Check out my interview with Tammie Codwell diving deeper into these scriptures on discerning the voice of God. Click the image below or here to watch!
1. In order to discern God’s voice, you must be seeking Him. Being intentional, deliberate and fervent about hearing from God means you must seek Him out in the same manner.
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
2. How’s your Bible Study Routine? Discerning the voice of God requires the Word of God. Your time in the Bible should be a priority at all a times but especially when you need to discern the voice of God.
Romans 10:17
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
3. God has already spoken. Often we want to turn God’s “no” into a “yes”. It’s not the fact that God hasn’t spoken to you, it’s because you want a different answer.
Luke 6:46
Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
4. As a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit is always speaking to you. The fact that you want to hear from God is an urging of the Holy Spirit. If you don’t hear God, follow Him and you will find your way to His voice.
John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
5. To discern the voice of God, you must take active steps to renew your mind. The world is cluttered with so many distractions and mis-directions that we cannot hear from Him. Make it your daily practice to renew, replenish and refine your mind with the Word of God.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
6. God does not yell or scream at you for attention. His whisper…still, small voice – is the way He speaks to you. Eliminate any internal mind clutter and external noise so that you can discern the voice of God.
1 Kings 19:11-12
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

Good advice ! IT is all about being intentional isn’t it?
Yes it is!
I feel a little tough love here… And it’s great! Just because we don’t like His answer doesn’t mean God’s not speaking to us! If you want to hear from God, get in His Word! Yes, and AMEN! So much truth here! Blessings!
Thanks Liz! He’s always speaking no matter what!
To discern the voice of God, you must take active steps to renew your mind. The world is cluttered with so many distractions and misdirections that we cannot hear from Him. Make it your daily practice to renew, replenish and refine your mind with the Word of God. This is such an important point and one that should be practiced daily. I can take in so much garbage in a day and forget the importance in having a renewing mind that focuses on God’s perspective and not that of the world. Thank you for this wonderful blog post.
Absolutely Tona! Renewal is an extremely intentional act. God bless and thanks for stopping by!
