Summary

Do you ever listen to other women sharing their stories about hearing God's voice and wonder, "Why doesn't He talk to me like that?" Maybe you feel like you are on a different wavelength, or worse, that you are doing something wrong because you don't hear a choir or see a vision. If you are asking how God talks to you, because you want to find your unique frequency in a world of spiritual noise, you are not alone! In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins advisory board member Kari Anjewierden to discuss the individual nature of revelation.

We move from a "one-size-fits-all" faith to a deeply personal connection by exploring the different learning styles of revelation. Kari shares expert advice on how to embrace the tears, explaining why sudden feelings of being overwhelmed and "weepy" are actually her unique signal that the Spirit is present. Tamara uncovers surprising insights about the Holy Ghost bringing things to our remembrance, discussing how a forgotten memory of a doctor's office waiting room solved a desperate four-year prayer for her son's reading challenges. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual comparison or simply curious about how God talks to you, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we share practical steps for adapting your prayer routine as you move through different seasons of life. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how God talks to you, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on personal revelation!

Episode Takeaways

• The Perfect Parent: Just as an earthly mother communicates differently with each of her unique children (e.g., using visual lists for a child with autism), God tailors His communication to your specific personality and learning style.
• The Gift of Tears: Kari used to worry that she was crying all the time, until she realized that sudden tears were actually her personal "signal" that God was speaking to her heart. Don't be afraid to embrace the emotions of the Spirit!
• Bringing to Remembrance: John 14:26 promises that the Holy Ghost will "bring all things to your remembrance." Tamara shares how a random memory popped into her head during a desperate prayer, leading her to the exact doctor her son needed.
• The Signal Check: If God seems quiet, He might just be changing His communication style to stretch your faith! Ask Him: "Teach me how to best hear You now, in this specific season of my life."

Reflection Questions

1. Do you currently struggle with "spiritual comparison" (wishing you heard God the same way someone else does)? How does the "Perfect Parent" analogy change your perspective?
2. What is your unique "signal" that the Spirit is present? Is it tears, a burning in your chest, a clear thought, or an overwhelming sense of peace?
3. Can you think of a time when the Holy Ghost brought a specific memory, name, or idea "to your remembrance" right when you needed it?
4. Look at your current season of life. Are you an "early morning" receiver or a "late night" receiver? Is it time to ask God for a signal check?

Summary

In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, we dive into how God communicates in our modern times, exploring how the Lord bypasses worldly noise to reach our minds and hearts. Our guest, Kari Anjewierden, shares expert advice on using the "Philippians filter," breaking down how sudden feelings of peace are actually a sophisticated form of divine communication. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to solve the painful feeling of spiritual silence or simply curious about how does God talk to us today, this episode is packed with incredibly valuable takeaways.

Host Tamara K. Anderson also uncovers surprising insights about the adversary's doubt counterattack, discussing how our immediate second-guessing often proves that an initial positive thought was actually a prompting from heaven. If you’ve ever wondered about how does God talk to us today and how it impacts your ability to navigate daily, chaotic challenges, you absolutely won’t want to miss this conversation. Plus, we share practical steps for spotting everyday miracles—making it easier than ever to apply these lessons in your own life by committing to a simple 30-day miracle hunt. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how does God talk to us today, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on recognizing personal revelation and hearing the Spirit!

Episode Takeaways

• The Philippians Filter: Based on Philippians 4:7, God often speaks to our minds and hearts through a distinct feeling of peace that transcends understanding. Peace is the signature of the Spirit.
• The Doubt Counterattack: If you receive an inspiration to do something good (like calling a friend) and immediately start talking yourself out of it because it feels "awkward" or "dumb," that doubt is the adversary. The immediate resistance is actually verification that your first thought was from God.
• Repetition and Lightbulbs: God is persistent. If you are hearing the same message repeatedly from your scripture study, a podcast, and a friend's comment, pay attention! God also uses "lightbulb moments" during everyday conversations with friends to deliver His answers.
• The 30-Day Miracle Hunt: Kari shares how adding "finding one small miracle" to her daily gratitude journal changed her life. It took a solid month of practice to train her brain, but now she sees God's fingerprints in the tiny, impossible moments of everyday life.

Reflection Questions

1. Have you ever had a sudden thought to do something kind, but immediately talked yourself out of it? How does knowing about the "Doubt Counterattack" change how you will respond next time?
2. Looking back at this past week, has there been a recurring message or theme popping up in your life? What might God be trying to tell you?
3. What does the "peace that transcends all understanding" physically and emotionally feel like in your own body?
4. Are you willing to take Kari's challenge? Try writing down one small, everyday "fingerprint of God" every day for the next 30 days.

Summary

In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, we dive into the painful reality of unanswered pleas, exploring how God uses the threads of our greatest struggles to weave a strength we didn't know we possessed. Our guest, licensed clinical social worker Wendi Christiansen, shares expert advice on trusting God's timing, breaking down how to find purpose while stuck in the waiting room. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual comparison or simply curious about why does God answer some prayers and not others, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.

Host Tamara K. Anderson also uncovers surprising insights about enduring discomfort, discussing how her own wrestle with her sons' autism diagnosis taught her to see the bigger eternal tapestry. If you’ve ever wondered about why does God answer some prayers and not others and how it impacts your faith during life's deepest trials, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Plus, we share practical steps for finding hope in the messy middle—making it easier than ever to apply these lessons in your own life, much like Joseph of Egypt did in the pit. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on why does God answer some prayers and not others, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on navigating your spiritual journey!

Episode Takeaways

• The Tapestry Principle: God sees the finished, eternal masterpiece of your life. Often, we are staring at a single painful thread—or the messy knots on the back of the rug—and assuming the pattern is ruined.
• The "Normal for You" Perspective: Tamara shares her heartbreaking but perspective-shifting realization that comparing her family's struggles to the miracles of others was stealing her joy. God wasn't going to remove her sons' autism; He was creating a more compassionate, capable mother.
• The Preparation Phase: Using the story of Joseph of Egypt, Wendi highlights that spending time in the "pit" or the "prison" doesn't mean God has abandoned you. A long delay in an answer is often a massive preparation for a future calling.
• Romans 8:28: "All things work together for good to them that love God." Sometimes, the relief and the "good" we are praying for won't be fully realized until the next life, but we can trust the Master Weaver to not drop a single thread.

Reflection Questions

1. Are you currently staring at a "knot" in your life's tapestry? How does knowing God sees the finished masterpiece change your perspective on this current trial?
2. Have you been guilty of comparing your hard trial to someone else's quick miracle? How can you surrender that comparison today?
3. Read the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-41. How does his time in the prison shift your perspective on your own "waiting room" seasons?
4. Is God keeping you in a place of discomfort right now because of the stronger, more compassionate version of you He is creating?

Summary

Have you ever felt like there is a wall between you and heaven? Maybe you feel like you need a middleman, a priest, a more spiritual spouse, or even a perfectly clean record just to get a word in with God. Perhaps you're asking, how to talk to God directly, because you are craving intimacy with Him but feel disqualified by your own unworthiness. Take heart, my friend! In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins licensed clinical social worker Wendi Christensen to explain how you already have a VIP pass to talk to God.

We move from simple theology to deep intimacy by exploring the historical and spiritual significance of the "Rent Veil." Tamara uncovers surprising insights from Matthew 27, discussing how Christ's death literally removed the partition to the Holy of Holies, giving you direct access to the throne of grace. Wendi shares expert advice on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, breaking down why God prefers a raw, humble heart over a polished religious resume. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of feeling like an outsider in your own faith or simply curious about how to talk to God directly, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we share practical steps for praying specifically and recognizing God's answers when they look different than you expected. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how to talk to God directly, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on personal revelation!

Episode Takeaways

• The Rent Veil: When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). Anciently, this veil was the barrier to the presence of God. Because of Christ, that barrier is gone. You do not need a middleman; you have direct access to God.
• Resume vs. Heart: Wendi breaks down Luke 18 (The Pharisee and the Tax Collector). The Pharisee brought a religious resume to prove his worth, but the tax collector brought a humble, broken heart. God justified the man with the humble heart. God doesn't want your performance; He wants your authenticity.
• The Specific Mother's Prayer: It is okay to pray for highly specific things! Wendi shares a story of praying that her struggling son would just get one hit during his baseball game. He got a hit (even though he was ultimately tagged out), proving that God hears and answers the specific aching of a mother's heart.
• Ask Him to Show His Work: If you feel like God isn't answering your prayers, it might just be because He isn't answering them the way you think He should. Pray: "Lord, help me to recognize when You are answering me. Give me the eyes to see how You are showing up."

Step 2 of the roadmap will teach you exactly how to ask those specific questions that get straight to the heart of heaven! 👉 Download the Bundle Here: https://www.womenwarriorsoflight.com/pl/2148756546

Reflection Questions

1. Do you ever feel like you need to "dress up" your prayers or present a perfect religious resume to God before He will listen to you?
2. Read Hebrews 4:16. How does knowing the veil to the Holy of Holies was torn in half change your confidence in approaching the "throne of grace"?
3. Think about Wendi's baseball story. What is a highly specific, small "mother's prayer" you can take to God today?
4. How often do you miss God's answers because they don't look exactly like you expected? Are you willing to ask Him to "give you eyes to see" His work today?

Summary

In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, we dive into the painful reality of spiritual silence, exploring how the ebb and flow of our spiritual lives is completely normal. Our guest, Tiffany Fletcher, shares expert advice on navigating heavenly ghosting, breaking down how to clear the adversary's mental chatter so you can hear heaven's whisper. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome feelings of spiritual isolation or simply curious about why doesn't God speak to me, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.

Host Tamara K. Anderson also uncovers surprising insights about the four main reasons for a blocked connection, discussing how her own struggle to accept a difficult answer regarding a life-changing diagnosis taught her the hard lesson of submission.

If you’ve ever wondered about why doesn't God speak to me and how it impacts your ability to trust His timing, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Plus, we share practical steps for troubleshooting your own heart and casting out darkness—making it easier than ever to apply these lessons in your own life and realign with the Spirit. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on why doesn't God speak to me, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on navigating your faith journey!

Episode Takeaways

• The Spiritual Ebb and Flow: Experiencing periods of silence is a normal rhythm of a faithful life, not a rejection from heaven. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever—He hasn't left you.
• The 4 Reasons for Silence: We break down the four common blocks: 1) The Chatter (digital and mental noise from the adversary), 2) An Unaccepted Answer (refusing to accept a "no" God has already given), 3) Not Yet (waiting in limbo while God moves the puzzle pieces), and 4) The Conduct Check (unresolved anger, lack of forgiveness, or needing repentance).
• The Danger of the "Unaccepted Answer": Sometimes God is quiet because He is waiting for us to submit to the last thing He told us before giving us our next step.
• The Casting Out Strategy: When the chatter in your mind is too loud, you have the power to cast out the adversary's influence. Visualize the Savior standing next to you to immediately quiet the noise and focus your heart.

Reflection Questions

1. When you experience "heavenly ghosting," does your brain try to tell you that God has changed or abandoned you? Read Hebrews 13:8 to anchor yourself in truth today.
2. Review the 4 Reasons for Silence. Which one is currently creating a block in your life right now?
3. Is there an "unaccepted answer" (a hard "no") from God that you are refusing to submit to?
4. Try Tiffany's visualization strategy during your next prayer: Close your eyes and imagine the Savior standing directly in front of you. Notice how it changes the focus of your prayer.

Summary

Have you ever woken up with a vivid image in your mind—something so beautiful or so specific that you wondered, "Was that God, or was that just a random dream?" Perhaps you're asking, can God speak to me through dreams? because you want to know if He is reaching out to you in your sleep, but you're afraid of being misled by your own chaotic brain. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins advisory board member Tiffany Fletcher to dive into the biblical and personal reality of dreams as a gift of the Spirit.

We move from confusing dreams to clear revelation by understanding the signature of a sacred message. Tiffany shares her life-changing "Teacup Dream," a beautiful lesson on how God uses the Kintsugi method to mend and use our broken pieces to carry life-saving water. Tamara also uncovers surprising insights about repetitive dreams, discussing how God used a heartbreaking dream about her son's autism to teach her a profound truth about the eternal nature of relationships. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual confusion or simply curious about can God speak to me through dreams, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we share a practical test for discernment to help you tell the difference between a dream from God and an "icky" dream from the adversary. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on personal revelation!

Episode Takeaways

• The Kintsugi Teacup: Tiffany shares a dream where Jesus asked her to drop a beautiful teacup. When it shattered, He mended it with gold (like Japanese Kintsugi) and told her: "Even a broken vessel can carry life-saving water." Your brokenness does not disqualify you from serving God.
• The Eternal Promise: Tamara shares a repetitive dream she had shortly after her son was diagnosed with autism. In the dream, he could speak to her perfectly. Though waking up to reality caused her deep grief at first, she later realized God was giving her a glimpse of their healed, eternal relationship.
• The Discernment Test: The adversary can try to hijack your spiritual gifts. How do you know if a dream is from God? If you wake up feeling "icky," dark, or chaotic, it is likely not from God. If the dream leaves you feeling empowered, uplifted, or prompted to do good, it is from the Spirit.
• The Surrender Principle: God often uses the quiet of the night to speak to busy women because it is the only time our minds are still enough to listen! However, you cannot "force" a spiritual dream. They usually come when we are in a place of complete surrender.

Reflection Questions

1. Have you ever had a dream that felt too vivid or specific to just be a random thought? Did it leave you feeling empowered or chaotic?
2. Think about Tiffany's "Teacup Dream." In what ways do you feel "broken" right now, and how might God be using those broken, glued-together pieces to help someone else?
3. Tamara had to ask God for the interpretation of a dream that initially caused her grief. Is there something in your life you need to ask God to clarify or reinterpret for you?
4. If dreams aren't your specific "Gift of the Spirit," what is your primary spiritual gift? How does God usually speak to you?

Summary

Have you ever been completely overwhelmed—maybe stuck in a crowded meeting, a long line at the airport, or dealing with a household crisis—and wondered, "Can I talk to God in my head?" You might fear that God only wants to hear from you when you can drop to your knees and speak the words aloud. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins advisory board member Kari Anjewierden to answer the comforting question: Can you talk to God in your head?

We move from scheduled prayer to a continual walk with the Savior by understanding that your quiet thoughts are actually a sacred invitation for God to step in. Kari shares a miraculous story of navigating a nearly impossible standby flight at Christmas, proving that a silent petition in a crowded airport can move mountains. Tamara uncovers surprising insights about the "Diaper Wipe Prayer," discussing how a panicked, unspoken plea for help during a massive baby blowout proved that God cares about the tiny, messy details of your life. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual isolation or simply curious about can you talk to God in your head, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we explore the story of the Road to Emmaus, showing how Jesus is willing to walk and talk with us in our minds until we truly recognize Him. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on can you talk to God in your head, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on everyday revelation!

Episode Takeaways

• The Command to Pray Always: 1 Thessalonians commands us to "pray continually." This doesn't mean you have to constantly recite a formal "Dear Heavenly Father" prayer; it means keeping the line of silent, internal communication open to Him all day long.
• The Airport Miracle: Kari shares how she navigated an impossible holiday travel situation using a string of silent prayers. She emphasizes the importance of remembering to say a silent "Thank you" after God helps you clear each hurdle.
• The Diaper Wipe Prayer: Tamara had a silent, panicked prayer on her living room floor while trying to contain a massive baby blowout without any wipes. God answered her silent thought immediately. While wet wipes aren't eternally significant, God cares about them because He cares about you.
• Abiding on the Road to Emmaus: Just as Jesus walked and talked with the disciples on the Road to Emmaus, He is willing to walk with you through your daily chores and commutes. Having a conversation with God in your head is simply inviting Him to "abide" with you.

Reflection Questions

1. Do you ever feel guilty for not praying "formally" on your knees enough? How does the command to "pray always" give you permission to talk to God in your head?
2. Have you ever faced an "impossible" hurdle (like Kari's airport story) where you had to rely entirely on silent, running prayers to get through the day?
3. What is a "diaper wipe" situation in your life right now? Are you willing to ask God for help with something that feels too small or silly to pray about?
4. Read the story of the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24). How can you invite Jesus to "abide" with you during your daily commute or chores today?

Summary

Have you ever looked at your mistakes or your messy life and wondered, "Am I even worthy enough for God to speak to me?" You might feel too flawed, too broken, or too distracted for the God of the universe to care about your daily struggles. This is a tender pain point for so many women. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins advisory board member Kari Anjewierden to ask the important question: Can God talk to you?

We move from the fear of "Am I enough?" to the peace of "He is here" by exploring the beautiful truth that God is an active participant in the lives of His daughters. Kari shares how, as a busy mom of six, she doesn't need a quiet mountaintop to hear God—He is perfectly happy talking to her while she's driving or doing the dishes. We also discuss Kari's "Gratitude Hack," exploring how naming three things you are grateful for is the absolute quickest way to invite the Spirit into your space. Tamara uncovers surprising insights about the "Service Hack," discussing how asking God "Who can I serve today?" acts like a spiritual fast-pass to receiving an answer. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual unworthiness or simply curious about can God talk to you, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. We also discuss the story of the woman with the issue of blood, proving that Jesus will stop in the middle of a chaotic crowd just to find you. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on can God talk to you, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on personal revelation!

Episode Takeaways

• The Worthless Lie: In Romans 8, Paul asks if trials, tribulations, or mistakes can separate us from the love of God. The answer is no. Every person in the Bible was broken (except Jesus), and God still spoke to them. Your imperfections do not disqualify you from hearing His voice.
• The Carpool Sanctuary: You don't need to be on a beach or in a grove of trees to hear God. Kari shares how God meets her right where she is—usually folding laundry or driving her six kids around. God is perfectly willing to speak to you in the messy middle of your day.
• The Service Hack: If you are struggling to hear God, ask Him this specific prayer: "Who can I serve today?" God answers this prayer incredibly fast, often popping a specific name or face into your mind immediately.
• The Gratitude Hack: Kari shares that the quickest way to invite God's Spirit into your current space is to practice gratitude. By pausing to name three things you are grateful for, and having a notebook ready to record your thoughts, you signal to God that you are purposely looking for His hand and ready to listen.
• The Crowded Room: The woman with the issue of blood didn't have a formal appointment with Jesus. She reached out in the middle of a chaotic, noisy crowd. Just as Jesus stopped and found her in that crowd, He is pressing through the noise of your life to find you today.

2. Where is your "Carpool Sanctuary"? Where do you usually find yourself when God whispers to your heart during the day?
3. Try Kari's "Gratitude Hack" today: What are 3 specific things you are grateful for right now? Notice how your spiritual receptiveness changes after you list them.
4. How does the story of the woman with the issue of blood change how you view God's willingness to connect with you when your life feels chaotic?

Summary

Have you ever read the stories of the Old Testament—like the parting of the Red Sea or Moses and the burning bush—and then looked at your own quiet, modern life and wondered, "Why did God stop talking to people?" It's easy to feel like the age of miracles is over and that the heavens have been closed for centuries. But don't give up hope! In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins licensed clinical social worker Wendi Christensen to answer the question: Why did God stop talking to people?

We move from theology to testimony by discovering that God hasn't stopped broadcasting; we simply might have lost our antenna in the noise of a digital world. Wendi shares expert advice on the modern epidemic of loneliness, breaking down how our phones are acting like signal jammers for our souls. Tamara uncovers surprising insights from Hebrews 1, reminding us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to solve the pain of spiritual isolation or simply curious about why did God stop talking to people, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we share practical steps for finding God in the "messy connection" of your daily life—like Wendi's frantic, beautiful prayer while chasing a school bus. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on why did God stop talking to people, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on hearing the Holy Spirit!

Episode Takeaways

1. The Unchanging Transmitter: Hebrews 1 reminds us that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If He spoke anciently, He can speak today. The problem isn't the Transmitter (God); the problem is the receiver (us).
2. The Digital Signal Jammer: The modern epidemic of loneliness is deeply tied to our technology. God is still broadcasting, but the constant buzzing of our phones and to-do lists acts as a signal jammer, breaking off our spiritual antennas.
3. The Power of the Pause: You don't need a week-long silent retreat to hear God. George Washington Carver said nature is an "unlimited broadcasting station." Sometimes, all it takes to shift your frequency is putting your phone down, stepping outside, and taking one intentional deep breath.
4. The Messy Connection: Prayer doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. Wendi shares a story of praying with her teenage boys while literally chasing the school bus. God meets you in the messy, inconvenient moments of your day.

2. Look at your daily routine. What technology is acting as a "signal jammer" between you and God right now?
3. Have you ever felt the presence of God simply by stepping into nature or taking a deep breath? How can you create a 60-second "pause" today?
4. Do you wait for the "perfect" time to pray, or are you willing to invite God into the messy, frantic moments (like chasing a bus or driving to work)?

Summary

Have you ever felt spiritually broken? Like maybe you've made too many mistakes or walked too far away to ever hear God's voice again? Perhaps you are asking, "Why can't I hear God speak to me?" because you feel disqualified, alone, and terrified that God has given up on you. Ladies, if you have ever felt that way, you are in the right place. In this episode of the Arise, Women of God podcast, host Tamara K. Anderson joins licensed clinical social worker Wendi Christensen to dive into the reality of spiritual silence.

We move from feeling abandoned to finding alignment by understanding the "Distance Dilemma." Tamara shares a raw, personal story about grieving her sons' autism diagnosis, explaining how she spent years plugging her ears to God like a stubborn teenager because she was too angry to accept His answer. Wendi breaks down the "Management Complaint," explaining why it is completely natural to take our anger out on the Man in charge—and why we might actually need to forgive God in order to hear Him again. Whether you're a Christian woman looking to overcome the pain of spiritual isolation or simply curious about why can't I hear God speak to me, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, we share practical steps for casting out darkness and letting the Light back in. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on why can't I hear God speak to me, and don’t forget to subscribe for more expert insights on navigating the quiet seasons of faith!

Episode Takeaways

1. The Distance Dilemma: If you can't hear God, it is not because He has moved. It is usually because we have unintentionally created distance through our actions, our distractions, or our anger.
2. The Teenager Tactic: Tamara shares how she plugged her ears to God's voice for years regarding her sons' autism. She wanted a miraculous healing, and she refused to listen to any answer from God that didn't match her demands. Sometimes we can't hear God because we are refusing to accept His will.
3. The Management Complaint: When our food is wrong at a restaurant, we complain to the manager. When life is unfair, we complain to God because He is in charge of the universe! It is okay to be frustrated, but sometimes we have to consciously "forgive God" for our unmet expectations so we can lower our walls and hear Him again.
4. Spiritual Warfare: Sometimes the silence isn't just your emotions; it is active spiritual opposition. The adversary wants you to feel isolated and abandoned. You have the power to cast out that darkness in the name of Jesus Christ and invite angels of light to fill the void.
