As we continue this series, looking at different ways God speaks to us as his children.

Today we're going to look at what it means to hear God's voice.

The idea of hearing the voice of God is something I get asked about all the time.

And I think it's because, honestly, it sounds kind of crazy.

But scripture and Christian history tell us clearly that God loves to communicate with his people.

So may he guide each of us into a fuller understanding of what it means to hear his voice.

And may we grow in grace and confidence today to make space, to simply listen to whatever it is God wants to say.

Welcome to the first 15 podcast. ...you know. Our scripture for today comes from John 1613.

Scripture says,

When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth

for he will not speak on his own authority but whatever he hears he will speak and he will

declare to you the things that are to come.

God desires to speak directly to you.

As a good Father, he longs to engage with you in continual conversation. So great was his longing for communication that He's given you the gift of the Holy Spirit.

You now have access to the heart of God through the Spirit.

You can know His will, hear His voice, and live with the knowledge of his love.

John 1613 says,

When the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.

For he will not speak on his own authority,

but whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will declare to you the things

that are to come. If you are a Christian, the spirit of truth has come. He dwells within you. He longs to tell you

how God feels about you. He longs to guide you how God feels about you.
