How to Know You've Heard From God

God has been talking to people since the beginning of time. The bible reveals that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He still talks to His people. He loves to fellowship with His children. God will talk to anyone who desires to hear from Him and is willing to listen for greater wisdom, knowledge and revelation. Here are a few ways one can know he has heard from God.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Become acquainted with how God communicates with people by reading and studying the Word of God.
2. Recognize that God communicates and speaks to mankind in many ways. Sometimes He speaks through the Word of God, through life's experiences, through dreams and visions, through people and even audibly. Your answer may even come through a song or a child.
3. Believe in God's Power, His Word, His ability and how He operates.
4. Take Him at His Word. When God gives you an answer to prayer or simply chooses to speak to you and you really believe in your heart that God has spoken to you, then only believe.
5. Ask God to confirm what you believe you have heard from Him. God will give confirmation generally by two or three ways or people (witnesses). God is such a merciful, loving God that He will actually confirm His word and promise to you time and time again.
6. Trust in the Lord and do not lean to your own "limited" understanding. God is supernatural and works in supernatural ways. Cast down all fear, doubt and unbelief.

Tips & Warnings

• When God speaks, your mind will fight it because natural understanding fights against spiritual understanding (revelation). Once God has confirmed His word to you, however, continue to cast down all doubt and unbelief and keep on believing and obeying God.
