4 Keys to
Hearing God's Voice Daily
It was God's voice
that was speaking to me that night, calling me into His kingdom - His voice
came as a spontaneous thought inside my head. Christianity is unique among
religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator
beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity. We have lost the
ability to recognize His voice - too many believers are starved for that
intimate relationship that alone can satisfy the desire of their hearts
Communion with God
"My sheep hear My voice. . . ," - John 10:27
I tossed and turned
in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The thought kept going through my mind: "What if
I died tonight? I'm not ready to go to heaven."
Since I could not
shake the thought, I got up, went downstairs and waited for my parents to come
home from their meeting.
When they did, I
announced that I wanted to get saved, and that day I was led in the sinner's
prayer at 15 years of age.
It was God's voice
that was speaking to me that night, calling me into His kingdom.
His voice came as a
spontaneous thought inside my head.
However, I didn't
define this as the primary way God's voice is heard until I had completed a
desperate 10 year search to hear Him clearly.
Christianity is
unique among religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator
beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity.
Jesus declared, "This is eternal life — that they
may know God" (John 17:3, emphasis
added).
Unfortunately, many
in the church miss the great blessing of fellowship with our Lord because we
have lost the ability to recognize His voice.
Though John 10:27 promises us that "My sheep hear
My voice," too many believers are starved for that intimate
relationship that alone can satisfy the desire of their hearts.
I was one of those
sheep who was unable to identify the voice of my Shepherd.
I hungered for deeper
spiritual intimacy with God, but I couldn't find it.
Then on the 11th year of my Christian life, I had the
spontaneous thought that "I should take a year of my life and focus on
learning to hear God's voice."
I decided to act on
that thought and devote a year to focused effort, learning to hear His voice.
Unknown to me, it was
the Lord calling me to invest that time.
That year the Lord
revealed four simple keys which unlocked the treasure of His voice:
o stillness,
o vision,
o spontaneity and
o journaling.
I've devoted the last
30 years of my life to sharing this message with the world.
