Hearing GOD’S Voice: Part 17

Faith comes by personally hearing GOD’S Voice!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

16 But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word (rhḗma) of God.

FATHER will talk to you by HIS Holy Spirit if you will quiet your soul and listen.  HE wants to have an intimate relationship with each of us more so than an earthly father.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 5:

15 After this miracle, the news about Jesus spread even farther. Massive crowds continually gathered to hear Him speak and to be healed from their illnesses.

16 But Jesus often slipped away from them and went into the wilderness to pray.

And Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 14:

22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

Jesus found the need to separate Himself to pray and listen to FATHER’S Voice… we need to follow His example as well.  Jesus separated Himself from all distractions.  He revealed this necessity when He spoke in John chapter 14:

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask (FATHER) anything in My Name, I will do it.

15 “If you Love Me, keep My commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-

17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Jesus instructed us in prayer as He revealed in Matthew chapter 6:

5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe Me, they’ve already received their reward.

6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And Your Father, Who sees all you do, will reward you openly.

7 When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like the Gentiles do, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words.

Jesus said “when”, not “if”.

Jesus spoke about faithfully carrying out the (rhḗma)Word in Matthew chapter 25:

14 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’

21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’

23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

You can only be faithful if you have personally heard the (rhḗma)Word from Our Heavenly Father.  When you do, you will produce good fruit for the Kingdom.
