Become Familiar With His Voice Have you ever been in a crowded place such as a shopping mall at Christmastime and heard the sound of someone you love calling out your name? Despite all the noise, Christmas music, and multitudes of busy shoppers, you recognized that familiar sound above everything else because it was someone you love. God seldom speaks to strangers who have no time for Him, and even if He did, they would not recognize His voice. He loves to speak to people who love Him and desire to live their lives in His presence. He draws near to those who, as an act of their will, have drawn near to Him (James 4:8). The more time we spend alone with Him seeking His face through prayer and worship, the easier it becomes to hear and immediately recognize His voice in our hearts. The greater our love for Him, the more finely tuned our ears will become to hear the sound of His voice. God does speak to His people by His Spirit. The challenge is in learning to hear and then having the determination, faith, and love to simply obey what He is saying. We can all hear the voice of God if we will learn to listen. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Rom. 8:14).

We hear Him best when we are silent and away from activity. God is always with us, as Christians, because He resides in us. We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Looking for answers? Pray about them; then, learn to listen for that soft voice of God coming from within you. He is always there because He promised: I will never leave you or forsake you. And after the earthquake a fire; but, the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 1 Kings 19:12 (KJV) (King James Version) Bob Akins Faith House Ministries Intl +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bob Akins Proclaiming Jesus Christ to the World Faith House Ministries International Apollo Beach Florida USA
