If we only speak to God and never take time to listen, we make the same mistake.We do all the talking and we don’t actually listen to him. But our relationship with God is meant to be a two-way conversation.
In Proverbs 3:1-10 it says… ‘ My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.’
To write down thoughts that come into my mind that may come from the Spirit of God. In a media-saturated age we have many voices that come to us on TV, radio, the Internet, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email and text message. We have the voices of family, friends and colleagues. And sometimes we have the voice of Satan tempting us to disbelieve God’s word and to doubt that God has our best interests at heart.
How do you hear the voice of God in the midst of the noise and distractions of life?
I hear my Lord in prayers and worship with other Christian people. That’s also how He share what he wants the other person. To help he/she to understand what the Lord is trying to say wants for that person. Most the times I feel the Lord use me and my gift to reach this other person when he/she has a hard time to understand it is from the Lord, what the he/she has asked for. But can’t hear the Lord for all the noices in the head or in the background in her/his life. Very related to hear the lords voice.
Sometimes the Lord talk to me through pictures, other times through a bible vers. Most comman I hear the Lord talk to me with simple Positive and Encourging Words to reach the other person to recive.
We all need to learn our way how the Lord is talking to each of us.
If I don’t have the oppurtunity to be in worship or praying with other Christian people, I go for a walk to clear my brain to hear better. I rather have a noicy sea or a forest around me to hear the Lords voice than a city. But lately I have also heard his voice through music, pod cast’s. Very few times through a dream. And recived a message from Him.
He’ll use the same ways we use! We just need to be open for it.
