I received an e-mail from a Child of God asking how I hear the voice of God and if I hear an audible voice. She is one up on me, because I do not hear an audible voice as she does. The voice of God comes through my Spirit. As I was reading her e-mail, the Holy Spirit fell upon me very strong and put the following poem at my fingertips. This is how I hear the voice of God - through the Holy Spirit.

It is so strong that I cannot even question if it is from God. She spoke of tingling on her body and her fingers as she hears God's voice. This is how I know that the Holy Spirit is speaking to me - I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so close that I just put my hand in His and he does the talking and I do the walking on the keyboard.

When you feel the slightest presence of the Holy Spirit, open your heart and just say 'Here I am Lord - Use me, speak to me, I am your empty vessel.' Just wait for what the Lord puts on your heart. He knows your heart and knows when you really want to hear from Him. It is not only when you are in trouble - it is a daily walk with your hand in His.

As I prayed for this precious Child of God, I ask the Lord to show her how I hear from Him and this poem for this precious person came flowing from the Holy Spirit to my fingertips.

THE VOICE OF GOD

My daughter, I chose your ears to hear.
Because your mind is centered on me and your path is very clear.

Don't be concerned about what others may say.
Your ears are open to help others clear their way.

Speak out what I have put upon your heart.
My words will help give others a fresh new start.

My children who do not walk closely with their hands in mine,
Only have a glimpse of me from time to time.

My arms are always open calling my children home.
But through misunderstandings their minds continue to roam.

You are my witness to bring to them my light.
You're to tell them I am always by their sides through this fight.

The battles will always rage.
The enemy will always try to take center stage.

My words I speak to my children in many ways.
Until I can speak in person in only a few days.

Listen for my voice and pass my words on to those who fell they cannot hear.
Show them how close I walk with them and remove all fear.

My precious children can hear my voice.
Sometimes they feel it is not my voice and turn away, making the wrong choice.

My daughter you are to walk with me side by side.
Show my children to me they can confide.

You hear my voice because you have listened to my knock and opened the door.
You have opened up your heart and are asking for more.

I will always be by your side, your hand in mine and your footsteps I will guide.
Tell others how to open their hearts and the flood gates from Heaven will open wide.

My daughter I am well pleased that you come boldly to the Throne.
You are willing to take that step to help melt those hearts made of stone.

My daughter keep your footsteps in mine,
and together we can show others how to taste of God's New Wine.
