Hearing From the Holy Spirit
Hebrews 3:15 – "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."
In a world filled with complexities, manipulations, temptations, and deception, hearing from the Holy Spirit is essential for every believer. As followers of Christ, we are sent out as sheep among wolves. Jesus instructs us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). This delicate balance of wisdom and gentleness is not something we can achieve on our own—it requires the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Guide, and Teacher, leading us into all truth and filling us with divine wisdom. He enables us to discern God’s will and purpose at every moment. Jesus promised that the Spirit would dwell in believers and communicate with them:
John 16:13 – “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
The Need for Faith, Patience, and Sensitivity
Hearing from the Holy Spirit requires faith, patience, and spiritual sensitivity. The Bible says, “The just shall live by his faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). It takes faith to listen, obey, and walk in the Spirit. We must also be patient in learning how He speaks and how to discern His leading. Developing this sensitivity comes as we grow in our relationship with Christ.
The Spirit’s guidance always aligns with God’s Word, produces peace, and leads to righteousness. If we desire to hear Him clearly, we must be grounded in Scripture, open to His leading, and sensitive to His voice.
James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
God has been speaking from the beginning, and He still speaks today—not just to a selected few, but to all who believe in Him. Our task is to learn how to recognize His voice and walk in obedience.
Over the next few days, we will explore key ways to recognize the Holy Spirit’s voice and cultivate spiritual sensitivity. The more we walk in step with Him, the clearer His voice becomes. Let us seek Him daily, trusting that He will lead us into all truth.
Scripture Readings:
- Proverbs 1:20-33
- Hebrews 1:1 – 2:4

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to hear Your voice clearly every day of my life. Teach me to understand Your guidance and walk obediently in Your will. Remove every weight and distraction that clouds my heart and hinders me from discerning Your voice. Fill me with Your grace and anointing so that I may serve You victoriously. In Jesus' name, Amen.
