The Importance of Listening to God’s Voice!

“And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved son, whom I love; with him, I am well pleased” Matthew 3:17.

Our focus today is hearing God’s affirming and validating voice. Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t know what to do? You felt lost and uncertain of which way to turn. So, you did what anyone would do in that situation – you asked for guidance. But, instead of feeling relief at having a clear path laid out before you, you felt more anxious than ever. Why? Because you couldn’t hear God’s voice. You couldn’t understand what He was trying to tell you.

At times, we are faced with doubts and disappointments. We feel let down by those we wish could believe in us. Hence, we desperately crave validation and reassurance. Voice is the prose of words in which everyone expresses their thoughts and feelings. Those words we speak impact others to withstand or wither in their life challenges. This is why we need the Holy Spirit in our hearts to speak words of validation and acceptance from the throne of God to us on this earth, filled with doubt and fear. As Christians, we need to hear God’s reassuring voice within our hearts consistently.

1 John 5:9 says, “Even if we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony that God has given about His Son.”

Chinese Proverb says, “The tongue can paint what the eyes can’t see.” So my question is, do you often hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to reassure you that He loves you and that you are indeed a child of God? This is super important; it molds our identity and response to life. To continually become acquainted with the voice of assurance and validation from the Lord, you need to listen to God’s voice through His words with a more profound sense of openness and acceptance.

You need this heavenly approval resounding in your inner ears, heart, and mind to keep you from falling into the enemy’s deception. The voice that would not allow one word of doubt, fear, despair, and discouragement to settle on your mind, instead you will hear these Saying words like: “God loves me; I can make it; it is possible because I believe in Christ Jesus; I am accepted in Christ; I am competent in Jesus.” You see, with God’s voice and His word, there is no place for argument or confusion because He is God by himself. Amen. “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” Isaiah 46:10. Amen.

Prayer:
1. I command every evil voice controlling my daily covenant to be silent in the name of Jesus.
2. I plead the blood of Jesus against every voice of shame, embarrassment, and reproach in my house, business, and ministry in Jesus’ name. Amen.
