2 Ways You Can Hear

The Voice of God Today!

There are two distinct ways that you can hear the voice of God.
Today!
Now, actually there's more than two ways to hear the voice of
God. But in this book
we're going to talk
about two ways to hear
the voice of God today.
How can you hear the
voice of God today in
your life?
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they

follow me John 10:27
Jesus Christ was very clear when He said that His sheep would
hear His voice.
His sheep would hear His voice. Are you a sheep? Are you? If
you're a believer in Jesus, then you, my friend, are a part of His
flock. You're a sheep, and if you're a sheep, then you should
surely hear His voice.
Think about that a moment.
Think about what it means to truly hear the voice of God, the
Creator, your Savior, the one who holds all things in His hands, the
one who spoke all of life into existence, speaks to you, speaks into
your heart, and we're able to hear from the Father Himself.
Let's take a few moments in this booklet to look at a few verses
from the word of God. His promises of how He speaks to us
Romans 10:17 - So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and

hearing by the word of God.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God [is] quick, and
powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration
of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
John 14:16-17 - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for
ever;
1 Kings 19:11-13 - And he said, Go forth, and stand upon

the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD
passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains,
and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the
LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an
earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake:
John 16:13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come,
he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he
speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they]
are spirit, and [they] are life.
James 1:19-27 - Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every
man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Romans 8:14 - For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God.
John 8:47 - He that is of God heareth God's words: ye
therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
Luke 11:28 - But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that
hear the word of God, and keep it.
John 14:26 - But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you
all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 10:16 - And other sheep I have, which are not of this
fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and
shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest
not.
Psalms 32:8-9 - I will instruct thee and teach thee in the
way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Galatians 6:6 - Let him that is taught in the word
communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and
that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your
reasonable service.
Acts 16:6-10 - Now when they had gone throughout
Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of
the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.

Isaiah 30:19-22 - For the people shall dwell in Zion at
Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very
gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall
hear it, he will answer thee.
Psalms 5:3 - My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O
LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee,
and will look up.
2 Timothy 3:16 - All scripture [is] given by inspiration of
God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Now, in our counseling and life coaching practice at

www.TheSecondAdam.com we often have people come to us,
their question is often the same
"How do I hear the voice of God?
How do I know if this is God
speaking?
How do I know if this is my
voice or another voice?
How do I know if this is God
or how do I know if this is the
devil?"
We have these questions
asked to us almost everyday.
See, when you look at hearing, when you think about hearing the
word of God, we look at the prophetic realm.
In the prophetic realm, there are visions, there are visitations,
there are day dreams, there are night dreams, there's the angelic,
there's the demonic when we look into the realm of darkness.
There are a lot of voices out there today that are trying to grab for
your attention, whether you're in the workplace, or you're in the
church, the TV, or social media.
There are thousands of messages everyday screaming out for your
attention. So, how do we tune-in to hear the voice of God?
If you're reading this book, then obviously you want to know
more about the voice of God; you want to know more about how
God speaks, and I commend you.
At our website, www.thesecondadam.com, we receive prayer
requests every day. We receive counseling request every day from
people that are just like you wanting to know God's voice,
wanting to know what He has for them, their purpose, their
destiny, their direction in life.
What is your question?
What are you looking for?
Now we are surely not delving into every area in a booklet such as
this, because there's so much teaching on dreams and symbolism,
on visitations from angels, visitations from Christ Himself,
visitations of the supernatural, there's prophetic words that are
given through a prophet, there's prophetic words that are given
through the gift of prophesy, there's the word of God, which
should speak to all of us, the Bible, which is the written, or

"logos", word of God.
Then there is that Rhema word, the word that is spoken- the
inspired word of God. How do we take those words?
How do we distinguish if God is speaking to us or not?
There's two ways we're going to teach in this booklet.
I wanted to keep this booklet, this
teaching, this revelation quick and easy,
so you can begin the practice of the
presence of God's voice.
Let me say that again, "You want to
practice the presence of God's voice,"
because as you begin to practice hearing His voice every day, then
you will be able to learn the voice. You'll tune into the voice just
as a child would know the voice of their parent; so will you learn
to distinguish the voice of your heavenly Father.
As I said, there's many ways to hear, but these two are not
necessarily how God speaks, but how we discern His voice.
Part One: Active Listening.
Active listening is a skilled art of HOW we listen to one another.
How do use active listening in our communication skills? What is
active listening, and how does it apply to you?
Active listening is actually more than it sounds like, it's not simply
listening, but being active, that means being a participant, an
active participant in the listening.
You're not talking and you're not preparing the comeback for
whatever words the person just spoke. You're truly listening,
you're taking notes, whether it be mentally taking notes, or
physically with pen and paper. You're taking notes, you're taking
in what they're saying, and you're simply absorbing it. It's active.
With a person it's eye contact; it's listening, and not speaking.
When you speak to someone, and you're expecting to hear, that is
active listening. So, when we pray to God, "God, I need to hear
your voice, Lord I need an answer in this area God, what is Your
heart concerning this matter?" Then we can become silent and
expect God to answer.
In fact, if you're going to listen to God it will require you to stop
praying, and stop talking. It will require the monologue of your
own voice to be exchanged for the active communication
between the two of you, between you and your heavenly Father.
When I pray, "Lord, You have all the answers, but I need to gain
some revelation. Concerning this matter, I need to know your
heart. Lord, what are You saying to me about my ______" and
then you fill in the blank.
"Lord, what are you saying to me about my relationships?
Lord, what are you saying to me about my career?
Lord, what are you saying to me about my family?
Lord, what are you saying to me about my destiny?
Lord, what are you saying to me about ___________?
Fill in the blank.
This is when you come to God as you take time to listen.
Listen to me, active listening will require you to separate yourself

from all of the other distractions and all of the other noises. It
includes separation from other people, separation from social
media, and for that moment even your own voice of praying.
You pray and then you listen.

Now, how do you hear? That's the key.
See, when you pray and listen, God may speak through several of
your senses.
It may be through your eye gate or your visual senses. Maybe
you have an image in your mind, in your imagination, as God
paints upon your thought life.
In fact, your imagination is as a canvas unto the Lord. We open up
and allow Him to paint his thoughts upon ours.
Maybe it will be an open vision - as your eyes are open, you see
something before you as if it were real. For many people, there's
an image in their mind, but it's a snapshot, it's very quick... it
comes quickly, and it leaves quickly. But it leaves an impression
that you know that must be from God.
Many times God will speak through your ear gate in the auditory
realm, that means you hear Him. It may be an audible voice as if
you are hearing someone speak, or it could be that still small
voice that you hear inside your mind, almost like your own
thoughts.
That is where it takes practice to discern, "Is this my own thought,
or is this God's voice?"
Then, most of the time, we have a feeling that's more kinesthetic.

We have a gut feeling, as people like to call it. "I feel like God is
leading me here, He's taking me away from here. I feel a
resounding 'Yes', or I feel that a 'No' is the answer."
See, as human beings, we have one representation system
usually, that is more dominant. Maybe you're more visual, you
see things, you express your thoughts through words that have
visual context to them, such as colors and pictures, and you speak
from that place or you see from that place of visual.
Maybe you're more auditory, maybe you learn by hearing and you
respond to the voices and what you hear someone is saying.
Or, maybe you're more kinesthetic, and it's the feeling that you
get inside. It's not something you see or hear as much as how you
sense the information that comes in and how you process that
information through your feelings.
When we're actively listening to God, we take the time to pray
and then listen. So, "Lord, in concerning this matter, what are you
saying?" And then we're quiet, and we're listening. In that
listening time, whether it is one minute, 10 minutes, or an hour,
we have to be very conscious, be very aware of what we're doing,
because we should not be thinking of our next prayer to God, we
should not be waiting to say something back to God. You already
have given your voice to the Father, now it's time to listen to His
reply.
Now, I know many of you are saying, "Well, I've tried that, and I
didn't hear from God." Many times you God is speaking yet you
may not know how to discern His voice. It is my belief the Father's
always speaking, but many times we do not know how to discern
that still small voice.
Is this my imagination or God's thoughts in my imagination? Is

this a gut feeling, or is this a prophetic revelation?" So, if we're
unable to rightfully discern, then we often go into a place of fear,
or we often go into a place of misunderstanding.
So, active listening requires dedication, it requires time alone
with God, and it requires practicing the presence of His voice. In
fact, many times you can simply say, "Lord, I just want to hear
Your voice, I want to learn to discern Your voice instead of my
voice, or the voice of the enemy. Lord, tell me how much You love
me," and then you simply listen.
Is it a feeling, do you hear His voice, does He show you? "Lord, tell
me how much You love me," and then you simply listen. You're
learning to discern the voice of the Lord.
Active listening is very important.
Active listening is very powerful.
Active listening will change the way you pray!
You still take time for intercessory prayer, you still take time to
pray and decree the word of God, you still take time to truly enjoy
the presence and enjoy being a child of God outside of what God
may or may not say to you. Yet, through that time with God, then
you learn to separate yourself to listen and to say, "What would
you say to me, my Lord?" Then you simply listen. Again, active
listening is so very important for your direction in lifes challenges.
Here at the ministry here at www.thesecondadam.com, we
believe in praying and listening, and waiting for that precious
voice of our Lord. We take time and practice active listening
before we minister unto other people, and before we minister
even unto our own life. Active listening requires effort, but it's not
effort on your part to speak more, yet to listen and discern more.
Part Two: Passive Listening.

Now, what is passive listening? Passive listening, at least in our
experience, is most often how we hear God throughout the day.
I have found most people hear God passively, more than they do
actively, even in the prophetic realm. Also, many times, once you
hear God in active listening, it will often be confirmed over and
over again in the passive realm because that is one way of
confirming His word. So, lets talk again passive listening
Passive listening is as you go, and you discern, you pay attention
to, and you watch for those prophetic highlights throughout your
day.
If I said to the Lord, "Lord, I
need to know about my
family, what are you saying?"
and I actively listen, then I
may discern His voice, I may
pick up on what He wants to
say to me at that season. Or, I
may not be able to tune in
exactly at that moment, so I
continue
I listen, I wait, and then I continue throughout my day
Throughout my day I'm passively listening, that means my mind is
focused upon the other duties of the day, yet our mind is waiting
for the prophetic highlights. Maybe it's a song, or the words of a
song, maybe it's a book that I've read, or maybe just a sentence
out of the book, maybe it's a conversation from someone else,
maybe it's a post on social media. Yet, somehow it's highlighted,
somehow God seems to bring those words to life, that image to

life, or that feeling to life within you, and passively, as you go, you
begin to go, "Wow," and you begin to see a clue, a God-wink, a
fingerprint from the hand of God upon your life.
Now, passive listening has many ways of coming. Again, as we
talked about with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic, we talk about
the senses. You may see something in the visual realm, you may
hear something in the auditory realm, or maybe it's just that
feeling, that gut instinct, the intuition, the discernment, of
something that happens throughout the day that confirms or
begins to shed light upon the question that you had.
Now, sometimes God will give us many clues, because He knows
that we're only going to pick on a few. Many times we'll pick up
on several of them. But again, we have passive listening that can
go throughout the day or can take place for several days, months,
or even years as He's leading us from one place of our life into
another.
See, God is really more patient than we are.
If God wants to direct you, lead you, or guide you into another
area of life, many times He will give us that passive
communication over and over and over.
Now, it is my belief that many people rely upon the passive
communication so strongly, because they've never practiced the
art of being in His voice, the art of active listening, and because
they're not willing to actively listen to God, they must listen
passively.
God chooses to speak, God wants you to grab a hold of what He

has for you, so many times He speaks passively for days, weeks, or
even years until we grab a hold of it.
God wants you to hear His voice.
You are a child of God, and therefore He wants to speak to you
just as you speak to Him. He wants you to hear His voice just as
much as you want Him to hear your prayers. That is the beauty of
true prayer; it's the beauty of dialog.
So, let's make a game plan!
Number one, I want you to simply ask God over the next seven
days, "God, show me Your love," and practice active listening,
listen to His voice, look and see what He brings, what is He
speaking into your heart?
Does He speak mainly, or do you discern mainly through the
visual, the auditory, or the kinesthetic realm? How does He speak,
and how do you receive it primarily?
Next, I want you to do that not only for the next seven days
actively, but then as you go throughout your day, expect God to
show His love for you passively, through other people, through
media, through circumstances, through nature, through any way
that God chooses!
Ask yourself, "How does God want so speak, and how can I
receive it?" Now, after the seven days, I want you to begin to take
one area of your life at a time.
For instance, your identity... "Lord, when it comes to my identity
in You, what would You have me know?
Lord, when it comes to my identity in You, what would you have

me know?" is a question that will bring deep revelation as you
discern the voice of the Lord; and then listen actively, take five
minutes, pen and paper in hand, and simply wait.
What words, what
images, what thoughts,
what feelings being to
manifest as ask the Lord
to show you?
Write them down, listen
and write them down.
Then, passively, throughout those seven days, "What do you have
before you, what is God saying, what is He bringing, and what is
He confirming?" Keep your pen and paper handy, because you
need to write yet again.
So, we've got two weeks worth of exercises. Your third week, I'm
going to ask you to go and ask God about your purpose, your
destiny. "Lord, when it comes to my purpose and destiny, what
would you have me know?" and follow the same example as
above, both for active listening and for passive listening.
The following week, "Lord, when it comes to my relationships,
what would you have me know?" Again, we're going to go back to
the passive and active listening. Again, we're going to journal for
seven days, paying close attention to the way you see, hear, feel,
because now you've practiced the presence of His voice for
several weeks, and you'll be able to begin discerning His voice
above the other voices.
The following week, I want you to ask the Lord about your
finances. "Lord, when it comes to my finances, my business, my
job, what would you have me know?" Again, listening both
actively, taking notes, and passively as you go throughout your
week.
On the final week we're going to ask the Lord about our health,
"Father, when it comes to my health, what would you have me
know?" In those seven days of active listening, those seven days
of passive listening, you're going to begin to discover things, see
things, and hear things that you may have never thought about
before.
The key is to never limit how God speaks, nor how you can
discern! I've told you He can speak actively, which is intent
listening, waiting for an answer, I've shown you how He can speak
passively, or how you can hear Him passively as you go
throughout your day. We've talked about the visual, the auditory,
and the kinesthetic. But God is not limited, even by those
parameters.
The way God chooses to speak, and the way you can receive it will
be personal for you. These exercises simply give you a way to
honor God, honor His voice, and expect to hear back from Him. As
you ask the Lord to speak, and as you honor by taking the time to
listen, you will receive revelation, you will receive insight, you will
learn to discern the voice of God.
What I find really amazing and really fun is just by reading this
simple booklet you can take time today, even now, and say, "Lord,
what would you say to me now? What would you say to me
today?" And you, today, can begin to hear and discern the word
of the living God.
