In concluding our series Hearing God Speak, Pastor Luke Brugger gives points about hearing from God. When we ask God about things, we must be people who are willing to desire what God wants beyond what we want for our lives. It is about remaining obedient. We must be intentional about creating time to focus only on God and listen for His voice, without distractions. We know that when we cry out to God, we can be confident that He will answer us. We must be cautious of being discouraged due to quietness and remain in faith for what God has to say.

How do we hear the still small voice of God? Why does God speak in a small voice not a loud voice? Pastor Luke brings clarity to this subject in this sermon!

In this week's message, Pastor Jon Gladysz continues in our series Hearing God Speak. It is crucial for believers to spend time waiting to hear from God because it brings faith. We need to hear because we need faith. When we look back through the lives of Abraham and Noah, we see that their faith was a byproduct of hearing from God. We too need to have specific, personal words from God.

The Bible instructs us to incline our ears to hear from God. Another way we can incline our ears is by waiting on the Lord. When we wait on the Lord, we keep our eyes solely fixed on God with expectation. In these places and moments of waiting, is where we hear from God.

Peace is one of the crucial ways through which God speaks to His people. We must be serious about leaning in to the Spirit of God rather than our understanding for decisions. When we rely on God's Spirit, we can be sure that there will be peace for whatever decision comes our way.

God wants to lead and direct His people in all of the decisions that they face. However, we play a massive role in the kind of direction we receive. One of the ways we can train ourselves to hear direction from God is through living pure. When we live lives that are pleasing and honoring to God, we increase our visibility and clarity to know the right answer to whatever it is that we face.

The Bible is the biggest way we can learn to hear the voice of God. If we desire to hear from God, we must continually fill ourselves with the word God. The Bible acts as an instruction book for how a Christian needs to live in order to go about living the best and most powerful life.

The Bible is filled with stories of God speaking and answering people. It should be very hard to read the Bible and conclude that God doesn't speak to people with very specific details and situations. So we as Christians must be sure to learn how to identify God's voice. Because it will bring direction and clarity to our lives.

Jesus is the greatest hero that we could ever need or desire. He is the hero with the ability and power to heal you, restore you, and rescue you. There is no obstacle or hindrance worth letting pull you away from Jesus. Any emotion, opinion, or feeling that goes against Jesus must be dealt with. Because Jesus is of far greater worth than those things.

God has designed it so that holiness brings many benefits to the believer. Living out a holy lifestyle brings blessing to all areas of life and has eternal results. Since sin is the opposite of this, it takes you in the opposite direction, into death. Sin will pose a threat to anything God wants to do in a believer’s life.
