Understanding Your Right Brain for Hearing God’s Voice

Understanding Your Right Brain for Hearing God’s Voice

Hearing God’s voice is central to having effective devotional times for Christian growth. This post will help you do that.

How do you sense and hear God? I believe it takes some right-brain awareness to hear Him.
Differences in functions:
Left Brain = logical, details, facts, practicality, science, and math.
Right Brain = creativity, feeling, intuition, symbols, images.

A few interesting observations on the subject:
Living in a world that is hugely left-brained, we end up with a much more material focus rather than a spiritual one.

One stream of thought says that left-brain focused culture shuts down the feminine. We have taught this idea in the Father’s love messages–The Great Commission vs. The Great Commandment. I have wondered for years why radical Islam treats women so poorly. Most men I know like women. However, if the devil can get a society to oppress women, he can really shut down love, nurture, spiritual things, and beauty in life. This creates an environment much more conducive to his activities of evil.

The language of the spirit is intuition, impressions, images, feeling, and pictures. Consider all the various word pictures God gave to people in scripture: a burning bush, four creatures with wheels within wheels, a valley with dry bones, golden candlesticks…

Here’s a fun test you can take to give you an idea of your right and left brain activity.
Right brain vs. left brain

If we’re having a hard time sensing the Lord, maybe we need to develop our right brain a little more.
