How to Hear God's VoiceSample

Way #4: Peace

A fourth way God can speak to you is through peace.

The Bible tells us the peace of God is able to lead us.

“And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ’s] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always]." — Colossians 3:15, AMPC

How does God speak to us through His peace?

When anxious or negative thoughts begin to overwhelm you and you fix your attention on Christ, you’ll settle into that peace, that soul harmony. Jesus said, “My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (John 14:27). The peace of God surpasses all human understanding. It will “guard your hearts and minds” (Phil. 4:7), but the peace of God also will settle with finality all the questions you may have.

Have you ever been in a situation where you desperately needed to hear from God?

Maybe there was a crisis, a storm, an offense, or a relationship that was grieving you. In the middle of a circumstance like that, have you ever cried out to the Lord and suddenly received peace, and you just knew that everything was going to be OK? Don’t dismiss that when it happens. Don’t take that lightly because that is God speaking to your spirit.
