Can I Really Hear From God?

The answer is a profound YES! You can hear the voice of God.  John 10:27 let’s us know that it is the Shepard’s will for us to hear His voice. He predestined a plan for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11) and he knows the we are not capable of directing our own steps in that plan (Jeremiah 10:23).

If we are going about our day expecting God to shout something to us, we will probably be disappointed. Now I’m not saying that the voice of God cannot manifest audibly, but that is not usually how it happens. God’s voice comes to us via the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is a gentleman who speaks quietly, revealing the heart of God. I’ve heard it said that God is speaking more than we realize, but the reason we do not hear is because we are not listening.  We must be actively listening in order to hear.
