How to Hear God - Obstacles to Hearing God's Voice

What are the obstacles that are stopping you from easily hearing God?

If you want to hear God's voice more clearly, identify the obstacles that are getting in the way of hearing God and remove them. Read on to discover how...

When life gets busy spending time with God is one of the first things to get squeezed out. When you're pressed for time it's easy to forget to take a few moments to reflect and deliberately listen for God's still small voice. It's hard to hear God when you are too busy to stop, or stressed, or angry, or unwilling to forgive. And it's hard to hear God when you have already heard Him but taken little notice of what He has already said to you.

Hearing God's Voice Is A Choice

You can easily create obstacles to hearing God's voice. God will not make you switch of your TV or turn off your computer or ignore your phone or deliberately take a break from things that swallow up your time because you find them so interesting.

God wants you to spend time with Him and He is patiently waiting for you to stop and listen but it is up to you whether or not you stop for long enough to hear what He is saying to you.

What To Do If You Want To Hear God's Voice

If you really want to hear God speak to you I recommend you begin by

=> Expecting God to speak to you

=> Scheduling time to focus exclusively on hearing what God has to say to you

If you continue to try to squeeze time with God in around your busy life you will continue to find it hard to hear His voice.

Do You Really Want To Hear God?

Sometimes you might unconsciously keep yourself busy so that you don't have much opportunity to hear what God is saying. You may not want to hear what God has to say because you don't think you will like what he is likely to say to you about a situation in your life. But life will work much better when you put yourself in a position to hear God. He loves you and He want the best for you and He knows the best way forward.

Are You Afraid That What You Hear May Not Really Be From God?

God's ability to communicate with you is much bigger than your ability to mistake what He is saying to you. God sees your heart and He knows your motives. If you genuinely mistake what He is saying to you He is more than capable of letting you know that you made a mistake and steering you in the right direction.

Ask God to teach you how to recognize when He is speaking. He will show you how to recognize His voice if you ask Him..
