"Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts" (Hebrews 3:15).

God speaks to us through His Word and by His Spirit, but not everyone responds rightly to His voice. When you hear God's Word, He expects a response. Your response activates His power and brings His Word to life in your situation. In the days of Samuel, God called him repeatedly, but Samuel didn't know how to respond until Eli taught him to say, "Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth" (1 Samuel 3:9).

Once Samuel responded correctly, God began to talk to him. Likewise, when you respond to God in faith, His voice becomes clearer, and His presence manifests more strongly in your life. Never take the Word of God lightly. Each instruction, correction, or prompting of the Spirit requires a faith-filled response. So, to every Word from God, you say, "Yes, Lord," and act accordingly.

Not responding to God's Word quickly can silence or weaken your ability to hear from Him. But when you train your spirit to act promptly on the Word, the Spirit of God floods your heart with light, direction, and grace. So always be quick to respond in faith whenever you receive God's Word, whether during your personal study, prayer, or as a prophecy. Oftentimes, His voice may sound gentle, but it carries divine power.

Prayer

Dear Father, as I respond to your Word with faith and love, I'm tremendously blessed; my heart is flooded with your grace and truth, and I experience continuous progress and increase by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
