About hearing HIS voice…
Many are rising up as ones who may be a prophet or are prophetic because there has been a tremendous release into this realm.
WHY? To reveal the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. To CHANGE the earth to be more like heaven! But first, people have to have an understanding of Who our God is and what He is like. The MAIN question everyone asks…is, “ Can I hear His voice?” The answer is YES!
ALL were meant to hear Him! ALL! NOT just prophets! Prophets help lead people into revelatory understanding and activation. Prophesy is for anyone and everyone who desires it, just ask for the Lord to give you the gift of prophesy. I Corinthians 14:1 says, “Run after love and be zealous for the gifts of The Spirit, but especially that you may prophesy”.
You must know what voices you listen to in order to know what His voice sounds like. Faith plays a major role in this as well. If you have no faith in hearing Him, you won’t …though HE IS SPEAKING TO YOU!
Little faith doesn’t keep Him from trying to communicate WITH you! Your faith can and will grow as you grow spiritually!
The same way you believe He is Who He is, you believe He is speaking to you and you can hear Him. It is a intentional determination to your heart, (mind will and emotions) that you will hear Him. At the same time, you are dealing with supernatural realms and many try the new age for the very same reasons and it is NOT the “Way”. JESUS IS the WAY! If you read the Word you read “JESUS” if the “WORD” (JESUS) is IN you …then the WAY is in you to be able to hear Him and Holy Spirit will speak to you on His behalf.
Your mind is a major part of this and is why it MUST be renewed or else you will get false readings from it (see Romans 12:1-2). Meaning: if you do not wash it with the truth you will hear what you want to hear instead of what the Lord is saying to you. Your filter is where things can get skewed if not purified. This is why getting clean, deliverance and inner healing, healing is SO important! His voice will get more clear the more time you spend with Him.
There are only a few voices that speak to your mind:
1.) Your own thoughts or logic guided by your “emotions”
2.) The enemy who most often speaks in first person
3.) Other people’s voices you recall
4.) The Spirit of God (HIS voice)!
How do you know which is speaking? This is not as hard as you may think.
If you deliberately take your thoughts captive to Jesus and silence your mind, will and emotions IN Jesus name, binding your mind to the mind of Christ (in faith), then command all voices of the enemy to be silent IN Jesus name….the only one left is to hear the Lord.
The same as you hear your own thoughts; that is the very place He most often speaks to us, the still small voice.
His Word, a picture, song, sign will often confirm just what you have heard because HE so desires to communicate with us He makes sure we know it is Him. So we can learn HIS voice over others! He will meet you and speak to you because the Father…LOVES YOU!
Blessings and Shalom to each of you!
