Listening to the voice of god
The best way to listen to the voice of God is through the KJV Bible. Start by reading a Bible passage slowly. Jesus (Yeshua) speaks to us in many ways—through a gentle whisper in your mind, through other people (even though they may not realize it), through sermons, books, and music.
Be encouraged! Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) loves you and is just a prayer away!
By feeding your mind, reading, and getting God’s Word down in your soul, you will be equipped in every area of your life. When you make Jesus (Yeshua) Lord and Savior of your life, he will give you the Holy Spirit to reside in you. The Holy Spirit will comfort you, guide you, convict you, lead you, intercede for you, and give you revelation. He also gives you gifts. Seek him daily, for we serve an awesome God (Yahweh).
When we believe in the finished work of Yeshua and accept his sacrificial blood atonement, we are new creatures in Christ and are saved. Worship Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) every day in Spirit and in truth, and be obedient to reading his Word.
Yeshua Hamashiach came to establish a relationship with each one of us if we receive him and believe in the Gospel and what he did for us all. He came for relationship, not religion.
Religious activity or mighty works in the name of Jesus (Yeshua) are not indicators of genuine faith. It is not about the number of religious or good deeds one does, but about the genuineness of our relationship with Jesus (Yeshua).
What an Impact Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) Has on Humanity
Not only did Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) live a sinless life, he also taught about the Kingdom of God, showing us how to live and what it takes to enter into his Kingdom. He demonstrated selflessness and service, and he brought the Good News of salvation—that it is a free gift from God, Yahweh, for all who believe. He became poor so that we may become rich. He showed humility, selflessness, and service.
The most incredible act of selflessness and service was when he sacrificed himself on the cross, taking on the punishment for our sins and sicknesses. By his wounds we have been made well. Jesus (Yeshua) demonstrated his ultimate act of grace and mercy. By doing so, we can come to him freely, since he made a new covenant with us, found in the New Testament (KJV).
Yeshua Hamashiach came to establish a relationship with each one of us. He came for relationship, not religion. If we make time for him every day, he wants to converse and communicate with us. If we are sincere and consistent in our walk with him, we will hear from him.
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) will meet you wherever you are, exactly as you are. There is no sin too great that he will not forgive. Ask him for forgiveness, turn away from it, ask Jesus (Yeshua) into your heart, and give him your life—for he gave his life for you. Be reborn in the Spirit and walk according to his will for you!
You don’t need a church building, a pastor, or a priest to do this. Go to a quiet place and cry out to God. Still, finding a Bible-teaching church that preaches the truth of Scripture, Psalms, and prayer, and that teaches how to live, can be beneficial to your walk with Jesus (Yeshua).
If you abide in him and his words abide in you, having God’s Word within you will lead to answered prayers. Trust in him alone, and he will direct your path.
One way to hear from him is through prayer and by reading God’s (Yahweh’s) Word. When you pray, ask God to speak to you through his Word. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in how to approach the Scriptures. Ask him to open your eyes and your heart to hear from him.
A Sample Prayer
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your Word.
Thank You for allowing me to learn more about You and Your will.
Please help me hear the small voice of the Holy Spirit.
Please help me understand the message that You, O Lord, have for me, and help me put it into practice in my life.
Give me wisdom to discern, a humble heart to accept, and courage to do Your will.
In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
Saying Yes to Jesus
When you say yes to Jesus (Yeshua) for what he did on the cross, there is an exchange that takes place. He died for you, giving you his life, and he expects you to give him your life—every part of it. We are to depend on him to provide and take care of us in every area of our lives. Without Jesus (Yeshua), we are nothing.
You have to have faith and believe in his promises, which are throughout Scripture. If you do not, you are going to hold on to some area in your life, not letting Jesus take care of it. That part of your life can become messy if it is not given over to him. The more you hold on to an area of your life without giving it over to Jesus (Yeshua) to work out for you, the more you are treading on thin ice.
John 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.”
Jesus requires all of your life—the good days and the bad days. Every day we are to die to self. We are not to take it upon ourselves to do everything on our own, because apart from him, as he says, we can do nothing. Jesus works in and through us with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, which he gives to each one of us when we make him Lord and Savior. Seek him every day. Worship him in Spirit and in truth. When we say yes to Jesus and to his will for our lives, he blesses us, and we become new creatures in him.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
1 John 5:11–12
“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
Not only is Jesus (Yeshua) a loving God, but he is also a just God who requires obedience. Denying yourself, picking up your cross, and following him is what he asks of us. He will teach you how to live, transform your life, and bless you. He died for salvation.
Heaven is not for people who live for themselves, but for people who die to self—to their ego, their emotions, their sinful ways. Hell is for those who choose to live their own way, partying and doing their own thing. Without God, you are your own god.
True salvation means taking the life Jesus (Yeshua) gave and giving him yours. There is nothing you can do to earn salvation. It is a free gift Yeshua Hamashiach paid for, but you were bought with a price! Glorify God, for he paid for you. Jesus (Yeshua) wants us to surrender to God’s will and purpose, for each person has a purpose.
Jesus (Yeshua) wants everyone to come to him as they are. He will help you see the light if you have been in the dark, for Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) is the Light of the world. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—our true King of Kings.
The call to baptism is a call to decide whether one is truly ready to declare that Christ is Lord and to submit to the Spirit’s sanctifying work, which begins with a clean slate—a fresh start. Baptism is what you spiritually do.
Repentance involves turning away from sin and acknowledging your need for forgiveness. Belief in Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) as the Messiah is essential for salvation, as stated in Mark 16:16: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.”
Baptism is an outward sign of faith and commitment, symbolizing the washing away of sins and the receiving of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
Peter said, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.”
We are to remain in Jesus (Yeshua) every day.
Salvation, Baptism, and the Holy Spirit
Salvation is a gift from God, accompanied by the responsibility to live righteously and demonstrate faith through action. The door into God’s Kingdom—the door of salvation—is a commitment. It does not mean dabbling in the Kingdom and dabbling in the world. It is a total commitment.
Salvation occurs when one believes in Jesus Christ (Yeshua) for salvation. There is nothing you can do to earn it. Yes, it is a free gift Jesus paid for, but you were bought for a price! Salvation is free, yet it costs—because Jesus gave his life for you. Glorify God, for he paid for you. That means he owns you.
Once you receive salvation, there is a commitment on your part to give your life to Jesus Christ. Surrender to God’s will and purpose. Jesus (Yeshua) wants everyone to come to him just as they are. He will help you see the light if you have been in the dark, for Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) is the Light of the world. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—our true King of Kings.
There is an exchange that takes place. When Jesus (Yeshua) died for you, giving you his life, he expects you to give him your life—every part of it. We are to depend on him to provide and to take care of us in every area of our lives. Without Jesus (Yeshua), we are nothing.
You have to have faith and believe in his promises, which are throughout Scripture. If you do not, you will hold onto some area in your life without letting Jesus take care of it. That part of your life can become messy if it is not given over to him.
When you believe and receive Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) as your Lord and Savior, he will give you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will teach you, guide you, and reveal things to come.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach — His true name!)
1 Corinthians 15:1–4
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Yeshua died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
Yeshua is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. (Where is the life in your body? The life is in the blood.) Trust in the blood of Yeshua and what He did for us on the cross.
Romans 3:24–26
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Yeshua:
25 Whom Yah, our Heavenly Father, hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yah;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Yeshua.
Romans 10:9–10
If you confess with your mouth Yeshua and believe in your heart that God (Yah) raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is about having an intimate relationship with Jesus (Yeshua), birthed out of sincerity and humility, reading his Word and praying daily.
John 3:16–18
16 For God (Yahweh) so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) died on the cross bearing our sins and sicknesses in his body. He sacrificed himself so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. We are saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach). It is not of any works we do, lest any man should boast. Our salvation is found in him alone. The moment you put your faith and trust in the blood of Jesus (Yeshua)—the moment you accept him as Lord and Savior—you are saved and justified by the blood of Yeshua.
