My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10:27 (NASB)
Hearing God’s voice in our hearts, mind and soul comes from prayer, and openly surrendering to the Holy Spirit who WILL speak to us. One of many gifts and grace that the LORD gives us is the innate and inherent character of discerning the “voice of God.” You may ask, what does that mean in simple terms? Well, it can be described in three powerful words, “Peace, joy & love.”
In the Bible there are many places to solidify “the Voice of God” and the comprehension of the full impact of knowing Him, loving Him, and being completely convicted in the Spirit.
One such passage is from John. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
The Word is “God” and is with God, and has been since the beginning, and always shall be. “The flower may fade, the grass may wither, but the word of God shall stand forever…” (Isaiah 40:8)
Listening to the Word brings a cohesive formation of fine tuning in terms of belief, trust, and wisdom. The more we hear it, the more we ascend to higher realms, bringing us closer to Him, in our studies, our plans, and our mission to serve Him. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
We blossom with each verse, with each Word…we are then able to navigate through life in a way that those without faith cannot.
Hearing the His voice/word within our heart, body, mind and soul, we are able to relegate matters of discord in a fastidious way, that will never disturb us, instead will strengthen us by Christ.
We are able to reach the pathway of life that is available to those of us that “seek it.”
God is an Amazing God, now, tomorrow and always. He has the ability to save, set us free, and we can rejoice in Him forever! Amen!
“Father God, thank you for Your word, Your heart, Your love, for setting me free, saving me, and never failing me, or forsaking me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
O God, You, are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You, my flesh faints for You, in a dry and thirsty land with no water.
Psalm 63:1-5
