#1,339: Are You Listening for God's Voice?

We live in a very loud culture. The sound of our day is filled with the voices of media, news, politics, music, movies, sports, social media, friends, teachers, spouses, and much more. We hear it all, but have we heard the voice of God? God doesn’t have a speaking problem. We have a listening problem. He is speaking, and it’s critical to hear what He is saying.

Main Points:

1. I believe God is a speaking God. In fact, I know He is a speaking God. On many occasions, I have heard the voice of God. No, not in an audible voice, but in the quiet of my spirit. God has confirmed his voice many times. You can’t convince me that God does not speak today.

2. The struggle is not God speaking; I believe He is always speaking. The challenge is in listening. We struggle to get quiet before the Lord. We don’t always make time for Him, and sometimes we haven’t been in the practice of listening for his voice.

3. When someone speaks in a whisper, you have to get very close to hear. In fact, you have to put your ear near the person’s mouth. We lean toward a whisper, and that’s what God wants. The goal of hearing your heavenly Father’s voice isn’t just hearing his voice; it’s intimacy with Him.

Today’s Scripture Verses:

Revelation 2:7 - “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says…”
