Hosea 6-9; Hebrews 3

Hebrews 3:15 " Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

What an amazing blessing it is to know that we have the opportunity to HEAR the VOICE of GOD. Throughout my walk with Jesus I've had the amazing opportunity of hearing His voice on multiple occasions. How... you may ask,... have you heard the voice of God? Well, I'm glad you asked. ;) Once I heard Him speak to me with an audible voice. Most of the time I hear Him speak to me through His written word. Other times there is an inner voice and I even hear Him speak to me through others who are speaking on His behalf. There are so many ways that the Lord communicates with us. He is an excellent communicator, but sometimes we aren't very good listeners. We are not positioned to hear him.

I believe the greatest hindrance to listening to His voice is sin, especially the sin of unbelief. Some people don't believe there is a God, let alone one who is speaking today. Sin hardens their hearts, blinds their eyes and plugs their ears. Fortunately the Holy Spirit continues to convict of sin and soften hearts. If you turn from your sin and turn towards God you will hear Him, loud and clear. When you hear His voice, don't rebel, and don't let anything drown out what you've heard. Hold on tight to what you've heard and follow His instructions. He will lead you places you've only dreamed of.

Are you positioned to hear His voice? If not, I encourage you to position yourself, because He is speaking today!

Following Jesus Christ,

Pastor Juan
