Hearing The Voice of God

 The Question:  Given a baptized Christian was seeking God, how does he potentially find God's voice?  Are there some pitfalls there?  

God has a character.  Given someone is hearing a voice or voices, like being schizophrenic, what was the character of the voice? 

-  God is love.  (2 John 4:8)  A lot of Christians will tell you this.  Jesus chastises and rebukes those he loves.  (Hebrews 12:6)(Revelations 3:19) 

-  The Lord is a Man of War.  (Exodus 15:3)(Isaiah 42:13)(Matthew 10:34-37)  A lot of Christians have been selectively reading.  I highlight these verses towards correcting someone's perspectives. Did someone have a Post Modern Mush God?  Understanding that The Lord is a Man of War, it helped correct perceptions.  

- God is love.  God's love fatherly.  Understanding God's fatherly love, God can be playful.  Also, given someone is doing the wrong things and straying, as a father disciplines his son, so the Lord God disciplines a man.  (Deuteronomy 8:5)  

- God has good plans.  God knows every hair on your head.  He created you.  He knows what you like, and knows what you dislike.  He has good plans for you.  

- Don't argue.  This is not a debate. We are not peers like children on a playground.  You don't have to be here reading this.   

Understanding The Character of God is important.  Given someone was receiving something of some other character, that was demon.  Given someone is on a level where they can hear the voice of God, they may be able to hear things "Not God."  There may be Spiritual Airwaves.  Given someone is hearing God, they may have been opened up to said Spiritual Airwaves.  The voice of God may be coming from just inside of man.  He may be also receiving things from outside.  In the Spiritual Airwaves, there may have been demons.  

At this point, someone may have ended up with a terror of God.  Fear of God is a good thing.  Fear of God takes away fear of man.  You are doing the right things?  What do you have to fear?  Perfect love know no fear.  

At this point, we need to highlight "Don't Argue."  Egotistical Christians have in their minds "this is how things should be" or "this is how I would like things to be."  We don't care.  You are wrong.  Learning to talk to God, someone needs to be teachable.  They don't care.  They don't know.  They are not coming into the relationship with a lot of preconceived notions.  In a few weeks or so after being able to hear God, someone may end up hitting the Penitent Man phase of Sanctification.  

There are layers or levels of Spiritual Authority.  What God has someone do, or where God takes someone, that is between that man and God.  There are "Angel Guardians."  The task of the Angel Guardians may be to keep the wrong people out.  Given someone comes into a relationship with God in the wrong way, they wanted to argue, and think they know, a man could end up killing himself.  A man ran afoul some of the Angel Guardians.  

I don't know.  

I don't care. 

Be teachable.  

If the Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not "WANT."  (Psalms 23)  Every time I share this online, someone wants to argue.  Don't argue you.  Given someone is arguing, they are WANTing.  They want things there way.  That is not how it works.  It is ok to have needs.  Desires.  What do you want?  Someone's will is being brought low till it aligns with God's Good plans.  

The Holy Ghost is a teacher and a councilor.    

Post:  "Understanding and Growing in Faith." on In God We Trust Blog.  

God gave me the proverbs in "Understanding and Growing in Faith."  It was fundamental towards progressing.  

Demons are attracted to authority.  I don't 100% know what God would have a man do.  Given a man is content with having a relationship with God, and serving in certain capacities, it is possible he isn't attacked as much.  God shepherded me through it all.  I have ended up oppressed often.  I deal with it.  Oppression may be intrusive thoughts, not characteristic of a man.  I weather through them.  I pray.  I ignore them and seek God's voice.  I have been alright.  I made it.  Don't worry.  Doubt and fear kill faith.  We are working to be in a place where a man is comfortable between God's Rod and Staff.  A lot of people like the good things of God.  A man may also need to understand God's discipline.  He feels comfortable in between.  

God bless.  Growing in faith with God is an adventure.  There may be some hard times, and things that are uncomfortable.  There may be awesome things.  We take them both.  

Addendum -  

A man is learning to talk to God.  He is receiving.  He is walking into a restaurant or through a public place.  He may have been receiving a few things, and being attacked.  Make a decision.  We use reason and faith.  God is love.  God's love is fatherly.  God has good plans.  Make a decision.  

It could be something small.  Where should a man sit at the restaurant?  The man ends up receiving a few different things.  Make a decision.  

Given someone made it this far in faith.....you probably are not going to work.  Most likely, whatever you were doing before, that was before.  You have a new job now.  You are a servant of God.  Trying to fight that, someone may end up feeling like Job.  They may have some bad things happen to them like Jonah till they are doing the right things.  

There are hierarchy of authority.  At someone's job, who was in your chain of command?  There may have been some evil people.   Someone is shepherded outside of these hierarchies till their hierarchy is just God - Man.  This may be a tough transition.  It can be rough.
