Episode Description:

Do you wish you could hear God tell you what you are meant to do with your life? In this episode, Jane shares how, when she asked God a different question, the answer fell into place. Join Gary & Jane as they share keys to hearing God about this important topic.

Episode Notes:

Last episode:

·        I shared my dilemma of turning 60 and having a ‘mini mid-life crisis’.

·        Today, we are going to unpack that a bit as I found that several women were having a similar experience.

Jane’s experience: 

·        Watch – time not running out, but outside of time. Don’t get caught up with time.

·        Need God’s perspective.

·        We are not called to live like the world. Romans 12:1-2. 

·        Instead of asking God what I should be doing, focus on the heart relationship with God. 

·        Relationship vs rules. Focus instead on just being with God.

·        The God who sees – Hagar in Genesis 16 El Roi (First person to name god)

·        Feel valued. Do we notice it more when feeling low?

·        Need balance in hearing God. Not just experience but Bible, prayer, worship, rest, waiting on God etc. Can get caught up in extremes otherwise.

Summary:

1. Need God’s perspective.

2. Cultivate your relationship with God.

3. Balance in hearing God.

Prophetic activation: 

Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him: 

·        “God, El Roi, You are the God who sees. What do You notice about me, God that others may not?”

·        “God, what do You see in my life that perhaps I need to be aware of?”
