My sheep know my voice...
When I became a baby Christian, I thought everyone could hear God the same. Then I started doubting that what I was hearing was from God and would go to others to have them tell me what they heard. God didn't like that, He wanted me to talk to Him, know Him, hear His voice.
So at a conference, He had a Prophet look me in the eye and turn away. But He also sent me a man, Norman Audi, who helped me to hear. To block out the enemy and my own imagination by binding them in Jesus's name. To ask forgiveness for any sins and then test the spirit to see if it agreed that Jesus Christ is my Savior and died for me. Then he would give me questions to ask the Lord. I turned to ask Norman a question that I wanted to ask God and God gave me the answer before it came out of my mouth.
WOW! It was amazing.
I know God sent me this man just to talk to me because I was waiting on the coffee line and didn't want coffee.
Norman was on his way to the men's room when God told him to get on line.
And God knew that if the Prophet had told me to trust what God was saying, I still would have had doubt. He knew that the only way to get me to believe was to have the Prophet turn away. When that happened, I smiled and said, "I've got it now Lord. Thank you"
Norman wrote a book called He Who Has An Ear. It made it so easy to hear God that I've bought and either sold or gave away more then two dozen of these books.
And it will be different to everyone.
I had a friend that I gave this book to and she would only be able to ask simple yes and no questions in the beginning. For yes, she would feel all warm and fuzzy, no, she would hear nothing. Now she sees answers in short visions, never realizing that God could use our imaginations (hum, we bound those before praying so it was God)
I no longer bind the enemy or my imagination in Jesus's name. I reached a point where God told me to stop. I know what His voice sounds like to me. Like my conscience... and in my own way of talking. I will only do it if there is something important that I know I don't trust myself wanting a certain answer or feel the enemy influence.
Boy, I seem to have written my own book here but our Testimonies are to help others.
Oh, it also helps to try talking to Him in a quiet time, without distractions.
I usually play Worship music, seems to help.
