How to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you

Then the Spirit said unto Philip, “Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.” Act8:29

                Some call the Book of Acts, the Acts of the apostles” but a better name is “the Acts of the Holy Spirit.” It was the Spirit that spoke. The Spirit that empowered. The Spirit that directed. The Spirit that filled.

                The Spirit of God still speaks. There is power all around me in my house. It flows in the walls, thousands of volts, enough to kill every living thing in it. But the power is only accessible through the electrical outlet. If I do not stick some conductor in, the power is worthless to me. Likewise, there are invisible radio waves floating through the air. They are all around us, all the time. But they are meaningless unless you tune into their frequency. So it is with God. He is always speaking, but do we have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying?

                When was the last time you felt led to lead a specific individual to salvation? Do you think the Holy Spirit is not preparing souls right now? He is convicting the world. He is being poured out upon all flesh. He is drawing all men to Jesus.

                If you need direction in life, you do not need to listen to your heart. You must listen to God’s heart, through the voice of the Holy Spirit. Will you listen for His Spirit today?
