(Good News Translation)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing God&#8217;s voice is as simple as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#1 \u2013 Quieting yourself down (stillness)<br>Go to a quiet place and still your thoughts and emotions.&nbsp;There is a deep inner knowing in our spirits that each of us can experience when we quiet our flesh and our minds. Practicing the art of biblical meditation helps silence the outer noise and distractions clamoring for our attention.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#2 \u2013 Fixing your eyes on Jesus<br>As you pray, fix the eyes of your heart upon Jesus, seeing in the Spirit the dreams and visions of Almighty God.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#3 \u2013 Tuning to spontaneity<br>Recognizing that God\u2019s voice in your heart often sounds like a flow of spontaneous thoughts. Therefore, when you want to hear from God, you must tune to chance-encounter or spontaneous thoughts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>#4 \u2013 Two-way journaling<br>Record the vision. This was not an isolated command. The Scriptures record many examples of individual\u2019s prayers and God\u2019s replies, such as the Psalms, many of the prophets, and Revelation. You can find that if you obey this final principle, you can amplify your confidence in your ability to hear God\u2019s voice. You can even come to a place where you can make living out of God\u2019s initiatives and instructions a way of life.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The information I have provided here is just the beginning.
