HEARING FROM GOD

                   HEARING FROM GOD 
                            (PART ONE)


       There has been so much misconception and argument about hearing from God. Many are of the opinion that God is Spirit and does not speak to mortals like us. Others said, that it is impossible for us to hear from God. Yet many always say "Thus says the Lord ", when God has not spoken. Yet, another set of persons who God speaks to almost every moment, boldly say,  God has never spoken to me. Most times I  hear them say things like ,(something told me. I heard a voice. My mind told me) and many other.
         However, hearing from God can be very complicated because Satan speaks.
     
           The bible says "You, however ,are controlled not by sinful nature ,but by the Spirit......................The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children Rom 8:9-16"
          Let me answer some of the questions we normally ask;

        ** Does God speaks?
        ** Can we hear from God ?
        ** What are the ways God speaks to us?

  DOES GOD SPEAKS?   Yes. God speaks. Starting from the beginning.
            "Then God said,............Gen 1:3,26,29. Gen 12:1".
  
  CAN WE HEAR FROM GOD?  Yes. We can hear from God,  according to the scriptures, people's experience and my personal experience.  God spoke with Abraham (Gen 12). Those discussions wouldn't have taken place,  if Abraham was not hearing from God . Moses spoke with God face to face "Ex's 3 and 33". 
Many children of God have been hearing and still hear from God, even in our time.
      Before we look into the ways God speaks to us,  let us see some hindrances to hearing from God.

    ♧♧ Self condemnation.
    ♧♧ Unbelieve/ lack of faith.
    ♧♧ Anxiety and Restless mind.


  In the second part of this article,  we will thoroughly consider the ways God speaks to us . God bless us.
