Greetings!

Lately, I have been meditating on how we hear God’s voice. I have heard people say that they sometimes struggle with whether they are hearing from God or just hearing their own voices. God’s way of speaking to us is unique to us. We don’t ever have to doubt who we are hearing from, because when God wants to get a word to us, He will speak to us in a way that we will understand…in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Stay close to God’s word. That’s the only way we are going to know His voice. God’s word says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” I think many times we doubt what we hear because the Holy Spirit is trying to lead us out of our comfort zones, and that because it’s a new experience…we doubt.

As children of God, He needs us to be His representatives in the earth. We have to be able to speak for Him, and to carry His message of salvation to the lost, but if our enemy (Satan) can keep us focused on whether we are hearing God or not, then he has won. He wants to shut down our witness, so he definitely wants to keep us doubting what we hear…and who we are hearing. The only way to combat that is to make sure that we have more of the word in us than the world in us.

One of the things I have learned in this walk with God is that we can expect the unexpected. As soon as we get to a place we feel is comfortable, we can expect to be moved. God doesn’t do that to hurt us, but rather to help us. He wants us to depend on Him…not only in the things we can’t handle, but in e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.  

Trust God…He knows when you are struggling, and He knows when you need to hear from Him. Don’t let the enemy steal your joy and peace. God is still in control.

Until next time…

Be blessed!
