When People Say They Hear From God


When Christians say they hear from God, what do they mean? Most Christians when they say the Lord spoke to them don’t mean they actually heard His audible voice; although I believe God does allow us sometimes to hear His voice. Rather, they are saying the Lord has spoken, or communicated with them through their innermost being, allowing them a supernatural understanding of His will. Believers in Jesus Christ receive His Holy Spirit, and His Spirit dwells within our hearts, ever present to lead and guide us according to God’s will for us. The leading of His Holy Spirit in our lives (is) His voice to our spirit. This same Holy Spirit is our leader, our guide, as well as our teacher who directs our path in life according to the will of God.

God did not leave us alone to fend for ourselves. No, He gave us His “love letter,” “His Word" the Bible and He uses this to speak to us. There have been times when I have read a Bible verse and it seems as though it was written just for me for that particular time in my life. You can probably say the same thing. And, then there are those times when in church the pastor’s message touches you in a way unlike you’ve experienced before. These are some of those times when the Holy Spirit is “knocking on your door” so to speak. At times, God will speak to you when you’re doing something wrong, or He will give you confidence about something He wants you to do like praying for a friend or helping someone in need.

As Christians, we want to hear from God. We want to know He is in charge of our lives, and that He loves us enough to be involved in (all) we do. If you have trouble hearing God’s voice pray for the sensitivity of His Holy Spirit so you can be aware of all the ways in which He “speaks.” Always be alert to what He communicates to you, what you hear must agree with what His Word (Bible) says, or else it is not He who is speaking to you. Satan also wants to get your attention. He will attempt to speak to you as well. Remember the purpose of Satan in this world is to; steal, kill and destroy. Satan’s voice only brings trouble in your life, it robs God of His one true love; YOU.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

THIS IS A SPECIAL POSTING. PLEASE READ!

In addition to my daily message today, this is something very special I believe the Lord wants me to post right now! Help Me Overcome My Unbelief! As a Christian, I believe God loves me and wants the best for me. Certainly, in His Word (Psalm 103:3 NIV) the Psalmist wrote; Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who forgives all your (my) sins and heals all your (my) diseases, who redeems your (my) life from the pit…. I know this, really I do! Still, there are times when I don’t see God actually doing what I expect Him to do; to save me from my trouble; to provide me with what I want; and to provide the healing release I expect. Before I became a Christian I really had a problem with faith, much less be able to cling to any promises God made to me; regardless of whether I was a Christian or not! Therefore, I understand how we can have moments of unbelief, or we can just flat out not trust what God has promised us. This is Satan at work, big time !  “Get...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
