WAYS TO KNOW IF IT'S GOD'S VOICE - Thoughts from our own minds are progressive, with one thought leading to the next. Thoughts from the spirit world are spontaneous. True words from the Lord will bubble up from our innermost being. God will never say something to you personally that is contrary to His universal revelation as expressed in the Scriptures. Anything God says to you will be in harmony with His essential nature. Words from the Lord will quicken your faith and increase your love, peace and joy - they will stimulate a sense of humility within you as you become more aware of who God is and who you are - Being still before God is a key to hearing Him speak. It can be hard to differentiate between the voice of God and our own thoughts. Thoughts from our own minds are progressive, with one thought leading to the next, however tangentially. Thoughts from the spirit world are spontaneous. True words from the Lord will bubble up from our innermost being; we don't need to cook them up ourselves God will never say something to you personally that is contrary to His universal revelation as expressed in the Scriptures.

Nothing will increase your faith in your ability to hear from God like having it confirmed by two or three other people!

5 Ways to Know if It's God's Voice
Thoughts from our own minds are progressive, with one thought leading to the next. Thoughts from the spirit world are spontaneous. True words from the Lord will bubble up from our innermost being. God will never say something to you personally that is contrary to His universal revelation as expressed in the Scriptures. Anything God says to you will be in harmony with His essential nature. Words from the Lord will quicken your faith and increase your love, peace and joy - they will stimulate a sense of humility within you as you become more aware of who God is and who you are
Mark Virkler 



It can be hard to differentiate between the voice of God and our own thoughts. Here are five key tests to help you recognize which is which.
1)    Test the origin (1 John 4:1). Thoughts from our own minds are progressive, with one thought leading to the next, however tangentially.
     Thoughts from the spirit world are spontaneous.
     The Hebrew word for true prophecy is naba, which literally means "to bubble up," whereas false prophecy is ziyd, meaning "to boil up."
     True words from the Lord will bubble up from our innermost being; we don't need to cook them up ourselves
2)    Compare it to biblical principles. God will never say something to you personally that is contrary to His universal revelation as expressed in the Scriptures.
    If the Bible clearly states that something is a sin, no amount of journaling can make it right.
     Much of what you journal about will not be specifically addressed in the Bible, however, so an understanding of biblical principles is also needed.
3)    Compare it to the names and character of God as revealed in the Bible. 
     Anything God says to you will be in harmony with His essential nature.
     Journaling will help you get to know God personally, but knowing what the Bible says about Him will help you discern what words are from Him.
     Make sure the tenor of your journaling lines up with the character of God as described in the Names of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
4)    Test the fruit (Matthew 7:15-20). What effect does what you are hearing have on your soul and your spirit?
     Words from the Lord will quicken your faith and increase your love, peace and joy.
     They will stimulate a sense of humility within you as you become more aware of who God is and who you are.
     On the other hand, any words you receive that elicit fear or doubt, that bring you into confusion or anxiety or that stroke your ego (especially if you hear something that is "just for you alone — no one else is worthy") must be immediately rebuked and rejected as lies of the enemy.
5)    Share it with your spiritual counselors (Proverbs 11:14). We are members of the body of Christ.
    We weren't designed or called to walk alone. Nothing will increase your faith in your ability to hear from God like having it confirmed by two or three other people!
     Share what you've heard with your spouse, your parents, your friends, your elder, your group leader or even your grown children.
     They don't need to be perfect or super-spiritual to be your sounding board; they just need to love you, be committed to being available to you, have a solid biblical orientation and, most important, they must also willingly and easily receive counsel.
     Avoid the authoritarian who insists that because of their standing in the church or with God, they no longer need to listen to others.
     Find two or three people and let them confirm that you are hearing from God.

Mark and Patti Virkler have been married and active in ministry since 1972. Both received their Bachelor degrees from Roberts Wesleyan College and have also earned Master and Doctoral degrees. Together they have co-authored over 60 revelation based books in the areas of hearing God's voice and Spirit-anointed living.

Rivers will exceed their boundaries to demonstrate My goodness and overflowing abundance.
"After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth." - Hosea 6:2-3

IAM making a way of escape that will deliver you from the yoke of iron upon your necks, so that the depths of sin's waters will not sink you, take you down or drown you. 
"And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever."
"Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
“The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.
"They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

“Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you take away the yoke from your midst; the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.
“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
“Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In." - Isaiah 58:6-12
Dive Deep
Humble yourself and repent so the weighted scales that you have carried, as armor will fall away.

Dive deep into My Word to renew your mind to think higher thoughts and move in My higher ways.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9
Journey upon the waves of My Spirit, flow with My visionary plans to prosper you in this hour.
"I will visit you and perform My good Word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive." - Jeremiah 29:10-14
When you are renewed and transformed My River will cause you to rest in My presence, floating freely as I buoy you up to gently carry you to a new destination.
I have created you to be a brilliant star that shines My light on the higher path.
"The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." - Isaiah 60:3
Allow Me to light you up with a radiant vision that will draw kings to the radiance of your rising.
"And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." - 2 Peter 1:19
Open up your heart to receive the fullness of My overflowing blessings.
"If you love Me, keep My commandments." - John 14:15

"For you can be confident of this very thing, that I who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." - Philippians 1:6
The promises I have spoken are now unfolding to reawaken your dreams.
My Spirit has come upon you in a fresh way. Let My love fill, overtake and surround you.
Then pour out My goodness on the fertile souls who are waiting to hear the good news of the gospel.
Let My glory fill the temple of your bodies' house so that the world can see My power and My presence living in and through you.
Look to see what I have done sip, and savor the new wine of My presence, acknowledge and respond to My goodness, value My worthiness with praise, adoration and worship.
Look up and see the Lion of Judah who is fighting your battles for you.
Boast in and give thanks for My saving, healing, and delivering power.
Let the breath of My Spirit fill you to empower you to ride the crest of every wave.
Joyfully master the new opportunities that will position you to be a leader on the cutting edge of kingdom success.

ASK HIM AGAIN - The Power of Persistent Prayer - I felt like Jesus gave me the permission to keep on asking - He even encouraged me to come to Him over and over. He reassured me that my asking wasn’t out of worry - it wasn’t even out of disbelief - to ask Him one more time - to believe He is capable of doing what I asked or BETTER. Ask Him again - for Him to do all you ask or BETTER. The Lord knows what is best for you. When we continue to ask, we remain in relationship with the One who CAN and WILL provide - we remain dependent on the One who is sovereign over all things. We remain in connection with the Well that never runs dry. So, keep on asking - keep on believing that He loves when you ask Him again - I have a mental list of things that I pray through every day: I will pray for my future husband (and for him to HURRY UP!), pray for my family, pray for my brother who is a recovering alcoholic, pray for finances and provisions to come through, pray for more connectedness with Him, and the list goes on and on. Every single day, I start at the top of my mental list and I make my way through the same old requests. If a certain one of those requests is at the forefront of my mind, I may pray about it multiple times throughout my day. So, here I am, doing my daily thing, talking to the Lord about the same old requests I had probably talked to Him about 25 times already that day. Gracious. He is so kind and so patient with me!

Inspiration from Scripture





Do you ever feel like you are asking God for the same things again and again?
The Power of Persistent PrayerDoes anyone else have that running list of requests that you pray through EVERY SINGLE DAY?
No, just me? Cool. Well, I do.
I have a mental list of things that I pray through every day: I will pray for my future husband (and for him to HURRY UP!), pray for my family, pray for my brother who is a recovering alcoholic, pray for finances and provisions to come through, pray for more connectedness with Him, and the list goes on and on.
Every single day, I start at the top of my mental list and I make my way through the same old requests.
If a certain one of those requests is at the forefront of my mind, I may pray about it multiple times throughout my day.
The Power of Persistent Prayer – CCIC San Jose (English)So, here I am, doing my daily thing, talking to the Lord about the same old requests I had probably talked to Him about 25 times already that day.
I remember saying to Him, “Do you ever get tired of me asking You for the same things ALL of the time?”
Almost immediately, He responded saying, “Ask Me again.”
Now, y’all, I’m going to be really transparent and say that I can be a little bit of a sarcastic, smart aleck sometimes; and unfortunately, this instance was no exception.
I spouted back at the Lord and said, “Um… were you busy on the other line? Or were you not listening to the question I just asked you?”
He so kindly answered, “No, I meant ask Me again for the finances, for the provisions, for your brother to walk in complete freedom, for a closeness to Me unlike anything you’ve known before. Ask Me again.”
Gracious. He is so kind and so patient with me!
Three Keys To Answered Prayer | CBN.comI grew up thinking that if I continued to ask Him for things, it would seem as if I was praying out of my worry, or that I didn’t believe He could do what I had already asked of Him once before.
But in that moment, I felt like Jesus gave me the permission to keep on asking.
In fact, He even encouraged me to do so – to come to Him over and over, even if that meant for the 26th time that day.
He reassured me that my asking wasn’t out of worry; it wasn’t even out of disbelief.
It was out of a desire to continue coming to the Well that never runs dry.
To ask Him one more time.
NATIONAL PRAYER ROOM | The Power of Persistent Prayer - NATIONAL ...To believe He is capable of doing what I asked or BETTER.
Matthew 7:7 NLT says, “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.”
John 16:24 NLT says, “Ask, using My Name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.”
1 John 5:14-15 NLT says, “And we are confident that He hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him. And since we know He hears us when we make our requests, we also know that He will give us what we ask for.”
These Scriptures confirmed for me what I felt the Lord had spoken over me that day. Keep on asking.
So, if you are anything like me and you feel like you have already asked one too many times, I encourage you to ask Him again.
Ask Him again for that need to be met and that child to come home.
For wisdom, understanding, and a connectedness with Him.
For Him to do all you ask or BETTER, because ultimately, the Lord knows what is best for you.
When we continue to ask, we remain in relationship with the One who CAN and WILL provide.
We remain dependent on the One who is sovereign over all things. We remain in connection with the Well that never runs dry.
So, keep on asking, friends!
Keep on believing that He does like it says in Romans 8:28 NLT, “work everything together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for Him.”
Keep on believing that He loves when you ask Him again.
