5 Ways That God Can Speak To You

1. THE WRITTEN:

The first voice of God revealed to us is the word of God. Certain verses begin to jump out almost in direct response to what you need to hear at that moment. This happened to me when I had a friend who God told me to clearly stop visiting and confirmed it using Proverbs 4-6 – it’s one way the Lord speaks to us.

Imagine God is driving to your house and He wants to enter your gate. The word of God is the “gateman” that opens the gate to allow His voice to you come in. Revelation 19:13 “…and His name is called the word of God”.

2. THE NUDGE

Impressions and nudges – this is how God often speaks to me. His leading is often a soft prompting or a compelling force. Paul described it as “necessity is laid upon me”. This feels like a knowing that you have to do something. It often feels like a little burden. Or a heavy one too.

“For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upone” 1 Cor 9:16

Enemies experienced the Spirit of God literally compelling him and so can we.
“While the voice was speaking, God’s spirit entered me and raided me to my feet, then the Lord said… ” Ezekiel 2:2

3. THE VOICE OF COUNSELORS

Emotions could spiritual judgment. When we are in love, it is easy to hear “Arise, my child fir this is thy husband whom I have sent”, when it’s really not. Seeking counsel from trusted seniors in the faith will often help to confirm the voice of God most especially when emotions are high.

Someone messaged me about Christian memtors disappointing them: You’re not going to find a perfect mentor – everybody is learning, growing and nobody is beyond making an error. Give them some grve too as “treasures in earthen vessels” 2 Cor 4:7

Prov 11:14 “Where no counsel is, the people fail: but in the multitude of (wise and godly) counselors, there is safety”.

4. VISIONS

This one can be tricky because it takes discernment to recognise a dream or vision from God. Someone soaked in the word and spirit is more likely to discern correctly. Many people have been misled by a dream or vision they or someone else had.

“Let no one defraud you of freedom in Christ and your salvation… going into detail about visions (he claims) he has seen…” Col 2:18

Nevertheless, God speaks through visions whether during the day or at night as we sleep.
“Peter went to the rooftop to pray at around noon. He became hungry and wanted something to eat; whole three food was being prepared, he had a vision” Acts 10:9-10

5. THE AUDIBLE VOICE OF GOD

Most people don’t hear a voice but this could just happen to you!

“As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light fro. Heaven suddenly shone down around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,
“Saul Saul Why are you persecuting me?” Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do”.
The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one!” Acts 9:3 – 7
