HE RELATES WITH YOUR SPIRIT
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him
in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
God relates with your spirit, not your mind or
physical body. When He talks to you, He
talks to your spirit. Your spirit knows exactly when God
talks and what He’s saying, because your spirit knows
God. His nature is in your spirit, and that’s where His
light is as well: “The spirit of man is the candle of
the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly”
(Proverbs 20:27).
Your spirit was created to know God’s voice.
God may not speak English, French, Portuguese, or
any other earthly language when He talks to you, but
you’ll hear Him in your spirit in whatever language
you understand. He’s a master communicator. If
you’ve never heard Him, chances are, you’ve not
been listening from your spirit or you haven’t trained
yourself to respond to Him.
God and His Word are one, and He speaks to
you from His Word. Everything He says is always
consistent with His Word. Therefore, the more you
study His Word, the more you familiarize yourself with
His voice, and are able to respond to Him when He
speaks to you.
Now, since God relates with your spirit, your
response to Him and to circumstances must also be
from your spirit, for faith is the response of the human
spirit to the Word of God. You must see yourself
from the perspective of God’s Word, and respond to
circumstances, interpret and deal with issues according
to the Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the ability to hear and
recognize your voice. I walk in the spirit, and not in
the flesh. My spirit is trained and energized by your
Word to hear and discern your voice as you lead me
in glory, and righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
