The 7 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice

To hear God’s voice clearly, we need to use these keys:

  1. The Word (Bible) – God speaks primarily through Scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
  2. The Holy Spirit – The Spirit guides us in truth. (John 16:13)
  3. Godly Counsel – Wise, mature believers can help confirm God’s direction. (Proverbs 11:14)
  4. Personal Prophecy – God may use prophetic words, but they must align with Scripture.
  5. Inner Peace – God’s peace acts as a guide. (Colossians 3:15)
  6. Confirmation – A true word from God is often confirmed multiple times.
  7. Circumstances – God may use events and opportunities to direct us.
