Listen Up ... God Still Speaks
Does God Still Speak? … And Can You Hear Him?
Have you ever met someone who says they hear from God?
Maybe they talk about sensing His direction or making decisions based on what they believe He’s heard Him say.
Sometimes those people feel a little out there.
Other times, they feel intimidating—as if their closeness to God highlights something you’re missing.
And if you’re honest, you might feel tempted to quietly dismiss the whole idea.
Don’t.
Jesus was clear: “My sheep listen to My voice” (John 10:27).
That statement wasn’t reserved for prophets, pastors, or the especially spiritual. It was spoken to ordinary followers. To people like you.
God speaks. He always has.
Scripture is filled with His voice—thundering in Psalm 29, guiding prophets, stirring hearts through dreams, signs, and moments of revelation. Ultimately, He spoke through Jesus and through the written Word. And today, He still speaks—through Scripture, people, prayer, worship, images, thoughts, and gentle inner promptings.
The question isn’t if God speaks.
The question is whether we’re learning to listen well.
Here are two anchoring principles that matter deeply.
1. Measure Everything by Scripture
Anything you believe God is saying must align with the Bible. God does not contradict Himself. Scripture is the clearest, most reliable expression of His voice (apart from Jesus Himself). Discernment takes time, humility, and practice—but it protects you and grounds you in truth.
2. Respond with Obedience
When God speaks, He invites response. James reminds us not to merely hear the Word, but to do it. Obedience isn’t legalism—it’s relationship. It’s trust. And here’s the quiet truth: the more we respond, the clearer His voice becomes.
God’s voice is not reserved for the spiritually elite.
It’s for sons and daughters.
It’s for learners.
It’s for you.
As we listen carefully and follow faithfully, we grow—not just in clarity, but in confidence, maturity, and fruitfulness.
With you,
~ Coach Tom
