Hearing God

Hearing God

Recently I had a conversation with someone I care very much for. This conversation consists of hearing God, or maybe I should say, NOT hearing God.
The statement was “I don’t hear God and I never have”. When I heard this, my heart was grieved because I know this person hears God, but the enemy has them deceived into thinking they don’t and never have.

God speaks to us through our conscious, our heart felt moments, our compassion, our convictions, and many more ways such as His word.
I have a friend who God speaks to through movies, another friend hears God through songs.
God speaks to you on your level and through those things you enjoy. He speaks to you through your way of understanding. That is why many times He sounds like our voice. He can also speak to us through our dreams. The dreams we dream at night and the dreams of our heart.

A couple of days ago I just started singing this song “Ooh Child things are gonna get easier, ooh child things are going to be brighter….some day…lalalala. You get the point. The next thing I knew another roommate came out of her room singing the same song. Throughout the day I would pop out singing the same tune. I knew God was telling me “things are gonna get easier, things are gonna get brighter”. I was having a rough day and that consoled me.

Listen, God speaks! Whether it’s the still small voice, the loud banging symbols, the stirring dreams or a friend speaking. He talks to us all.
Today look for Him, listen for Him. I guarantee He is speaking to you.

As you get closer to Him, things will be clearer and you will see just how much He is talking to you. Don’t let the enemy deceive you into thinking you can’t hear Him. You can….
