Hearing from God is not uncommon, as it should be a daily experience. However, today's method of hearing from Him isn't like in ancient times when He would communicate through visions and dreams, or even more clear than that which would be from His own mouth, as in an audible fashion. Now, that's not to say He can't talk to us through any of those methods as He can do as He pleases. It's just that through the years we have distanced ourselves from Him which naturally drown out His voice, or can confuse His voice with others.
In today's episode, I concentrate on the book of 1 Samuel 3:1-11 where young Samuel was working in the Tabernacle of God. Even though He lived and served in the Tabernacle, he did not know God, as in personally until one day God's voice chimed in, several times too. Even though Samuel heard it, he thought it was the high-priest, which tells us how more often than not, we can easily mistake who's actually talking to us, thus is why we must understand how open hearts leads to open ears in order to to hear and discern when God is truly speaking to us.
Please note that this is to the best of my current knowledge and understanding. I encourage anyone to please check and verify as the scripture encourages believers to do so. There may be times where I have overlooked and/or misunderstood information by mistake which is why verifying is important if you feel lead by the Holy Spirit to do so.
