Hearing God's Voice: Channelling

Many people hear God's voice through an audible sound, at the same token, many do not. But, they hear him in other ways. One of those ways include an 'impression' or a 'loving feeling' in the heart area (chakra) that seeks to be expressed through you own thoughts or mouth, instead of a a seperate voice. Such is the way, I, personally, hear from God all the time (as long as I am open to hear it).

Allowing God to speak through you takes absolute faith and pure focus on the 'loving vibration' of God. This can be called the process of 'channeling (God).' This is how I write for you, and this is how I get my own spiritual advice and insight in my everyday life.

Many people can 'think' they heard from God (i.e. false prophets/pyschics) but actually would actually be hearing their OWN thoughts or thoughts out of alignment with the Spirit of God. This is why it is important to stay in constant prayer, study and in the counsel of other Godly people to be SURE you heard from God.

It is important to know the gravity of the 3 things I have listed above that reinforce your closeness to God. So I will take time to explain each of the 3 practices for your own personal growth and benefit. May it be of great help to you in ALL areas of your life.

Prayer

Constant prayer is a powerful force that draws you close to God and God close to you. The more you pray, especially on the daily basis, the more effective your prayer is. A person who has prayed consistently for 10 days has a more effective prayer life than someone who is praying for the first time today. Imagine the effectiveness of a person who prays everyday, yearly! Powerful.

Study


The study of God is VERY important (after prayer) because your studies REMIND you of the reasons WHY you are worthy of God answering your prayers. I stay in constant study of God because I know my mind is restless. That is the nature of all minds.

The useful thoughts come from a higher source: God. But the useless thoughts come from the 'devil' or ego whih keeps your mind busy with pointless ideas and fears. To the untrained mind, it is difficult to sift our minds of the True Thoughts fro mthe pointless ones. That is where study comes in.

Study REMINDS you of these true thoughts that rang true to you, but you forgot in the overwhelming wave of other thoughts in your mind. It also give you confirmation on which thoughts to drop that are not in alignment with who you truly are. Those thoughts do NOT serve you AT ALL but would rather hinder you from clearly hearing God Voice.

Studying about God, SOMETIMES, may help you hear God's Voice ...sometimes. But studying Him ALL THE TIME GUARANTEES you will hear from God ALL THE TIME. Just look at the lives of the masters. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna... spiritual leaders today, Isira, Eckart Tolle, Osho, Byron Katie... all of these people are WELL-VERSED in their respective paths of spiritual study. They are always referencing something that they read in which ever holy scriptures of god they have studied respectively.

This gives you a GLIMPSE of why it is so important to be in consistent study of God.

Don't get me wrong. Reading the Bible or the Bhagavad gita all day doesn't guarantee spiritual enlightenment. Some people memorize these holy texts like the back of their hand, but get NOTHING out of it! It's because they only ponder the ideas, but they don't test them for Truth.

It's like a blind man who has heard thousands of tapes about what it is like to see light... and stops there. Unless you put into practice what you hear and open your eyes, light will always be an idea... a philosophy. But not truth.

Therefore, If you would but allow the words to POINT your mind back to your Highest Truth, THAT will guide you to the spiritual awareness of God within you.

Be open. Open your mind from closed ideas to recieve wisdom from God. Be open and you will recieve from Him.

Godly Counsel


Lastly, but CERTAINLY not least, being in the counsel of MANY other Godly people on the same spiritual path is HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

Not only do they serve as a support group for you in your personal growth, but they serve as a "checks and balances" system for you as you grow.

You see, along our respective spiritual paths, we get to a point where ego steps in and attempts to make us feel in some way 'superior' or 'special' compared to other people... as if OUR wisdom is something NO ONE ELSE has because God has ONLY granted it to us... i.e. "God plays favorites."

Those who believe in this notion are the the cult leaders you hear of who have lead thousands of people into a death by suicide.

God doesn't work this way. If He has something to tell you, He will tell you personally, and will then confirm it to you in your brothers and sisters. Therefore, what He shares with you is not just for you, but it is ALWAYS for EVERYONE ELSE as well! This is where your wise and Godly counsel come in at.

If you have been given information, wisdom or insight from God, TEST IT! SHARE it! See if it works! And where better to test, share and see if what you have recieved than with Godly counsel? They will test what you have recieved through this criteria: Peace, Truth, Love and Joy. All of these terms are synanymous with each other and with the 'nature of God Himself.'
............

All of what comes from God leads to Peace, therefore clarity, a piece of mind. It leads to your eternally silent and peaceful nature within you. Within everyone. Within all things.

It leads to Truth. It cannot be refuted. It is what it is. It needs no defense. The insight, information or wisdom ...speaks for itself. It is something that everyone is already aware of, but have simply forgotten.

Love. It is unconditionally loving. It includes ALL, that is, all people, all sides, the whole.

Joy. Upon recieving this information you are joyful. It brings joy to all. It brings joy to the Universe.



...............

If you have heard from God, it will not only ring true to you, but it will ring true to your Spiritual counselors as well many many other awakened souls.

So, I have explained for you here, the criteria in which you should go about channeling. And in your channelling, you should rememember, all you are channeling is God. That should be your ONLY intention. Because God is All There Is. Anything else, doesnt exist. hehe. Simple as that.

Something else that is important to remember, is that God confirms His voice in an INFINITE amount of ways. Not only through His people, but through a song, a word on the radio, a message on a billboard, a book, an opportunity, through a chance meeting... does God confirm you heard from Him. Trust these signs. It is God communicating with you.

Stay in His presence through following the 3 criteria mentioned above. And without doubt of any kind, you will KNOW you heard from God. Amen.



*~Love and Light~*
