He Speaks: The Still, Small Voice and the Overflowing Heart

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."
— John 10:27 (KJV)

In an age of noise, distraction, and endless stimulation, the greatest miracle might just be the stillness that allows us to hear God. Many believers struggle with the thought, “Do I really hear His voice?” or worse, “What if I’m making it all up?” This message is a holy invitation to silence the doubts and embrace the biblical truth: God still speaks, and He created you to hear Him.

The voice of the Lord is not always thunder or whirlwind. Sometimes, it is a whisper a peace-filled assurance bubbling from the deepest places of our being. As Elijah discovered at Mount Horeb, God was not in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. He was in a still small voice (1 Kings 19:12). So too, God speaks to us today, not with constant spectacle but with divine intimacy.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (KJV)

This is a reminder that our ability to hear God is not a function of religious striving, but of relational surrender. The Lord says, “I created you to hear my voice and I love to speak to you.” These words echo the foundational truths of Scripture. Hearing from God is not a reward for spiritual maturity; it is an inheritance of spiritual birth.

The Nature of His Voice

The voice of God, as reflected comes through many channels:

  • Peace and Quiet: “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7)

  • Scripture Resonance: When verses come alive or are quickened to your heart, the Spirit is confirming what God has already spoken (John 14:26).

  • Inner Promptings and Ideas: Thoughts to pray, steps to take, warnings, or direction these may be from the Lord when aligned with His character and Word.

  • Emotional Impressions: The Holy Spirit often speaks through strong yet holy impressions. “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13)

This variety is not confusion but a reflection of divine creativity.  “I am not limited in the ways I can speak to you.” That is consistent with God’s nature from burning bushes (Exodus 3:2) to donkey’s mouths (Numbers 22:28), He will use whatever He wills to reach the hearts of His people.

Stillness Over Striving

“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest...”
— Hebrews 4:11 (KJV)

There is a paradox in the Kingdom: we must labor to enter into rest. We are reminded that entering the presence of God is not accomplished by might or effort but by positioning by posturing your heart in agreement with His. This posture is one of surrender, attentiveness, and desire.

The modern world teaches hustle and performance. But God calls us into stillness, abandonment, and glorious love. “There’s no striving to enter My presence...simply positioning yourself before Me to see.” This is what the Psalmist meant when he said, “I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.” (Psalm 130:5)

Why This Matters Now

In this prophetic hour, the ability to discern God’s voice is not optional it is vital. False prophets, delusions, and spiritual deception abound (Matthew 24:24). But those who know the voice of their Shepherd will not be led astray. If you’re uncertain, ask: does what I hear align with Scripture? Does it point me to Christ? Does it produce peace, not confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33)?

Jesus warned us that in the last days, many hearts would grow cold (Matthew 24:12), but the ones who endure are those who stay near to Him. And staying near starts with listening.

A Call to Repentance

If your heart has been cluttered with noise, distractions, or sin, today is the day to return to the place of stillness. The Lord longs for intimacy with His people. He is not distant. He is not silent. But sin hardens the heart and deafens the ears (Hebrews 3:13). Return to Him with humility. Let His Spirit soften you once again.

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD...”
— Isaiah 55:6–7 (KJV)

The Gospel: Hearing Begins with Believing

Before you can discern the Shepherd’s voice, you must first belong to His flock. That begins with the Gospel:

All have sinned.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 (KJV)

Conclusion

The Lord is speaking not to just a few, but to you. Not only through thunder or visions, but through stillness, Scripture, and the quiet bubbling up of peace within. You were created to hear Him. And the closer you draw, the clearer His voice becomes.

Let this be the day you turn off the noise, lay down your striving, and position your heart in surrendered rest. He is near. He is waiting. And He is speaking.

The Prophetic Implications of AI, Blockchain, and the World Financial Reset 📖 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark...

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
