THE
VOICE OF GOD

There was a time when the
voice of the Lord was rare and there was no widespread revelation. (1 Samuel
chapter 3:1) A young boy named Samuel ministered before the Lord alongside of
the High priest Eli wearing a linen ephod. The Lord called out to Samuel one
day during the night three times but Samuel didn't recognize God's voice until
Eli perceived that it was the Lord calling him. He told Samuel to go and answer
him the next time that he calls. Samuel then went back, and the Lord called out
to him a fourth time. Samuel replied; "Speak, for Your servant
hears." He then recognized God's voice for the first time. Samuel grew up
as a great prophet and prophesied with accuracy and precision. The bible says
that none of his words fell to the ground, meaning that every prophetic word
that he spoke came to pass.
The Holy Spirit is
speaking to every believer today. He speaks in dreams and in visions of the
night. He speaks in the secret place, he speaks through nature, he speaks in
the desert, the wilderness and he even speaks in the lion’s den. In the New
Covenant that Jesus made with us, we don't have to be in the five fold ministry
or be a prophet to hear his voice. How much more should you be able to hear his
voice then the prophets of old because the same Spirit that raised Jesus from
the dead dwells in you and quickens your mortal body. Your body is the temple
of the Holy Spirit and He is speaking to you, but some of you are not
recognizing His voice.
As I was writing this
word the Lord showed me someone tuning up a piano. I did a google search for
piano tuning and this is what I found. To tune a piano you have to make
adjustments to the tensions of the strings of the piano to properly align the
intervals between their tones so that the instrument is in tune. Fine tuning a
piano requires an assessment of the vibration interaction among notes, which is
different for every piano. Many factors cause pianos to go out of tune,
particularly atmospheric changes. Some of you may have gone out of sync with
Jesus and your hearing needs to be tuned up. The Holy Spirit wants to fine tune
your hearing to hear his voice.
As you go to sleep at
night with expectation you will be more receptive to hear from him in your
dreams. As you quiet your mind and posture yourself in an attitude of prayer,
you will learn how to hear and become more sensitive to his voice when you
pray. As you prepare yourself by conforming to his ways, renewing your mind and
attending to his words you will become more attuned to his voice. When you free
your mind from the cares of this world you will begin to hear with more
clarity. As you read the word of God and meditate upon it, you will begin to
discern his plans for you. As you lift your voice to him in praise and worship,
you will begin to hear him in the song. You will then begin to rise above your
circumstances and rest in his presence. As you go about your day, listen for
his voice. Know that you are entitled to hear from him as your inheritance as a
child of God.

Samuel 3: 19
So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words
fall to the ground.

Samuel 9: 6a
And
he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city a man
of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass.”
1
Samuel 10: 6
Then the Spirit of the Lord will rush upon you,
and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
