Do we hear His voice?

 'But we realize that even before we take any step—while we are still considering our way— our conscience together with our intuition will protest immediately and make us uneasy at any thought or inclination which is displeasing to the Holy Spirit.'   The Spiritual Man - Watchman Nee

Is this true for you?

Do you know the feeling of uneasiness when you are doing something you know is wrong? Does the voice of your conscience rise up to warn you?

Some people don't have this voice speaking to them because they don't have their spirit renewed by the new birth through Jesus Christ by the water and the Spirit. They don't know the Holy Spirit and don't care about knowing the Holy Spirit.  We might find it strange that others don't feel moved by blatant sin. We can read all about the horrors going on in our world and we ask ourselves why, how, because we just do NOT understand the things people are capable of. Then we do things, or think things ourselves and can't believe we ourselves do things so awful and displeasing to our Lord.

In this war we can be influenced by the spiritual evil surrounding us, so we quickly plead for forgiveness when we are convicted of our own awfulness.  Those who never feel the need for pleading for forgiveness, or know the voice of the Holy Spirit are not of God and we have to pray they come to know God. We have to pray that we ONLY following the true voice of the Holy Spirit and not any deceiving spirit.

Gal 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

Gal 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Joh_10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me

Joh 10:4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 

Joh 8:43  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

Do we hear His voice?

We need to hear His voice.  We need to have our conscience influenced by the Holy Spirit all through the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior. We cannot produce the Holy Spirit in us, it is a gift, a gift we so desperately need.

Please, Lord and Savior, please live in us, let the Holy Spirit live in us guiding us in all ways! Please, by Your will, through Your grace!

Thank you!

Amen.
