“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God”. – John 8:47(KJV).
Every son knows the voice of his father. Even where several men gather together and speak, the son will be able to pick out the voice of his father. Why?
Firstly, the son would have heard that voice several times and would have been used to the way the voice sounds.
Secondly, because the son would have interacted often with his father, he would have noticed some mannerisms that are peculiar to the father.
Thirdly, the father would have peculiar ways of addressing his son such that the son would have taken note of.
This is the same way it happens between God and his children. God has specific ways by which he deals with each of his children. That’s why John 8:47(KJV) says“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God”.
Conversely, those specifics and mannerisms cannot be decoded by a stranger. So anyone who is not a child of a God will not hear His voice.
Do you hear God’s voice? He communicates with his children in different ways; by still small voice speaking to your mind, by loud voice just like two men speaking to each other, through other children of God, through His word and through Christian messages among others.
You need to know how God speaks to you. Understand the mannerisms and tone.
Prayer: Father, please show me how to recognize your voice when you speak with me.
