith to obey God's voice. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith we can not please God.
