Unleash the Warrior Within. Hear God’s voice.
Holy Spirit Intelligence (HSI), is our individual ability to hear God’s voice and then act on His command. Like a General in the Army, we are soldiers and warriors for the Kingdom of God. Most of us don’t hear an audible voice like a friend, wife, or husband standing in a room next to us telling us what to do. We get a crazy dream that we can’t interpret. Or maybe we hear or see something on TV or the Internet and think, “Is this a coincidence?” and think “Man, that’s really weird.”
HSI is for everyday Christians. Christians like you and me who want to use our talents and gifts to glorify the Lord. So how do we hear His voice? Understanding the process of His Holy command and acting as if it’s an order from the Chairman of the highest, most righteous Supreme court in all the universe. Jesus Christ himself is the first step in the process. He is talking to us, but are we actively listening?
Active listening for His voice takes time and discernment. Praying and asking God on a daily basis to hear His voice and act on His command takes discipline and rigor. Am I willingly able to give my life and agenda to Him every morning or everyday? If you have never acted on His voice, it takes faith, confidence, and repetition. Are you willingly able to change your calendar and respond to His voice? How about blessing an organization financially or giving some of your personal resources to them?
HSI is for normal everyday Christians who are able to discern His voice and act on His command. This is like the FBI and CIA, or top secret officials taking direct orders from the President of the United States, except our President is the Supreme Ruler of the universe with unlimited power over mind, body, and spirit. One day, all knees will bow to the Supreme Ruler of the universe, and He doesn’t have a four-year term. He is the ruler, now and forever, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. Start hearing His voice and apply rigor to your actions today, and become a warrior for the Kingdom of God. Every day He is always attempting to talk to us. It’s our ability to tap into His daily messages. An HSI warrior can hear His voice daily and act on His command. Understanding and embracing this power is where HSI begins.
Remember, Jesus Christ places us in the marketplace with God to show His glory through our talents and abilities. Our heavenly father paid the ultimate price for our freedom and liberty. He boldly and courageously died on the Cross for our sins for every generation that will ever live on the planet, including you, your children, and grandchildren. Glorifying Him in your everyday walk by hearing His voice. Start your day by asking to hear His voice and reorganize your time. Transform your mind, body, and spirit to become an HSI Warrior.
So how do we hear His voice?
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is the warm-up before embracing HSI. Because we are here to glorify God with our talents and abilities, He is attempting to talk to us every day. Understanding the process of Holy Spirit Intelligence is critical to hearing His voice. Embracing His voice is like embracing an order from the highest, most righteous supreme authority in all of the universe. He is talking to us, but are we actively listening?
Every day He is always attempting to talk to us. It’s our ability to tap into His daily messages. An HSI warrior can hear His voice daily and act on His command. Understanding and embracing this power is where HSI begins.
What is HSI?
Holy Spirit Intelligence (HSI) is our ability to hear God’s voice and act on His guidance. It’s not just for pastors or spiritual leaders – it’s for everyday Christians like you who want to use your gifts to honor God.
Most of us don’t hear an audible voice like someone standing next to us. Instead, God often speaks through:
-
Persistent thoughts that keep returning
-
“Coincidences” that seem too perfect to be random
-
Messages that appear in different places and ways
The 7-Step HSI Process
Here’s how to recognize God’s voice through Holy Spirit Intelligence:
Initial Impression – A passing thought happens.
Action Step: Park it.
First Confirmation – Someone or something in your daily life reveals that same thought, either verbally or visually.
Action Step: Park it.
Prayerful Patience – Keep the thought parked. Pray for discernment.
Action Step: Park it.
Second Confirmation – That same thought appears again through a different source in your daily life, either visually or verbally.
Action Step: Park it.
Mentor Verification – Test the thought with Christian mentors and scripture to ensure it will glorify God’s Kingdom.
Third Confirmation – That same thought appears yet again through a different channel in your daily life.
Action Step: Take Action
Faith Activation – Gas pedal time. Taking action will require a leap of faith and will likely feel uncomfortable. This action step is what transforms you into an HSI warrior.
This process rarely happens quickly. It might unfold over weeks, months, or even years. God’s timing is different from ours, and He’s more concerned with our growth than our speed.
Frequently Asked Questions About HSI
Q: How do I start training myself to hear God’s voice?
A: Like any skill, hearing God’s voice takes practice. Start by setting aside dedicated time each day. Begin with a simple prayer: “Lord, I want to hear You today. Help me recognize Your voice.” Consistency is more important than length—even 5 minutes daily will make a difference.
Q: I’m always busy. When am I supposed to listen for God?
A: Create intentional quiet spaces in your day. Set aside 10–15 minutes of silence away from distractions. Turn off your phone, step away from screens, and just listen. Many find early morning or right before bed works best, but the specific time matters less than making it a priority.
Q: How do I know if what I’m hearing is really from God or just my own thoughts?
A: Keep a Journal. Write it down. Over time, you’ll notice patterns and confirmations as these thoughts appear in other contexts. This journal becomes evidence of God’s faithfulness and helps you recognize His voice more clearly.
Q: Should I tell others about what I think God is saying to me?
A: Yes! Find 2–3 trusted Christians who can serve as accountability partners. These people should know Scripture well and have demonstrated discernment in their own lives. They can help you test what you’re hearing and provide wisdom on whether it aligns with God’s character and Word.
Q: Does God really speak to ordinary people today, or was that just in biblical times?
A: God has always communicated with His people. Throughout the Bible, we see countless examples of God speaking to ordinary individuals:
“The Lord said to Moses…” (Exodus 4:21)
“The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord…” (Jeremiah 7:1)
“My sheep listen to my voice…” (John 10:27)
Gen 3:8 “And they (Adam and Eve) heard the sound of the Lord…”
Ex 4:21 “The Lord said to Moses…”
Gen 12:1 “Now the Lord said to Abram…”
Joshua 1:1 “The Lord spoke to Joshua…”
Is 8:1 “Then the Lord said to me (Isaiah)…”
Jer 7:1 “The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord…”
Jn 5:30 “I can do nothing on My own initiative, as I hear, I judge…”
Acts 11:12 “And the Spirit told me (Peter) to…”
Rev 1:10–11 “I (John) was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I hear behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet, saying ‘Write a book what you see…’”
Heb 12:22, 24–25 “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God…and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant…See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking”
Habakkuk 2:1–2 “I will stand on my guard post…And will keep watch and see what He will speak to me…Then the Lord said…Record the vision….”
Jesus Himself promised in John 10:16 that His followers “will listen to my voice.” God’s communication with His people didn’t end when the Bible was completed—He continues to speak today.
Q: How can I be sure I’m not just making things up or hearing what I want to hear?
A: Even experienced believers sometimes question whether they’re truly hearing from God or just creating meaning from coincidence. Use these four reliable filters:
-
Bible Alignment Test: Does this message contradict Scripture? God will never guide you to do something that conflicts with His written Word.
-
Peace Test: Despite challenging circumstances, God’s voice brings an underlying peace. As Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”
-
Community Confirmation: Proverbs 11:14 – “In the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Seek input from mature believers who demonstrate wisdom.
-
Fruit Examination: Does it produce love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? (Galatians 5:22–23)
Q: How long does it take to get good at hearing God’s voice?
A: When you begin responding to God’s voice, you become a spiritual warrior. Each divine instruction moves you beyond comfort into kingdom purpose.
At first, hearing God might feel strange or uncertain. But with practice, your confidence grows—not in your ability to hear perfectly, but in God’s commitment to speak clearly.
