Hear God’s Voice — Part 3

October 23, 2023

We know from Scripture that God wants to speak to His children. But what hinders us from hearing God’s voice? Join Nate and Gabe as they share key hindrances that block our ability to hear from God. We may feel like God doesn’t speak to us, however often the problem is that we cannot hear Him because we are listening to something else.

One of the biggest things that will motivate us to turn aside from the busy things of life in order to hear God’s voice is the realization that God wants to speak to us! In order to hear from Him, we will have to turn aside from other things — entertainment, music, activities, busyness, etc. But let us be encouraged to know that as we spend time in His Word, as we make seeking Him a priority, He will give us listening hearts — He will give us “ears to hear” His voice.
