Hearing God’s Voice

God Still Speaks

 

 

He wants to build a relationship with you

 

God desires a relationship with His children, and communication is an important part of any relationship. While God primarily speaks through His Word, He may also speak through the Holy Spirit, dreams, convictions, circumstances, and godly counsel. Learning to hear God’s voice begins with spending time with Him and becoming familiar with His character.

 

 

 

How to hear Him

 

Learning to hear God’s voice begins with spending time with Him. God primarily speaks through His Word, so the more familiar you become with Scripture, the easier it is to recognize His voice and leading.

  • Read and meditate on God’s Word daily.
  • Spend time with Him in prayer.
  • Be still and learn to listen.
  • Pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s conviction and guidance.
  • Test what you hear against Scripture.

The more time you spend with God, the more you will learn to recognize His voice and distinguish it from your own thoughts, feelings, and outside influences.

    How to hear Him

    As you learn to hear God’s voice, it is important to remember that God will never contradict His Word. Any thought, impression, dream, or message that goes against Scripture should be rejected. God’s voice is consistent with His character, His truth, and His Word. This is why spending time in Scripture is so important. The more familiar you become with God’s Word, the easier it becomes to recognize His voice and discern what is not from Him.
