CHAPTER TWO: WHERE CAN WE HEAR FROM GOD?

HEARING FROM GOD AND LIVING HIS WILL

Due to the quest to hear from God, many people have gone into the paths of darkness and Satan begins to have deep fellowship with them consciously and unconsciously. There are those people who sought the voice of God in good conscience but because they lacked spiritual guidance they delved into divination and sorcery.

This is mostly the heart problem, there must be a right motive to enable us find the right voice. If the motive is wrong, evil and wicked we will most likely find the way of Satan and think it is God that is working.

God did not make anything to be his mediator, he mediates for Himself. Jesus Christ is the mediator so there is no created thing made for the purpose of speaking for God. In the garden of Eden, God comes down to speak to Adam and Eve. Today, many people use mediums trying to reach God but they fail to understand that the right channel takes you to the desired destination. Wrong channels will never get you desired destination.

Inquiring from manmade objects or naturally created things are wrong ways to reach God. We may say that they work but remember that they work does not give them divine approval and it does not mean that God is actually working through them.

If it is not God, it can never be God's voice or His will and purpose. It is time to bring out and remove all other tools and substances that we harbor around us as mediums to God or spirituality.

John 14:6, "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me".

We have the privilege to hear and speak to God directly without any means. He is approachable and He is very easy to reach more than other fake gods, this is the truth that Satan hides and does not want people to know it. Today, the truth is with you. Use it to your benefit and spread this truth that God is easy to reach and approachable

Ephesians 1:17-19 "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe".

When Jesus Christ was to give His life for man through the death on the cross, He needed to prepare His disciples in order to keep them in faith. He had nothing to do this but promised them of the Holy Spirit. He called Him; the comforter so He is. To comfort them of the loss or death of Christ by replacing another form of Christ to them. John 14:16-17; "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you".

Notice that Prophet Eli didn't hear the voice and he was not at the position where the voice came but he knew that it was the voice of God. This is because when we become familiar with God's voice, we do not need to verify so much to be certain but we just know it that it is His voice. Just like hearing of the activities of a dear friend, you do not need to be there to know if he did those things but hearing about them, you can say if he did them or not.

Do not always dictate when, how or where to hear the voice of God, sometimes it does not work. One of the things that God hates, is when we want to be the boss or Master and make Him secondary in our lives. There are those who believe that God can only speak to them when they go to prayer mountains and camps but they do not know that the secrets of the kingdom of God and this world can be revealed in the bedroom like Samuel or in the bush like Moses while he was busy with animals. Even Jesus Christ, received divine visitation where animals are fed and kept; manger. You can be working and God decides to interrupt it, be still and listen.

Also we must master the voice and pattern(s) which God uses to speak to us individually.
