Key Takeaways:

• God's voice is more commonly a spiritual manifestation rather than an audible, physical sound.

• Biblical references, like the use of parables and the call to have ears that truly hear, emphasise the importance of spiritual receptivity.

• Personal experiences with hearing God's voice often involve internal, thought-like messages rather than external sounds.

• There is a significant distinction between thoughts originating from oneself and those that are divinely inspired.

• Listeners are encouraged to be open and attentive to the spiritual voice of God in all aspects of their lives, not just in prayer.

Notable Quotes:

• "God's voice is more a spiritual voice than a physical one."

• "They can hear physically but not hear spiritually."

• "I pray that the eyes of your heart will be opened, that you could receive the revelation of the spirit, that you can receive God's love."

• "The voice of God still comes on the stage of our minds."

• "We don't need to wait for an out loud voice. We need to be ready in prayer or whatever we're doing for that Holy Spirit voice to come and speak to us."

The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit. When we choose to follow Jesus, the Spirit speaks to remind us of all that Jesus established and apply it to our lives.

So how does the Spirit speak? How do we know it’s God? And what happens afterwards? Join Rev Dr Tania Harris as she explores what the Spirit is saying to us. Everyday God Conversations will encourage you weekly to reflect on the God-conversations of Scripture, the ultimate God-conversation in Jesus and to hear from the Holy Spirit yourself. Remember, it was never meant to be a one-way conversation!
