Tune My HeartSýnishorn

“All Scripture is inspired by God.” –2 Timothy 3:16 (NASB)

One sure way to know if you’re hearing God’s voice is to line up what you hear against the Word of God. God will never tell you to do, think, or say anything contrary to His Word. If you have a thought and you don’t know if it’s God or not, you can look it up in the Bible and settle it right away.

The Spirit of God will only tell you to do things that will give you a more abundant life. Every change He tells you to make is designed to bring blessing and grace into your life.

He isn’t going to tell you anything that doesn’t match His Word. God always agrees with His written Word, and His Word always agrees with Him. In fact, Psalm 138:2 (NKJV) says He has magnified His Word even above His Name. 

That means God has put His Name on His written Word the way we would put our name at the bottom of a contract. He has given us His Word as a covenant and signed it in the Name of Jesus, by the blood of Jesus. 

Since God cannot lie, there is no way He will ever do or say anything contrary to that Word. He has absolutely joined Himself to it forever.

God trains us to recognize His voice through His written Word. He uses it to tune our spiritual ears to what is real so that we can easily recognize a counterfeit. When you’re trained to hear God’s voice in His Word, the enemy won’t be able to sneak deceptions in on you. 

When your heart is in tune with God and His Word, you can live in confidence knowing that you are hearing from Him.  

Prayer:  “Lord, Your Word says Your sheep know Your voice and we will not follow the voice of a stranger. Help us to know Your voice -give us ears to hear.  Let our hearts be in tune with what you are saying to us.  We praise and thank You for it, in Jesus’ Name.”
