How To Hear God - Through Our Conscience

God speaks to everyone through their conscience.

Many of us hear through an inner voice or 'sense' that tells us which way to go.

God normally speaks in a voice that is best described as a 'still, small voice.' It's a voice that we can all hear. Our biggest problem is learning to distinguish the voice of God from all the other voices that speak to us.

How do we know whether the voice we associate with conscience is truly God’s and not merely the voice of our imperfect fathers, or mothers, or families, or friends, or teachers?

The voice of our conscience is the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to our human spirit - or the Holy Spirit agreeing with our conscience.

Jesus said that He would send His Holy Spirit to live in us and convict us of sin - that's the job of our conscience.

God gave us our conscience as a way of knowing right from wrong. It's an inner awareness of what is of God and what isn't.

It often goes with a sense of peace, a feeling of confirmation or a feeling of being troubled.

Some people have difficulty hearing because they have ignored their conscience for so long.

But, as we put ourselves in a position to listen and respond, our hearts will open and the whispering of God’s still small voice will begin to ring loud and clear in our ears.

Here's something to ponder:

"A well-beaten path does not always make the right road."

"Cowardice asks the question,
"Is it safe?"
Expedience asks the question,
"Is it political?"
Vanity asks,
"Is it popular?"
But conscience asks the question,
"Is it right?"
There comes a time when one must take a position that's neither safe, nor political, nor popular, but he must make it because his conscience tells him that it's right." - Martin Luther King Jr.

"Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels good."

"The voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it; but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it." - Germaine de Stael

Are you listening to your conscience?

Is there something you need to do, or stop doing?

Talk to your Father about it. He's waiting for you to respond.
