Do You Hear What I Hear?

Sunday Am Meditations

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" John 10:27

Reading an article from the website NeverThirsty.com on "Voice of God - Who Can Hear the Voice of God". What caught my interest is I usually struggle to define how I feel God speaks to me. I think one can come off sounding like they heard like the prophets did, audible voices. That is not what I mean when I say God speaks to me. How do you explain God speaks to you in the biblical definition sense?

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26.

Often this is the verse that comes to my mind when I feel the spirit is speaking to me. I am not referring to when I just remember things. It is not me suddenly having a deep philosophical thought on my own. To me it is often on that road to "Emmaus" in my life. When all my thoughts are on God's Word, and events that have just happened. Before Christ opened the two disciples understanding of scriptures, they were expecting a savior in this world. I tend to look for Christ to answer problems in my life with physical results. I don't necessarily see Christ walking with me, talking with me as I am looking for his response that way. But that moment when Jesus opened their understanding of scripture. There is an uncontrollable amount of joy that overcomes my spiritual and physical state. I want to run and tell others. Oftentimes, it can be just little things at at time.

Ongoing...Follow-up scripture references.

Deuteronomy...every word out of the mouth of God....doth man live.

Refer article...God breathed....word of God....

Refer verse God says we live...spiritually by (hearing) every word

While troubleshooting, the code remained the same; it was something external that changed. Consider inputs and outputs. The Bible is our code, and it is we who change, or our spirit reveals and opens the code to us.

Review following scriptures:

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:10-16

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God Revelation 19:13

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16

Greek meaning inspired is "God breathed".

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
