Ever sometimes feel your voicemail from heaven is full? Like you know you need to know something but you don't know how to GET to the message? How do you HEAR the Holy Spirit?

What is the structure? How do I tap in? I have a feeling of deep unease and I know that this generally means it is my spirit pinging me. Experienced brethren, How long do you usually pray till you get the answer or "flow"? Please I need serious counselling. All atheists will be banned.

The answer is very simple, develop a relationship with Christ Jesus and all your doubt will be cleared, this things are better experienced than told.

To develop a relationship with Him you have to spend unique quality time in His presence daily, if you desire to partake in the Heavenly gifts and experience the power of the highest then you have to be earnest, for this is not for jokers but serious minded people.

Yes this is the same kind response I get every time. I need more practical specifics. My question is HOW do I spend the time? What is the structure? Spend time doing what?

The only way you can hear the Holy Spirit is by studying the word of God that was primarily written to you. God will not physically talk with any man in this age, but through His word that represents his spirit. Discerning of this word of God puts you in a state of spiritual fellowship with God.

I believe you're matured enough to understand the term Grow in The Spirit. all you have to do is love what He loves(Holiness) and hate what HE hates(sin). keep desiring for spiritual revelation from God and in time you will over hear sef.

You need to pray more, read your bible and perhaps try fasting. Hope it all works out for u.

Thanks babe. Just trying...

I'm tired of the same ol' norm. I'm just at the point where I want it real or not at all. I'm sure HE feels that way too...

When you pray, fast and read d bible, d holy spirit's connection with you will come as a series of suggestion which u might think it was your own suggestion but alas it is d holy spirit. The holy spirit tend to raise d bar each time you overcome a hurdle. That is what is called strecthing your faith. I was fasting and praying and also reading d bible when d holy spirit put in my mind why don't you try dry fasting. Normally I do wet fasting 6 am to 6 pm, but on this occassion d holy spirit put in my mind to try dry fasting that is no food and no water or fluid. I thought to myself can I really do that? but to my own surprise, i have not only did it, it is now a norm in my daily life. The holy spirit put it in mind that any good christain should a matter of routine practise spiritual exercise just like a sports man goes to d gym to exercise any chridtain worthy of that name should engage in spiritual exercise. For now my fasting days are every mondays and thursday dry and one wet during d week but not compulsory. You should learn to throw your faith from time to time, like quoting what jesus said in d new testament when praying.

The experience is better felt than described. Just as Friends will discuss,He's always There.

Some of the responses here will seem cliche to you bro until you begin to see the effects. In other words practice makes prefect. I remember when I was learning to hear too, it all seemed so frustrating but now it seems so effortless. You just have to do it bro; fast, prayer, praise, worship and study all in your secret place. The best time to hear is when you have quietened your spirit after freeing your self in all the aforementioned activities.

It is hard to describe internal processes because the "taste", "smell" and "textures" can't be transcribed to physical analogs. Words like still small voice don't really cut it, they just point you in the right direction but don't really make you know what to expect. So stop fretting, you only fill your spirit with confusion. Believe that He wants to communicate and approach all the aforementioned activities with that at the back of your mind i.e. that you are about having a conversation. These are not simply "spiritual exercises", you are about to have a conversation albeit one without the familiar physical tools.

I agree with u on this.
@Op, even if one prays from morn till night, if you don't live a holy life, u can't hear nothing. when u pray too, try not to put ur mind elsewhr but focus on your prayer. Pray quietly in a quiet place. U don't need to shout when talking to God. The more quietly u speak to God, the more u hear Him speak.
I never used to believe God speaks until one day in church when we were asked to pray quietly(2 months after i became born again). Do u know I prayed that God shld do something for me, and I swear I heard a voice (what I should do). I didn't know what happened, I opened my eyes, looked around, didn't see anybody, I closed my eyes again and I still swear to you that immediately I closed my eyes again, I heard the same instruction again. I was scared and just sat down and closed my eyes.

God indeed speaks! All u need do study the bible daily, pray regularly and live a holy life.

@labaks, Pardon my lateness on asking.. I really want to know if That voice was As though Someone talked to you, or It was in the form of a suggestion(The type that comes from the heart during decision making).

If it was sumtin from the heart, I would still doubt God speaks. It was a clear quiet voice like someone talked 2 me..

SOme say its a form of suggestion that calms all fears, Others say, its a voice thats difficult to resist or disobey. Did it fall between any of these?

The holy spirit is very sensitive to unrighteousness & He withdraws if He has warned you & yet you continue.Check for whatever there may be in your life that's keeping the Holy Spirit away.He's your spiritual access to hearing from God.

That feeling uhn
Well for me,... i am weak in fasting (whether wet or dry) and normal type of prayers
so when I feel that restless stiring hit me, .. i kick around for a while
and then listen to many sermons
the message finally drops in tucked in one of them, and it eases the restlessness
