What is God saying to you?

We all want to hear God’s voice. When we have heard that still small voice in our hearts and knew it was the voice of God speaking, what a thrill and what joy. Everything inside jumps up and declares, “there really is a God!” Those words of encouragement, confirmation and reassurance are like finding pure gold or the greatest treasure. For every heart that has experienced the voice of God to them personally, a yearning to hear every day and every moment grows and for many this becomes a lifelong quest to be a friend of God and one who dialogues with Him on a regular basis. One of the greatest joys is to have a friendly chat with the King of kings.

Many people have asked, “how can we hear the voice of God?” or “what must I do to hear the voice of God?” The most critical key to hearing the voice of God is in this statement, “We may only hear the voice of God to the extent that self is silent.” The un-yielded self, the selfish self, tends to scream out opinions, defensiveness, judgements, prejudices, fears, doubts, unbelief, self-pity and holds on to past experiences and education against anything new that sounds like a threat to the identity we have become.  To hear God’s voice is to let go of all these things and let God Be God, above and beyond what we think or what we know. Listen, He is speaking and wants you to hear Him and share in a beautiful conversation.
