Can Kids Hear From God?

Does God speak to kids? Emphatically, yes! God spoke to kids in the Bible and He still speaks to kids today. When kids get saved and filled with the Spirit. The Holy Sprit lives inside of kids just like He lives inside of their parents. Many times kids are more sensitive to the voice of God than adults are


Think about Samuel and Eli. God spoke to young Samuel because Eli had consistently disobeyed the Lord. God used a young King Josiah to turn Israel back to God, after his father had led the nation into idol worship.


God speaks to us through our spirit. There are three parts of man: spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). The Holy Spirit does not live in your mind or your body. The Holy Spirit lives inside of your spirit man.


God speaks to us through the inward witness. In fact, the most frequent way thatGod talks to us is through the inward witness. The inward witness is not a voice, it is an inward sense. The Bible says it like this, “the Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit.” It is like this, you may be thinking about doing something and it just doesn’t seem right or it may even seem wrong. It is kind of like an inward stoplight. You start to make a decision and you get a red light on the inside. What is that? That is the inward witness. Kids don’t need to wait until they grow up to get the inward witness. They have it right now. Many times kids are asking their parents to do something and they already know they shouldn’t do it, but they are just hoping mom and dad will say yes.


Learn to listen to the inward witness, because the Holy Spirit lead you through the inward witness.
