Faith is accepting the reality of God's word even when it seems there are no physical evidence to support it. God's word is evidence on its own. It doesn't need any human parameter to substantiate itself.
If God said so it's so.
Once you lose the confidence in yourself to hear God then it becomes difficult to do so.
Depending solely on someone else to hear God for you will produce a lot of weakness in your life.
The ability to hear God is dormant, stored, hidden undiscovered and undeveloped in many of us. We must therefore accept God's word as true. The journey begins here. This is the foundation for it.
*PROVOKED POTENTIAL!!* An undiscovered, undeveloped, and unprovoked potential is as useless as a non-existent potential. Potentials have to be discovered, developed and provoked.
Provoking the potential to hear God.
The word of God has to become our daily and constant reading and meditation.* The first place where you must locate the voice of God is through His word. God speaks to us most times from the reservoir or the abundance of his word already in our hearts. If God's word is scanty inside you it will be a struggle to hear God. Note that reading and meditation are not the same. Reading is mere information gathering while meditation is setting our hearts to ruminate on His word. The word of God inside you will become the voice of God inside you when the need arises. The light of God's word inside us becomes a light unto our path outside (Jos 1:8, Prov 6:20-22). This will require that we pay very close attention to God’s word. It has to become a major focus of our lives.
Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night...."
