The Prophetic Code of "Response"
Its important to create an atmosphere for Gods voice to come forth - not because God is not speaking, but because the atmosphere we create - changes our position to hear - its like that individual that postures themself in a conversation to let the other individual know - "I am listening" the posture says everything without saying anything - it says, "i a am alert" "what you are saying is important" "You are worth listening to, Giving my attention to."
Acknowledging God's voice is Honoring his presence that is not only available to speak, but is already speaking.
How do I acknowledge God's Voice
1.) Thank the Lord for his voice - even before he speaks
2.) Call on His Voice - and expect him to speak even when you don't Hear Him
3.) Let him know you are Listening - by your posture, your reverence, sometimes your silence and patience will draw the depths of his dialogue with you.
1 Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation. 2 And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see, 3 and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the LORD where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down, 4 that the LORD called Samuel. And he answered, “Here I am!” 5 So he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am, for you called me.”
And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down.
6 Then the LORD called yet again, “Samuel!”
So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.)
8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.”
Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy. 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, Speak, LORD, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”
And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”
11 Then the LORD said to Samuel..... 1 Samuel 3:1-11
