Hear From God By Listening to Your Conscience

by Daniel N. Brown

The Bible tells us that we need to be led by the Holy Spirit
(Romans 8:12-14, Galatians 5:16-25). Therefore, it is necessary
for us to discern the prompting and guidance of the Holy Spirit
if we are to live abundant and prosperous lives.   

Getting to know God better is ultimately the key to hearing from,
and being led by Him. 

1. Spend time alone with Him in prayer and Bible reading. This
should be a priority, not a chore that you grudgingly do if you
happen to have some spare time.  

2. During your time alone with God, don't expect to feel
something. We are to live by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7), not by
feelings.

3. Make sure that the Bible version you are using is easy for you
to read, otherwise you will become discouraged very quickly. Your
local Christian bookstore can show you several versions of the
Bible and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.  

4. Expect Him to speak to you. Sometimes you will get an
immediate response, but most of the time you will need to wait
for a while and keep watching for the answer in whatever manner
God chooses to speak to you.  

5. Listen to your conscience and be quick to obey if you should
lose your peace about something. If you ignore your conscience,
you run the risk of your conscience becoming "corrupted" (Titus
1:15) and "seared as with a hot iron" (1 Timothy 4:2), and it
will be more difficult to hear from God.   

The apostle Paul wrote about our consciences frequently. He said
that he kept a clear conscience before God (Acts 23:1, 24:16, 1
Corinthians 4:4, 2 Timothy 1:3,) and he said that we should do
the same (Romans 13:5, 1 Timothy 1:5, 19, 3:9) so that we don't
shipwreck our faith. We can know that we are hearing from God by
listening to our conscience.

~ "I speak the truth in Christ--I am not lying, my conscience
confirms it in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 9:1).

~ "Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves
in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the
holiness and sincerity that are from God" (2 Corinthians 1:12).   

~ Our consciences "bear witness" to the truth (Romans 2:15),
because the truth is "plain to our conscience" (2 Corinthians
5:11), and the "the Holy Spirit testifies with our spirit"
(Romans 8:16) to confirm the truth.   

If we learn to obey our conscience and let peace be our umpire,
we will be able to let God lead our daily lives and assure
ourselves of abundance and prosperity.
