How to Hear From God

01Understanding God's Language: A Guide to Spiritual Discernment

Ever wondered why your prayers seem to hit a brick wall? Or why you can't seem to decipher the answers to your prayers? Well, it's not because you're not praying hard enough or that God is ignoring you. It's more about understanding the unique language of God and developing spiritual discernment. God's language isn't like human language. It's not always about spoken or written words. It's more like a radio frequency that you need to tune into. Just like you wouldn't expect to hear your favorite radio station on the frequency of another, you can't expect to hear God if you're not tuned into His frequency. In her book, Joyce Meyer shares an instance where she felt a strong urge to pray for a friend. It wasn't a voice she heard, but a strong feeling that she couldn't ignore. That's one way God communicates. Understanding God's language is one thing, but discerning it is another. Spiritual discernment is like a filter that helps you distinguish between truth and deception. It's like having a compass that always points to the truth, no matter how confusing or chaotic the situation may be. Joyce Meyer shares a story of a time when she felt a strong urge to make a decision that seemed right but didn't feel right. She prayed for discernment and realized that the decision was not in line with God's will for her life. That's the power of spiritual discernment. God communicates in various ways - through signs, dreams, and feelings. These methods are not typical of human communication. For instance, you might have a dream that seems too real to be just a dream, or you might see a sign that seems too coincidental to be just a coincidence. These are some of the ways God communicates. Joyce Meyer shares several instances in her book where God communicated with her through dreams and signs, guiding her in making decisions that aligned with His will. Understanding God's language and interpreting His messages correctly can help in making right decisions. It's like having a GPS that guides you to your destination. When you understand God's language and interpret His messages correctly, you can make decisions that align with His will. Joyce Meyer shares a story in her book where she had to make a major decision. She prayed for guidance and felt a strong sense of peace about one option. She knew that was God guiding her to make the right decision. In conclusion, understanding God's unique language and developing spiritual discernment is crucial in our spiritual journey. It's not about hearing a voice from the heavens but about tuning into God's frequency, interpreting His messages correctly, and making decisions that align with His will. So, the next time you feel like your prayers are hitting a brick wall, remember to tune into God's frequency and ask for spiritual discernment. You might just find the answers you've been looking for.
