Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

It is a mistake to think that only certain people with unique gifts can hear and see God. 
If I think that it's only for others, then I will disqualify myself because I know I'm nothing special. In doing so I remove myself from ACTIVE FAITH.

John 10:27 - "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

One of the essential gestures of faith is to live with the expectation that the God who said that His sheep hear His voice and who gave His life to
relationship with each of us would like to communicate with us.
This FAITH leads us to lean into His voice -- to learn as the prophet Samuel did:restore

1 Samuel 3:9 - "Speak Lord; for your servant is listening."

Significantly, is was as soon as he learned to take this posture that he gained access to the greater revelation that God had been inviting him into.

AFFIRMATIONS:

The Word says I can hear God's Voice and I believe it

I do hear the voice of God!

"'Rise, take up your bed and walk.' And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked..." (John 5:8-9).

Are you feeling paralyzed by life today, or perhaps blind or lame – physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually? Do you feel like you've been lying by the pool for years, waiting for help, waiting for an angel of God to stir up miraculous healing powers? Well, isn't it fascinating that after waiting for 38 years the man who was healed never did get in the pool? Jesus just showed up on the scene, singled him out, and made him whole.

"And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him." -- 1 John 5:14,15

You cannot ask with confidence until there is a perfect union between you and God, as there was always perfect union between God and Jesus.
The moment you pray you find that the heavens are opened -- having a fidelity and confidence to believe that He will not fail, and cannot fail. We shall never get anywhere if we depend upon our feelings.

There is something a thousand
beter than feelings, and it is the naked Word of God. You must beyeilded to the Word of God. The Word will work out love in our hearts, and when practical love is in our hearts there is no room to vaunt ourselves. We see ourselves as nothing when we get lost in this divine love.times

The confidence comes from our fellowship with Him. There is a wonderful fellowship with Jesus. The chief thing is to be sure that we take time for communion with Him. There is a communion with Jesus that is life and that is better than preaching.
