Why we don't Hear His Voice

When we do not hear from God, it is frequently because sin has dulled our ability to hear His voice and blinded our eyes to receive His Truth. We don’t hear from God when we allow anxiety, the cares (or distractions) of life, busyness and difficulties to drown out His voice. This is why we are to be anxious for nothing and to cast all of our cares upon Him.

It will be difficult for us to hear the Lord when we are distracted by the people and circumstances of our lives that hinder us in our walk of faith and war against the Spirit of the Living God, who indwells us. We need to hear the Lord’s voice in this last hour in which spiritual warfare has intensified. We must resolutely and intently listen for and expect to hear His voice after a season of seeking Him.

Often, we cannot hear Him because we do not want to hear Him. We do not want to hear Him because He is not saying what we want to hear and/or we don’t want to take time to listen to His voice and learn from Him.

We can no longer afford to be lukewarm in our faith, or bound by the religious traditions of men. We must be delivered from every person, place or thing that hinders our fellowship with the True and Living God. Our hearts cry must be for more of the presence of the Lord. Our desire must be aligned with His desire to transform our minds and to conform us into the very image of Christ, by the Spirit of the Living God.

Hearing His Voice

The Father speaks to every individual in ways that are unique to the person. The more that we surrender to the Father’s will, the more He can use us. The more of our lives that we’re willing to surrender to God the more of His life will be manifested through us. When we let go of whatever keeps us from drawing closer to Him, He takes control and claims new territory, within our hearts, for His Kingdom (Himself). Surrender is never simply for the one who surrenders, but for others who need the light of Christ and the revelation of His love for them. Surrender leads us to our God-ordained purpose and divine destiny.

The more time that we spend with God, the more we will recognize His voice. The more obedient we are to what He tells us to do, through His Word and His Spirit, the more He will trust us. The more trustworthy we are the more revelatory understanding God will grant us to know what He is doing, and is about to do on this earth and in our lives.
