Hearing His Voice

God will speak to you but you must learn to listen. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, and they listen." Most Christians do not hear His voice and they do not listen. They are merely satisfied to believe in God and read the Bible when it suits them, picking and choosing what suits them and interpreting scripture to their own desire. Others are merely satisfied to listen to some preachers of their own choice. That is dangerous, as Jesus will say to most believers in that day:"Go away I never knew you."

His sheep follow Him. It is about the kingdom of God, not about our private agendas and our own desires. The Holy Spirit will guide us into knowledge of Christ, it will take from Him and reveal to us according to His will. Self seeking individuals will not listen to Jesus or accept guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sheep are not known for high IQ's and innovation but for trustingly following the shepherd. Only those who trust and follow like sheep will listen to His voice and get to know Him.

Those who are pure in heart, shall see God. Purity of heart means to be empty of self and own desires. A pure heart is set on the kingdom of God, not on self. A pure heart trusts Jesus unconditionally and will not doubt Him or His words when He speaks.

Seek His kingdom, seek Him with all your heart and you will hear Him. Spend time waiting on Him, quietly, patiently, expectantly. He will speak to you, in your spirit, things you have never heard or understood. If you doubt He will withdraw from you. What is your hurry? What is more important than being in His presence?
