When we want to hear the voice of Godthe most, it's often because we're worried, scared, or stressed out.
When we need help, we try to listen for God's voice.
God always wants to hear from us and talk to us. This is good news. Too often, people miss out on hearing God's messages because they only ask for His help when they're in trouble or have to make a big choice.
Then, because people want to hear from God so badly, they get confused and angry when they can't understand what they should do.
Here are some ways we can hear God's voice and know it when we do.
The first step to hearing God is recognizing his voice. You didn't immediately identify your parents' sounds as a child. Once you did, their voices were easy to identify, and their absence made you smile, laugh, and grieve. The more we talk to God, the clearer his voice becomes.
"Faith comes from hearing, and hearing comes through the word of Christ," Paul writes in Romans (10:17). We read and hear God's word in the Bible when we orient ourselves.
Since God is honest, he will never contradict himself. The greatest way to start hearing God's voice is to read your bible, pray, and listen.
We can know that God speaks in many different ways if we spend time with Him and read His Word. Let's take a look at a few of the more common ones:
We know that reading the Bible is the first step in getting to know God. It is also the main way that God speaks to us. Every part of the Bible is there to help us understand things when we need to.
God speaks when we pray. When you pray, you're telling God you want to talk, making it an important form of communication. He'll talk when asked. It could be a concept, image, or intense emotion. Prayer is essential to hearing God's voice.
God mostly talks via humans in the Bible. Monarchs, prophets, priests, and shepherds spoke for God. Despite its differences, it was always for his loved ones (whether they thought so or not). Since God created humans for friendship, he should promote and support them.
God talks to us through things like mountains, rivers, and trees that are part of the natural world. The pictures and poetry in the Psalms, some of which were written by God himself, give us several chances to see this pattern. Since we know that God called everything he made "good" at the beginning of creation, it makes sense that he can talk to us through the things he made.
An opened Bible placed on a rock with the woods blurred out in the background Practice is necessary now that we are aware that we are able to identify God's voice and comprehend some of the methods in which he communicates with us. The more practice you get, especially when it comes to communication, the better off you will be. There is always room for improvement.
People sometimes say, "Well, God doesn't talk to me." But here's an important fact: God talks to you even if you don't feel like He does. He's talking to you right now, in fact. But if you aren't looking for Him to talk to you, you haven't even turned on the receiver.
We communicate differently than God does. After getting knowledge from your spirit, your spirit sends it to your mind. It resembles an idea or environmental pushing. One must have a deep relationship with God and often practice hearing God's voice to hear it faster and clearer.
We often miss His frequency because we're listening for a profound revelation when He's giving us simple instructions. He will accomplish that when you first start communicating with Him and throughout your earthly life. Obedience, even in small situations, shows your willingness, thus God values it. If we do all of the above, we will be able to recognize God's voice. If the Lord's voice is saying something hard to hear, confusion could be a way to hide denial. If you pray, study, and hang out with other Christians on a regular basis, you start to hear the voice of the Father. "My sheep know me and follow me because they hear my voice" (John 10:27).
