People often ask: “How do you hear The Holy Spirit’s voice? Do you hear voices? Does He speak in dreams, visions, pictures and parables?

“Does He show you metaphors, puzzles, analogies, enigmas, rhymes and riddles? Could you sense His presence and is it possible to smell His fragrance?

“Did He really speak to Moses through a burning bush and could He do the same today?”

The answer is yes to all of the above questions. Although it’s rare to hear the audible voice of The LORD, He certainly could choose to speak this way if He pleases.

He wants to visit us, open our eyes and give us encounters. The Holy Spirit speaks in so many ways but we must learn to discern His voice. We must learn to filter out our own thoughts and tune in to His.

Television and radio stations are transmitting sounds at all times, but we will only hear them when we turn them on.

In the same way The Holy Spirit is constantly transmitting sounds and speaking to us but we must tune in to the frequencies of heaven to hear Him speak.

Our brains process sixty billion bytes of information per second. All our thoughts converge from what we hear externally and internally.

Thoughts from our history and our presence mingle together and create thoughts and emotions which result in fear, anger, happiness, joy etc.  A particular scent could bring up memories from our past. So how could we learn to discern His voice?

“I AM” 365 Names of God CDThe other day I was playing a CD from 2002 in my car from John Paul Jackson titled “I AM” 365 Names of God.

The presence of God (The Shekinah Glory) filled my car like a cloud just as it did when I played this CD nineteen years ago. I was caught up and separated from the world around me.

I was thinking to myself, what happened that seemed to take the body of Christ so far off course?

We used to soak in the presence of God for hours back in the day. I believe that Christians have taken their eyes off Jesus.

I’m not saying that is the reason why we are in tumultuous times, but if we got back to that personal intimate relationship with The LORD and spent time in His presence, we will be able to shift the atmosphere once again and the world around us would have to respond.

As I was listening to this CD, I heard The LORD say, “There is a New sound arising!”

It’s a sound coming from heaven. It’s the sound of revival, it’s the sound of restoration. It may seem as if the body of Christ is on the titanic right now and we are going down, but The LORD says, “You shall NOT go down but My Body shall rise again.

Just as Lazarus was dead with no sign of life, you will rise again. Just as Ezekiel spoke to the dead bones and they came to life, You will see the coming of the Glory of The LORD in the land of the living in these latter days,”says The LORD.

He is calling us to get back into that secret place and fill ourselves with His Word, then He will rise within us and overflow our being.

Storing up the Word of God in your heart is crucial in sensitizing yourself to hear His voice. Store up His word as a treasure within your spirit, then you could draw from it.

Pray in the Spirit to strengthen yourself and de-clutter your mind. Train your senses to discern good and evil. He will begin to speak to you in a way that only you could personally understand.

When you ask Him for bread, He will not give you a stone. Ask Him for Wisdom and rRvelation so that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened and you will know the hope of His Glory.

“God is a Spirit: and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”John 4:24.

“But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak his own message, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify me on the earth, for he will receive from me what is mine and reveal it to you.” John 16:13-14 TPT.

“But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.” Hebrews 5:14 TPT.

Blessings in Christ Jesus,

“Be thankful for all that I have already done for you and all that I AM in your life,” says The LORD.

“I will inhabit your praises, and I want your heart to rejoice in My Goodness and mercy that are everlasting for you.

“You have been given priceless gifts that are good, and I will never withhold anything good from you. I have much more for you to discover that is reserved for you.

“The enemy cannot steal, kill and destroy My Plans and Purposes and he cannot unseat you from My Presence, destroy My work in you, or rob you of your blessings that will only enrich you and give you that which cannot be removed from you,” says the LORD.

“I will give you unspeakable joy in My Presence, regardless of what is happening all around you,” says The LORD.

“You are safe and secure in My Arms that embrace you. My table that is set for you will furnish you, nourish you, fill you. My pavilion is a refuge for you.

“You have everything to be thankful for, and as you enter into My presence with thanksgiving, you will posture yourself to receive those things that I have already prepared for you that BELONG TO YOU.

“As you are seated with Me, at My table, you will enjoy intimate friendship and fellowship with ME. You will be fat and full of My blessings, and they will not be depleted or cease to be poured out onto you in the midst of the enemy that cannot receive these benefits of My Kingdom.

“You will, and your joy will be full as I satisfy your mouth with GOOD things, and give you more than enough, because you belong to Me,” says The LORD.

“Peace is My prescription for you,” says The LORD.

“I AM not the author of the chaos and the outrageous things that the enemy is planning are NOT of ME.

“My Peace is what I have ordained for you, and even in the midst of the most hideous disruptions, you can be still and KNOW that I AM your GOD in the midst of it all.

“You can rest. You can have assurance that I will bring order to the disorder, and you are safe and secure in Me,” says The LORD.

“Be calm. Be quiet. Be at peace,” says The LORD.

“For you are going to soar like an eagle, high above the raging storms of life, and they will not impact you at all, as you entrust everything to ME.

“I will take care of you and grant you the desires of your heart, and empower you to not only overcome, but to stand on the necks of your enemies.

“You will not be a victim of circumstances that have NOTHING TO DO WITH ME and what I have created you to be and ordained for your destiny purposes.

“Just relax in Me until the storm passes over, for I AM your pavilion, and you are secure and well provisioned in Me,” says The LORD.

“Attend unto My Word, and it will BECOME you,” says The LORD.

“For as you feast on My Word, you will become fat and full of My bread of life that will more than sustain you.

“You will be full of blessings, contentment, and furnished unto every good work that I have ordained for your life.

“I AM your life, and there is life in you as you partake of My Word. It will not fail, and neither will you. Every promise will be fulfilled, and you will be blessed to become a conduit of blessings,” says The LORD.

“Believe every promise, and watch it happen right before your very eyes,” says The LORD.

“Others will mock you and scorn you, but don’t let that stop you! They will put their hands over their mouths when they see the fulfillment of those thing I have promised you.

“You will not be disappointed. You will be an example of what My Word will accomplished and your life will BECOME that written Word that will impact the lives of others who will not be able to resist the truth that will be displayed in your life, because you have put MY WORD first, and honored me with your faith that will be fully rewarded,” says The LORD.

“As you sing My Praises and worship Me from the depths of your heart, do you realize that I AM singing your praises?

“You are the work of My Hands, and I AM PLEASED with MY WORK, and have declared that it is GOOD.

“The heavenly host sing unto Me praises, and they also sing yours, for they see the good works that you do that glorify ME,” says The LORD.

“Even as I said of old, “Have you considered My servant, Job,” Do you not know that your name has been mentioned before the Father?

“Angels know your name. Devils know. I AM your Creator, and YOUR GOD, and have designed you and built you meticulously and wonderfully.

“You are in My thoughts, always in My sight, and I will sing about you, and give you great grace and glory as you glorify Me, honor Me, and obey My Voice and follow Me.

“This pleases Me, and you will be a vessel of honor that I will use mightily for My Glory, as you abandon yourself to Me, make Me The LORD of your life, and faithfully serve Me,” says The LORD.

I heard, “My Freedom Fighters, My Brave Hearts, the Good Samaritan Soldiers, leaving none behind.”

I saw Soldiers of Christ. The enemy’s arrows were flying all around. There were some who had fallen. They were wounded, downtrodden, depressed and oppressed by the devil. They felt rejected, broken, and alone.

There were some walking by them ignoring them, condemning them and even worse some were even kicking the ones who were down. But there was a Soldier sent by God. He saw the fallen ones and his heart was filled with compassion.

The Warrior of Warriors was living on the inside of him. He had died to self and The LORD of Hosts was living through him. He was wearing Glorious Armor of Light which completely blinded the enemy to his actions.

The Love that came from him demolished every stronghold! Despite the danger, he reached out his hand to the fallen ones and picked them up and carried them out of danger.

“Beloved. Pick up My fallen ones. Do not pass them by but lift them up. This is your calling, My Warrior.

Not to condemn but to love and to bind up and to heal in My Name. I have called you to LOVE one another. I will back you every step of the way, My Warrior. Carry them back home to Me.

Stretch out your hand of compassion. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; cast off every work of darkness for I have dressed you in My Glorious Armor of Light.

The fallen ones shall recognize you by your love for one another. Bring back My lost ones. Lead them back into their Father’s Arms. I have not given up on even one. And neither should you, My Child.

You fight to free the others from the hand of the enemy. Thank you, Brave Heart. The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I AM come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Fear not. I have you surrounded. I AM your Strength and your Shield. Do not fear the fiery darts of the enemy. They shall fall to the ground harmless. Walk by the Spirit, My Soldier.

You are hidden in Christ and you shall overcome by the Power of My Might. I AM He who sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down.

The world may be a battlefield but I have you covered from head to foot in My Armor of Glory. The Prodigals are coming home and you are My Bold Warriors of Compassion who will seek them and find them and carry them home to Me.

I raise the poor from the dust, and lift the needy from the ash heap, I shall make you sit with nobles, and inherit a seat of honor!

Well done, My good and faithful Ones. You are My Good Samaritan Soldiers chosen, commissioned and anointed for such a time as this!”

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”John 13:34-35.

“He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with nobles, and inherit a seat of honor; for the pillars of the earth are The LORD’s, and He set the world on them.”1 Samuel 2:8.

“The LORD sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down.”Psalm 145:14.

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I give thanks to Him with my song.” Psalm 28:7.

“In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”” Luke 10:30-37.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10.

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13:12.
