Hearing God's Voice | Teach Me How To Pray (Class 4)

Main message: God still speaks today, and you can learn to hear and discern his voice by grounding your listening in Scripture, the Holy Spirit’s promptings, and wise, godly community — practiced by creating silent space to tune in.

Key points:

• God speaks primarily in three ways: through Scripture, through the Holy Spirit’s promptings/convictions, and through other believers (your “squad”).
• God's voice will never contradict Scripture, brings peace not confusion, and produces faith and transformation rather than fear or condemning shame.
• The Holy Spirit communicates as nudges, peace/unease, convictions, and revelation; his “native tongue” is truth (contrast with the devil’s lies).
• God uses trusted friends, counselors, and spiritual leaders to speak into your life; wise counsel helps discern God’s voice.
• Prayer is both talking and listening — practice silence, solitude, and simple listening exercises (e.g., set a 3-minute timer, repeat a sacred name) to “tune in.”
• Biblical example: Elijah heard God not in wind, earthquake or fire but in a gentle whisper; being still (Psalm 46:10) helps you hear.
