Hearing in the Realm of the Spirit World
COMMUNICATING IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT
In heaven they communicate 2 ways. Mostly they communicate via thought, but they also speak through their mouths too. This is how it is in the realm of the spirit as well. When they communicate with thought, there is revelation and understanding attached to the actual thought. Like for instance I might say to my husband, “I am going to the store,” and he would know without my telling him that I was going for milk and also remember that there was only one cup left in the carton. It is like that in the realm of the spirit regarding talking through thought. If we were to describe that in the way of operating in the gifts of the Spirit, it would be hearing thoughts that impart the word of knowledge, word of wisdom and understanding.
When a person dreams at night, they can have conversations with people in their dreams, and hear people speak back to them. But through this, no one is actually opening their mouths to talk. It is conversation via thought.
When we hear in the spirit world, we can hear different types of personalities:
- · The Father’s voice
- · Jesus’ voice
- · The Holy Spirit
- · Angels
- · Cloud of Witnesses
- · People on earth
- · Our own spirit
- · Our soul
- · Demons
We can have our natural ears open and hear their literal voice. Or we can hear them in the realm of the spirit, where revelation and understanding is attached and we know who is speaking. Also because they have personalities, they speak and relate differently with different types of words, etc that also impart who they are.
HEARING IN THE SPIRIT IS TO OUR MINDS, NOT THROUGH OUR MINDS
Hearing in the spirit sounds just like our thoughts. However there is a strong difference between hearing our own thoughts and hearing in the spirit.
When one hears THROUGH their own thoughts, it is subjective, meaning they come with the involvement of our soul or personality and choice. Many have thought they heard the Lord’s still small voice, when in reality it was their own thoughts. The Lord does speak to us through our thoughts, also inspires them, but this is not hearing His still small voice or in the realm of the Spirit. The Lord speaking to us through our thoughts is in the section about Inspired Minds.
In contrast, hearing through the spirit comes TO our mind; it is a totally unbiased, objective experience. Our personality has no involvement in what is said, or when something is said. An example is being in a room with someone, while having your eyes closed. You do not know if that person will say something, and if he does, you do not know what will be said or when. There is no control over the speaker, there is no involvement in what, when or if he speaks. This way of hearing bypasses the soul or personality, because there is no personal involvement. To hear in the spirit, it is a gift — a gift of approach into your world, your private space.
PERSONALITIES
The Father’s voice
Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Jesus’ voice
Acts 9:4-5 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? 5 And he said, Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for you to kick against the goads.
The Holy Spirit
Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Angels
Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Cloud of Witnesses
Matthew 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.
People on earth
Luke 5:22 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, Why reason you in your hearts?
Our own spirit
Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit..
Our soul
Psalms 77:6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
Demons and devil
Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus, you Son of God? have you come here to torment us before the time?
Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
When learning how to discern and decipher who or what we hear, it is always good to filter what is heard through scripture first. Does the personality line up with God’s goodness, love and mercy? Is the message honorable and bring truth?
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
