Summary:

God created everything for one simple reason; to have a people that He can love, commune and talk with, and have a close relationship with. There has never been a more important time than now to develop a relationship with the Father and learn His voice.

Having a drive to be close to Him and making it a priority in our lives makes God happier than any of us can understand at this point.

Show Notes:

• It’s so important to make it a priority if we want to hear God. The secret is getting in the mode of listening for Him to speak to you.

• The first thing I always tell people on the subject of hearing God is to learn to relate to God as Father, which sets everything else in proper perspective.

• The love that the Father has for us and the relationship that He wants to have with us is probably the very most important thing in life.

• God loves it when you take the time to be with Him and come without an agenda. That allows the Lord to tell you what your agenda should really be. That’s hard for some people, because they have all these things that they really feel like they need to hear the Lord on.

• There’s coming a time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken. That’s why now it more important than ever to get a close relationship with the Father, and learn to hear His voice and what He wants to speak to you in this season that we are in spiritually.

Quotes:

• “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God”. So that just says that the sustenance for our life really comes from the things that God says.

• I’ve been on a mission to help people know that they can hear God.

• I think you can make trying to hear God too hard. It’s really pretty simple. One of the most important things is to stay in the mode.

• I’m a huge proponent of taking time where it’s just you and Him, but we can also hear God on the run, in our daily lives.

• I told the Lord recently while waiting on Him that He always shows up. In a still small voice He told me, “I never show up. I’m always here. You’re the one who shows up”. There’s never a time that God doesn’t have time for you.

• Anytime you want to get together and spend time with the Lord, He’s always game for it. There’s never a bad time for it. It’s always a good time.
