Hearing the Holy Spirit 

As the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. (Hebrews 3:7–10 KJV)

During the summer of 1996, I met the most important person on earth. Our encounter changed my life forever. This person was unlike anybody I had ever met before. Words cannot describe the way I felt and the exhilarating rush that went through my entire being when I was in this person’s presence; this person was gentle, kind, patient, and infinitely wise.

You are probably thinking that I am talking about my wife, but you would be wrong (although she definitely possesses infinite wisdom).I am speaking of none other than the Holy Spirit. He is the most important Person on earth. Unfortunately, He is also one of the most neglected persons on earth!

Who is the Holy Spirit? I am so glad you asked! Jesus promised in John 15:26, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.” The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Jesus Christ on earth. He is referred to as the “Comforter”; the Greek word is paraklētos, which means “the one called to our side to plead our cause.” Simply put, the Holy Spirit is our divine Helper in the earthly realm. He helps our infirmities. He teaches us how to pray, and He testifies of the risen Christ. He is also the One responsible for manifesting the gifts and power of God in our lives. The question is, how can we receive help from the Helper if we don’t hear Him? You and I must develop the discipline of hearing His voice if we want to live a supernatural life. What is the Holy Spirit saying to you today? Do you hear His voice? Today the Holy Spirit desires to speak to you. Harden not your heart!

Power Prayer

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for who You are and all that You have done. I desire, in the name of Jesus Christ, that I have intimacy with the Holy Spirit. I choose to have a personal relationship with You through Your Spirit. I hear the voice of the Holy Spirit on a consistent basis. I receive strategic direction from the Holy Spirit as it relates to my finances, relationships, choices, occupation, calling, witnessing, and every other area in my life. I love to hear the voice of the Spirit. Lord, I thank You for divine clarity in every area of my life. I declare that there is no more confusion in my mind or spirit, because the water of the Word cleanses my soul. Just like a radio is tuned to a station and receives that particular transmission, I am tuned in to heaven’s frequency and I receive divine insight, wisdom, and revelation in Jesus’ name. I decree that every voice in my life that is not the voice of the Holy Spirit is silenced right now in Jesus’ name! Amen.
