Job 23:12- ' I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread'



You can hear God everywhere. Work, home, doing errands, walking along the beach. God desires for you to have a quiet place so the two of you can talk. How do we begin to learn to hear God's voice?".
First, we need a seeking heart. Sometimes he looks for us and sometimes he plays hide and seek and we need to find him. God smiles when he knows we are trying to seek him.
Second, we need a bible based heart. God tries to talk to us through his Word. If we want to really know God, we need to study his Word.
Third, we need a listening heart. Hearing God's voice requires us to listen. We need a quiet heart and to be still. As we spend more time with God, we will begin to seek his presence. We need to pray with our eyes and ears open.
Fourth, we need a patient heart. We need to follow God's schedule not ours.
Lastely, we need an obedient heart. We need to obey God or talking to him means nothing. God expects us to instantly obey him. If we are obedient, there are rewards.
