Hearing the voice inside of you

Hey People!
So, I've talked a lot about listening to the directions that God is giving you, mainly, your dreams.
How do I know that God is the one who put the dream in my heart? Well, okay, here we go.
You know if God put the dream in your heart if He told you so. Yeah, that's right, I said if HE told you so.You can know that he told you so, in several different ways.
Not to mention, if you have a deep, deep, deep desire in your heart, and it follows you around wherever you go, whether it is to be a singer, dancer, minister, pastor, preacher, teacher, etc. You're not going to feel like you're doing what you're supposed to do unless you do what you've been called to do; and you only feel 'fulfilled' by doing it, if God is in it. One, if you're doing it for Him. Two, doing it with him; aka, with love, respect, wisdom, humility and a lot of other good stuff. You might say, why in heaven's name, would the God of Heaven and Earth want to talk to me? I'm just a normal, every day ordinary person. I'm not anyone important. WRONG! You're not a 'normal people.' you're God's people! So, if you're not normal, then obviously....you're a freak! A Jesus freak! (didja guys get it?) I love being a freak for Jesus. Why wouldn't God want to speak to his people? You don't have to be a pastor, preacher, teacher to hear straight from God; those people are just the same as you. They started out listening, and God led them to where they are now. God will do the same with you! Listening to his voice isn't hard. You simply block out any distractions, and go somewhere quiet and peaceful, for starters. Then just start worshiping him. When you've entered into a special place that you've opened up for Him (you basically just made room for God, out of all the stuff you're typically distracted with) Then you ask God questions, sit, and wait for the answer. Sometimes it will sound just like your own thoughts. Other times it will be in pictures, or in literal words you see spelled out when you close your eyes. God talks in a thousand different ways, each time. And you don't 'have' to enter into worship to hear his voice; that is not what I am saying in the slightest. What I'm saying is that I personally find it easier because when I do that, I shut down all other distractions, so I can easily 'hear' his voice better. Those who have ears to hear, listen. And those who have eyes to see, see. Meaning, if you truly want to, do it! The more in you get into His word, the more time you spend thanking God and focusing on positive things, the more time you just spend listening, and not always talking; the more and the clearer you will hear his voice. Now, I'm not saying you just go and believe every voice you hear in your head. Okay? Test the spirits. If the thoughts that come into your head, do not agree with the word of God, throw it out. God's word says for us to focus on things that are true, good, lovely, kindness, encouraging and of good report. There are times God gives us warnings, insights into situations, and revelations about things to come. And those aren't always looking 'positive,' but he shows us those things to both be ready and prepared for them; to pray over them in advance. (so they do have a more positive outcome) We have an enemy that will also try to say thoughts into our head, but he can NEVER be positive. Let me say that again, he can NEVER be positive. John 10:10 The enemy ONLY comes to steal, kill and destroy. If you've ever had thoughts about your dreams that said, "I can't do that. I'm not strong enough. I can't sing on key. I can't, I can't, I can't. What if I can't do this? What if, what if, what if....? Don't listen to it. God told you that you could do ALL things. Any thought that comes in and says what if I can't, or I just can't," don't listen to it! There are also times God will say, "We're not going to do this particular dream RIGHT NOW because you're still preparing," or, "Wait a little longer and you will be fully equipped." God is not going to send his soldiers out into the field without being fully and entirely equipped. Why? Because he loves you and he cares!So, throw trash out, invite God into a place of worship, and sometimes you start the conversation, other times you need to just shut up and listen. (Princess Diaries quote for all those who caught that) The thief comes to both steal your dreams, by saying, "What if," and kill them by saying, "I can't," and by saying I can't, that totally destroys it. He wants to move you off the path of positivity and God-given dreams, because he only wants one thing in your life...Hell.
A wise thing to do, before you start your time with God; is to just tell the enemy to shut-up and go away. Then focus on God. Worship really helps you to opening your mind and heart to him. Then tell your flesh and soul to shut-up, rebuke any words or thoughts that are not of his. And the more you do it, the clearer you'll be able to hear His voice. A still small voice.
This is all I'm going to say on this topic for now, I'm going to write another article here soon talking to you about a very special Gift of the Holy Spirit called, The Prophetic gifting. Once you learn about this, it will help you both hear and listen and speak God's words with more clarity and confidence. But, rest in knowing that GOD DOES and WILL talk to you!'
Love you guys!
