Hearing and Seeing God - Spiritual Manifestation





Those who are born again
of the Spirit of God, children of God, they can see the kingdom of
God and they can hear the voice of God, but many believers cannot
understand why they do not hear nor see God. We read in John 3:1 “Now
there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him:"Rabbi, we
know that you have come from God as a teacher for no one can do these
signs that you do unless God is with him." Jesus answered and
said to him:"Truly truly I say to you unless one is born again
he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him:"How
can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter the second time
into his mother's womb and be born, can he?" Jesus
answered:"Truly, truly, I say to you unless one is born of water
and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That
which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I say to you, you must be
born again. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of
it but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So is
everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Jesus speaks. His sheep
hear His voice. They listen to Him and they follow Him. Christian
believers cannot understand why they do not hear the voice of God.
What is wrong with them? The kingdom of God is not of this world, it
is of a different dimension. It is of the spiritual dimension, and a
person who is not born again cannot perceive nor experience the
kingdom of God, because the natural man, a normal person, trusts in
his physical senses, his ears and his eyes and his feeling, his
senses. But those who are of the Spirit of God, they have spiritual
perception, and they see God, they hear God.
We read in John 14:16.
Jesus said to His disciples:"I will ask the Father and He will
give you another Helper, that He might be with you forever. That is
the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive because it does not
see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and
will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you
after a little while. The world will no longer see me but you will
see Me, because I live you will live also. In that day you will know
that I am in My Father and you in Me and I in you. He who has my
Commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me and he who loves
me will be loved by my father and I will love him and I will disclose
myself to him." Most professing Christians do not know the voice
of God, they do not hear the voice of God. They do not see the
kingdom of God because they are expecting a physical manifestation of
Jesus Christ. They want to hear Him with their physical ears but He
speaks in our spirit, as we also see happened to the Apostle Paul
when the risen Jesus appeared to him on the Damascus Road. He heard
the voice from heaven that spoke to him, but those who were with him
did not hear that voice. He experienced Jesus Christ but the others
did not experience Jesus, and Paul also wrote in Romans 1:9 "For
God whom I serve in my spirit, in preaching the gospel of His Son, is
my witness."
God speaks to us in our
spirit and if we have not been spiritually made alive and if our
expectation is not a spiritual revelation of Jesus Christ, then we
will not experience Him. We will write it off as something that just
came to our mind, something that we cannot physically prove to
others. The world is looking for tangible proof of Jesus, they want
to physically see Him or else they will not believe. At the same time
they are watching a TV and videos and they believe all the trash that
they see on the TV and in the videos, but when God speaks to them in
their spirit, they do not understand, they do not observe it. They
write it off as some psychological phenomenon. Therefor, if a person
has experienced Jesus Christ then they put him into psychological
ward. They say there's something wrong with this person.
Those who walk with God,
those who know Jesus and experience Him, experience Him in their
spirit. They hear His voice and others don't. They see His kingdom,
they understand his revelation, but others don't. They walk by faith
because they have experienced Jesus Christ for real. They experience
Him by faith in their spirit and therefore because they believe in
His revelation they stay with Him, they follow and they obey Him. The
reason why most believers do not realize or observe when Jesus speaks
to them, when God reveals Himself to them, is that they have the
wrong expectation. They are on a different level. They are operating
on the physical level, whereas the kingdom of God is in a different
dimension. It is in the spirit, because God is spirit and those who
worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
The kingdom of God is not
physical, not the things that we see around us, not the churches that
the religious people build. The kingdom of God is invisible to this
world but visible to those who are born again of the Spirit of God.
The natural man, the person who is not born, again does not hear the
voice of God, but those who are born of the Spirit of God, they hear
the voice of God and they see Jesus Christ in their spirit because He
reveals Himself to them. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit, as we
read in John chapter 14, and he said to his disciples, I read from
verse 19: "After a little while the world will no longer see Me,
but you will see Me because I live, you will live also."
Those who have obeyed the
gospel of Jesus Christ and who have repented and who have received
the Holy Spirit, they have spiritual perception. They hear the voice
of God and they see the kingdom of God. They are truly born again,
they are part of the kingdom of God. Are you born of the Spirit of
God? Are you a child of God" Because those who are led by the
Spirit of God they are the children of God?
May Jesus bless you.

The SECRET of Hearing the Voice of God



Jesus said:"My sheep
hear My voice and they follow Me." He did not say that some of
My sheep hear My voice, all of His sheep hear His voice, but not all
Christians are His sheep; not all believers are really interested in
hearing the voice of God. Most Christian believers are not interested
in knowing Jesus. They are not interested in the kingdom of God. They
just want salvation and they don't want to go to hell.
Some of them want to hear
the voice of God, but for their own purposes, and God is not used nor
abused by men. Jesus Christ is Lord and we are here to glorify Him,
to serve Him, to follow Him and to obey Him. The kingdom of God is
about Jesus. Jesus invites us to follow Him. Jesus promises His Holy
Spirit gifts to those who love Him, who obey Him and who follow Him.
Jesus promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit to all those who obey
Him, but believers are not interested. Some believers have a serious
desire for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and to hear the voice of
God, but then instead of staying with Jesus and persisting with Him,
seeking Him with all their heart, they start listening to the
theologians. They start listening to other Christians, who are not
followers of Jesus, others who are not His sheep and then they follow
after those sheep, instead of seeking Jesus with all their heart.
Jesus said:"Whoever is thirsty, come to the waters and drink."
He invites everybody but not all believers are thirsty. Very few seek
the will of God. They seek their own desires, they do not want to do
the will of God. They do not want to really hear the voice of God and
therefore because they are not serious they never get to hear His
voice.
If we are serious about
following Jesus Christ and we seek him with all our heart then He
will quickly answer us. He will reveal Himself to us, but we have to
press on in. We have to seek Him with all our heart, be diligent, be
persistent and we will learn that the kingdom of God is not about us
and about our desires, it is about Jesus Christ and doing his will.
People want to hear from God for their own purposes. God speaks for
His purposes, for the building of His kingdom. If we are not
interested in Jesus Christ, in knowing Him, in His kingdom, in
serving Him, in being pleasing to Him, then we will not hear from
Him. His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him because they love
Him and they want to serve Him. If you truly seek Jesus and you want
to serve Him, if you want to be part of His kingdom, you will hear
His voice. He will speak to you. He will reveal Himself to you. Jesus
said:"He who has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves
Me, and me and My Father will come and dwell with him and I will
reveal Myself to him." If you truly seek Jesus and you obey His
words, then you will get to know Him for real. He will reveal Himself
to you. He will speak to you. He will guide you. He will teach you
and He will give you understanding; but if you persist in your own
ways, if you trust more in what other people say, if you trust more
in what you read in the Bible, then you can forget about it. Jesus
will not speak to you.
Jesus said to the
Pharisees:"You diligently search the scriptures in there to find
eternal life but you refuse to come to Me to have life." Do you
want life? Do you want to hear the voice of God? Then seek Jesus with
all your heart. Seek Jesus with all your heart and He will reveal
Himself to you.
May Jesus bless you.

HEARING the TRUTH





The Christian world looks
for truth in the Bible. Modern-day Christians each have a version and
a copy of the Bible of their own preference. Some believe in King
James, others in some other versions. What they do not realize is
that the Bible that they have is corrupted.
The original scriptures
were recorded in Hebrew, translated into Greek, and then
re-translated into Latin and from there into all the other languages.
Each and every culture and translator added his own flavor, his own
point of view to that Bible, and therefore, what you have in your
hand is not the truth. But your Bible testifies of the TRUTH, and
that truth is Jesus Christ.
And I want to read from
the Bible for you today to point you to the truth, so that you can
hear the truth, and know the truth, if you seek the truth. I read
from John 18:37. Jesus Christ stands before Pilate. "Therefor
Pilate said to Him,"So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "
you say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and
for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."
Who are the ones that hear
the truth? They are the ones that listen to Jesus, they're the ones
that hear His voice. They are His sheep.
We read in John 10:24 "The
Jews then gathered around Him and we're saying to Him, "How long
will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us
plainly." Jesus answered them: " I told you, and you do not
believe; the works that I do in My Father's name these testify of me,
but you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear
My voice and I know them and they follow Me."
The ones that hear the
voice of Jesus Christ, are His sheep. If we do not hear His voice,
then we are not of the truth, then we are not His sheep; but if we
seek the truth we will hear the truth, because Jesus will reveal
Himself to us. If we obey the words of Jesus Christ, He will reveal
Himself to us.
Jesus Christ is alive, He
is God, He is spirit and He promised His Spirit to come and dwell in
and with those who seek the truth, those who believe in Him and who
obey Him; those who are born again, because they obey His words, they
repent and are baptized, and He fills them with the Holy Spirit that
he promised to those who obey Him.
We read in John 16:7, "But
I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away, for if
I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go I will
send Him to you, and He, when He comes, will convict the world
concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me, and concerning
righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
and concerning judgment because the ruler of this world has been
judged."
We know that Jesus Christ
is not physically on this earth, but He is spirit and by His Spirit,
He teaches and He guides His sheep; they hear His voice.
We read in John 16:12
Jesus said to them, " I have many more things to say to you, but
you cannot bear them now, but when He, the Spirit of Truth comes. He
will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak of His own
initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak, and He will
disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take
of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has
are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it
to you. I will ask the Father and He will give you another Helper
that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of Truth whom the
world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but
you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.”
John 14:18, He says, "I
will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little
while the world will no longer see me but you will see Me; because I
live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in my
Father and you in Me, and I in you. He who has my Commandments and
keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he loves Me will be loved by
My father and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him. Judas
(not Iscariot) said to Him. "Lord, what then has happened that
you are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus
answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word;
and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our
abode with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words and
the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. But the
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He
will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I
said to you."
After Jesus Christ was
crucified and resurrected and ascended to heaven He sent the Holy
Spirit, that was given on the day of Pentecost, and those who
believed in Jesus, the disciples, who had followed Him received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ dwelling in them,
guiding them, teaching them, God with them,Emmanuel, in and with
them, and that is the presence that Jesus Christ promised to His
sheep, to each and everyone who believes in Him who obeys Him; who
obeys His words, who repents and is baptized. He will give His Holy
Spirit in him, to teach him, to guide him. His sheep hear His voice.
Jesus Christ did not send us a Bible; but the scriptures point to
Jesus. He is the way, He is the life, He is the truth. He is the Good
Shepherd and only His sheep hear His voice.
Only those who obey Him,
those who are born again, only they can receive the Holy Spirit;
because the world, the unbeliever, the Bible student, the Bible
believer, cannot receive the Holy Spirit; only those who are born
again; only those who obey the words of Jesus, they are His sheep.
They hear Him, they come to Him,they listen to Him, and they follow
Him, and they know the truth. Do you know the truth?
Do you know Jesus
Christ?Do you hear His voice? Do you come to Him,do you follow Him
every day? Are you one of His sheep? Are you of the truth? Are you of
Jesus Christ, or are you lost?
Come to the truth; come to
Jesus, seek Him with all your heart. He will reveal Himself to you.
He will speak to you, and you will hear His voice.
May Jesus bless you.

The secret of daily HEARING God's VOICE



Jesus Christ said:"My sheep HEAR
My VOICE, they LISTEN and they FOLLOW Me." Also that "they
will not go after strangers because they do not know the voice of the
strangers."
We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do
not KNOW His VOICE, if we do not have the Holy Spirit and if we are
not led by the Holy Spirit. There are many voices going out in the
world and it is only those who know the voice of Jesus who will
recognize His voice and follow Him.
We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do
not GO AFTER Him, if we do not SEEK His kingdom and His
righteousness. Jesus will not go after us. We have to go after Him
and follow Him.
Most believers do not know the voice of
Jesus Christ. Many who are born again never learned to LISTEN to His
voice, they never learned to FOLLOW Him and that is why they do not
know His voice neither do they follow Him.
If we are truly disciples of Jesus
Christ we will KNOW His VOICE. We will LISTEN and FOLLOW Him EVERY
DAY. We cannot follow Jesus part of the time, part of the way when it
pleases us. We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do not turn away from
our own plans, from our own affairs and go after Him, if we do not
put Him FIRST and SEEK Him, seek to HEAR from Him, then we cannot be
His disciples, we cannot do the works that He prepared for us to do.
We have to DENY ourselves and pick up
our cross, FOLLOW Jesus Christ IN SPITE OF persecution, rejection and
temptation. In spite of all that we must put Jesus Christ FIRST and
go after Him every day. WAIT on Him, LISTEN and He will SPEAK to us.
He will guide us and He will teach us.
If we truly follow Jesus Christ we will
hear His voice every day. We might not hear what we WANT to hear but
we will hear what He wants to tell us, what He wants us to know . If
we follow Jesus we will HEAR His VOICE every day.


May Jesus bless you.

Hearing Jesus



There are many voices going out in the world and we have the choice to whom we want to listen, whose advice we want to take. Jesus Christ is also speaking and those who want to hear the truth will hear Him. Jesus Christ sent His Spirit, the Holy Spirit to convict the world of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT. If we want to know the truth and DO the truth then the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth but we need to SEEK HIM and LISTEN to Him.

We have a free choice  of whom we want to listen to. Most people want to listen to those who promise them prosperity, freedom and their own desires. But if we want to know the truth we will listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit who convicts us the moment that we do wrong, who teaches us righteousness and who warns us of judgment if we do wrong.

People say that they cannot hear the voice of God, they are just not listening. They choose to listen to the wrong voices.

Do you want truth? Do you want eternal life? Do you want to be pleasing to God? Then TUNE IN and LISTEN to Jesus Christ. If we seek Him, we find Him. If we ASK Him, He will speak to us. Are you LISTENING to Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.
