1. Through Scripture/the Word: The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it is through studying and meditating on Scripture that we can hear the voice of God. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 emphasizes that when we receive the Word of God, we accept it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the Word of God.
2. Through Impressions and Thoughts: God can speak to us through impressions and thoughts that come to our minds. Job 33:14-15 says that God speaks in various ways, including through dreams and visions, to turn man aside from his deed. Sometimes, God can impress upon us a specific direction or decision through a persistent thought or feeling in our hearts.
3. Through Dreams and Visions: In Joel 2:28, it is prophesied that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and people will have dreams and visions. These dreams and visions can be a way for God to communicate His will and purpose to us in a supernatural and symbolic manner.
4. Through your Inner Witness: Romans 8:16 speaks of the Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God. This inner witness is a sense of peace, confirmation, or assurance that comes from the Holy Spirit within us to guide us in making decisions or discerning truth.
5. Through Prophetic Utterance: The gift of prophecy is mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14:3 as a way for God to speak to His people through individuals who are anointed to give prophetic messages. This can involve speaking forth God's word, encouragement, exhortation, or comfort to others.
6. Through Circumstances and Confirmation: Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Sometimes, God can confirm His will through providential circumstances or events that align with His plans for our lives.
7. Through Christian Counsel: Proverbs 11:14 highlights the importance of seeking wise counsel from fellow believers in making decisions. By consulting with trusted Christian mentors, pastors, or friends, we can receive guidance and discernment from others who are walking closely with God.
8. Through Fasting Promptings for Service: Acts 13:2 recounts how the early church leaders were fasting and praying when the Holy Spirit directed them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for a specific ministry. Fasting can be a way to seek God's will and receive promptings for service or missions.
9. Through Stillness and Silence: Psalm 46:10 encourages us to be still and know that God is God. In times of quiet reflection and solitude, we can tune our hearts to hear God's voice speaking to us. By being silent before the Lord, we can listen and discern His will for our lives.
10. Through Gifts of the Spirit: 1 Corinthians 12:7 lists various spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit bestows upon believers for the common good. These gifts, such as wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, tongues, interpretation, and others, can be used to discern God's will, minister to others, and build up the body of Christ.
