Hearing God

Today we hear God by listening to the desires we have that are to do what is right. With the Holy Spirit indwelling us, God directly impacts our desires. By using the renewed mind that we have in Christ and training our senses to discern what is proper and what is wrong we can identify these desires and actually hear what God is saying to us. Not through a quiet voice, dreams, visions, or any other miraculous means, but by simply yielding to the desires we have to do good.

For the flesh desires against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary to each other in order that what you desire these things you do not do – Galatians 5:17

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God – Romans 8:14

And you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you and you do not need to have in order that anyone should teach you but as the anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true, and does not lie, and just as He teaches you, abide in Him – 1 John 2:27

And I say, walk by the Spirit and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh – Galatians 5:16

Communication with God

The twenty-four elders fell down before the One sitting upon the throne and worshiped the One living into the ages of the ages and cast their victor’s wreaths before the throne saying, “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the inherent ability because You created all things and through Your desirous will we are and were created.” Revelation 4:10-11

And that which if we should ask, we receive from Him, because we guard His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him. 1 John 3:22

The Sin Nature – The human nature passed down from Adam that is separated from God in spirit (rational) and has a propensity to do wrong.

God dealt with the sin nature through the obedience of Christ. – Romans 5:19; 6:9,10

Types of Christians

Victorious

But the spiritual one, on the one hand discerns all things, on the other hand, is not himself discerned by anyone. 1 Corinthians 2:15

Spiritual is when we have our mind framed on the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God so that our thoughts are being directed to seek out the things of God, not the desires from the flesh, resulting in seeking to govern our lives by the desires of the Holy Spirit, which are then worked out to show outwardly Christ in us. One who is Spiritual is being led by the Holy Spirit. This is a very rational, logical mindset that views things through the truth of the Word of God.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is an inarticulate babbler. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both proper and wrong. Hebrews 5:12–14

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 1 Corinthians 2:6

Defeated

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal? 1 Corinthians 3:1–4

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19–21

and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:26

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? Galatians 3:1

for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 2 Timothy 4:10

Therefore, I encourage you brethren through the compassions of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable religious service. And stop being outwardly conformed to this age, but to be transformed by your renewed mind, for the purpose to test for approval what is the desirous will of God, the good and well pleasing and mature. Romans 12:1-2

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:15–16
