Knowing His Voice 1

“Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,”
Hebrews 3:7(KJV)

Our opening scripture shows us that the Holy Ghost speaks. These words attributed to the Holy Ghost is found in Psalm 95:7-11. And Jesus tells us in John 4:24 that, “God is a Spirit: …” This means that when the Holy Ghost speaks, it is God speaking. Therefore, we can say that the Bible is the voice of God. So if you want to know what God is saying about any issue, you look at His Word.

In John 16:13 Jesus was talking about the Holy Ghost and He said, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” You will notice in the verse above that Jesus called the Holy Ghost the Spirit of truth. Then Jesus goes on to say in John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” This shows us that the Spirit of truth is the Spirit of the Word. This means that the Holy Ghost always speaks in line with the Word of God.

In 1 John 5:6 the Bible says, “… And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” So if you want to know if it is the Holy Ghost that is talking to you, the words must be in line with the Word of God as revealed in the Bible.

Therefore child of God, don't just go by anything anyone says the Holy Spirit said, it must be in line with the Word of God. That is how you know it is the voice of the Spirit of God; because the Spirit of God is the Spirit of the Word. The Holy Spirit will never contradict the Word of God.
