CHAPTER THREE – APPROACH GOD WITH FAITH

JESUS HEARD GOD’S VOICE

The next chapters of this book will cover
three parts.
• Proofs that God speaks to people and that
His words can be communicated to
others.
• How to approach God so that you are
made ready to hear His Voice.
• Practical steps to practice hearing God’s
Voice.
I will use verses from the Bible to indicate
that God speaks to people. It is very
important in these times to be able to
communicate with God for help in making
decisions in our lives. We need to be able to
understand clearly what God is saying,
enough to speak it out to others in our own
language.
First of all, let us start with the expert at
hearing God, Jesus Himself, who spoke the
Father’s Words, Perfectly.

35


Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the
Father, and the Father in me? the words that
I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the
works.

Joh 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what
I should speak.
Joh 12:50 And I know that his
commandment is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak.


Jesus is famous for performing miracles
and in verse 10 above He gives Father God
credit for doing the mighty works through
Jesus. The Father spoke to Jesus and then
Jesus REPEATED what He heard the Father
say. In other words, Jesus had a
conversation with the Father and then Jesus
spoke what the Father said.

36

GOD GIVES US THE FAITH TO BELIEVE IN HIM


Joh 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's
words: ye therefore hear them not, because
ye are not of God.


Here we have undeniable proof that those
of us who are born-again believers, are of
God, and that we can hear God’s Words.
And if we hear God’s Words, then we can
communicate those Words to others. How
do we become “of God” so that we can hear
His words? What does it mean to become
“born again”? How do we approach God so
that we can hear Him?


Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to
please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek him.


37

The very first thing you need is FAITH.
You must believe that God exists. God in
this context is the Creator of all things and
the uncreated One; there exists no other god
beside Him. Once you have the faith that
God exists, then you also need to believe
that He will answer you if you seek Him
diligently. Diligently means to be in
constant effort to accomplish something.
Therefore, if you want to hear God’s Voice,
then you need to keep praying to Him, “God,
I want to learn to hear Your Voice.”
And regarding the FAITH that you need,
please take note:


Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given
unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he
ought to think; but to think soberly,
according as God hath dealt to every man
the measure of faith.


38

So, you see God even gives you the
measure of faith that you need, to believe
that He exists.

GOD IS A PERSON WHO IS HOLY

The next major point that you need to
understand is that God is a “Person”.


Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be
thy name.


See here, that the God of Jesus, is our
Father and a father is a person. God is not
an unknowable force of energy, nor is He a
disinterested one consciousness with no
personality. Besides having faith in God, we
need to embrace Him as a loving Father who
cares for His children and desires one on
one relationship with us.
Next, we need to be made ready to
approach God. We have the faith that He
39

exists. Now we need to know that God is
Holy.
Definition:
Holy
1.
having a spiritually pure quality:
...
1.
inspiring fear, awe, or grave distress:


We will use these two definitions from
Dictionary.com. God is spiritually PURE; He
has no taint in Him, no imperfection or flaw.
He is sacred. Also, He inspires fear, in the
form of awe. And last, He and His presence
might provoke in you, grave distress
because you are unclean in His Presence;
His holiness would consume you.
Here are several verses to ponder:


40

Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom: a good understanding
have all they that do his commandments: his
praise endureth for ever.
Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of knowledge: but fools despise
wisdom and instruction.
Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the
beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding.
Pro 15:33 The fear of the LORD is the
instruction of wisdom; and before honour is
humility.
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall
rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear
of the LORD; (Ancient prediction of the
coming of Jesus)


To fear God is to give Him reverence,
which doing so, is a wise thing to do, and
which reverence gives you understanding.
Also, you become humble in God’s
presence.
41

So, to recap, you need faith that God
exists, you need to consider God as a
Person, and you need to revere God which
gives you wisdom, understanding and
humility.
