Have You Heard God?

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 
—John 10:27 

 

Do you hear God? John 10:27 says if you know Him, you can hear His voice. Hearing God is the key to living in faith, victory, and peace. Hearing Him brings perseverance and success in every area of your life. 

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit” (John 15:7-8). 

Abiding in Him can be compared to a continuous meditation on His Word, which the Holy Spirit quickens to your spirit. When His Word is quickened in you, it is referred to as “hearing” or “revelation knowledge.”

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”(Romans 10:17).

When you have truly heard from God, faith will come alive. No matter what the circumstances might be, you will be alive to God’s will, you will have vision, peace and perseverance. There may be obstacles that once seemed impossible to overcome, but a word from God makes them look small. Nothing can stop you. That word has unlatched an overcoming faith in you.

We must come to a place where God's Word is so real to us that it is God speaking directly to us. When we have a need, we go to the Father through His Word. We do not consider what we sense or experience but rather the promise of God. His promise cannot fail. 

The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; He will speak only what He hears from the Father (John 16:13). Believe His promise, speak His victory, and receive His provision. 

“God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill” (Numbers 23:19)?
