Bible-fundamentalists, can you describe how the voice of the Holy Spirit sound?

Question

you always say you hear the Holy Spirit, can you describe how?

Answer 1

I "hear" the Holy Spirit in the form of my conscience.

Answer 2

First (till you develop a sensitivity to hearing it) it will be like an idea. Have you ever wanted to do something and suddenly a thought comes across your mind, related to it, to handle, go or take something with you? Then later you go about your business and a moment comes up in which that item, could have been used? You think gosh, darn it, I should have taken it, gone there or whatever. That is the H.S.
For example"
When I was 17, I was walking home from school and got to the bottom of the hill and was standing at the crosswalk. I pushed the button and waited. Just when the man (back then the cross walk symbols were green and red) went "Green"
I heard an auditable voice within my head say "wait!" I looked around and did not see anything but I just shook my shoulders and though "ok." So I waited. About 15 seconds a trans am does one of those airbound swoops in the air as it becomes airbound coming over the hill, like in the movies. Someone was in an awful hurry. So I push the button again.
My light goes green again. I get ready to step off again and I hear the voice again holler "wait!" So I say to myself "ok I'll wait." Next comes another airborne car over the hill "vaa-flumt!" Lights and siren blasting. Had I had gone across and not heeded, I would have been dead center in the road where those cars were. I could not see over the hill but the H.S. could.
It is that still small voice that when you are thinking thoughts and dismiss it later as "that is not important, or I don't want to do that, when later you realize your regret, He brings it to mind and you then think "I should have..."
It takes time because we still have to dissern between our voice, the H.S's and the devils.

Answer 3

I've found that its usually a voice like any other, but its an intuitive "knowing" that comes when He speaks that sets His voice apart. Sometimes its more of an impression than an actual voice. The Holy Spirit actually inhabits a believer in Jesus once he or she receives Christ as Lord, and the believer becomes more sensitive to His voice as the time goes by. I'd be lost without the Spirits leading. Sometimes its a voice of conviction, which isn't much fun, but correction is a part of life.

Answer 4

Most Christians don't like to talk about this to a "non-believer"...because there is no way they could understand it anyway.

Since you ask, I will try to explain. When Jesus came and died for us on the cross, He rose again on the third day and promised those that believed He was their Saviour that He was leaving to go back to the Father, but that He would send "the comforter...the Holy Spirit....to be with us until He came again, which He has promised He will do.

When someone tells Jesus that they want Him to be their Savior...it is a personal decision to follow Christ. They say "I know I am a sinner and that You, Jesus died for me. I want you to come into my life and be My Savior." When this happens, it is also a commitment to follow Him. The Holy Spirit is the one who as the third part of the trinity comes into your life...to be you guide, your comforter, your helper, and your friend. There is God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit....each is real, each is a person, and each has
a role in the life of the believer.

When you "hear" the Holy Spirit it is in a still small voice that is very hard to explain...but "loud" in your ear. Sometimes it is to remind us of something...sometimes it is in answer to when we ask a question, and mostly not when we expect it to happen. It is one reason Christians will know so surely about their faith and trusting in God, because once you have had this experience of a gentle, quiet voice you hear so clearly, you no longer have any doubt that God is in your life. Sometimes it is telling you something God wants you to do....
and I could tell you some humorous stories about that.

I had a friend who told me that once she was in the drug store and a lady at the counter had no money to pay for her medicine...and the Holy Spirit said to her, "pay for her medicine". She knew right away God was talking to her...but she said she walked all over the store first...hoping she was mistaken...then when she came back to the counter, the lady was still there and He said again, "pay for her medicine"...so she went up and told the clerk to give the lady the medicine...I will pay for it." You see, if you are following Christ, you are willing
to listen....

But to explain this to someone who doesn't know Him? It sounds just foolish to them...because they don't know Jesus in a personal relationship. When you do....He is then your family, and never leaves you. It is awesome and amazing....but God wants to reconcile us to Himself, and this was how He planned it. But it is a personal choice we make to follow Him.

I have heard the Holy Spirit in different ways....one time when I was operating a microfilm machine, and struggling to decide whether to renew an engagement I had broken....and I asked God "What is going to happen?"....and the answer came right back to me (an inner voice)...."you are going to get married
next October....and without my planning it in anyway...that is just what happened....and we've been married for 49 years!

Sometimes I have heard the Holy Spirit quote God's Word to me....one time when I was trying to diet He quoted" do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food" which is a verse in the Bible. I immediately thought the "work of God" to be what I was doing for Him...and the Holy Spirit corrected my thought and said "the work of God is you!"...He is always to the point, always in line with what the Word of God says.
It is real..because He is real.

Answer 5

I haven't been to church in a while but when I did attend some people believed speaking in tongues was the holy spirit speaking through you. Speaking in tongues sounds basically like a bunch of jibberish. Also, when some people say this they may not mean literally hearing external voices. They could mean hearing the voice inside their head, almost like the "voice" of your conscience.

Answer 6

There are several ways. Sometimes it just comes as a thought out of the blue. It's usually soft & hardly noticeable as anything but my own. But it brings a peace about it.

Then if it's something I'm to do I pray & cross reference it with the Bible. But there are those rare times when I know it's the Lord. The peace & joy is indescribable. But it's rarely audible.
Like Ezekiel says it's that "still, small voice" in your head.

Answer 7

Through our spiritman. When we are born of the Spirit, there is a spiritual birth that blends with our soul. Our soul makes the decision to die to the lusts of the flesh (not reacting by cussing, yelling, etc...) but makes the soul choice to follow after the Spirit (faith, hope, love, joy, peace, patience, longsuffering, honesty, truth, etc...) The Holy Spirit convicts us to repent or leads & directs us through our new born spirit. But we have to make the soul choice to follow after the Spirit. The Holy Spirit won't force us.

The Holy Spirit has a gentle voice. And also is a confirmation of who we are in Christ. And brings to mind scripture for the moment. And also brings verses to mind to correct our wrong thinking. And teaches us spiritual things by comparing spiritual with spiritual.

I am gifted with speaking in tongues. And the Holy Spirit moves on me at times to speak in tongues when giving me a confirmation that the Pastor is speaking a prophetic word, or someone else is. The Holy Spirit is confirming the word as from God through my spiritman. Also, sometimes I will pray for someone that comes to mind, but the Holy Spirit has moved in me strongly to pray in spirit for this person very deeply/strongly. So? I then know that this person needs prayer right then. So? I intercede. This is intercessory prayer.

Answer 8

i comprehend many Protestants who do no longer capture God interior the Bible in any respect. they're between people who worship in Presbyterian, Methodist, Weslyan, Anglican, and another church homes. They welcome the Holy Spirit into their existence, and certainly into mine, as I even have witnessed from a modern from somebody who's a non secular believer in God, Jesus, and the spirit; he in simple terms can no longer draw close lots of the practices of Orthodox and Roman Catholics (eg: using Icons or asking saints to intercede in prayer for us), and that's ok. To me, he's each bit as Christian as those I worship with interior the Orthodox Church, for he retains Jesus' 2 greatest commandments wide-unfold: a million) Love God with all your coronary heart; 2) Love your neighbor as you may fairly like your self. That suggested, i will say this approximately lots of the fundamentalists; they do no longer capture God, they capture themselves in legalistic, Western notions on a similar time as overlooking those 2 same commandments.

Answer 9

They must not be true Christians then. The Holy Spirit works in our heart He doesnt speak to us. Man would you agree people way overthink things and use Gods word for their own means. God bless

Answer 10

to me it happens in many different ways... someone else can be speaking, the Spirit talking through them directly to my spirit. or i can just have a question on my heart that will be answered when i look in the word of God, and i know that it was the Spirit that brought me there.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying.
