Train Your Spirit to Discern His Voice

Text: My sheep hear my voice, and d Id I know them, and they know follow me (John10:27)
If as a Christian, you find it difficult to discern the voice of the Spirit, it's not because you haven't  trained your spirit to disc discern  His voice. It's possible to train yourself to discern the voice of the Spirit, and here are a few thoughts that will help you.

First, you must develop a voracious appetite for the Word. Study the Word and know it for yourself. The voice of God's Spirit is made known to you through the written Word.

Secondly. learn to act on the Word quickly. When you receive instructions or counsel from God's Word, don't delay; act at once. That is learning to train your spirit.

Thirdly, pray the Word. Prayer helps to condition your spirit to become a dependable receptacle of  God's ideas, vision and promptings. So, how you pray, what you pray about, and the content of your prayer determine how sensitive your spirit will be to His voice.

Also, desire spiritual things; things that matter to God. desire them from you heart and pursue them. The proof of desire is pursuit. Engage yourself with activities that'll edify your spirit such as soul winning, participation in church meetings and services, etc. Commit your resources- time, money and attention to the things that matter to the Lord.
