How, you may be wondering, can an ordinary person like myself hear God’s voice? Both Scripture and experience suggest that God usually speaks in one of four ways or some combination thereof. 1) Through the Scriptures. 2) Through the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. 3) Through providential circumstances and/or wise counsel. 4) Through special spiritual manifestations such as dreams and visions. Of this one thing you may be sure, God does speak, but it is up to us to discern His voice.
“During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.”
— Acts 16:9-10
Lord Jesus, help us to recognize Your voice however it comes to us. In Your Holy name we pray. Amen.
