My Take on Hearing the Voice of God

All of us have been guilty of listening to other people, or ourselves, before we hear what God has to say. Often what others have to say is easier for us to receive, so we tend to accept them readily as "God speaking to us through others". Then we go our merry way without really asking or waiting for God to speak directly to us.

Yes, yes, yes, He speaks spirit to spirit to all His creation. It is usually without the form of language. However, one way we can translate what He is saying Spiritually is by finding a similar situation in the Bible and reading what God desired concerning the same dilemma. When everything He says can be verified as having been already spoken to a Biblical prophet in the past, we can "know" it is God.

Please also note, nature, the mind and evil spiritual entities may also speak to you using words also found in the Bible. But they are twisted, fragmented and distorted to suit your desires. God speaks directly to your spiritual "need", evil speaks to your fleshly lusts and will confirm something contrary to the design of God. Evil speaks words to you that you can use for excuses for not doing the right thing. "Evil" is not always the devil. Evil can be your own thoughts, dogma and conclusions on any given subject.

God speaks words of love and encouragement that strengthen and gives one hope. I want to encourage everyone to take the time to listen for personal words of God coming in the "still small voice" (like the conscience)from deep within.

There are so many ways God delivers a message to us. Watch creation, read the Bible, listen to the teacher and preacher at church, listen to people talk and above all commune with Him alone where most of the words impact our spirit...ready to be translated, saturated in unconditional love and always proving to be "right" in the end.
