Maybe you\u2019re hoping to hear from Him, but you don\u2019t want to get it wrong and make a bad move. Do you need to hear Him today about your finances, your children, your marriage or your health?<\/p>\n<p>There is good news\u2014God is speaking to you all the time. In fact, A.W. Tozer said, \u201cIt\u2019s the nature of God to speak.\u201d He wants to have fellowship with you, and He wants you to hear Him\u2014all the time.<\/p>\n<p>When you learn to tune in to God\u2019s voice, it won\u2019t be an occasional event but an everyday part of life. That\u2019s why, in the New Testament, Jesus said, \u201cHe who has ears to hear, let him hear,\u201d 15 different times.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn to hear God!<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re longing for certainty in your fellowship with God, here are four ways to know if you\u2019re hearing God\u2019s voice:<\/p>\n<p>1. Check Your Receiver<br \/>\n\u201cAnd you will seek for Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.\u201d \u2013Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV)<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever tried to watch television or listen to the radio without turning it on? Of course not! You already know that if you don\u2019t turn on the receiver, you\u2019re not going to hear a thing.

The one way to know if your spiritual receiver is turned on is to answer this question:<br \/>\nDo you expect to hear from God?<\/p>\n<p>Some people say, Well, God just doesn\u2019t talk to me. But, here is an important truth: even if you don\u2019t feel like God speaks to you\u2014He does. In fact, He\u2019s speaking to you right now. But, if you aren\u2019t expecting to hear from Him, you haven\u2019t even turned on the receiver!<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s be clear\u2014He isn\u2019t going to scream, yell and demand that you pay attention. He is always speaking to you, but He speaks in \u201ca still small voice\u201d (1 Kings 19:12, NKJV). So to hear Him, you have to tune in and listen carefully.

He communicates from His Spirit to your spirit, and then your spirit communicates what you hear to your mind. That is what we call an inward witness. It is very similar to a thought or a prompting. It\u2019s very subtle and requires a closeness with God and regular practice to hear it more quickly and clearly.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the more time you spend with the Lord and the more you practice tuning in to His voice, the more it will become a voice that \u201cthunders in marvelous ways\u201d (Job 37:5, NIV).<\/p>\n<p>Certainty in knowing that you are hearing God\u2019s voice comes to the person who is united with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17, NIV). United means \u201cjoined,\u201d or \u201cin union.\u201d It doesn\u2019t apply to someone who is not living for God. It applies to whomever seeks Him diligently, spends time fellowshiping with Him through prayer, and obeys the commands in His Word.<\/p>\n<p>A receiver who is intact and ready to tune in to the voice of God is one who is expecting to hear from Him, and is willing to learn to know His voice.<\/p>\n<p>2. Find His Frequency<br \/>\n\u201cThey know his voice\u201d \u2013John 10:4 (NKJV)<\/p>\n<p>There was once a time when you had to work to tune in to a program on the radio or television set. You had to find the right frequency. You never questioned if it was broadcasting\u2014you knew it was\u2014but you had to do your part to find the frequency and tune in.<br \/>\nHow do you locate the frequency God uses to speak to you?<\/p>\n<p>Most often, we miss His frequency because we\u2019re tuned in to hear some huge revelation; when, in fact, He is giving simple instructions. That\u2019s what He will do when you first begin to hear from Him\u2014and He will continue to do this for the rest of your life here on earth. Obedience in the simple things is very important to God\u2014it reveals the willingness of you heart.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re waiting for God to send you out to part the Red Sea, you may be missing what He\u2019s saying to you right now\u2014which might be to clean out your closet or stop watching certain television shows or spend more time with your children. He will talk to you about the small things in your life that you need to change\u2014adjustments you need to make. He will begin to deal with you where you are, which most often involves helping you walk in God\u2019s best by getting rid of things that are holding you back.<\/p>\n<p>God wants liberty and freedom for our lives, and that begins with training. He teaches us how to be led by the Spirit. But, if we disobey these promptings in the little things, we won\u2019t graduate to the bigger assignments. Sometimes, the small things He asks of us may seem unimportant, or involve giving up things we think we enjoy. But to reach a level of intimacy with God where we hear His voice and are launched us into new places in the spirit, obedience must become a non-negotiable in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Matthew 18 tells us to become like little children\u2014which means not to be high-minded and think we\u2019re all-knowing. To find God\u2019s frequency, you must be willing to hear His voice in the small things.<\/p>\n<p>3. Learn to Discern His Voice<br \/>\n\u201cMy sheep hear my voice.\u201d \u2013John 10:27 (KJV)<\/p>\n<p>If your spouse or closest friend calls you on the telephone, do you know it\u2019s them before they tell you? Most likely you do! But how? Because you\u2019ve spent so much time with them, the sound of their voice and their way of saying things has become well-known to you\u2014easy to recognize.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true when it comes to our relationship with God.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to get to a place where you don\u2019t have to wonder whose voice you\u2019re hearing\u2014yours, the devil\u2019s or God\u2019s\u2014you need to spend time with the Lord. A lot of time. But, if you keep your mind and your heart full of the things of this world, it will be difficult for you to differentiate between the Spirit of God and your own thoughts. That is the definition of a carnal mind\u2014one that has not been renewed by the Word of God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>God has promised to lead His children by His Spirit and enable them to know His voice. That means you can learn to know exactly what the Spirit of God is saying to you about every situation. You don\u2019t have to go through life blindly making decisions or relying on your own abilities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>challenges, do you ever wonder if you\u2019re hearing God\u2019s voice, or if it\u2019s just your own voice?
