TO HEAR GOD INTRODUCTION One
of the greatest needs in this day of confusing voices, is to learn clearly to
hear God’s voice. The Scripture
says in II Thessalonians 2:3,9-11 that “deception” is one of the greatest
evidences of the last days! Just as
Satan deceived in the beginning of time so he shall deceive in the end times.
We desperately need to hear God! Jesus
said in John 8:26-29 “I speak those things which I have heard of
Him. I do nothing of myself; but as
my Father hath taught me, I speak these things; for I do always those things
that please him.” In John
15:15 Jesus said, “All things that I have heard of my Father I have
made known unto you.” MAIN
BODY I.
We Can Know God Still
Speaks To Us! A.
Concerning the Holy
Spirit, Jesus said in John 16:13, “When the Spirit of II.
We Can Still Hear The
Voice Of God! A.
Concerning hearing His
voice, Jesus said in John 10:3-4,14,16,27 “The sheep hear His
voice…He calleth His sheep by
name…His sheep know His voice… III.
We Can Distinguish
God’s Voice From Other Voices! A.
Too many of us are like
the men accompanying Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus in Acts
9:4,7;22:9 when they heard a voice they could not hear nor B.
Safe guards
that help us distinguish between God’s voice, our thoughts and Satan’s:
1.
If it goes against the
flesh it is probably God’s
voice and if it pleases the flesh, it is probably our thoughts, Satan’s or a
combination.
2.
Look for a
sense of peace and confirmation within your spirit. I Corinthians
14:33 “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” Mark
16:20 “The Lord confirms the word with signs following.” C.
Have you ever had a strong
impression about something? Heard
an inner voice? IV.
We Can Know The
Different Ways God Speaks To Us! A.
Through the Scripture-
Hebrews 4:12 “The word of God is quick, and powerfu B.

1.
Through angels-
2.
Through the witness within our spirit- J.
I John 5:6
“It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.”
Everything that we hear must be confirmed as a witness in our spirit as in Romans

children of God:” K.
Through being silent-
Psalms 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God.” L.

the disciples fell on their face and were sore afraid.” Example: “When was the last time you heard God say anything to you?” HE THAT HATH AN
EAR, LET HIM HEAR! Matthew 11:15
“Individuals” ; Revelation 2:7 “Churches”
