Episode Description:

Do you believe that God would never talk to you? Do you think some people are so bad that God would never be interested in speaking with them? Gary & Jane share how nothing excludes you from hearing God, even in bizarre ways, but if you want to hear God more clearly, there are several things you can implement in your life. Join them as they unpack these principles.

Episode Notes:

First Principle: If a donkey can hear God, then anyone can hear God.

·        Numbers 22:21-34 – three times, Balaam's donkey saw the angel of the Lord.

·        Many Muslims are hearing and seeing God through dreams.

·        Jamie Winship on identity – he helps people hear from God about their identity.

Second Principle: A more effective question is, "What can I do to hear God more clearly?"

·        Understanding how God speaks and the ways He speaks.

·        Hold on to John 10:2-16, especially verses 2 & 14 – my sheep know my voice. 

·        It is normal to hear God's voice if you are in a relationship with Him. This is an expected reality.

·        Doing life together with Jesus.

Third Principle: Sometimes we don't recognise it is God speaking to us or there's a block.

·        There is usually not only one way that God speaks to us

·        Sometimes, we may have selective hearing.

Summary:

1. If a donkey can hear God, then anyone can hear God.

2. A more effective question, "What can I do to hear God more clearly?"

3. Sometimes, we don't recognise it's God speaking to us or there's a block.

Prophetic activation: 

Settle comfortably and turn your heart and thoughts to Father God. Imagine you're in your favourite place, somewhere calm, relaxing and just you. Now imagine a book in your hands. Open the book and imagine seeing some words or a drawing on the page. What is written or drawn there? What does Jesus want to say to you through those words or picture?
