KNOWING THE VOICE OF GOD

Knowing the Voice of God

            Today we live in a natural world, in a natural flesh body. We also have a soul and spirit.

            Because we live in a natural world, in the flesh, we have the tendency to lean toward our five physical senses.

            What we see, hear, smell, touch and taste are the natural things we focus on most of the time. However this is the main reason Satan, the devil, can manipulate us. We are in his natural arena.

            Now is the time to move ahead and focus on the spirit man, which is inside of you, and the spirits way of thinking.

Doing this will put you over into Gods arena, and there you will have Gods thoughts, the way that God wants you to go, and Gods protection.

            Here is how you do that:

Keep Gods word in front of your eyes at all times. No matter what you think you see with your natural eyes, go to Gods word. See what he has to say about your situation.

            The same thing goes with what you hear; sometimes what we think we hear might not be what was actually said.

            There is a lot of difference between something truly stated and a statement of truth.

            John 8:32 says… and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. God’s word is the truth that sets you free.

            Sometimes people doubt Gods word, they say if I can’t see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or touch it probably isn’t there.

            That kind of thinking will only lead into deception. You can’t fight spiritual war thinking in the natural realm, or in a carnal mind set.

            Smell and taste have similar reactions, but on another level…there are a lot of times when God is speaking to us but we are not listening.

            There are a lot of times that God hears our cry but we haven’t trained our spiritual ears to hear him speak.

            Satan works in the natural, where as God works in the supernatural.

            The reason we are not hearing the voice of God is we stay in the natural arena of thinking and Satan blocks us from hearing from the supernatural way that God speaks to us.

            John 5:25 says… the hour is coming when even the dead in Christ will hear his voice and respond to it.

So if the dead can hear his voice and respond to it, surely we the living can train ourselves to recognize it… think about it, try it.

            Open up your heart to God, talk to him, meditate on his word, you might be surprised how close God is to you in your life.

            Read the word,
