I want to start today with the 1st part of a series of blogs that I want to share with all of you on hearing the voice of God. My goal is to make hearing the voice of God as simple as possible for everyone. Remember, this is why Jesus came to the earth. He came to restore our relationship with the Father. My prayer is that these blogs not only help you in hearing the voice of God but may His voice begin to transform you from within. 

We need to stop wishing we could hear God as few others do. Stop wishful thinking and start realizing that you were born to hear the voice of your Father! There was a time when we could not hear Him because we were separated from Him. Jesus not only removed that separation but restored our relationship with the Father. Like a mother holding onto her baby, our Father loves to hold us in His arms. We were created to feel His loving embrace. He loves speaking to His children. The reason He loves to speak to us is that He wants to teach us and raise us as His sons and daughters. Why? To be able to represent and reveal our Heavenly Father as Jesus did on the earth. Hearing God starts with faith. If you don’t believe that God loves to talk to you, it will become impossible to hear Him. Before I give you 3 easy ways to hearing the voice of God, I want us to do something. 

Now, remember, it is the Holy Spirit who hears the Father’s voice and speaks to us. Holy Spirit is a person. He must become your best friend. I would highly recommend anyone who has not read “Welcome Holy Spirit” by Benny Hinn to read it. I have been very blessed by that book. 

Now let us start talking to the Holy Spirit because He is your best friend. Oh, I cannot explain how excited He is right now to talk to you. Now begin to speak to Him in your mind. Close your eyes and say, “Hello Holy Spirit, how are You”? 

What did you hear? Did you just hear “Hello, I’m fine, how are You”? Congratulations!! “BELIEVE” that He is talking to you. 

Let’s do this now. Say, “Holy Spirit, what are You thinking right now”? 

What did you hear? Did you just hear, “I’m thinking about you”? Or it could be anything else. It is a thought! You speak to Him in your thoughts and He responds to you in the same way! Stop doubting and start believing right now. You see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Don’t let doubt enter in by thinking “Aaah that was just me”, “oh that was just me talking to myself”. Stop doubting! My dear friends whom I love with all my heart, we must realize how much our Father is longing for this relationship, to speak to us regularly and teach us. 

This is where we all start, this is how I started. By faith! And I continue to believe with all my heart He loves to talk to me. 

One of the primary ways of hearing the voice of God is through our thoughts. It is a flow of thoughts. Let me give you 3 easy ways of hearing the voice of God. I want you to follow these instructions for the next 7 days, till I release my next blog on the series of hearing the voice of God. It is not a task but a delight to hear from our Father. If you do this for the next 7 days, you will notice how sensitive you will become towards His voice and you will love it. Please keep a notebook and a pen ready now, let us do this together! 

1. Believe He is in you and give Him your attention. Give your thoughts to Him and adore Him. As you worship Him in your heart, your mind will begin to calm down. (If you do, it is helpful to pray in other tongues or could be in words).

2. Take your notebook, and write what you want to ask God. Let me help you once. Write, “Hey Father, what do you think about me? I want to know”. Once you write this, I want you to close your eyes and say, “thank you Father that as I write, You will speak to me”.

3. Begin to write down your thoughts. Don’t stop to think. Keep writing. Remember it is a flow of thoughts; it is a river that flows. So keep writing till the flow of thoughts end, and then stop. 

This is known as two-way journaling. You ask Him a question and then by faith begin to answer. Yes, there are various ways to hearing the voice of God but let’s start with this one today. Continue doing this for a week and see how your life will be transformed. Read what you write. You will be amazed! Don’t be afraid to ask tough questions. Our Father is not afraid of our questions; He loves to talk to us. 

My goal with these blogs is to raise a prophetic community who not only hear God for themselves but also others. I want to make hearing the voice of God a delight for everyone! Please feel free to write to me with your questions, or doubts and I would love to answer. 

I will be thankful to you if you can share these blogs on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
