LEARNING TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE


LEARNING TO HEAR HIS VOICE

                “If any man is willing to do His will, he shall know the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself. John 7:17

                “My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me.” John 10:276   

                I recently took a course called “Communion with God” in which we were taught how to hear God’s voice. I was skeptical at first, not understanding how such a thing could be taught, but as I got into the course I quickly realized that I had been operating in this way for several years now. I just didn’t know it, although I often sense the presence and anointing of the Lord helping me as I write.

                What I learned in this course is how to separate my own thoughts from the Lord’s thoughts in my spirit in such a way that we could actually hold a two way conversation. We as Christians need to understand that the Lord is speaking to us all of the time. He never stops speaking to us… and in fact the more we listen and obey His voice the more sensitive we become to it and the more we ignore it, the less sensitive we become.

                It is important for you to understand that I am not operating as a prophet. I am not directly quoting Jesus. I hear His voice just like you do and I have simply learned how to separate His thoughts from mine so that it comes out as a two way conversation rather than me just telling you what I think.

                In doing this I have learned many things and gained some surprising insights. So I hope and pray that you will be blessed by these conversations when I share them from time to time. We are heading into a very intense time in history when it has become vitally important to recognize the voice of the Shepherd and to follow Him through the many delusions that Satan is throwing in our path.

                I invite you, as always, to listen critically, making sure that I always speak according to God’s infallible Word. Everything must square with His Word or it is not of Him.

                Today I am sharing with you a conversation I had with the Lord in the early hours of February 22 and 23. I pray that you will be blessed.        The article to watch for is called “THE GREAT FALLING AWAY.”

CREATED TO BE KINGS AND PRIESTS

CREATED TO BE KINGS AND PRIESTS                 You will have to forgive me if I sound like I am repeating myself here, but I am going to go over a well- worn subject because the Lord has just taught me something that has put the whole thing together.                 I have mentioned numerous times over the years the triune nature of man. Mankind was created as a threefold being, body, soul and spirit. The tabernacle of Moses makes that very clear with its three sections. The outer court represents our physical body. The Holy Place represents our soul. (Our soul is made up of our natural mind, will and emotions.) And the third compartment, the Holy of Holies is our spirit and we can see from this that when the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us He doesn’t live in our body or our mind, but He dwells in our spirit. ...

GOD'S FIRE AND THE REMNANT FACTOR

GOD’S FIRE AND THE REMNANT FACTOR             God’s fire came down upon Mt. Sinai as if to consume the whole mountain and the people quaked and feared and made promises to God that whatever He said, they would do. But when all was said and done there were only two of the people that were there that day that lived to cross over into the Promised Land.             God’s fire fell in Elijah’s day and consumed the sacrifice and the people all said, “The Lord He is God.” But Elijah fled anyway, in spite of that mountain top experience. Ahab and Jezebel were still alive and in control and Elijah felt very much alone. This one was going to come back and bite him, he was quite sure.                         Elijah complained to God that he was the only one l...

HUMILITY

HUMILITY                 I think that sometimes in our Christian pride we approach God more like the Pharisee than like the Publican. I remember way back in the early years of the name it, claim it movement a man named Charles Capps wrote t book called “The King’s Kids.” In essence it taught that as King’s kids we deserve the best of everything. If we believe God for a Cadillac, we can have our Cadillac and so on.                 Well, I think those early attitudes have become more sophisticated these days, but the same sort of pride and arrogance still prevails. Where is the humility that once caused the Publican to say, “God be merciful to me a sinner?                 Perhaps if we started our prayers like that, then we would get off on a right footin...
