How can I hear God speak?

Finally, and simply, to hear God's voice, ask God to speak. Say, “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” Contrary to what most people think, God wants to speak to us and God is speaking to us all the time. We are simply deaf to what God is saying or not paying attention.

3. Listen.

Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” Listening is an art, and never more so than when listening to God’s voice. We use the phrase “listening to God” but God speaks in ways other than audibly. It is a thought that crosses your mind, an unexpected insight, a flash of understanding, a moment of revelation, a burst of understanding, a feeling of comfort, a sense of God’s presence, and awareness of the nearness of the heart of Jesus. God’s voice sounds different and has a distinctive tone. Just like you can hear your mother’s voice out of a cacophony of other voices, so we can learn to discern God’s voice from all the others. Martin Luther describes the other voices that we can hear as being “the world, the devil, and our sinful self.” For example, in my life when I hear a word—a thought in my mind—that says, “You need to be more successful,” I know that it is the values of the world speaking. The voice in my head that says, “Hurry, hurry, hurry; Do more; Be faster; Accomplish more;” is for me the voice of the evil one. My sinful self screams at me and says, “You are unlovable.” Contrary to those voices I hear God say, “Focus on being faithful to me and leave the results to me. Be still and know that I am God. You are my beloved son and with you I am well pleased.” Notice that it took four tries for Samuel to learn to tell the difference between God’s voice and Eli’s voice. Similarly, it takes a long time to discern how to “hear” God. It took you years to learn to distinguish meaning out of the babble of sounds that you heard as an infant. But you did learn to recognize human speech. You can learn to recognize God’s speech.

He holds the Guinness World Record for IQ at 210 and he was invited as a guest student in physics at Hanyang University when he was three year old. He was invited to America by NASA at age eight, he worked at the space organization for ten years and then returned to Korea. Despite his amazing intelligence, Ung-yong stressed that a high IQ does not bring happiness and there are other more important things in life. That's why he chose a provincial college to earn his Ph.D. in civil engineering instead of attending Korea's most prestigious institution. Later, he became an adjunct faculty member at Chungbuk National University.
