Listening To God

“He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.” Isaiah 50: 4b

From the beginning until now God is still speaking to His people. It is God’s desire to have a relationship with us and to have communication with us daily.

God desires every Child of His, listen to Him and walk with Him daily. “He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.” Isaiah 50: 4b. Many people often make poor decision and poor choices in life because they lean on their own understand and fail to listen to what God is saying to them. A lot of damage can take place in life if we didn’t listen to God and obey the voice of God.

God speaks to us in our Spirit. We have to listen to Him through our spirit. God is Spirit and through the Holy Spirit, who lives in us God conveys His message to us. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in us. This is the reason, why it’s so important for us to take care of our spirit. If our spirit is not in tune with God’s Spirit, it will hinder us from connecting to God. The moment we are disconnected with God, we will never be able to hear Him clearly.

We also must learn to Listen to God by understand how He speaks to us. God speaks to us through the Bible, dreams, vision, people, and situation. However, primarily God speaks through His Word, the Bible. Bible is a manual or instruction book given to us to live a life according to His ways. If we never make Bible reading as our lifestyle, we are going to miss what God is saying to us. Bible reading should be a priority in every believer’s life. Read your Bible, if you want to listen God speaks to you.

Besides that our attitude must be right. If we want to learn to listen to God, we must be able to do whatever He is going to say. When God speaks, we can’t harden our heart and disobey Him. Why must God speak to those who do not want to listen to His instruction? My Friend, God’s objective is for us to listen to Him, so that we will do the best decision in life and enjoy all the blessings that He had installed for us. Being able to listen God speaks is a way of life.

A prayerful life is equally important if we desire to hear God speak to us. Prayer is a powerful tool God has given us to be in His presence and be connected to Him. In my own life, during prayer time I received revelations, visions and impressions that God impressed in my spirit. Dearest, there is no shortcut learning to listen to God’s voice. We must do what we should do. Prayer should be our lifestyle…
