Good communication has two parts to it; speaking and listening. For any relationship to thrive there has to be good communication. The same is true for our relationship with God.

Throughout the pages of scripture we see God communicating with His people. From Moses to Elijah, David to Nehemiah, Jesus and his disciples; God spoke with and to his people to give them instruction about His purposes in their lives.

Since God does not change and is the same “yesterday, today, and forever”...

And, He has demonstrated, before and through Jesus, that He is our very own personal God who cares about the details of our lives...

Then, that means He still wants to speak to us.

When it comes to communication with God, most of us are only good at the speaking part. But what about listening?

The practice of listening to God is simply learning to identify and discern His voice through the various ways He speaks to us. It’s straightforward and simple. But, this simple practice is not easy. It requires that we build in space in our lives to eliminate the noise. And, we believe that in the quiet spaces we’ll begin to hear God’s promptings through His written word and the still small voice within.

Learning to listen to God will change your life. When you can hear His voice you can receive His encouragement, instruction, and correction. Ultimately, you can fully receive the love of your Heavenly Father.
