Psalm 62:5

In Hebrews 4 we learn that Jesus Christ is our great high priest. This means that Jesus, God himself, mediates for us as we seek to come into the presence of God. So the first key to hearing the voice of God is to come before him through Jesus Christ, for without Christ we can’t truly have a relationship with God. As Hebrews 4:14-16 beautifully expresses:

Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. .  . . Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

1 Corinthians 10:13

Many times in life God will actively shut doors in your life so you are unable to move forward. It’s in these times where it is much easier to know the will of God for your life.

Proverbs 20:5

Would you rather be married or would you rather be single? Do you want to start dating now or do you want to wait until you finish your educational goals? Do you want to keep the career you have or do you want to try something new? Should you keep attending your home church or is God calling you somewhere else?

Deuteronomy 18:21-22

How can you tell the difference between God’s voice and the voice in your head? How can you know if God is speaking to you or if you are just making his voice up so you can feel free to do what you want?

Here are 3 differences between God’s voice and the voice in your head.

James 4:2-3

While the Bible is clear that God’s grace can always save us from sin, this does not mean that there are no consequences in our life when we rebel against God. We are certainly not saved by our works and we definitely cannot earn any blessings from God. Everything good we have is because of the gospel work of Jesus Christ.
