We know God has spoken to us when we respond in reverence and repentance, recognizing our need for Him.
The evidence of having heard God speak is often manifested in our deep sense of reverence for Him. In Habakkuk 3:2, the prophet expresses fear in response to hearing God's speech, indicating a profound recognition of God's holiness and our sinful state. This fear is not merely a natural apprehension of judgment; it is a godly fear that draws us to worship Him. Additionally, when God speaks to our hearts, we find ourselves pleading for mercy and seeking life in Christ, acknowledging that salvation is solely His work. This response is a clear indication that we have encountered the living God who reveals Himself to His people.
