4 Biblical ways to hear the Voice of GOD today.
In the quietness of the night, I have often heard the still voice of God whispering my name. Sometimes He will point me to a Scripture to rebuke me of my unconfessed sins or comfort me about a hurtful incident.
I prefer to do the talking most times, but the Lord wants me to hush so that I can be obedient to His command.
I listen carefully to what God the LORD is saying, for he speaks peace to his faithful people. Psalm 85:8,NLT
Young Samuel recognized the voice of God calling unto Him in the middle of the night. He had never heard it before , but his reply “Speak Lord, they servant heareth” must be the very answer we must give to our Creator.
The following hymn written by Frances Ridley Havergal has caught my attention. This amazing hymn writer lived on this earth for only 42 years, but her vision to hear the voice of God is truly inspiring.
“Master, speak! Thy servant heareth,
Waiting for Thy gracious word,
Longing for Thy voice that cheereth;
Master! let it now be heard.
I am listening, Lord, for Thee:
What hast Thou to say to me?
What do we do when we hear two voices?
John 16:8 says that the Holy spirit will convict us of our sins and wrong choices while Satan will accuse and remind us of our unworthiness. (1 Timothy 4:13).
There are 4 important ways to hear the voice of God today.
I pray you are blessed and encouraged just as I was hearing the voice of God.
Until we meet again here ,

January 30, 2018 at 8:04 amWonderful post, Diana! I especially like anxiously awaiting. When we make room for Him, He shows up. When we want to meet with Him more than the UPS man carrying a delightful package, He shows up. Blessings, Diana!!

January 30, 2018 at 8:40 amI loved the words of that hymn. You are so right— often times in order to discern God’s voice, I have to be still and ask him to speak to me. What a great post!
Diana
January 30, 2018 at 9:46 amI love the lyrics of the hymn as well. Being still can be the hardest but once we get the rhythm it is the best gift to hear from our Lord . I am blessed by your visit today

I am currently seeking to hear God’s voice in my own life. Thank you for providing such great scripture’s to back up what his word says about this. You are spot on about discerning between the enemy’s voice and his voice.
