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.
