Everyone wants to heart it.
Honestly there is no other voice that can shake us so completely with love, grace, mercy and loving kindness.
John heard it as "the roar of many waters" Rev 1:15
The Psalmist hears it "twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, “Glory!” Psa 29:9
Are you starving for his voice?
Hungry to hear
the Father's heart?
Ps. 19
One who is full loathes honey from the comb, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.
Hungering to be near to the Lord, to lean in on him and connect deeply with him is all part of love. It is natural spiritual truth. To know Christ and his love is
the heart and soul of walking in the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:17-21
the heart and soul of walking in the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:17-21
Here are 5 places to listen if you are hungry for his voice!
There is a person called the Word. Spend time in the quiet closet of prayer with Jesus and listen. Abiding. Listening. Talking. Sharing your deepest heart desires. Worship, wait, rest, know him, receive revelation to your heart (Eph 3:17-19) He already knows every word that falls from your lips. Ps 139 Always leave room for him to speak to you. John 10:1-18; 16:12-14
2. The Scripture.
There is an amazing word spoken to us from the Holy Spirit that will remain forever. Get as much of that forever voice in you as is possible. All day find the word in your life. Read it. Listen to it. Meditate on it. Study it. Memorize it. Apply it's promises in faith. Walk in it's never ending reminders of the goodness of God. It is always his voice. II Tim 3:16
3. Listen to the Creation
Psalms 19 says creation is constantly speaking about the Lord's nature and character. Listen. Go out and watch the stats for an hour. Walk in the amazing wonders of this powerfully beautiful world. Get by a water fall or glide across a lake. It all speaks of his beauty and power. And while you are there he may speak to you directly.
4. Listen to his friends.
When you find people who love him in a way that inspires you to go farther and deeper into the vast love of God, listen to them. They tend to be walking daily in the way of the Spirit. They tend to be following righteousness. When you see Jesus in the lives of people around you get closer to those people. Fellowship with them in Jesus through the Spirit. Share the word between you and see amazing advance in heart, soul, mind, strength love for the Lord. Help each other through the tough spots. Pray together and encourage each other when things are tough and you want to turn back. Remember the past and the grip sin had on you. Celebrate Jesus together and testify of all the great things he has done for you. He speaks through his children. I Corinthians 14:1
5. Listen to his leaders.
There is so much noise today that undermines the trust in those who dedicate themselves by calling to encourage us in the walk after Jesus. The Lord calls people into serving him for the sake of his bride. He asks them to set aside their lives for you and I to prosper in our knowledge and love of Jesus. I know and have known so many amazing followers of Jesus who give up their lives daily for us to prosper in faith, hope and love. They are all over the planet serving him in love and laying down their lives. When you find those that resonate with the love of God and real devotion to Jesus, make a point of linking arms, joining together in walking and learning. If we welcome those Jesus has sent we receive the reward they carry. Matt 10:41 Yes. There are some bad apples out there. But we have the Spirit to guide us and alert us to them. John 16:12-14. Don't let the few wolves keep you away from the fullness of prospering in the Lord. Ephesians 4:11-13
