Do You Hear Your Name Being Called?
I can remember vividly when I heard God speak to me. It was when He called me out of sin and when He called me as a Prophet of God.
Both times I heard Him speaking to me out loud and I looked around, and no one was there. He did not stop there, but like Samuel He spoke to me again until I responded to the call!
As I was sleeping the other day, I heard a voice in the form of my husband calling out to me and I woke up, looking around and he was not there! This voice was so loud and angelic, that I quickly woke up like Samuel did!
Unlike Elijah who heard a still, small quiet voice, this voice was like unto the one Samuel heard, as though someone was calling from a distance, as though an echo was in the room.
I could hear them calling loud enough for me to look around to give a response!
I believe the LORD is making a clarion call to many in this season and many are hearing God clearly, but they are like unto Samuel and they are not understanding the details of that call.
But if you will continue on to know and to follow God, He will begin to unfold to you the details and the specifics of what He is calling you to do and to know what He wants from you in this season.
As you can see, Samuel was indeed called to be a prophet of God, but he didn’t fully understand the call upon his life. God always has either a mentor whom He has called to help you birth what He has placed on the inside of you, or He can train you directly himself and if He brought you to the call, it is His responsibility to make sure what He has placed on the inside of you, will not be aborted in this season by the enemy.
This is why Samuel went to a more seasoned man of God: Eli, who gave him sound wisdom and advice.
Will everyone be able to help you? Of course not, but those who are led by the spirit of God are the Sons of God.
“So, the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me.
And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. So, as you can see, Samuel didn’t have the knowledge he needed to understand what the spirit was doing and trying to reveal unto him so I believe this is why God had Eli their for such a time as this to push Samuel into his destiny and the purpose God had for his life in this particular season.
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child,” 1 Samuel 3:4-8.
Don’t be at all surprised if God will send someone who will be able to see and to discern your destiny and purpose even before it is revealed unto you in this season just as he did Samuel.
“Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. However, when Samuel finally accepted the call the LORD began to unfold what it was that he wanted to reveal unto him and he was no longer in the dark but it was not until he answered the call and accepted the responsibility that God spoke to him what it was that he wanted from him. Tell somebody, “ANSWER THE CALL!”
And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever,” 1 Samuel 3:9-14.
Samuel’s first assignment was to bring a direct word of judgment to the one that had pushed him into his destiny!
What a hard thing this must have been for him, but I believe God wanted Samuel to know that if he was ever to be his mouth piece he could not fear what man would do unto him so God wanted to test his loyalty, and because Eli was a seasoned man of God he told Samuel I know God has spoken something for you to tell me hide it not!
God is coming in this season with a Word from those whom He is calling to speak a fresh and a direct word from him in this season and he is no respect of person and those that it is for will know that a prophet is indeed among you because he will not let one of his words fall to the ground or return unto him void!
Get ready, God is going to do a new thing and all the ears that hear, will begin to tingle!

I was so tire and went to bed early but I woke up when heard my husband voice in my ear call my name and he was not home that time. I googled to know why I heard my name and this article came to me. I am thankful to read it and read comments too that I am not imagining. I read Bible daily and pray for others and my family. God is in control and I am waiting for him to talk to me audibly to guide me. Amen
Last night around 4am I was asleep and was awoken by hearing my name called very loudly, I checked to see if it was my wife and she was fast asleep, I felt this sudden urge to pray and I did as I always seek the guidance of the Lord in these things. This is the first time I have had this occur, I definitely wasnt dreaming as I am a vivid dreamer.
Hello, the other night as i was laying down i asked the Lord to please speak to me and that I needed to speak to him, never before had I really had a conversation with him talking to me, so i wasnt sure if it would work or not, but i still had faith, and still believed that it would work, i had been feeling a little bit of doubt in me, but my faith overid it, so i prayed about it, i still felt lost, and wanted to do something to help my brotgers and sisters, so i him to please speak to me, just so i have no more doubt left in my mind, and as i was laying down i was like in a meditation state, couldnt move, and was like i was asleap, my heard my name being called calmly, yet stern and with great power and authority in it, and at the time i thought nothing of it, but i didnt realise that he had responded to me! And now i know what he sounds like to me, and the signs. For a while now i have heard ringing noises, and when i do i feel an overwhelming sense to pray. It truely is amazing.
This morning at about 6:45 I woke up to a loud audible male voice that said my name very gentle yet stern. I woke up and the first thing that popped in my head was “what is it” of all the things that I could of said I was like “what” lol my biological father would have told me, “don’t tell me what, say I’m Coming” lol…I then realized that the day prior I was nudged to pray over my sister, and after I prayed and dropped her off home, I was alone in the car being nudged to continue to pray when all of a sudden this consuming feeling to scream out the name of Jesus and save her Jesus, literally like a bat-sh** crazy person and after that episode I was like what on earth just happen, I was kinda just shocked and meditated on the moment on my drive home….maybe GOD heard me and responded with my name?
This morning at about 5:45am I woke up to a loud audible male voice that said my name very gentle yet stern. I asked my boyfriend who was sitting on his computer desk if he called me and he said no.
This isn’t the first time I’m hearing my name being called. In February 2020, I heard my name being called in the early morning hours by a female. It was loud and very stern. When I woke up, I realized there was no one but me in the room.
Again sometime when I was in the university, I heard my name being called. It was a mail voice that called. I answered, jumped down from the bed and went to the parlour but everywhere was dark. This scared me alot.Can someone explain to me why this is happening. At first I thought these calls were my imaginations, but now I think it’s real. Pls I need help.
Hear lately I have been having sleepless nights like to night and I’m not inderstanding why. Last week I heard my name and I woke up with a smile. what does this mean?
About 6 weeks ago, I was waking up from a deep sleep from my recliner, and I heard so clearly a gentle voice call me by my childhood name “Cindy”….I do remember responding bc I said “I’m here”…I was in awe how clearly I had heard it….iI did not understand why I heard that, but my thoughts were that it was the Lord calling me.
I have been praying & reading my bible daily and speaking in tongues every opportunity …I am a believer that if we stay close to God, then we will hear His voice…I heard the same voice again about 2 weeks ago, and this time He gave me instruction that I’m still trying to figure out.
Yesterday evening I was coming from the community meeting, when I got to our apartment I knocked while waiting for my husband to open I heard a voice calling me, but in whispering voice, then I looked n didn’t see anything but the voiced repeated twice again and it looked like it’s from across the street in the community park but when I looked nobody was de. I got scared n rushed inside. My worries is I’ve been seeking God earnestly this days asking him to teach me his ways and also to answer my prayers.
I hope this voice’s won’t confuse me but will help understand him more
Thank you
Hi there. My husband is a relatively new believer just recently baptised praise God. Today he heard his name being called out 2 times. He heard Paul Paul. And then again Paul Paul. He looked both times to see if it was me having a female voice. It wasnt. How can i say that was Gods voice being it was a womans voice? Thanks so much Laura
last night as I had just fallenl asleep, I heard a male voice call my name twice. He was close to me and the voice was urgent. like when you’re mom calls your name when you need to get up for school.
then today, I was napping on the couch and an incredibly loud bell rang. It sounded like an old fashion door bell but much, much louder. it permeated the room. In both instances I immediately woke up.
I have been asking God what he is telling me and what I need to know.
Do you have any insight?
Great insight. Thank you, dear sister Geraldine.
