We all want God to speak to us. That’s not even usually something that we would question.

The real question is, “are we ready for Him when He does?”.

We teach on this topic in our newest video, Speak to Me.

We talk about some of the different aspects of God speaking to us, and we even include some examples from our own lives.

This video is fun and informative, so we hope you’ll join us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-21

Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

It’s 2 AMPlease click to watch the video now. and you’re suddenly awake, seemingly for no reason at all. What do you do? Do you roll over and go back to sleep? 

That’s the question we ask in today’s video, 2 AM. 

Today we teach about those middle-of-the-night wake-ups that we sometimes view as not so pleasant, and maybe even not so welcome. 

This video is short, fun and to the point. So, we hope you’ll take a few minutes (literally) and watch it.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

Why don’t I hear from God? Why doesn’t He talk to me? 

These are questions that most of us ask from time to time. And they are legitimate questions. 

In today’s video, He Will Direct Your Paths, we teach on this very topic, sharing insights on the different ways God speaks to us, and why we sometimes don’t hear Him. 

We think this will be eye-opening for many, so we do hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-17

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 

It’s funny that we always seem to associate God with Big, booming, exciting things. 

A loud voice from heaven, tremendous miracles that cause everyone to gasp or stand in awe, or any number of other similar things always seem to stand out to us. 

Despite what we think, though, God is most often found in the things that are easily missed. And the closer we draw to Him, the more easily we begin to recognize those small, subtle, quiet things. 

Early morning quiet time, gentle whispers of reassurance, reminders of His love for us, that gentle knowing deep inside of us and seeing His word stand out to us when we read it are some of the things that we will begin to see and appreciate when we begin to press in and learn of Him. 

And while amazing, eye-catching miracles, and signs and wonders are incredible to behold, it is our relationship with Him that pulls us through from day to day, no matter what comes against us. 

Press into Him. Draw near to Him. Listen for that still small voice. And be in awe.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-17

Numbers 22:27 (NKJV) 27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff. 

Sometimes God will use some pretty unconventional ways of getting our attention and speaking to us. 

And at times He will use people, that we may not necessarily like or prefer, to get a message across to us or to teach us something. 

It’s not uncommon for us to discount certain people or ignore God’s messages to us when they come via these less-than-preferred messengers. But that’s a costly mistake that can hurt us badly if we don’t make corrections and listen to what they have to say. 

Balaam was on His way to a place that God had told Him not to go unless He specifically ordered him to do so. God’s anger was aroused toward Balaam and He placed a large angel in his path to block him from proceeding. 

When the donkey he was riding saw the angel and refused to go further, Balaam stuck the donkey three different times, until God actually opened the mouth of the donkey to rebuke him. 

We can be pretty sure that a donkey was the last thing that Balaam expected to hear talking to him and rebuking him. 

But if God chooses to speak through a donkey, He will do so. And it’s not up to us to decide whether we will listen or not, just because we don’t like the messenger. 

Yes, it’s important that we very carefully weigh the words that are spoken to us. But if someone comes to us with true words of God, it will benefit us greatly if we put aside our preferences as to the delivery method and pay attention to what is being said to us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-6-17

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

The Lord speaks to His children, each and every one of us, from time to time. Many people ask what His voice sounds like. We get asked quite frequently, “how do I hear God’s voice?”.

Learning to hear His voice takes time. It also requires a willingness on our part to stop what we are doing and hear what He is saying. It takes us listening to what we hear and then doing what He may be asking us to do. It’s a faith walk.

Sometimes we may find ourselves making a mistake, thinking we were doing the right thing. Later we realize it was not Him, but merely our own desire or idea.

It’s OK if we have missed it at times. We just need to repent and get back on the right track. God does not expect us to be perfect at this.

To learn His voice takes drawing close to Him and, over time, we will get better at it.

We are always learning as we go and it doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes listening and discerning, which the Holy Spirit will help us with as we go.

Don’t be afraid to ask God to speak to you and to help you with your decisions. He is always willing and ready.

Just listen. He may bring the answer to us in a way we would never have expected. So we need to be open minded and use His word as our guide and our measuring stick. His voice will always line up with His word, the Holy Bible.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-12-17

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

How do we hear God? How do we know what He’s saying to us? How do we distinguish His voice when He speaks to us?

As we’ve mentioned before, this is one of the most frequently asked questions we get.

Sometimes hearing God is as simple as getting alone with Him, shutting out the rest of the world, and listening. Listening for that still small voice.

Our world is so busy. We have so very many things vying for our time and attention. And with all of that noise and all of those distractions, it can make it very hard to hear anything else, including God’s voice.

So sometimes we need to take steps to shut down the noise and cut off the distractions and separate ourselves from the pull of the world… and sit quietly with God.

Shut off the smartphone. Turn off the tablet. Power down the computer. Turn off the TV. And maybe even turn off the worship music. Yes, even the worship music can be a distraction at times.

And then we just need to get on our face before God.

Then, and only then will we hear Him speak. Only when we have created an environment that’s conducive to listening will we be able to hear Him. And as we spend time alone in the quiet, we need to be sure we’re not spending the entire time talking.

God wants to hear from us. But if we spend the entire time talking, we will never hear Him when He does speak.

Disconnect. Separate. Listen. Hear.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-17

Proverbs 8:32 (NKJV) 32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.

How do we hear God’s voice? This is a question that we get asked a lot.

God is God and He speaks to us in many different ways. We don’t know exactly how He will speak to you. But, we can say that He will communicate with you in a way that works for you. He is faithful!

Developing a relationship with Him is the main thing that helps us understand God when He speaks to us or prompts us. If we don’t know Him, it will be hard for us to discern if it is truly Him speaking or not.

The first things to do is learn about Him. The only way to do this is through reading His word. We learn His personality, His likes and dislikes, etc. Everything about Him is in there.

As we read the scriptures, communication with Him begins. We become one with Him as we open up and let His Words penetrate and change our heart.

It takes time, and even some trial and error on our end. But don’t give up. Keep going to Him and keep trying. We can even learn from our mistakes if we miss what God was saying to us.

Praying plays a big part in hearing God’s voice as well. We don’t have to spend hours doing this. Start by going to Him for small things that maybe we’re not sure about. Ask Him for His advice and what He wants us to do even in the small things. He loves to be included.

I’m amazed that even those small things that seem insignificant to us, He will take the time and help us through them.

And when we pray, we need to be sure we’re doing as much listening as we are talking. Many times we make the mistake of thinking that praying is only about us telling God what we want. We can fail to take the time to listen after we’re finished making our requests. And this is a big mistake.

It’s never too late to start learning God’s voice.

If you are involved in something today and you’re feeling like something’s not quite right, stop what you’re doing. Pull back and go to God. Ask Him to help you.

He will meet you there.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-16

Psalm 95:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

How do we hear His voice?

We hear His voice when He becomes our God. We hear His voice when we decide to open up and listen. We hear His voice when we let Him have control over our situations, over our lives. We hear His voice when we pull back and let Him move.

It’s not hard to hear the voice of God. What is hard, and the thing we struggle the most with, is letting Him be God in our life.

If we can do this He will speak and show us all that He has for us and all that He wants to do with us and through us!

He will help us through the toughest of tough times. He will free us from the things in life that would want to take us out. He will love on us with His mercy and grace.

Oh come, let us Worship Him today. Bow down. Kneel before Him. He is our Lord and our Maker. Hear His voice. He is speaking.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-26-14

Numbers 22:28(NKJV)28 Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

If God wants to speak to any of us, He will find a way.

We can spend a lot of our time trying to figure things out and we can get so preoccupied with it, that we can miss the help that He sends our way because it’s not what or how we expected it to be.

Part of helping us is bringing the right people around us, at the right time. He also uses circumstances to help us learn certain things. And maybe, at times, we don’t like the person He may be using or we don’t like the circumstances He has us in, and we try hard to get out of it or lose the person that should be helping us.

There are many different ways He will show us things. As we see in this verse, He used a donkey. He opened its mouth and the donkey spoke what was needed to be said. Who would have thought that a donkey would speak?

Be open and willing to let God speak to us in any way that He chooses. We can’t be picky or we may miss out on the help that we need, or miss the solution to our problem.

He is a faithful God and nothing is impossible for Him.
