If as a Christian, you find it difficult to

 

discern the voice of the Spirit, it’s not

 

because His voice is weak when He speaks.

 

It’s because you haven’t trained your spirit

 

to discern His voice. It’s possible to train

 

yourself to discern the voice of the Spirit,

 

and here are a few thoughts that’ll help

 

you.

 

First, you must develop a voracious appettite for the

 

Word. Study the Word and know it for yourself. The

 

voice of God’s Spirit is made known to you through the

 

written Word. Secondly, learn to act on the Word

 

quickly. When you receive instructions or counsel from

 

God’s Word, don’t delay; act at once. That’s learning to

 

train your spirit.

 

Thirdly, pray the Word. Prayer helps to condition your

 

spirit to become a dependable receptacle of God’s

 

ideas, visions and promptings. So, how you pray, what you

 

pray about, and the content of your prayer, on the basis

 

of the Word, determine how sensitive your spirit will be

 

to His voice.

 

Also, desire spiritual things; things that matter to God:

 

desire them from your heart and pursue them. The

 

proof of desire is pursuit. Engage yourself with

 

activities that’ll edify your spirit such as soul winning,

 

participation in church meetings and services etc. Commit

 

your resources—time, money and attention to the things

 

that matter to the Lord.
