Hearing God
1 brave thing: Speaking with God
In the Christian faith, we are told we can hear from God. I want to hear from God so I’ve been asking some big questions. What should be 40s look like? Am I living up to my potential? Am I person God wants me to be? To help me, I invited my local pastor over for tea for an intentional chat about these items.
Why it matters. What’s the point in being a Christian if you can’t talk with God? I could read books about other religions, philosophers, and good teachers. Knowing God might be the single most important thing we do during our lives. So it seems worth a brave moment to ask for help and seek advice in this arena of life.
4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice: this was what my pastor taught me on the topic of hearing God.
Stop- quiet yourself (Psalm 37:7)
Look- imagine you are with Jesus (Habakkuk 12:2)
Listen- be aware of your thoughts and pay attention to the spontaneous flow of thought
Write- journal any revelation and steward the words God provides
I’ll keep listening.
