Hearing God
Today we hear God by listening to the desires we have that are to do what is right. Since the Holy Spirit indwells us - those who are in 'The Christ,' the body of Christ - God directly influences our desires. By using the renewed mind that we have in Christ, through training our senses to discern what is proper from what is wrong, we can recognize these desires and identify God’s will for us in any situation. This does not occur through an audible voice, dreams, visions, or any other miraculous means, but rather by yielding to the desires we have to do good, and testing each situation to determine what it the will God - what is well-pleasing to Him.
The Holy Spirit Impacts Our Desires
For the flesh desires against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to each other in order that what you desire these things you do not do – Galatians 5:17
We are Led by the Holy Spirit
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God – Romans 8:14
We are Taught How to Abide in Christ by the Holy Spirit
And you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you and you do not need to have in order that anyone should teach you but as the anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true, and does not lie, and just as He teaches you, abide in Him – 1 John 2:27
We Govern Our Conduct by the Desires from the Holy Spirit
And I say, walk by the Spirit and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh – Galatians 5:16
The Holy Spirit is Our Comforter
In whom also you, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, in Whom also you after believing you were sealed by the Holy Spirit of the promise – Ephesians 1:13
The Spirit of the truth, the One the world does not have the inherent ability to receive, because it cannot watch Him, nor experientially know Him, but you experientially know Him because He remains alongside you and will be in you – John 14:17
