“When believers aren’t reading the Bible, they are easily deceived, because their relationship with God is dealt within the realm of the feelings instead of in the realm of truth.”

[@freeborn7]

Man, this golf testimony is almost identical to mine. He told me I needed to kneel beside the bed every night and pray. And so I did, for many months. Months later I was seeking him waaaay more than just kneeling beside the bed to pray. So one day, I knelt to pray and he says "You don't need to do this anymore, I have your attention".

[@JESUSWASBORNINBETHLEHEM]

1. Business/Distractions - having your attention diverted - hobbies, cell phones, things, relationships, work 2. Competing voices - make an appointment with God. Read your Bible or you will be easily deceived and misled because your relationship with god becomes more around the realm of your feelings instead of the realm of truth. - Even in your waiting phase be busy doing things. - Schedule your day! 3. Unprepared heart - Keep your heart soft and fertile through - worship, reading Bible and reflecting - Prayer, reverential fear of the lord - “ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” (Matthew 6:21). Before you give someone your heart, you must determine the condition of theirs. 4. Not having your heart in a neutral position Having Idols set up in your heart Covetousness - a strong desire for something you believe is good for you. Stubbornness- push back from what we know God has said in his word. - Giving your strength and love to something more than God - hold things above God in your heart - every time you ask God for something make sure your heart is neutral to accept the answer you receive 5. Sin / disobedience

If you want to hear God speak, read your bible. If you want to hear Him audibly, read it out loud! Never trust a voice in your head, over Gods word!

[@debihester7284]

If you get baptized in the Holy Spirit, you can hear him speak. But he will never contradict his Word.

[@j_fbi7610]

Exactly. People think they need to hear an audible voice guiding them, and that couldn’t be more wrong. Voices in your head are manifestations of your thoughts. Thoughts that can be guided by what your brain believes to be true. If you want guidance when making important decisions it’s really simple. 1. Read your Bible, because it holds the truth you need to live the way God wants you to. 2. Pray that you would correctly interpret that truth. 3. Make decisions joyfully within the freedom of that truth.

[@stephenhagen234]

He speaks in our heart and mind thru His word. The more we know His word the more we will recognize when He is speaking to us.

[@pcdeltalink036]

@@j_fbi7610 He can speak within your mind though and, from what I've seen, this is far more common than hearing an audible voice anyway. Can some of those cases be manifestations of thought? Yes but I do not think it is fair to always dismiss them as such. In my own life God has spoken to me within my mind twice, with about a 20 year gap in between that. And part of how I knew it was him speaking was not only what he said but that I could recognize that what I was hearing in my mind was not from me.

[@Queen-ul7fr]

I have been struggling for weeks trying to finish projects and apply for things I realize I have been coveting, and that I never truly asked the Lord for with a neutral heart. I said I wanted to hear His voice and obey Him, but in this situation I think I made up what I wanted to hear and went with it saying well "the Lord cares about what I care about, so let me pray for what I care about", not leaving space for the Lord to tell me what He cared about most in that time. I was so foolish and stubborn. I am grateful that the Lord led me to this video and opened my eyes. Now, I understand that I have erred and I need to repent. Thank you Lord God for this revealation and the opportunity to repent. Thank you Lord for using your servant John to share this message, may he be highly blessed and favored for his obedience. May he experience even greater grace and mercy in his own struggles/missteps. Amen.

[@HermaeusM]

I feel that God “speaks” by answering my prayers for spiritual blessings (strength, healing, patience etc..) On the one occasion I heard a soft but firm voice that told me “just be yourself” when I was spiraling with depression and thinking I was not worthy. As if to say “don’t force yourself, you’re my child and I’ll always love you. And I’ll *always* be here.” 🥲

5 Barriers That Keep Us from Hearing God and solutions: 1. Busyness (distractions) --> making time for God first 2. Competing voices --> focus on God first 3. Unprepared heart and being biased towards a path. --> having a neautral heart that is open to any path by worship, always rejoicing, reading God's word, prayer, fasting, having reverent fear of the Lord, fully forgiving others and yourself and being humble 4. ldols set up in your heart. --> putting God first 5. Sin/disobedience --> abide in faith, hope and most importantly God's love and grace to avoiding sin

This.. is so awesome. So many thank the person then God. All thanks and praise go to the Father of our lord Jesus Christ. When we take that thanks we took His glory. No man will glory in His site. I use to try to thanks this Grand mother that prayed 4 hours a day. Wow so much power of GOD. When she prayed it happened. Just saying thank you "NO never thank me thank Christ/God" so forth so on.

[@lesliechrisco2189]

Jesus was compassionate to those who were broken. He was very strong in his address of religious people who were one thing publicly and another thing privately. They hated him because he confronted and exposed there hipocrocey.

[@0xF15h]

A walk with God, and a relationship starts with looking for Him, and keeps straight through constant prayer and meditation with Him. Keeping in His word, and saying no to evil things. It is a straight path we find, and we are here to shine the light that is God's Word, and the Light of Christ more brightly on a day to day basis to those who seek and love Him.

[@namelessfaceless1230]

UNBELIEVE (="God would not talk to me") is also a big big one. [James 1:5-7] If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. He talks, but it is us, shutting our ears, when we don't trust him.

Wow I'm only halfway through this video and it's already speaking directly to me! Especially about the golf addiction! I'm in the middle of that now and told my family yesterday that I was going to put my clubs up for a little while. So of course I stumble on this video today. I read the Bible daily and watch sermons daily as well but am still addicted to distractions I realize. It's so bad that my friends that I have a group text with, renamed the group God and Golf to give me a hard time since that's all I ever talk to them about these days. I'm hoping the end of the video addresses this. What if you do have too many distractions in your life but still spend daily time with God? Since I have been saved 3 years ago, it seems like I'll do anything to not have to deal with this world. So I "think" I use the distractions to escape the world at times and not necessarily God. But my job and my family suffer I realize after typing this out and I don't want that to be the case anymore!

[@patrickmba7638]

That's an interesting situation. You make time for God but still admit to many distractions. Thinking about it, I might be in a somewhat similar boat myself . Not exactly ,but similar. I think coming up with a schedule might help. Especially as we are forced to face up to the importance or otherwise of what is going to be on the schedule.

Okay I go back on my previous comment somewhat, perhaps there is more going on than I realized, but I'm used to having a Father that didn't always talk to me and always made me feel not good enough, with God it's the same story again, effectively doubling the previous pain, except now it's infinitely worse. However I am strong, and let God's will be done. There's only so much that can be taken from you until you go numb forever. I just hope it's not too late to hear from God one day just in case before it's too late. Prayer would be nice, thanks fam.

[@ReadyToFly24]

God isn't silent, we have his word.

[@patrickmba7638]

That's the written word. I believe he's referring to the Rhema word. Which i believe is God's spoken word for our now season. Eg, when the Holy Spirit asked the disciples to separate Saul and Barnabas for the work he had called them to. They didn't read it in any scripture. The Holy Spirit TOLD them.

[@julietabah4928]

​@@patrickmba7638exactly, God bless you Patrick. People keep saying he speaks in His words and that's enough forgetting that we have our personal lives that God is still interested in. We can use the scripture as a guide and a check to test if a voice is God's but God still tells us things about our everyday lives like the food we eat, the clothes to wear, the friends we keep, what we should say or do, who to marry, places to go to per time and all of those little personal issues we think He's not interested in.

[@purlofgreatprice1]

Dear friend, if you came back to God in repentance and godly sorrow, you did hear from Him. If you actually received His forgiveness and walk in it daily, you will know that He took you back. Meditating on the scripture about His love, forgiveness, and His gift of righteousness, reading them aloud, will absolutely strengthen your spirit, soul and body. This is hearing from Him. His mercy endures forever. ❤️🙏

You didn’t cover the point regarding sickness and not being able to hear because your pain is so great, how can you hear in this situation?

[@GODJWilly]

By praying and thanking God for delivering your pain, to be able to listen clearly. Look for the signs God can also show you, giving you inspiration to change any behavior made by the pain. Every sign we receive differs from one another as our walks are all different. When you see a sign of something you need to change, immediately act upon it and you may be humbled in that moment to be released from the pain, and begin a new journey free from stress. Prayer will keep you free of pain. God Bless you along your path.🙌🏽

@@GODJWilly Hi guys thank you for your message, when you have done all you know it’s a matter of waiting. ( it’s not Gods intention for us to wait) but that’s the way it’s been in churches, It’s unfortunate that people pray all the time yet Jesus didn’t pray he just rebuked the spirit behind the sickness and the person was delivered. All the people in church only offer to pray and as much as I’m grateful for them it’s not what Jesus did. that’s why so many are sick around us, but we can’t fight the system until the want to be enlightened. Appreciate you stay blessed.

with the example of praying for marriage, you mentioned you should be neutral when praying. If we know we are praying with specifics in mind, should we pray?

Should the guy in the example simply prayed to be married or ask if he’s meant to be married? What difference would that wording had made when in his heart he knew he wanted to be with the cutie?

ALL we need to do is to read the Bible and follow the Gospel of the LORD, and all your prayers will be answered in the time of the LORD and not when we want. We need to learn to stay calm and continue in obedience to our Heavenly Father and to be at peace and not all nervous and full of worries. The only worries we should have is how we are standing in the presence of the LORD.

Im not sure where it says things will go well in your lives. Jesus and the disciples obeyed, things didnt go well. Are you sure you arent a prosperity gospeler? I would say Job obeyed God but things didnt go well. If things are going well is it possible you are following the god of this world? In my opinion Satan goes after good people, he leaves the bad ones alone or even blesses them for following him. Why are we told to endure till the end if this life was so easy just by obeying God?
