Does God still speak today, and how do I hear Him?
By Matthew (Tolu) Olowoyeye
ScriptureJohn 10:27
Yes, God still speaks — and His clearest, most reliable voice is Scripture, which is why we call it His Word. Any impression, feeling, or prompting must be tested against the Bible; God never contradicts what He has already said. Learn to recognise His voice first by saturating yourself in what He has plainly spoken. Beyond Scripture, God leads through the inner witness of the Spirit, through wise counsel, through circumstances, and at times through a strong sense of conviction or peace. These are real, but they are confirmed, never overruled, by the Word. Hearing God is less about technique and more about relationship and attentiveness. Sheep know their shepherd's voice because they spend time with him. Quiet your life, open His Word, and learn to listen. Scripture: — “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Take this step: Build a short daily “listening” habit: read a passage, then sit quietly for two minutes asking, “Lord, what are You saying to me here?” Write down what comes, and test it against Scripture.
Prayer
Father, thank You for meeting me in my questions. Give me wisdom to understand Your truth, faith to trust You where I cannot yet see, and grace to walk it out today. Anchor my heart in John 10:27. In Jesus' name, amen.
