Hearing God Speak

Father, I am willing to hear fully what You want to say to me. I want to be a deliberate listener with the intentions of judging Your Word to be true; then applying it to my life. Help me, O God to put away my own thoughts or interests, so I can hear what You are saying to me. Help me to apply Your biblical meanings of “hearing” to my life in order to reap the benefits of truly hearing Your voice. Help me, my Father, to master the gift of truly hearing so I may enjoy a relationship with You. “Be still and know that I am God.” (Ps 46:10)

Help me, my Father to cultivate the quietness of waiting on You and meditating on Your Word. Open my understanding to the truth of Your Word. “Unto Thee will I cry, ‘O Lord my rock; be not silent to me.” (Ps 28:1)

Father, many sincere believers have erred in their interpretation of the scriptures and have preached error as truth, bringing harm to the body of Christ. Help me, to be sensitive and discerning to Your voice as well as submissive to other men & women of God, who can confirm or correct my revelations. “Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses” (2 Cor. 13:1)

O Abba Father, help me to always remember Your messages to me. Write them on the tablets of my heart, before the enemy tries to defeat me by causing me to forget Your words. Thank You for the wonderful way You have changed me, as You revealed Yourself through Your Word. “But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting…to those who keep His covenant, and who remembers His precepts to do them. (Ps 103: 17-18)
