We are the priests

What is your inheritance?

'' This Post,discusses what the Bible declares to be our "inheritance" as Christian believers. It is important to understand this inheritance. Otherwise, we will lose it, and miss out on God's purpose for our lives..

To understand our inheritance, we must first realize that all of us, as believers in Christ, are priests of God:

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy." (1 Peter 2:9-10)

Notice how the passage above declares that we are priests on account that we are God's people now. The Church has grown accustomed to the idea that the only "ministers" or "priests" are those who came out of seminary and hold a full-time position in some well-recognized congregation. This idea, however, grows out of man's carnal desire to create castes among people, but the Lord sees us as One Body, whose members have all been baptized into the same Spirit and into the same Anointing:

"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)

"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." (1 John 2:20)

Last days

Noah’s Ark In the Now..

These are the last days. This cannot be denied, and most people will agree that this is so. Men’s hearts are failing them for fear of what is coming upon the earth. The leaders of nations are meeting together to try to find a way out, but with little success. Much of the world lives in constant fear, while the rest of it is either in ignorance of world events or is trying to forget by means of pleasure, frantic activity or drugs. The outlook certainly is dark to say the least, from the viewpoint of the natural man.

In the midst of all this, where is God? What is He doing about the situation? Thanks be to God, He is right on time with His program of deliverance. Nothing has gotten out of hand for Him. Everything is moving right along on schedule. For you see, God is preparing a vessel of deliverance for His people, and a means of judgment for His enemies. Exactly as He did in the days of Noah. Jesus spoke some powerful words in Matthew chapter 24 concerning the last days and the time of His return. Let’s read Matt 24:36-39...

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. BUT AS THE DAYS OF NO’E WERE, SO SHALL ALSO THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN BE. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that No’e entered into the ark, And knew not UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME, AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

Look at this scripture closely. Jesus is saying the last days will bear a marked similarity to the days in which Noah lived. All most folks think about is that back there they were eating and drinking and getting married. Well that was going on long before Noah’s day, and has been going on ever since. Some think that as it was in Noah’s day, some were taken and some were left, and they want to be taken. You’d better hope not, for it was not righteous Noah and his sons that were taken. They were left behind to inherit the new earth. It was the wicked who were “taken away.” Most of our book-fed theologians who have no divine revelation on the Word are teaching the people to pray that they will be “taken when Jesus comes.” Take another look at Matthew 24..

Seeing and Hearing

''we are studying how to know God’s voice and the prophetic gifts that He has given to His church, I want to begin by sharing what may be one of the most prolific messages God’s people have been receiving.''

Isaiah 11:11
And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a second time to recover (acquire and deliver) the remnant of His people which is left, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam [in Persia], from Shinar [Babylonia], from Hamath [in Upper Syria], and from the countries bordering on the [Mediterranean] Sea

the message of Isaiah 11:11 because it is here that God promises to restore Israel to their land a second time.

'' When Isaiah received this message, Israel had not even been scattered from the land and re-gathered the first time. When Jesus was asked about the signs of the end of the age, one of the things He said was that we should consider the fig tree, which is a symbol for Israel. Israel is one of the bold prophetic messages that prophets watch and consider. Israel is a barometer of mankind. It is in a perpetual state of conflict, both within and without. This has lasted for so long and they have desired peace so much that they have even been willing to give up large parts of their tiny bit of land in the hope of achieving peace. However, instead of leading to peace, the land they surrendered has become a base for attacking them. Their peace will never come from man, but only from God. The good news is that it will come from God, which is the most basic message of Isaiah 11.''

Peace will never come by giving away what God assigned to us, but rather by esteeming everything He has given to us even more than peace with men and by seeing His purpose as even more valuable than life. It is time for Israel to be grafted back into the Tree—God Himself. It is a beginning to be re-gathered to the land, but it is more important to be re-gathered to the Lord...

Israel is a sign of God’s faithfulness to His Word. In Jeremiah 31, the Lord states that the order of the sun, moon, and the roaring of the sea would cease before His promises for Israel would fail. Many believe that these are now fulfilled in the church, “spiritual Israel.” This is true of many of them, but this does not negate that they are also for “natural Israel.” The Lord makes it clear in His Word in a number of places that these are for the physical seed of Abraham. The Apostle Paul also asserted this in his most important Epistle on New Covenant theology, the Book of Romans, as we read in chapters nine through eleven. As we are warned in this text, it is a big mistake to “become arrogant toward the natural branches” (see Romans 11:18)...

The main message of the re-gathered nation of Israel is that God is faithful to His Word. He remains faithful even if we are unfaithful, and in His faithfulness He will give us another chance. The whole chapter of Isaiah11 is about the restoration of the earth to the paradise it was originally created to be, a second chance for the whole earth—the re-gathering of Israel “the second time” is a sign that this is near. The kingdom of God that God’s people have been praying for since Jesus walked the earth is near. ..

GOD appoints his people, NOT man

Matthew 23:13
“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you SHUT UP the kingdom of heaven AGAINST MEN, for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

Hosea 5:3-6
I know Ephraim, And ISRAEL IS NOT HIDDEN from Me, For now, O Ephraim, you commit harlotry, ISRAEL IS DEFILED.
“ They do not direct their deeds Toward turning to their God, For the SPIRIT OF HARLOTRY IS IN THEIR MIDST And they do not know the LORD.
The PRIDE OF ISRAEL testifies to his face, Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity, Judah also stumbles with them.
“ With their flocks and herds They shall go to seek the LORD, But they WILL NOT FIND HIM, He has WITHDRAWN HIMSELF from them.

Hebrews 5:1-5
==> Qualifications for High Priesthood, NO ONE can appoint himself or an other man.
For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since HE HIMSELF is also SUBJECT to WEAKNESS. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. And NO MAN TAKES THIS HONOR TO HIMSELF, but he WHO IS CALLED BY GOD, just as Aaron was.

==> THERE IS ONLY ONE Priest Forever
So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
“ You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.”

Isaiah 32:6
For the foolish person will speak foolishness,  And his heart will work iniquity: To PRACTICE UNGODLINESS, To utter error against the LORD,TO KEEP THE HUNGRY UNSATISFIED, And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 

 

Luke 10:2
Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Luke 11:46
And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

(Isaiah 3:4)
I will give children to be their princes, And babes shall rule over them.
(Isaiah 3:12)
As for My people, children are their oppressors,
And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.

(Jeremiah 13:21)
What will you say when He punishes you?
For you have taught them To be chieftains, to be head over you. Will not pangs seize you, Like a woman in labor?

Joel 3:13
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, For the winepress is full, The vats overflow For their wickedness is great.”

1 Peter 2:5
.. you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Romans 12:1 - Living Sacrifices to God

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY, acceptable to God, which is your REASONABLE SERVICE.

Hebrews 9:14
..how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit OFFERED Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Luke 3:8

Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

How can you hear Word of God, Jesus voice

What is Christian MEDITATION ?

One way we get to the place of accuracy and sharpness concerning the things of God is by meditating on the Word. 
When believers today hear the word "meditation", they frequently associate it with a time consuming task, but what they actually fail to realize is that meditation adds a refreshing quality to the study of the Word.

Meditation in the Word of God is one of the greatest keys to obtaining understanding through hearing the Voice of God. It is not surprising that the devil continually tries to destroy the message of meditation on God's Word.

1. Meditation means "to walk and talk and to memorize." 
2. It means to visualize and personalize the Word of God.
3. It means to fill your thoughts with the thoughts of God and become consumed with the thoughts of God and the things which God has said.

When this is done, it becomes very easy for a believer to understand and hear when God is speaking.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua 1:8

This is a very powerful scripture. God is saying, "If you will meditate on My Word day and night, and speak that Word and obey it, everything in your life will be prosperous and successful." 

One purpose of meditation is to position the believer in the place of doing God's Word.
Another purpose of meditation is to position the believer in the right place where he or she can be able to know when God is speaking.
Meditation in God's Word will also help the believer to clearly understand the leading of the Lord...

Meditation will cause you to respond to God's Word with action. The results of meditating on the Word of God are tremendous!

Notice that the Scripture says, "Thou shalt make thy way prosperous." That means you!! 
You are responsible for your own prosperity!! It is determined by the extent and degree of your commitment towards meditating on God's Word. Remember, it is God's Word and not what the world says. It is only in the King James Version that the word "success" is written and recorded.

There are three biblical ways of meditation. They are as follows:

1. Learning to speak the Word aloud so that your ears can hear what you are saying. The Hebrew word for "speak" is the same as "to meditate." When you begin to tell believers and unbelievers about the great God we serve, about His power and His strength, we are actually meditating. Learn to talk about what God is doing. Whatever is in your heart will come out of your mouth in abundance. Do you know that anxiety and worrying is a form of meditation? The problem is that this is a wrong kind of meditation. When you begin to ponder and think and speak aloud about that negative situation in your life, what you are simply doing is meditating on the devil's junk!


2.The next way of meditating is by musing on God's Word. The word "muse" means to "ponder, think, consider and to carefully study a thing." This is common among most believers. This has to do with an individual taking a thought or a promise of God's Word and keeping it under their continual consideration. This has to do with memorization. Many believers get uptight as soon as the word "memorization" is mentioned. Some believers will say, "Listen, I am too old for that memorization stuff." They actually believe that memorization is meant for the younger Christian. This is why most ministers and believers are unable to quote a Scripture by heart. They cannot even tell you where the Scripture is found. This is very embarrassing and humiliating. The Church needs to meditate on the Word so much that the Word becomes a part of them.


3. Finally, I will consider the muttering of the soundness of God's Word. This involves speaking the word of God out of your mouth. The only difference here is that the words are spoken quietly, as if one is speaking under his or her breath. Muttering of the Word helps a lot. You can use it while in the laundry room. During your study of the Word, it is advisable to take two or three promises of God in His Word and begin to mutter them to yourself. It is very enriching and will thoroughly bless you.

We need meditation. We need to spend more time with God and meditate upon His Word. It will bring a great development to the spirit man and when this is accomplished, our minds will learn to be quiet long enough so that we can hear, understand, and interpret the Voice and leading of God...

BibelSvar: Seven ways to hear God speaking - First is Urim and Thummim

How strong is your faith - Do you believe when you pray?

Romans 10:17,,,speaking faith..

Faith. Everyone has heard about it, many have seen it, but relatively few have experienced it in any depth.
Yet Hebrews 3 and 4 tell us that Israel could not enter into God’s Rest because they did not have the faith required of them to enter into that level of experience. But why? Had they not seen all the miracles Moses did? Had they not seen the parting of the Red Sea, the manna sent from heaven, and the fiery presence of God upon Mount Sinai? Of course they did, and they were certainly convinced that these things came from God. Nonetheless, they did not have the faith necessary to enter the Promised Land. The question is: Why not?

There is a difference between mental persuasion and faith.

One can be totally convinced of the authenticity of Scripture and that Jesus was the Son of God who died and rose again for us, and yet not have the level of faith needed to enter the Promised Land. If it takes faith only the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain, as Jesus said, then how little faith we must have! When we are confronted by mole hills, we are often frustrated and helpless to do anything. Or if we do, we seem to resemble the prophets of Baal in our antics as we try to manipulate God into doing something for us, rather than Elijah who simply prayed and got the job done...

Prayer is something that most people do not really believe will work for them. 

For this reason, prayer meetings usually fail to draw more than a handful of interested people, and many of them seem to attend more out of duty and pastoral compulsion than from a genuine interest. Most are not excited by the prospect of a prayer meeting, because they do not really expect much to be accomplished by their prayer. Thus, only the dutiful and the disciplined are able to enter that labor, and seldom is it a joyous celebration of God’s interaction with men...

What is Mercy and Grace ?

Expressed in very simple words, mercy and grace is:

MERCY = Do not kill me even though I have deserved to be killed by all my sin I have committed.

GRACE = Give me strength not to continue in the same way as before, in the manner that led me to death. Lead me Lord to life in that I die for what I was before.

Mercy is the one-time act of God and grace is a power through the Holy Spirit to grow into a new being as one was meant / created to be from the beginning before we lost the glory of God.

Mercy gives deliverance and grace uphold sanctification.

IS THAT DISGUSTING SMELL COMING FROM YOUR DIAPERS OR MINE?

By Gary Northington

One of the greatest sins of this day that we live in, are those depraved individuals who take advantage of, and then abuse innocent little children.  Many a baby has been murdered or permanently injured simply for the sin of crying, or soiling their diapers.  Thousands of children have been kidnapped, and then have vanished, never to be seen again, and all to satisfy the sick desires of some demon infested monster.

 If we have been born again, then we are now a part of the family of God.

1 John 3:2

 In this family, as in a natural family, all of Gods children are in different stages of their spiritual growth, and are assigned different responsibilities only as they become mature enough to handle those responsibilities, and the expectations that come with them.


 While we may correct and hold a 7 year old responsible for soiling his underwear, simply because he did not want to come inside from his play, it would be ridiculous to punish a six month old for the same infraction.


Yet there are many individuals in the household of God who have become religious bullies, that have unreasonable expectations for those new born in Christ, who in their own childish reasoning, they believe to be weaker then themselves. They shake and belittle them with their words.  They talk down to them in front of their friends, doing their best to make them feel small and insignificant.  (This is spiritual child abuse.)
1 Corinthians 8:12

I know that there will be some of you who will misunderstand my intent, and suggest that I am excusing sin.  No I am not.  God does not wink at sin.  The contents of the older child's underwear smells just as bad as the contents of the baby's diaper, and perhaps even worse, because there is a lot more of it.

I also know and understand, that there are times when we will find it necessary, to warn, reprove or rebuke a brother or sister in the Lord, for it is child abuse as well to not warn a child who is playing in the street, while there is oncoming traffic.

Ezekiel 33:8
However correction should always be motivated by love and compassion.

Revelations 3:19

God takes the welfare of the children within his family very seriously, and he will not hold guiltless those who abuse, mistreat or murder his children.
Many a child of God has been aborted before Christ has had an opportunity to be formed in them, and as a result, they have vanished from the family of God never to be seen again.

Galatians 4:19

Gods word says that whosoever offends one of his little ones, that it would be better for that person to have a millstone tied around their neck and thrown into the sea. 

Luke 17:2

I must reiterate that I am not excusing sin,  I am a preacher of righteousness.  Yet I feel in my heart that true righteousness will only come about when God gives us a revelation of the finished work of the Cross.  When we gaze upon the face of our resurrected Savior, his unrivaled beauty and splendor will cause every fiber and molecule in our very being to undergo a supernatural transformation that will start to conform and change into his image, in an overwhelming desire to please him.

2 Corinthians 3:18

As we become a partaker of his divine nature, sin will no longer become a problem, for the simple reason that it is just no longer who you are.

2 Peter 1:4

God is not looking for puppets on a string.  If we are as concerned about the righteousness of others, as we say we are, then would it not be wise to show them Jesus, for to know him is to love him.

How to Hear God's Voice

Les D. Crause

In the Old Testament, God's voice was heard through various means, the most common, and the most powerful, being the prophets. In the New Testament God still fulfils a large role in the prophet. The prophet still hears God's voice and speaks it forth. How does a prophet hear from God? Are there specific ways that God speaks? Can a prophet develop a greater capacity to hear the voice of God?
In this lesson I want to deal with prophetic listening and the ability to hear God's voice; how the prophet hears God's voice, how God speaks and how it is possible for us to hear and to take heed and receive from Him, especially as the prophets of God, that we may speak forth His words into the earth. We first have to hear, and before we can hear we have to learn how to listen.

Hear God's Voice in Seven Ways

I am going to look at seven ways that God speaks; seven ways that a person can hear; seven ways that the prophet can hear God's voice and know what it is that God is saying, and receive instructions from the Holy Spirit. Seven is the number of perfection or completion. I did not plan it that way, but as I waited on the Lord He gave me seven different ways of hearing from Him. It is so vitally important that we learn to hear well.

Hearing God's Voice 1: The Spiritual Urim and Thummim

The first method that God used to speak in the Old Testament was the method called the Urim and the Thummim. In that first verse that we looked at it said that, "God did not answer Saul by Urim..." Urim was one of the ways that Saul tried to hear from God. The Scripture says that God did not answer him by Urim. So we need to understand what the Urim is, and we need to go back into the Old Testament and look at a few Scriptures.
The general consensus amongst those who have studied this, is that the Urim and the Thummim were two stones. These stones were either the stones that were embedded in the breastplate of the ephod worn by the priest, or they were two stones that were contained in a pouch that was on the side of the ephod where he could place his hand. Somehow these two stones would give a person direction from God. It was not the kind of direction that says, "What must I do? Where must I go?" but the kind of direction that says, "Should I do this or should I not do that?" And the answer would come either as a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.
So when they used the Urim and the Thummim to obtain direction from God in those times, they would know which direction they were planning to go. What they would do is to present to the Lord a question. "Lord, shall I do this?" And they would hear God's answer back by Urim or Thummim, yes or no. It seems that if you had a Urim the answer was yes, and if you had a Thummim the answer was no.
I want to show you a Scripture that indicates how David used it. In 1 Samuel 23:9 it says:
"When David knew Saul had secretly planned evil against him he said to Abiathar the priest, ‘Bring the ephod here.’ Then David said, ‘O Lord God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me. Will the man of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beg of you, tell Your servant.’ And the Lord said, ‘He will come down.’ "
God answered him with a Urim. And so in the Old Testament there was this means of hearing from God, a means of receiving a yes or no answer from God.
God has placed within you a spiritual Urim and Thummim. He has placed within you a sign, a revelation that will cause you to receive a yes answer or a no answer. You can come to God in prayer still with that kind of question. "Lord, must I do this?" And the answer will come up from within your spirit as a, 'yes, yes,' or a 'uh uh, no way.' You will sense it in your spirit. You will feel it. You will feel it as a surge which says, "Yes, it is good, do it." Or you will feel a check in your spirit. It is a gut feel, an inner thing. It is a very deep thing, and what is actually taking place is that you are hearing God's voice speaking to you out of your spirit.

Hearing God's Voice 2: Dreams and Visions

Hear God's Voice Through Dreams
When you dream, what you have received from your spirit in your dreams has to come via the senses. In your dreams you see things, hear things, taste things, smell things, and touch things. All of those senses come out in your dreams. There is no other way that your spirit can communicate outwards through your mind except through the senses.
So as you dream, you need to identify in your dream what is being communicated to you via those five senses. What did you see in your dream? What did you hear? Did you taste something? Did you smell something? Did you feel something? All of these things come out and they are coming out to communicate a message to you. Your spirit cannot speak to your mind in words. Your spirit cannot speak outwards in an audible voice. It has to speak via the senses, and the most common sense is always the sense of sight. So most of your dreams are going to be taken up with pictures, things that you are going to see, and what comes up out of your spirit in dreams is going to take various forms. This is a very common way for the prophet to hear God's voice.

Hearing God's voice through Visions
What are visions? I used to often ask the Lord for visions. "Oh Lord, I want a vision. Oh Lord, please give me a vision." I would read in the Bible how Peter went into a trance and he saw things. Paul had visions and all the great guys had visions. You hear evangelists and the big preachers standing up and saying, "I had a vision of the Lord, and in my vision I saw this and that, and this and the other thing."
So I used to say, "Oh, Lord, I wish I could have a vision."
People close to me began to say, "I had this vision from the Lord." My Dad began to have visions, powerful visions.
"Oh Lord, why can you not give it to me? Why do I not have visions, Lord?"
Then one day the Lord showed me that I had been seeing visions for a long time, but I did not know that visions do not always take the same form. What is a vision? A vision is simply, an influence coming up out of your spirit and coming into your mind. The difference is it takes place while you are awake. It is really just a dream while you are awake depending on whether that vision really is a play like a dream. And if it is a play like a dream, then it will come to you just like a dream, except while you are awake. It is one of the simplest forms of hearing God's voice.

Hearing God's Voice 3: Prophetic Utterances

The third way of hearing God's voice is through prophetic utterances and tongues. You have within you a wellspring of wisdom. You have the Word that has been stored within you. You have the Spirit of God that is within you. In fact you have everything. The Scripture speaks about us having within us a spring of life. Jesus spoke about that well springing up and pouring out of us. He said, "Out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water."
We need to tap into that inner wisdom. So what we have to do is create a link, a channel, for the flow to begin to take place and flow outwards. One of the ways of doing it is through the faculty of speech. As your spirit communicates outwards via the emotions we have our Urim and Thummim. As it communicates outwards via the mind we have dreams and visions. How does it communicate outwards via the will? It communicates through speech. The speech center is linked directly to the spirit, and when you open your mouth by an act of your will to speak forth, then you speak forth what comes up out of your spirit.

Other Tongues
Just praying in tongues will cause to come up out of your spirit influences, visions even, pictures into your mind. Your spiritual Urim and Thummim and all of them start to come to life as you spend long periods praying in tongues. And then you are also in a position now to begin speaking in your native tongue because you do not understand what you are saying in tongues. You may be seeing pictures in your mind. You may be feeling a sense of positive and negative in your emotions, but you still do not have any instruction, because you do not know what you are saying in tongues. You do not know what your spirit is saying in tongues.

Interpreting Tongues
So Paul says, "If any man pray in an unknown tongue, let him pray that he can also interpret." Do you realize that as you pour forth in tongues, you are tapping the wisdom that is within? It is the wisdom that your spirit has, because it is in contact with the Holy Spirit? Do you want to know the will of God? Do you want to hear God's voice? Do you want Him to speak to you? He is doing it all the time. All you need to do is learn to hear the voice of your own spirit, because your spirit is going to tell it to you. If you are going to hear God's voice, do you know what it is going to sound like? It is going to sound like you.
I found that as I began to help people move into these things, and to understand the voice of God and the revelations that were coming to them, that there would be times when the Spirit of God would move and God would show me and reveal things to me. And I would say, "Now, God has put something in your mind. Come on, share it with us. What do you see?"
The person would say, "Well, I kind of thought this, and I thought, ‘Hey, it is just me. I am making it up.’ "
Of course it was you. It came up out of your spirit because the Holy Spirit is going to speak to your spirit and it is YOUR spirit that is going to communicate it outwards.
That is the voice that you have learned to hear throughout your life, the real you, the inner you, the spirit within you. That is the voice that is going to come out. That is where God is going to speak through. That is where the influence is going to come from. If you can learn to speak out in tongues, you can then learn to interpret your tongues. And if you can learn to interpret your tongues, you can know what the Spirit is saying.
So you can pray, and you can speak in tongues, and you can interpret your tongues. You can develop to the capacity where God will then begin to speak to you, where the anointing of the Spirit of God will rise up within you and you will speak in tongues and interpret your tongues. You will speak in tongues and you will interpret your own tongues.

Hear God's Voice Through Prophecy
Prophecy is speaking without tongues. Very often, it will happen while you are praying. I found out that as I would pray with people concerning their needs, it would slip out. I would say something while in prayer like, "Lord, we pray for this person, and Lord I pray that you would do this..." And the spirit of prophecy would rise up and say, "Yes, that is it. This is what I am going to do, and..." out comes a prophecy most unexpectedly. Why? Because I learned to tap the flow from within my spirit by the faculty of speech.
It is like a boat on the water. You can place it in the water and you can sit and play with the rudder all you like. It does nothing to the boat. The boat just sits there. But get the boat moving, push it out and set it in motion, and the moment you move that rudder the boat is affected immediately. You have to open your mouth and speak. And if you want to prophesy, or hear God's voice in prophecy, then you are going to have to practice this. If you are afraid to do it in public, then you must do it the way I learned by doing it in your private prayer closet. You do it by learning to pray in tongues and interpreting your tongues and by learning to prophesy over yourself. The more you do that, the better you will become at it, until eventually you will have the confidence.

Hearing God's Voice 4: Angels

The fourth way you can hear God's voice is by the agency of angels. In Acts 27:23 Paul says:
For there stood by me this night the angel of God whose I am and whom I serve, saying, "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and look, God has given you all those who are sailing with you."

Messenger Angels
The angel of God appeared to bring him a message. I shared in our teaching on angels and demons in the Way of Blessing, how that one third of the angels of heaven are the messenger angels, the angel Gabriel being the main one. Their responsibility is to come and bring a message from God.
You say, "Yes, but that was fine in the Old Testament when the Spirit of God was not within people, when a person could not hear from God for themselves in their own heart. Yes, God would use angels then."
That is why I picked a verse from the New Testament because I knew you were going to give me that argument.
The great apostle Paul said, "The angel of the Lord appeared to me tonight and brought me a message from the Lord."
You find many occurrences of this in the Old and New Testaments. There are messenger angels. God did not make a third of the angels of heaven to sit around and do nothing. They have a job to do, and their job is to bring a message.

Angelic Influence
The way they bring a message is often a lot stronger. Do you know why? Because angels can produce an influence from without. The angels can produce an influence directly on your mind without coming via your spirit, because very often people do not hear their spirits. They do not listen well to their spirits, or they are too preoccupied and too busy to hear from their spirits. So God brings an external influence, a messenger angel, maybe as a confirmation. God uses angels to bring messages.
In vision you might see an angel coming with a scroll in his hand, and he is bringing a message from Almighty God. Perhaps he is bringing a decree that you are meant to take and speak forth into the earth as a prophet. He is saying, "Here is a decree. God has issued a decree and He wants this Word to go forth in the earth. Here it is. I am giving it to you. You are God's prophet. You have the authority. You have the responsibility to speak this forth, to speak a Word of creation. Now you take the decree and you speak it forth."
When you see an angel coming to you in the Spirit like that, this is what is happening. I have seen angels come with a scroll that is sealed. In most cases the scroll is a picture of a declaration which has been made concerning my own life and ministry. Then as the angel gives me the scroll, the instruction comes from the Spirit; "Break the first seal." Usually when I see a scroll like that each seal typifies a stage in God’s plan.
So if I see a scroll with three seals on it I know that God is giving a three-stage plan. And He is saying, "The first stage must now begin. Break the first seal." As I break that first seal something begins to happen in my life and in my ministry, and God begins to put together something. Then further down the line the word of instruction comes and God reveals the scroll again and He says, "Break the second seal."
Messenger angels come to bring a Word from the Lord. They come to bring a decree and a declaration from the Lord, for you to take up and to put in your mouth, and to declare and decree into the earth as the prophet of God.

Hearing God's Voice 5: Journaling

This fifth method of hearing God's voice is a very important one. It leads on from some of the things that we have already looked at. I want to show you a passage from the book of Habakkuk Chapter 2:1. The prophet Habakkuk says:
"I will stand upon my watch and set myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am reproved."
Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tables, that he that reads it may run."
I spoke earlier about how words release the spirit within; how that while you are speaking, things pop up out of your spirit without you being aware of it. Sometimes the things that pop up out of your spirit are a source of wisdom. You might be speaking to somebody about a problem that they have and suddenly you find yourself saying something that you had never planned to say, something that you had never ever thought before. As you speak it you know that you are speaking the solution to the problem. It occurs to you suddenly and unexpectedly. You just see it, and it pops out.

Through Normal Speech
If as a believer you have been filling yourself with the Word eventually the Word is going to start to come out. And as you are speaking, suddenly into your mind will pop a promise, a commandment, an instruction, something from the Word that you read years ago. You forgot that it was there, but in the process of conversation, while you were pouring out within your heart, suddenly it pops back into your memory and you see it, you just grasp it and you know it, and you say, "That is the answer." The solution is right there.
Now, you can develop this. I spoke earlier about developing this in speaking in tongues and in speaking in prophecy. If you are a child of God you have the ability to tap that inner resource. If you are a prophet of God this capability has become highly magnified. You are more sensitive to the realm of the Spirit. You are more capable of hearing from the Spirit and therefore you are more capable of tapping the resource that is in your spirit through speech.
Now if you are going to receive wisdom from the Lord, you cannot go about muttering to yourself all the time. It is known as the first sign of madness in many quarters. You might have somebody reporting you. They may arrive with handcuffs. "The guy needs to be locked up to protect himself." If you are going to do this you are going to have to be alone. But, it is possible for you to speak without speaking. And how do you do that? By writing. What does a dumb person do if they cannot speak? You can still communicate outwards what is in your heart through writing, where you write on paper, or type on the computer, whichever form of writing you are going to use. When you are writing you are putting speech down on paper, or whatever other medium you are using.

Speaking Through Writing
So it is possible for you to speak by writing. And as you do this you can enter into a conversation with the Lord. As a prophet of God you can come into a place where you can speak to the Lord, and where He can speak back to you again. This is what the prophet Habakkuk was doing. He was saying, "I'll stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and I will watch to see what He will say to me." He is speaking about coming into a position of hearing God's voice.
How do you journal? You concentrate on Him, you speak in tongues and you get the flow going. Close your eyes and concentrate on Him, get into worship, and if you are going to visualize anything imagine the Lord standing right there in front of you, and you are speaking with Him and having a conversation with Him.

Writing Your Dialogue as you hear God's Voice
Then pick up your pen and paper and write down your conversation. You write down what you are saying to the Lord. You write down, "Father, I need direction at this time. Lord, what is Your plan and purpose for me today? What would You have me to do?"
Then you pick up your pen and you write down His answer to you. Well how are you going to know His answer to you? You are going to hear it from deep within your spirit. You are going to have impulses and thoughts cross your mind. You are going to have pictures come into your mind. It is going to come just like prophecy. There may be a thought, there may be a phrase, there may be an idea. But as you let your mind free and let your spirit bring that influence up from within, thoughts begin to flow and you begin to write them down.

Hear God's Voice 6: The Inner Voice

The sixth method of hearing from God is what I call the inner voice. In 1 Kings 19 we have the account of how Elijah, after he had run away in fear from Jezebel, sat down and wanted to die. He went to a place where God spoke to him.
And God said, "Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And the Lord passed by, and a great and mighty wind tore in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
The still small voice. This is something that is even deeper. Remember, what is being communicated from the spirit outwards, as it is communicated into the mind, it is communicated via the senses. The still small voice is God communicating outwards, not in pictures, but in the hearing. Not everybody is able to receive and to hear in the Spirit. But most of us are able to hear the still small voice.
You are going to hear this still small voice when things are still. You are not going to hear it where there is noise. That is what God was trying to show Elijah. There was this great big wind and earthquake and fire - the glory, the power, the anointing, the revival power, the river of God. No! The still small voice, not coming from without, not external, but a deep internal voice of God. It is speaking, not shouting, but speaking gently, whispering almost.
You can learn to hear the still small voice of God if you will quiet your heart before the Lord and wait in His presence. I think the Lord had a plan when He told Elijah to go and climb the mountain. It wore out all of his physical resources. He was physically tired by the time he came to the mountain top. His mind was probably boggled from just seeing rocks in front of him all the time. Whatever it was he came to place where he was totally still before the Lord. Then God could speak to him in that still small voice.
You are also able to hear God's still small voice. The still small voice of the Lord is a very quiet, deep, inner voice, and it comes out in words. The Lord will speak to you and you will actually hear His voice speaking deep within you. Now this is a difficult one. This is one that takes a mature prophet of God to use. I’ll tell you why. Because the still small voice comes up into your mind. And your mind is the battleground that Satan can use and attack and Satan can bombard you from outside.
So this is a way of hearing God's voice that takes a seasoned prophet. It takes a man of God who knows the Word. It takes somebody who recognizes deception and will recognize and can discern if that voice is of God and if it is not of God. But you will find that you can come to the place where you enter His presence in silence and God will begin to speak up within you. There will be no journaling, there will be no prophesying, there will be no speaking in tongues, there will be no noise. It just bubbles up deep inside of you, the still small voice of the Lord rising up into your mind, and God begins to speak to you.

Hearing God's Voice 7: Face to Face Relationship

Now we come to the final way of hearing God's Voice, and that is the face-to-face relationship. In Numbers 12:5 it says:
And the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both came out. Then He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all My house. With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even clearly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of the Lord he will see. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"
It was a face to face relationship. Moses saw the presence of the Lord. He saw that manifestation of the Lord that is called the Angel of the Lord, a theophany. He saw God in a physical form and he spoke to God face to face. Is it possible for us to experience that today? Is it possible for a prophet to enter into that kind of relationship with the Lord that he can hear God's voice and speak to Him face to face? Yes it is. I know because I have experienced it myself.
You say, "Well who are you going to see in the Spirit?" The Scripture says, "There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." Jesus said, "No one cometh unto the Father, but by Me." We do not have to speak through the Angel of the Lord any more. We have One who was God manifested in the flesh. We have One who sits on the throne of heaven. We have One in whom we are and who is in us, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. And it is possible for us to enter into a face to face relationship with Him in the Spirit where we can speak to Him as man to man, as person to person, as friend to friend.

Entering into the Love Relationship
How do I know this is available to us? And how does it become available? It becomes available when you enter into a love relationship with the Lord, where the love of God becomes your consuming passion, and where it permeates your very being. Paul tells us about it in 1 Corinthians 13:9. He says:
For our knowledge is limited and our prophecy is limited. But when that which is perfect has come (or when maturity has come, or when love has come) then the limitations will be removed. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things.
He is speaking about growing up. The Scripture says 'Love is the bond of perfection.' The Scripture speaks about being 'perfect or mature in love.' Paul says:
For now we see through a mirror, a puzzling image, but then we will see face to face. Now I know partially, but then I shall know just as I am also known.

Hear God's Voice: Spiritual Maturity
When is now and when is then? Now is when you have not been perfected in love. Then is when you have been perfected in maturity and in love. It means that you begin to move into a love relationship with the Lord. You begin to move into spiritual maturity. You begin to move more and more into a face to face relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ to where you can say, "Before I saw through a puzzling image, but now that I am in maturity and walking in love, I can see Him face to face. Before I only knew partially. Now I know as I am known."
What does it mean? Paul says:
Where there are prophecies, they will fade away; where there are tongues, they will cease; but when that which is perfect has come, that which is in part shall be done away.
What is he saying? He is saying, "Before, I needed to receive a revelation. I needed to obtain a word of wisdom or a word of knowledge to hear God's voice. I needed to receive a prophetic word from the Lord. But now what has happened is I have come into a relationship with the Lord Jesus where I do not need to hear from Him. He does not have to send an angel to me with a message. I can speak to Him and ask Him myself."
This means I come into such a relationship with Him that I speak to Him and I say, "Lord, tell me about such and such a person." And the Lord says, "What do you want to know?" I ask Him my questions and He answers me and says, "This is the problem. This is what I want you to say to him. This is how I want you to advise him. I want you to tell him this for Me." Then I turn to him and I say, "This is what the Lord says." I go back to the Lord again and I say, "Lord, what must I do here?"
I am walking down the street with Jesus at my side and there is somebody lying there sick. I say, "Lord, what do you want me to do? Can I help on this one?"
I hear God's voice saying, "I want you to go and lay your hands on him, and I want you to speak to that sickness and disease and command it to be healed."
"Okay, Lord, let’s do it."
"In the Name of Jesus, be healed!"
It is quite easy really isn’t it?
It comes when you enter into that close relationship with the Lord where you can speak to Him face to face. It is where He becomes more real to you or just as real to you as any other fellow human being. When you can come into that relationship as the spokesman and the servant of God, then you will find that your whole approach changes and you speak forth what He tells you to speak. You are going to find that you do not have to battle to hear God's voice any more because He is speaking to you directly.

Conclusion
All of these means are available. Any believer is able to hear God's Voice in most of these ways. It is not only restricted to the prophet. But as I said before, prophets have a very special ability to hear. They have been gifted to hear better, to have a greater capacity.
If God has given you that opportunity; if He has given you that privilege and taken you through that horrible preparation that has qualified you to be His spokesman, you need to be using all of these methods to hear God's voice all of the time. So whatever circumstance you are in, whatever the situation demands, you need to be able to hear God's voice. Then you can speak forth His Word into the earth. You can speak forth His Word to people. You can speak a prophetic word, a word of encouragement and exhortation to lift up the body of Christ and to build up the church, to help people identify their ministries. Everything that God has called the prophet to do, all of these you can do, when you have learned how to hear His voice by listening in these seven ways.



-------------

I would try to address  some of the questions posted under the article "Seven ways to hear God prophetically" as much as the Lord permits me. You are free to add your contributions, and please let's be as civil as possible while adding comments. We should do that with a teachable spirit, and in love. I believe the church is still growing in knowledge, but the word is always the final authority regarding any discussion or topic raised, irrespective of our differences.  Also let our contribution be based on the right division of God's word with the help of the Holy Spirit (Revelation Knowledge), and not on personal opinion or experience. As long as your experiences are backed by right interpretation of scriptures, we would be able to relate with them easily. 2Tim.2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". 

The Scriptural Basis for our discussion is Romans 8:14 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God"

Qualification: The basic requirement that qualifies one to hear from God in his heart is being born-again.
In other word, you are not eligible to receive directions in this way unless you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal savior: Your spirit has been re-created. You are a new specie of being that had never existed before, recreated after the image and the likeness of God."Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new". 1 Cor.5:18 .You are alive and alert in your spirit, easy to pick impressions from within. If your spirit is spiritually dead (not born-again), you cannot hear from God and would be unable to discern spiritually.

The  Foundation by which one is developed to hear God accurately is to be grounded in God's word. Develop your spirit by meditating and feeding on God's word consistently. Let that word overfill you and stay prayed up always.Col.3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God". As you give yourself to practizing God's presence through His word and praying in the spirit, you are in for an explosive time in His presence, much more, your ability to discern spiritual things will be heightened. 1 Cor.2:14-15. "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man". The purpose of the Word is to develop you, perfect (make you mature) and established in the principles of His kingdom so you are able to separate the voice of God from that of the devil and his agents. Having said that, the word serves as the only tool by which our leadings are judged and proven. 1 Thess. 5:21 says to prove all things. Prophecies and every kind of spiritual manifestation has to be judged in line with God's word. 1Cor.14:29.

Hearing God

The primary way by which God leads us is through the inward witness otherwise known as inward  impressions. These are spiritual promptings, perception, or intuition you get in your spirit either in the form of a green (go-ahead) light or red (danger or stop) sign. The green light always manifests as joy, excitement, fulfillment, a bubbling forth in one's spirit, while the red light connotes danger, fear depression. Check your heart when faced with any decision, and judge If you take the right or wrong steps by the promptings you receive.
Romans 8:16. "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God"
Other ways by which God communicates His plans to the church or to us as individuals are through the voice of the Holy Spirit; The still small voice or comes as an authoritative voice of the Holy Ghost. Acts 13:2 "And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them". He will also speak via prophecies, word of knowledge, word of wisdom. tongues and interpretatione.t.c.

For the purpose of this discussion, I would zero it down to Visions.

There are three Categories/levels of Visions:

(1) Spiritual revelation- This type of vision is usually the one experienced by most believers. It's an inner vision which can only be seen not with the physical eyes, but with the spiritual. Usually perceived within one's spirit, comes in form of pictures on the mind, imagination etc. I believe lots of revelational visions are seen more than we know. They come in form of flashes especially when you are not thinking about it; Like a picture imprinting in your heart when you least expect. it could be sometimes in the form of a day dreaming, like you keep getting flashes of what God has called you to do. Acts 9:8. "And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus". He heard the Lord speak while his eyes were closed.


(2)Trances- the second level of vision is seeing into the spirit realm within the physical world. You are aware of the physical even though your senses are suspended. You can operate in the natural word then. You either are involved in a movie, or you observe one played before you. Often times, the revelation behind the message needs to be decoded. Acts 10:10-12."and he became hungry, and desired to eat: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance;11 and he beholdeth the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth:12 wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven.13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat". Peter was conscious of where he was, but his senses were suspended..


(3)Open visions;-Finally, and less commonly seen are the open visions where the Spiritual and the physical world co-exist. You see into the realm of the Spirit with your eyes being opened. You may also communicate at that point through your physical senses in the spiritual realm. Now, this is deep and never experienced this before, but I know personally some folks that have either seen the Lord (appear real to them in the physical world), converse with angels sent to deliver messages, or even confront  the devils like they exist physically. Remember the story when Peter was rescued by an angel from the prison. The angel was real,like a physical being would be at that point.

All these encounters are given and distributed as the Spirit wills. 1 Cor.12:11" but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will" They are particularly experienced more frequently in the prophetic offices, but can manifest anytime through anyone as the Spirit decides. You do not direct the operations of the Spirit, never do you ask for it. Do not seek to see visions or dreams as they serve as easy avenues for the devil to utilize. It promotes the operations of familiar spirits especially if one is not well grounded in the world to discern spiritually. They are avenues highly linked to the physical and more sense-based hence the bible warns about the deceits of the evil one. He may sometimes present as an angel of light.

God would have His children develop their spirits basically by studying His word and praying to sharpen one's spiritual alertness.

Isaiah 60:4-5
“ Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, they come to you, Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant,
 And your heart shall swell with joy, Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

Romans 8:15-17
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Wisdom

Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,  A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Proverbs 2
The Value of Wisdom
My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you,  So that you incline your ear to wisdom,  And apply your heart to understanding, Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures, Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.

Who is wise?
Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, The righteous walk in them, But transgressors stumble in them. Hosea 14:9

What you see happening with Israel in the natural is happening to the church spiritually. There are so many people sitting in the pews today that have no clue what is happening!

They will be swallowed up if people don't start praying for the church!

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
