Summary of "How to hear the voice of God (the frequency of Holy Spirit)"
How to hear the voice of God / tune to the frequency of the Holy Spirit
Core idea
- Hearing God is a learned skill — likened to tuning into a frequency. It is usually experienced as a consistent energy or feeling rather than an audible voice.
- The Holy Spirit commonly communicates as thoughts that carry a distinctive feeling or “signature.” Learning that signature-feeling makes it easier to recognize His voice.
- Contrast in outcomes:
Personality-driven fruit: overwhelm, anxiety, stress, frustration, confusion, noisy progress that costs you. Holy-Spirit-driven fruit: peace, stability, security, healthy and godly progress.
Practical tests to discern whether a prompting is from the Holy Spirit
- Does it conflict with Scripture?
- God will not instruct you to do something that contradicts what He has already revealed in Scripture.
- How does it make you feel?
- The Holy Spirit’s voice does not produce shame, fear, greedy pride, or anxiety. It produces humility, a sense of protection, confidence (not self-reliance), gratitude, and peace.
- Is it specific?
- The Holy Spirit typically gives counsel that is appropriately specific to the situation or identity issue — not vague platitudes.
Major obstacles that prevent hearing
- Fear — reroutes faith toward negative outcomes and blocks spiritual perception.
- Unforgiveness — harboring bitterness breaks access; genuine forgiveness (blessing/praying for the other) must be processed.
- Unsubmission / self-reliance — failing to ask and submit removes the posture that invites counsel.
- Unprocessed emotions — suppression or escape keeps feelings lodged in the body; processing them (with the Holy Spirit) prevents them from coloring perception.
Key practices and methods (actionable)
- Make prayer and seeking counsel from God your first step, especially before important business or life decisions. Ask for a “green light/red light.”
- Practice persistently: ask, seek, knock. Spiritual hearing develops through repeated practice.
- Obedience: follow the guidance you do receive — obedience increases clarity and future access.
- Increase trust and certainty: believe God will respond; doubt slows or stalls the process.
- State control: cultivate a receptive emotional state — humility, brokenness where appropriate, and freedom (avoid fear and pride). Pray for your heart to align with God’s (e.g., “break my heart for what breaks Yours”).
- Ask God to:
- Silence competing voices so you can distinguish impressions.
- Give you the “mind of Jesus” so your discernment aligns with His counsel.
- Use imagination as a portal — God often communicates through images, visuals, or an imaginative sense. Practice with small decisions (e.g., what to wear) to build sensitivity.
- Record and track confirmations: keep notes of visions, impressions, dreams, and confirmations to build a reliable pattern of recognition.
- Start small and play: ask God small, trivial things to train sensitivity and trust.
- Ask for the promised outcome or next step (what He promises you to do), not only “why.”
Emotional and inner-work practices (self-care)
- Express rather than suppress: create safe ways to grieve, cry, and confess. Regular emotional processing improves spiritual receptivity (e.g., ask the Holy Spirit about past hurts and allow the feeling out).
- Forgiveness as a healing practice: actively forgive and bless those who hurt you to clear spiritual and sometimes physical blockages.
- Avoid projecting unresolved internal states onto external circumstances — clean up the internal first.
Productivity and decision-making tips
- Always bring major business and life decisions to God first; seek clarity before acting.
- Submit your personality and drive to the Holy Spirit to avoid toxic “progress” that costs health or peace.
- Treat discerned guidance as practical counsel — expect specifics about identity or strategy that can’t be rationalized away.
- When you receive instruction, move in obedience to accelerate alignment and confirmation.
Additional keys & mindset
- Persistence, obedience, and trust are core keys to maintaining and growing the ability to hear.
- Certainty matters: when you pray, hold expectation; doubt undermines movement.
- Repetition and review: revisit teachings, sermons, or recordings — new layers often reveal themselves on repeated listening.
- Avoid using spiritual hearing as merely a transactional tool for prosperity; it is primarily about relationship and counsel.
Recommended practices to start tomorrow
- Ask for a small confirmation (for example, which shirt to wear) and note the impression or feeling you receive.
- Before any important choice, pray for a green/red light and request the mind of Jesus.
- Ask God to silence competing voices and to help you forgive anyone you are still holding against.
- Journal impressions and check them against the three tests: Scripture, feeling/fruit, and specificity.
- Keep practicing daily persistence even when results are slow; build repetitions.
