I’m looking for You, Jesus

I went all over Beijing asking missionaries, “Do you hear God?” “How do you experience Jesus?”  

I began to have precious times with Jesus, all alone, in my room at a small college over an hour north of the heart of Beijing. I felt His presence. He talked to me. Not long conversations, but I began to “hear” Him more and more. 

Over time, I learned to know His voice and the ways He “spoke” to me. I realized he had been “talking” to me for years. I just had not realized it was Him.

My Sheep Know My Voice

If you are a Christian, You hear Jesus. 

John 10:27 (NLT) 

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." 

You are a Christian today because you heard His voice. Keep listening. He's still speaking.

7 Keys to Hearing God Clearly

1.God still speaks to people today.

To hear God, you need to believe that God speaks to people today.

God often speaks to us when we are reading the Bible. The Bible is the Holy Spirit talking to us. God sometimes talks to us in a “still, small, voice” See 1 Kings 19 

2.God speaks from His dwelling place, our hearts.

The Holy Spirit lives in us once we are born again. So, it is only natural we would hear Him within ourselves. See 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NKJ)

When God speaks to us it is often a quiet thought or impression that flows out of our hearts and into our minds. 

3. God gives us the privilege and the responsibility of hearing His voice.

Jesus calls us His flock. He doesn’t drive us like you drive cattle. He walks ahead of us, and we follow Him. How can we follow Him and not someone else? We know His voice. John 10:27 NLT 

4.If you want to continue to hear from Jesus, do what He told you to do.

Once Jesus tells you something, act on it. If you don’t, He may just quietly wait for you to obey. Quietly. I’ve had times when I couldn’t hear Him. I asked why and suddenly I remembered that He told me to do something. Once I did it, I could hear Him speaking to me again. Jeremiah 11:5 (TLB,) Psalm 66:18 – NIV

5.Silence other voices.

There are 3 voices we can hear in our heads: our own voice, Satan’s, and God’s.

Our path to silencing other voices is: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 NIV

6. Does it sound like Jesus?

Everything Jesus says to you will always be consistent with the Bible, with Jesus’ character. Jesus will sound like the Jesus you find in the Bible. Just as you and I have unique voices. Jesus still has the same “voice.” 

7. Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Nothing helped me hear God more than this deeper yielding to God, which is what the 2nd bapti
