I’ve been preaching a series on hearing from God. It never ceases to amaze me that we can have the thoughts of Almighty God revealed to us by the Holy Spirit (Jn 8:47, 14:26). I might get around to posting my notes some day but yesterday I came across a post by Bill Johnson where he answers the question “how do I receive revelation?” It’s worth a read and can be found here.
If you are desperate to hear the Father’s voice, you may click the link expecting some magic answer or formula, but there is none. Bill Johnson will probably tell you nothing you haven’t heard before. Yet I lovingly challenge you to put into action what he writes.
It seems to me the reason many Christians do not hear is they do not make the effort to listen. God does not yield His treasures to the casual-minded but to those who hunger for Him.
Anyway, I’m starting to preach and didn’t mean too. Not today. Go have a look at Bill Johnson’s practical suggestions for hearing from God. They’re good and helpful.
