In an age filled with noise, opinions, and spiritual counterfeits, one of the greatest needs of the believer is hearing the voice of God clearly. Many are praying for direction, clarity, and confirmation, yet few understand that spiritual hearing is cultivated—not automatic. God is still speaking, but only those who develop spiritual sensitivity will recognize His voice.
At Gods Altar and You, we believe that the altar is the gateway to divine communication. When the altar is restored, clarity is restored. When intimacy deepens, discernment sharpens.
Does God Still Speak Today?
One of the most searched questions among Christians today is: “Does God still speak today?”
The biblical answer is a resounding yes.
“God, who at various times and in different ways spoke in time past… has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.” — Hebrews 1:1–2
God has never stopped speaking; what has diminished is humanity’s ability to listen. Hearing God’s voice is not reserved for a spiritual elite—it is the inheritance of every believer who walks in relationship with Him.
Why Hearing God’s Voice Is Critical in This Season
We are living in a decisive hour. Personal opinions, social pressure, and spiritual deception compete for attention. Without divine guidance, believers risk making emotionally driven or culturally influenced decisions rather than Spirit-led ones.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” — John 10:27
Hearing God’s voice produces:
- Spiritual confidence
- Direction in decision-making
- Protection from deception
- Alignment with God’s will
- Growth in spiritual maturity
The Altar and the Voice of God
Throughout Scripture, God consistently spoke at the altar.
- Abraham received destiny direction at the altar
- Moses received instruction at a holy place
- Elijah restored the altar—and God responded with fire
The altar represents surrender, consecration, and intimacy. A believer who neglects the altar will struggle with spiritual clarity, while one who dwells there will walk in discernment.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
How God Speaks to Believers Today
1. Through the Word of God
The Bible is the foundation for all divine communication. God’s voice will never contradict Scripture.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
2. Through the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit speaks internally—through conviction, prompting, and guidance.
“As many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” — Romans 8:14
3. Through Peace and Confirmation
God’s voice brings peace, not pressure.
“Let the peace of God rule in your hearts.” — Colossians 3:15
Why Many Believers Struggle to Hear God
Spiritual deafness is often the result of:
- A neglected prayer life
- Emotional noise and distractions
- Unrepented sin
- Partial obedience
- Lack of stillness
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
Stillness is not inactivity—it is intentional spiritual alignment.
Developing Spiritual Discernment
Spiritual discernment is the ability to distinguish God’s voice from all others. The voice of God will always:
- Align with Scripture
- Reflect God’s character
- Lead toward holiness
- Confirm through peace
- Produce obedience
“Test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” — 1 John 4:1
Discernment grows through intimacy, not information.
Rebuilding the Altar in Daily Life
Hearing God consistently requires a lifestyle of consecration.
Practical Altar Practices:
- Daily prayer and worship
- Scripture meditation
- Fasting and spiritual discipline
- Journaling what God reveals
- Obedience to promptings
“Present your bodies as a living sacrifice.” — Romans 12:1
When your life becomes an altar, God’s voice becomes familiar.
Final Encouragement
God is not silent. He is speaking—calling His people back to intimacy, clarity, and alignment. Those who return to the altar will hear Him clearly and walk confidently in His will.
“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it.’” — Isaiah 30:21
At Gods Altar and You, our call is simple: restore the altar, restore the hearing, restore the walk.
