How to Hear The Holy Spirit

Many people are insecure about their ability to hear The Holy Spirit clearly.  This message hopes to help people know when they are hearing The Holy Spirit talking to them or placing His thoughts in their mind.

It is important to be able to hear The Holy Spirit clearly as He is your guide to live as Jesus desires you to live and to fight Satan as Jesus desires you to fight Satan.  Remember Romans 8:14, that to be an adopted child of The Father you need to be led (guided) by The Holy Spirit.

Preparatory Prayer

Lord, I want to hear The Holy Spirit so I can do Your Will and be guided to be Your follower and son/daughter by adoption.  I give this desire to You and am sorry for anything I have done wrong in this area.

In Jesus’ Name I command any demons that are blocking me from hearing and understanding the truths The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit want me to hear and understand to go immediately in Jesus’ Name to The Throne of Judgment to be judged.  I ask You, Holy Spirit, to take their place.

How You Hear The Holy Spirit

Unless The Holy Spirit or Satan actually appears to you, they can only interact with you in your mind. When they are speaking it is as if they are your own thoughts or that you are talking to yourself.  People often mistake this for a disorder as if there are apparently two personalities in them when demons are communicating in your mind.  Also when The Holy Spirit is communicating, they usually think it is their own thoughts.  So you need to know who is interacting with you.

If it is not your thoughts then it is either The Holy Spirit or Satan placing them there. You can actually hold a conversation with the Holy Spirit or the demons representing Satan and ask them questions and they will answer if appropriate.  Only answers from The Holy Spirit are 100% truthful.  Demons will answer in a way that helps their purposes for you.

You will need to silence your mind.  You may have trouble hearing Him (The Holy Spirit) especially if you are in a place full of distractions or in a place where Satan rules.  Remember, The Holy Spirit, has a still, quiet, voice.

The Holy Spirit will place an: impression, picture, or thought in your mind, or even speak to you in an audible voice.  You will know it is from Him as it will not cause you to fear or go against what The Bible says.  He may speak in other ways than these, but these are the normal ways.  You may feel a check in your spirit which is a ‘no’.  If He does not reply it is also a ‘no’, so you need to ask Him the reason why He said ‘no’ or did not reply as He may tell you and you may find out more by this answer than by the answer you desired.

The answer He gives you will line up with The Bible, and you will have peace in your heart over it.  Remember, God will not contradict His Word or purposes for you.

Remember also, that Satan will try and cause you doubt about what you are hearing.  Then cause you to reason that it is wrong or impossible so that you believe you are not hearing correctly.  Satan will also at times place fear or other wrong emotions, feelings or sensations in you to cause you to doubt God’s Love, Control, Plans or Purposes for you, to take away your trust in God and your joy in Him and His things He has for you.  At times Satan will block you hearing The Holy Spirit so you need to cast him out and stop him doing this and ask The Holy Spirit again what you wanted to know.  If you do not hear from The Holy Spirit, ask the following:

Is Satan blocking the answer (remember Daniel and the angel who was delayed from giving Daniel God’s Answer)

Are you in a place in which Satan rules so that the spiritual atmosphere is blocking The Holy Spirit?

Are you in sin and do you need to deal with it using the five points?

Are you to ask this particular question of The Holy Spirit?

If you do not get an answer:

It may not be the time to ask

It may not be the time to receive the answer

It may not be an appropriate question to ask

He also may not tell you so that Satan will also not know the answer.

Are you to command demons that are blocking you from hearing the Holy Spirit to leave in Jesus’ Name?

Do you really want to hear the answer?

Are you seriously listening or just going through the motions of listening

The Holy Spirit is your Companion in this life, so it is necessary to be in continual communication with Him as He helps you to navigate the traps of Satan and do the Will of God.  It is He God has promised will teach you all truths and nit just spiritual truths.

 

Develop the habit of being led by The Holy Spirit

Unless The Bible clearly states what to do or it is an emergency you are trained to react in, whenever anything happens do not react or assume things.  Stop and ask Holy Spirit what to do.

Get into the habit of asking Him about situations and problems and listening to His advice before you comment on anything.  Remember that He promises to guide you into all truth and not just spiritual truth (Jn 16:13). Learn to listen as you do your daily chores and activities and He will speak to you about things you need to know and will guide you in the doing of them.  Always walk around with one spiritual ear listening to The Holy Spirit.

Seek to be always in a right relationship with Jesus so you do not block hearing The Holy Spirit.

Remember that we can desire something so much that The Spirit cannot be heard by us in that matter.  But Satan may give us guidance as we are listening only for what we want to hear and not what God desires to say to us.

In summary

The Holy Spirit will never cause you to fear but you will have peace in what He says, even though there may be conviction about something that may not be liked by you.

He will never cause you guilt or self-condemnation as these were dealt with at Calvary and now are put on you by Satan.

Give all your desires to Jesus to be Lord of using The Five Steps and you will remove a blockage to hearing The Spirit correctly.

You will only hear The Spirit to the degree you desire to hear Him.

The Holy Spirit is your guardian and guide, given by Jesus to help you in your Christian walk.  Ignore Him at the peril of your soul.
