Hearing God's Voice Part 1 by Victoriousmind(f): 5:41am On Jul 09, 2020
When you say you hear the voice of something, it means that its the way something was communicated to you so the voice of God depict His presence. The voice of God is a communication that comes from God and it comes in distinctive ways. God speaks and we are able to know He exists because we heard Him. God is not passive, He is active. He has been speaking and still speaks. God has been speaking from the beginning, the whole earth was created through the voice of God.

The earth came as a result of a pronunciation. The Bible is clear on the voice from Genesis to Revelation. Genesis 3:8 says Adam and Eve heard the sound of God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord among the trees of the garden. The voice of God is the sound of God. The voice of God in man’s life means the presence of God in and around the person. The voice of God is how God communicates, they were able to know that God was around through the voice which came after man fell.

Exodus 24:18, Moses went to the mountain and the lord spoke to Him; God has been speaking from the beginning. God speaks to man. In the Old testament, not everybody could hear God’s voice but God speaks to every man through a man He has ordained. God has different ways of communicating, God communicated His intentions, personality to man through the things He created(Romans 1:20).

The attributes of God voice includes;
✔ Mighty; this was seen in psalm 68:13

✔Powerful; Psalm 29:4

✔Majesty; Psalm 29:4

✔It divides the flames of fire; Psalm 29:7

The word flames of fire was seen in Hebrews 1:7, it was said when speaking about the ministry of angels.
The response of God towards circumstances was seen in Psalm 46:6, His voice melt the earth. His voice brings:
✔Calmness in the midst of trouble
✔Peace
✔Comfort
✔Edification
✔His voice also builds us up
✔Restoration
✔Uprooting

The voice of God was likened to the sounds of many waters by Prophet Ezekiel which means it can be heard. The old Prophet’s described God the way he spoke to them. Heb1:1 says God who has various times and in various ways spoke to in time past to the fathers by the prophets. They all described God the way He ministered to them and he also spoke to them through visions.

God’s voice was heard again after resurrection of Jesus Christ. His voice was heard through his son and all that his son represents both before and after resurrection are Gods voice to us. How we know what God is saying per time, his vision and what He looks like is through the person of Jesus because He is the one that expressed the thought of God to us. All that Christ represent is all that God is, He is the voice of God to us.
There are two things to God’s voice; you can hear His voice and also be his voice, in that God speaks through you to his people. For every manifestation that happens to man, there is always a voice that backs it up and there is always a voice that is waiting for you(leading of the spirit). The voice of God was likened to trumpet in the Bible which means if you can hear the trumpet audibly then you can hear the voice of God. If John could hear the voice of God like trumpet, it means it is so clear that you can hear and understand Him. The voice of God also gives instructions to us.

How to hear the voice of God?

The first "how" is to be a man, from the beginning we see that God speaks to man whether through a man to you. For you to be reading this, you can hear God. It is not about your physical attributes or what you have done, if inanimate object could hear God and they responded, how much more man that carries the breath of God. It is not about your sin, in fact the first man to hear God was a sinner; Adam and Eve had sinned when they heard Gods voice. Your sin won’t stop Him from talking to you. He wants you restored. God is all- knowing which you will agree with me that he knew Adam sinned against him or disobeyed him yet His voice came seeking for man that was lost. His voice is both for the lost and the restored. If you are a believer and you are reading this, you believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO HEAR GODS VOICE. If sinners could hear him then you are more than qualified to hear Him. God spoke to Cain after he killed Abel, this is to let you know that God speaks to everyone, your sin won’t make Him stop talking to you. His voice to us is for restoration.

Your inability to hear God is not God’s fault because every man has the ability to hear God.
