039 – God is talking. Why don't we hear?

The Bible is full of people hearing the voice of God. And not just the prophets. Regular, everyday people like you and me heard God's voice. Even a pagan king, Nebuchadnezzar, heard God's voice at one point.

Why don't we hear God's voice?

Sometimes we don't want to hear what He/She says. Sometimes we are distracted with our worries and fears or the materialism of the world. It's hard to hear someone call your name if you are listening to really loud music in your earbuds. Just so, it's hard to hear God's voice when we are preoccupied with other things.

But some people still believe we can't hear God's voice. I had a Sunday School teacher in my old church say that we have the Bible and that is enough. So God doesn't still talk to us today.  Not true? Just because this guy never heard God talk to him, doesn't mean God isn't talking.

When God talked to my Grandmother

In this episode I share some personal stories about my grandmother, Mimi, who heard God's voice on more than one occasion. And I share a couple of times when God spoke directly to me as well.

You can hear the voice of God

It may not be some big loud voice from heaven. Sometimes God talks through the gentle breeze in the grass or a gurgling brook. Some people might call in intuition. My mother-in-law used to say, "A little birdie told me..."

I also share some things you can do to help you hear God's voice, so listen to the end.

As always, there are lots of quotes from the Bible. After all this is a podcast about the Bible. Check out the shownotes to study them more closely: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/039.

Here's the blog post I mentioned which refers to some of the experiences in the episode: Does God Talk to You Too?

I hope you are safe and well.

Blessings to you and yours,
James
