HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD.

Major Ways To Hear From God.

Good morning to you, as you fellowship with us today, I pray that your own life and that of your family will never remain the same. Holy Spirit, visit this person with a new testimony in Jesus name.
God told Joshua, only be strong and courageous. (Josh:1v7).
And in Isaiah:1v19, the Lord Said, " if you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
Now, there are three major ways to hear from God:
1. The inward witness, (Rom:9v1)
2. The Still Small Voice. (1kings 19v12)
3. The more Authoritative Loud Voice. (1Sam:3v8).

In todays class, we shall begin with the "Inward Witness". God still speak, lead and teach us today through the help of right Holy Spirit. That is the main reason, God raised this ministry, to teach people HOW TO HEAR FROM GOD.
THE INWARD WITNESS; This is not a voice, like the still small voice, but like a signal, or a push from your inside, urging you to do something: or stop what you are doing. So the Holy Spirit can speak with a "nudge", in your heart. The inward witness operate by a push from the Holy Spirit to your own spirit inside your heart because they live together.
When he wants to speak to you in this method, He starts pushing your spirit so that he can get your attention to do something. I mentioned earlier that this is the most common ways that God speak to us: the INWARD WITNESS. Sometimes ago, a person told me that he hasn't heard from the Holy Spirit for some days now. While I was with the person, I tried to encourage him that God will speak to him soon.
But as soon as I got home, the Holy Spirit came and told method he speaks to us everyday.
Most often, we don't listen or we don't know. A lot of us are looking for supernatural ways or physical manifestations like thunder or heavy wind. But He said I speak to them everyday and began to teach me the FIVE ways that He speaks under INWARD WITNESS.

FIVE WAYS THE Holy Spirit SPEAKS THROUGH INWARD WITNESS.

1. The Enquiry Method: This comes to fill the gap of waiting to hear from God. Here the Holy Ghost was saying you can ask me for what you want to know about. Provided, you are specific, I will give you an answer. Most times the answer comes to your heart as a '"THOUGHT" or a PUSH of Conviction. This may have happened to you in the past, you say something and someone will ask you you, how you knew that was the right place to go? This time you will answer the person with Conviction and say I can't explain it, but I just knew this is the right place or I just knew somehow on the inside that something wasn't right. That is the Witness of the Spirit, This his how to ask the Holy Spirit the question. Holy Spirit my Father, this is what I am thinking concerning this situation, should I go ahead?
ANSWER: A thought will come to your heart, or a push giving you direction of what to do. In this case, it will not be a voice. What we have establish now is, you can hear from God everyday, this is one of the method. Bible reference, (Judges:13v8. 1Chron: 14v10-14. 1Sam:23v10-13. Acts; 9v6. Judg:20v26-28).

2. The Brief Reminder or Sudden Idea.  This comes very fast, like a sudden reminder to do something. You may not have been thinking of it or along that line; suddenly you are reminded to call someone or go home by 3pm today don't wait till 6pm, or call your wife now, or go to your children room now, out do not invest in that business, mind you this was not your thinking at all.
Initially, your mind was somewhere before it just geared into a new sudden thought of what you ought to undo or to be doing. This new thought, brought to your mind that you need to go home. When this sudden thought comes to you, pls be sensitive and obey instantly.

A TESTIMONY.

Someone shared a testimony with me. She said on a particular day, everything seems fine at home, she was very happy like every other day. The kids gone to school, so  she was handling her daily chores. When suddenly. She began to feel this urge to pray. She was resisting it, asking herself: why should I pray, all is well now. From her point of view, everything seems fine. So she kept pushing the urge away. After a while, the Holy Spirit left her. Our precious Holy Spirit has gone round and found out something was wrong, the enemy was planning evil against her sister, who was pregnant.
So the Holy Spirit, came to tell her by the INWARD WITNESS to pray, so that He can use her prayers to destroy their evil plan but she did not know how to hear from God. You should know what happened.
Few minutes later, her sister called....instantly she remembered that was the reason the Holky Spirit told her to pray. (Ezek:22v30).
Please lets be sensitive, we are spiritual people. When you feel like Praying, even if you don't know what to pray about, start speaking in tongues. The Holy Spirit will use it.

RELEVANCE OF THIS TEACHING.
This teaching reminds us to be spiritually conscious of who we are and listen to the spirit always. (Rev:1v10, Rom:8v6). Please if you have any question, you can leave it in our comment session, and by grace I will respond to it by the help of the Holy Spirit. Good Morning Sweet Holy Spirit, take all the Glory ancient of days.

3. The Perception Method, or To Perceive.  This way of inward inward can be seen as having string assurance fo4r what you know. it can also show clear spiritual sensitivity, especially of what lies AHEAD, or is ABOUT TO HAPPEN, sometimes ago, during one of my study time, as I stood up from the chair, I sensed in my spirit telling me that something is about to happen to me. And it wasn't a good thing. Immediately I REBUKED IT , SAYING it might be negative voice trying to impose trouble on me, that afternoon the message came twice, the second time I noted. Since it was telling me to do anything but just informing me of what lies ahead.
What the spirit was telling me would happen in 4 days time, the following day at about the same hour in the afternoon, I PERCEIVED the message again. This time he added that, "Marvin they are planning evil against you, it will be next week" Not quiet 5 minutes of receiving that second message, a phone call came in. The caller who was one of the people in the meeting where I was being discussed, talked about what the Holy Spirit has been showing me since yesterday, even few minutes ago. The second day, I already knew it was the Holy Ghost that came. But I did not know what they have planned, but I prayed and trusted God. So when the phone call came, my spirit signaled that this is it. So I acted correctly and with the help of the Holy Spirit, the situation was conquered and I had victory to the glory of the Holy Ghost,


4. The Flash Method.  This message when it comes to you, comes in like a flash, as in the form of a picture. it comes in visual form as if is a short vision. ( because you will see the revelation in pictures) like the Lord showing you images.
One has to be sensitive to grasp this message from the flash method, because it occurs very fast; hence FLASH. Sometimes when you get this message, if it is about your hometown, you will see the place being shown to you like a picture or a video. Few months after I was called to Ministry, during meditation one morning; I asked the Holy Spirit please show me the location of the church, so that I can reconfirm what you told me earlier. I was feeling a bit dizzy, immediately I closed my eyes about to doze off to sleep, the Lord showed me the new church in a vision. The church was built in the location God told me and confirmed it with scripture that morning. Our God is awesome. I shared this testimonies to show God still speaks and he to answer us whenever we ask. ( Matt: 7:7-8). In another scripture, He said we ask not, that is why we do not receive. Receive grace to ask boldly in Jesus name. Amen.

Finally, let its see what David saw before he became king, (1Chron:14v2), ....And David, perceived that the Lord has confirmed him king over Isreal, for his kingdom was lifted up on high"

5. The Thought That Comes To You, When Praying In Tongues.  There are messages and instructions coming to us from the Holy Spirit as we pray in the Holy Ghost. Yes, the words that you hear when you speak in tongues is the Holy Spirit, sending messages to your spirit of what you and I need to know or do next. Those "thought method" that drops intermittently, is one way the Holy Spirit speak to us through inward witness. When we have an understanding of how The Holy Spirit speak through these various method of inward witness, hearing from the God the Holy Spirit becomes an easy experience to live by. Hearing the voice of God more often, as much as you care to listen, and as much as he speaks. The Holy Spirit is eager to speak to us daily, infant He speak to us daily, but a lot of us don't know, so we don't listen to receive. He told me, "I speak to them daily".
May the Holy Spirit open up our ear and grant us understanding in Jesus name. Amen.

Let me close with this, I Pray for someone here, as you continue to fellowship with the Holy Spirit, your eyes and ears shall be opened to see and to hear in Jesus name. Amen.

" But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears for they hear". (Matt;13v16)
