Before I came to DTS, I had no clue how to hear God’s voice.
I would hear my friends talk about it—how God spoke to them, led them, encouraged them—and deep down, I wondered if they were just making it up or if maybe it was something that just wasn’t for me. It sounded amazing, but so far away from anything I had ever experienced. I wanted to believe it was possible… but I wasn’t sure.
In the very first week of my DTS we had a teaching on Hearing God’s Voice, and it was like a window into a world I had only heard whispers about. The stories, the testimonies, the reality that God actually wants to speak to us today—it was exciting, inspiring, and honestly… a little overwhelming.
At the end of the class, our teacher smiled and said,
“You’ve heard about it, now it’s time to do it. We’re going to listen for God’s voice.”
My heart started pounding.
Could I really hear Him?
What if nothing happened?
What if I only heard my own thoughts—or worse, something bad?
All the doubts swirled in my mind.
But despite the questions, we prayed.
And right there, in that simple moment, it happened.
A soft, steady whisper deep inside:
“Everything will be okay. I am with you.”
It wasn’t an audible voice booming from the sky.
But there was a deep certainty in my spirit that these words weren’t mine.
No judgment. No condemnation.
Just love.
Just acceptance.
Just encouragement.
That moment changed everything.
I realized that hearing God’s voice isn’t about being “super spiritual” or perfect. It’s about spending time with Him, opening our hearts, and learning to recognize His presence.
It’s hearing Him say, again and again, how much He loves us, how pleased He is with us, and how He’s leading us forward with kindness and care.
Hearing God’s voice isn’t a one-time experience—it’s meant to be part of our everyday relationship with Him.
It’s how we get to know Him as our Father.
It’s how we discover who we are: His beloved children.
And the best part?
He’s always speaking.
We just get to learn how to listen.
