How's it going guys my name is Dave, and you know, one of the things people always ask me
on Instagram is: How do I personally hear from God? So today I'm gonna give you my
three tips on how you can hear God's voice ... and I may even teach you a Hebrew
word just to spice up the whole hearing from God thing! I am so PUMPED about
today's video, so let's crank up the bumper!

practical step in your spiritual journey. So why don't you hit the subscribe
button right here so that you never miss an episode. So you want to hear from God, right?
Well let's throw up two minutes and see if we can help you out.
Did I say throw up? It's not like I'm gonna throw up two minutes but ... ah I'll stick with it.
What does it even mean to hear God's voice? I mean throughout the
Bible you read that God "Thundered His majestic voice." Or that the Lord
"Thundered from heaven." But on the other hand the Bible also says that God speaks
in a small whisper. So is it thundering or is it whispering? I mean if
God's got so many different ways of speaking to us, how we even supposed to
know it's God when he says something? And if I'm honest, whenever I really need to
hear God's voice, normally the only thing I hear is cricket's
Sometimes, if you want to hear something better, you have to put yourself in a
place where you can hear it more clearly. And it's the same with God as well,
so here are three things that you can do to help you hear from God today.
The first is WITHDRAW. You have to get away from all the noise in your life. See, God still
speaks to us but, we've built all of these things like careers and schedules
and programs and apps and devices that distract us from hearing the message
that God's trying to send to us. Sorry. Hello? You got the wrong number.
Yeah. Okay.
With all these distractions, it's so easy for us to waste any spare
moments we have, you know, switching on the TV or getting online or seeing how
many likes we have on a post. You know we don't kill time ... time kills us.
So, if you want to hear from God then you have to withdraw
The second thing is to WAIT.
You know, Psalm 62 says; "My soul waits in silence," but we don't like to be patient,
we didn't like to wait for anything do we? Author Dallas Willard says that we
often don't hear God's voice because we "do not in general want to hear it."
WOW! That's worth repeating.
We often don't hear God's voice because we "do not in
general want to hear it." Perhaps it's time we just stopped and waited for a
minute so that we could focus on listening for God.
And the third thing is to READ the Word of God.
As Wick Rarren ... Wick Rarren? Gosh! As Rick Warren says;
"Sometimes you have to stop listening for a voice and start looking for a verse"
in order to hear from God. But we have to do more than just read it, we also have to
do what it says. In fact, the Hebrew word for "hear" is "shema," which means to listen
but it also means to obey. It's like when I tell my daughter's to clean their rooms.
If they haven't done it when I get home from work,
I will ask them; "Did you girls hear what I said?" Now, I'm asking them if
they listened, but I'm also asking if they obeyed. So if you want to hear from God,
you have to read His word but do it as well put it into practice.
So there are my three tips on how you can hear from God: Withdraw. Wait. And read.
