Learning to Hear Holy Spirit’s Voice
When I ask for wisdom, guidance and clarity, Holy Spirit comes to me in different forms. Sometimes it is through another’s words or actions; often it is many people carrying the same message. Then at those unhurried, uncluttered thinking and ‘doing’ moments, I hear a quiet Voice penetrating my thoughts with wisdom. A sense of peace fills my heart center, spilling over into my entire body like a fountain of cascading warm water. While in prayer I have also felt the arms of Jesus fold around me. The “light bulb” moments are the most exhilarating and may occur at any given moment. The clarity is so brilliant with wisdom, followed with a Voice implanting a “knowing” of His words deep in the core of my heart. At these moments I laugh to myself, for the answer was so simple.
The most treasured of all moments happened the fall of 2003. I called out to God for help while walking through the valley of the shadow of death. My granddaughter had been given a few short months to live in this world. Her fight with leukemia was coming to a close. My heart broke in two; I kicked and screamed, “No, no, no, not this precious gifted child! She is only 6!” After my temper tantrum, I quieted down. In prayer I asked for direction from the core of my soul, my heart was bleeding from the pain. “Please,” I begged, “Don’t take this child!” The words I heard were loud, yet soft and tender in my head. “All will be well my child. She is in good hands.”
The following months as I continued to lift her up to God, I believed she would live. During the holidays she was a vibrant, laughing 6-year old who only needed to rest more often. A few short days after Christmas she began to fade and passed away on January 4th, 2004. The Voice of the Holy Spirit was solid and strong, gentle and comforting, guiding me through her passing.
Holy Spirit’s Voice comes in many forms, depending on how you need it and in the manner you will hear. It takes sitting in quiet, bringing in words of sincere thanks for all you have, and then be still in your heart. Holy Spirit comes when you are ready to listen.
As you learn to recognize this beautiful Voice, ask, “Is this my ego talking or Holy Spirit?” For me I know by the deepening of the warmth in my heart center. Ego could never simulate the warmth of God’s Love.
