| Very often, the Holy Spirit is depicted by a dove, however, it reveals itself in many instances as a "voice" |
When you say you want to hear from God, what do you mean? Some people think
hearing from God is hearing what their Pastor or Reverend Father has to say,
better yet, they think it's getting their Pastor's or Reverend Father's
opinion on an issue. Well if you thought so, you thought wrongly!
Your Pastor or Reverend is not God!!! He or she is subject to biases and sentiments, just like every other member of the congregation and is equally battling for his or her own place in Heaven, JUST LIKE YOU! Sure thing, they know A LOT, but they're human beings so they don't know it all. Take your professors at school for instance, they know A LOT after so many years of training and teaching but don't know it all!
Before the coming of Christ, God spoke to prophets directly and they carried "what the Lord said" here and there. After the death of Christ, he left us the "Holy Spirit" (a.k.a The Helper), to help us out of troubles, confusion and to DIRECT us. [John 14:15-31]
God is a trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Therefore, in the year 2011, the equivalent of hearing from God is "HEARING THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT" not the voice of the Pastor or Reverend Father.
Now that we've settled that, how do you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in the year 2011? In most cases, very devout members of the church congregation have it as a free gift from God. Some are born that way while some develop it over time, after periods upon periods of highly devoted worship. Some Reverend Fathers and Pastors (not all) have this gift too. A number of them stepped into ecclesiastical work after they discovered their gift so they could help people. In most cases though, it's ordinary members of the congregation that have this gift. To hear from the Holy Spirit when your spirituality is not on the level that permits you to hear it's voice just yet, you go to these people for counselling or consultation. It's free!!! If the Bible can't address your issue, the Holy Spirit can!!! The Holy Spirit exists and is working, do yourself a favour and get in touch.
