To hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, one must be free from mortal sin - this is the main obstacle to hearing. Three Bible truths will help you hear God for yourself. But before that, I note that because of the lie that it is difficult to hear God's voice, many have stopped looking for Him or are in a state of uncertainty. If you study the Bible, you will see that people of faith, like us, made mistakes, had flaws, but they knew His voice. Requirements to hear the Voice of God: 1. Silence and peace; 2. Word from Holy Scripture; 3. Obedience to the Word of God. Dear listeners, your faith boils down! Reject the false claim that the voice of the Holy Spirit is difficult to hear. Avoid empty chatter on social networks. Fear, uncertainty about the future and various voices in the information space are not silent, but constantly distract us. We have to rise above this noise. Three traps that prevent us from hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit. 1. Spiritual muteness. The example of Samson is very instructive here. Of course, we know that the Holy Spirit does not leave believers. but in the book of Judges we read how Samson's path of temptation silenced the voice of God in his life. The Holy Spirit tried to warn him of the danger, but Samson was too self-confident due to the impression of spiritual deafness. 2. Self-confidence. Christians should not be paranoid, hyperbolizing and constantly worrying. Some wait until the heavens open and God's voice is heard and do nothing in their daily ministry. On the way to Asia, the Holy Spirit stopped Paul and helped him realize that the work of evangelization is directed by God, not Paul. Often we are so sure that we cannot stop and hear His will. We should not wait for personal confirmation, but without communicating with God and without asking Him, we can fall into the trap of self-confidence. 3. Trap of tradition. God commanded Moses to strike the rock with a rod so that water would appear. Then, when Moses gets into a similar situation, we see that God no longer tells him to beat the rock, but to speak the word so that water will flow. But Moses decides to do as before. That is, we can assume that he followed the usual action, tradition, and did not listen to the voice of God. So often we believe that in order to hear God we need to do as before. Our strength is not in the system, not in tradition, but in obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit. We can hear the Voice of God, but not understand it. Jesus says that the sheep listen to His voice and understand Him. Based on this, we can realize whether we are really disciples of our Lord. The voice of the Holy Spirit will be easily distinguished if we know the Word of God. If you want to distinguish between the voice of the world and the flesh (eating, sleeping, illicit sex, etc.) then you should know that these voices are trying to copy the voice of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is recommended to learn to distinguish between them. Father Yuriy Zelinsky. Using the guidance you will hear in this program, you will begin to clearly distinguish the voice of God. I encourage you to believe that God can be heard, but I note that it is impossible to hear the Holy Spirit if you do not have Him inside you - Father Yuriy Zelinsky. _____________________________ ????????
