I Corinthians 2: 9,10
But as it is written, "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD hath prepared for them that love Him. But GOD hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea the deep things of GOD."
The first step in hearing the voice of GOD is to Believe that GOD will speak to you.
The second step is to Learn to listen.
The third step is to Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
In this I Corinthians passage, the Apostle Paul is saying that the Holy Spirit reveals and searches the deep things of GOD. When we believe that GOD speaks to us, when we practice listening and then are filled with the Holy Spirit, we can know the deep things of GOD. When the deep things are revealed to us, we are to proclaim them to others. The revelation of the deep things are not for us only, they are to be shared abroad.
How can we be sure that the word we hear is from GOD? Know the voice of GOD, read and meditate on the Word of the LORD, pray without ceasing, and practice listening. Everything that the Holy Spirit reveals is supported by GOD'S Word, the Holy Spirit never speaks apart from or contrary to the Word of GOD. He has given us the tools to discern the Word of the LORD, that is Scripture. There is a saying: "If you hear a word and it does not wash through the Scripture, don't drink it." This means that you have to spend time in study of the Word of GOD. If you have a question about a word you have received, Ask of God and He will show you the way.
BELIEVE, LISTEN, BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
and
HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD
