Listening Prayer

Listening prayer is the practice of listening to God's voice. Here are some things that have helped me.

Thoughts of truth and love are always form Jesus. He will never condemn or hate on you.

The more truth you see or read from the bible the more you will hear.

God speaks to people in a variety of ways. Through pictures, words, feelings, and thoughts.

Everyone can hear God. It is just a matter of learning to recognize his voice. This takes time, just like learning how to hit a ball sometimes you will hit it right on and sometimes you will miss.

God uses your passion to speak to you.

God repeats himself.

Talk to God all day.

Blocks to Gods voice can be a wall in your heart. This can happen by wrongs you have done to others or wrongs done to you. Ask God. He will reveal the issue.

God does not give us guilt or condemnation. He corrects us lovingly.

Here are 3 ways t check what you heard:
- Is there any scripture contrary to what you have heard?
- Peace (is there a bunch of worrying, doubting, or anxiety?)
- check it out with some one else

God can speak through anything. He has used anything from the bible to the wind to a dog to speak to me.

Just try it! God loves to speak to us! He loves us! He wants to speak to us!
