Recognizing the Divine Voice: How God Communicates With His Children

and we , all of them , will see that he is speaking to us constantly . And the book of Job , after he has complained that God has been silent . Job , friends , Elijah , he says God speak again and again , though people do not recognize it . He speaks in dreams and visions of the night .

When deep sleep falls on people as they lie in bed , he whispers and terrifies them with His warning . He causes them to change their minds , he keeps them from weight Job 32 , 33" 14 , down to 16 , to 17 . So learning to hear the words of God and knowing how he speaks is essential for all believers .

And Jesus said in John 10: 27- 28 , my ships hear my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish . Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand . Those who hear God's voice are those who belong to him , those who have been saved by his grace , through faith and the love of Jesus .

These are the sheep who hear and recognize God's voice . We must belong to him . Only our God can speak to us . All the other gods of the nations are just idols . They are dead . They have no life . They are simply made up from man's imagination . So Elisha and the Baal prophets is a classic example .

When you read , for example , when you read 1 Kings 18: 16- 48 . Why does that speak to us ? Because we are sons . Now we are sons of God . A good father will always speak to his children because he does not want us to be ignorant of his instructions .

So he gives us his word and his heart is filled Because he loves us, for Christ , so loved the church that he gave himself for it . And how does God speak ? God speaks through His Word . The number one way of healing God is through His Word . All other ways are subject to His Word . In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God

, and the Word was God , according to John 1: 1 . Our scriptures is God's breath and is useful for teaching , correcting and training in righteousness . In 2 Timothy 3: 16 , we read the scriptures . If you want to heal God , we study and meditate on His Word . We should test every other way by his word . There's a country with the Bible .

If not me , it's not God . The second way that God speaks to us is through his ministry .

In Ephesians 4: 11- 12 , the Bible says he himself gave some to be apostles , some to be prophets , some evangelists and some pastors and teachers for the keeping of distance . Ministry gifts are put in the body to bring God's word and God's way to God's people . To supplement personal study and prayer , God also speaks by his spirit .

Hearing the voice of God is as natural as an idea that comes into your mind . In fact , that's often exactly how he speaks . That's often exactly how he speaks . A thought occurs to you , something you've never thought of before , and it leads you to some kind of action that either answers a prayer or helps someone who is in trouble .

God speaks to us in the natural moments of life . In John 14: 26 , the scripture says but the Counselor , the Holy Spirit , whom the Father in my name , will teach you all things and remind you of all I have said to you . So God speaks to others by prophecy . Prophecy is not coffin , what God has already said . It is always subject to the Word of God .

Isaiah 50: 40, 5 Says the Lord , God has given me the time of the land that I should know how to speak a word and season to him . That's weary . But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort me 1 Corinthians 14: 3 . His eyes speak edification and exhortation and comfort me 1 Corinthians 14:3 . God speaks equally through dreams and visions .

God speaks to us through our dreams In Joel 2: 28 . The Bible says your sons and your daughters shall

prophesize , your old men shall dream and your young shall see visions . For example , when you consider the case of Joseph Joseph sun , moon and five Stars falling down to him , ships interpreting other people's dreams , flowers and his chief broker and baker , Genesis 36: 7- 11 .

The scripture says in this passage there we were biding shifts in the field , shift , I shift the walls and also stood up white . And indeed the shift stood all the way down and bound down my shift . And his ruler said to him shall you indeed win over us or shall you indeed have dominion over us ? So they hated him even more for his dreams , for his works .

Then he dreamed still another dream . He told it to his brothers and said Look , I have dreamed another dream and this time the sun , the moon and the 11 stars bowed down to me . So he told it to his father and his brothers and his father . He put him and said to him , but his father kept the matter in mind .

You can also consider the chief butler's dream in Genesis 40: 9- 12 . Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar 3 , the metal statue visiting four world empires , in Daniel 3: 21- 45 . And Jesus talked in an audible voice . For example , 10 Commandments from Mount Sinai , Exodus 21 Exodus 20" 20 . The calling of Samuel In 1 Samuel 3 , verse 1 , down through verse 10 .

Soar on the world to Damascus , soar , soar . Why are you persecuting me ? Acts 9: 2 3-2 6 . And then he has to go to Saul to pray for him and recover his blindness . To pray for him and recover his blindness . Acts 9: 10- 18 . So God speaks face to face . For example , Moses on the mountain in the tent with Abraham

and Genesis 18 . God speaks in a small voice . Elijah in the cave in 1 Kings 19: 11- 12 . And and he said go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord and behold , the Lord passed by and a great and a great and strong and strong wind went the mountains and increased the works before , before the Lord , but the Lord was not .

And they went and they went and they went , and after the web and after it , but the Lord was not in the earthquake . After the earthquake , a fire . But the Lord was not in the fire . And after the fire there was still a small voice . God speaks through angels to Mary about giving birth to the Messiah .

An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph three times in a dream to make Mary his wife , to take his family on the flight to Egypt and then to return to Nazareth Matthew 1: 18 and Matthew 2: 23 . Angels announced the birth of Christ after his temptation . They were learned Matthew 4: 11 . They confronted Jesus and his agony in the Garden of Man Luke 22: 43 .

And they proclaimed his resurrection from the dead John 20: 12 . The Angel Gabriel appeared twice to Daniel Daniel 8: 16 , and Daniel 9: 21 . So God , speak through the that the Lord will not destroy the earth by water ever again . Genesis 9: 11- 17 . So God speaks many ways , different ways , to his children , like a father has to speak to his children .

God speaks to us constantly , every moment , every occasion . So we have to learn how to hear His voice . That is our Father

, how to know the voice of our Father . When we read the scriptures and meditate them , you will hear the voice of God , because that is our Father . The children have to listen to the voice of his Father and we are the children of God . We have to know the voice of God . May God bless you .
