On Hearing God's Voice

You may say, “God doesn’t talk to me.  He only talks to holy or devout people, or to priests, ministers and religious people.”  But if you have received the Holy Spirit, God talks to you.  The only difference is how well you listen.

  Take time to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit within you. Shut off the television or radio. Get up a little earlier or spend some time in quiet in the evening or before bed. Find a quiet place. Go to Adoration or to a church or chapel; a quiet place in a park or the beach. No matter how busy you are, you can always find time and place to sit in quiet.

  

  Then the Lord said:  "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord; the Lord will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the Lord--but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake--but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire--but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.  I Kings 19:11-13
