The Third Timeless Truth for Powerful Prayer:

We inherit the ability to pray and hear His still small voice. How are you hearing His voice?

The voice was firm, but quietly as the teacher spoke, “Class, be quiet.” My first grade teacher captured the attention of more that twenty students who laughed and talked with a faint tap on the desk and a small voice. This powerful way caused a quiet hush to settle over the class. She continued to teach and control us with that still small voice. One by one we stepped to her desk for instructions in our math assignment.

I loved that teacher, who later became my aunt by marriage. I found out that she doesn’t always speak in that still small voice, which was her way of causing us to listen for her. So, listen for Him, Jesus is always speaking to us in some form that affects us in a powerful way.

Scripture Encourages Hearing the Father’s voice to dialogue with Him

Such Examples are as follows:

“Jesus answered …‘My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me’” (John 10:29).
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 2:11 ESV).
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17 ESV).

As we hear His voice, we hear our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ, the Son of God said He came to display an image of our Father in heaven. Since Jesus lives inside us by His Spirit, we hold the same opportunity and privilege to display our heavenly Father to others by the way we live. Our relationship and communication with our Heavenly Father is critical, in order to know Him and hear His voice.
