When You

  Hear God!  
 

You know how it is when you have a decision to make and you need to hear from God.  Or perhaps you’re hurting and you don’t understand what’s going on.  You’ve prayed about something but there doesn’t seem to be any word from God on it.  So you’re at a loss.  In this teaching, He will show you how to hear Him in the challenging or unknown times of life.  His words can deliver you and inspire you with great hope until you receive your answer.
I.    Feel the Beating of His Heart.
II.   Take Plan A.
III.  Don’t Let the Devil Snatch the Seed. 
IV.  Listen for His Good Words Over You. 
V.   Take His Guidance.     

    God Is
    Saying,
"Come here!"

    You know how frustrating it is not to be able to hear what someone is saying.  But it’s much more frustrating when you can’t hear spiritually what God is saying to you.  You have prayed about something, but there isn’t any word from Him on it.  You’re straining to hear, but there’s nothing!

    The noise of the circumstances gets so loud that it seems to be drowning out the voice of the Father.  Yet, those are the times when you need to hear Him the most.  When the noise is the greatest.

    When you are challenged with a hardship or difficulty or when you’re facing the unknown in your future, and you can’t hear the voice of God for direction and help, know this: you can still feel the beating of His heart.  When you can’t hear His voice, you can feel His heart.

    His heart is beating for you, and you are in it.  He thinks of you and has a love for you that’s unequaled.  So if you’re having difficulty hearing His voice, feel the beating of His heart for you.  Because you see, once you know God’s heart toward you, then you’re able to hear His voice.

    A woman tells how she discovered how to do this as a child.  The picture of what she did is a perfect description of what we can do in a spiritual way.  This happened when she was just six years old.  World War II was going on around her home in Great Britain.  She tells how bombs were raining down on the area, so they drove hundreds of miles away from there to be safe.

    The night they arrived at the new place, there happened to be a storm.  It was raining and thundering.  As a kid she hated storms and on top of that, she was sitting in a strange place, feeling scared and insecure.  Her father was sitting near her in a big chair reading his paper.  But all of a sudden, he put down the paper and he smiled at his daughter.  Then he said to her, “Come here.”

    So, she crawled down off the couch and went over to his chair and got up in his arms.  She remembers how safe she felt.  Then she put her head against his shoulder and that’s when she felt the beating of his heart.  Right away she was at rest and had peace.

    That experience stuck with her so much that when she became an adult she remembered it and began to do that in a spiritual way.

    When the storms of life would come and it seemed a war was being fought around her, she knew how to get up in the arms of God, lay her head on His shoulder, and feel the beating of His heart for her.  That made her strong and gave her peace.

    Once when she was in a hospital room, she was waiting for the results of some health tests.  The more she waited, the more she felt fear coming up within her.  In that moment she felt the Father begin to beckon to her spirit just as her dad used to and say, “Come here.”

    She went to God by meditating on Him and praying and thinking about Him.  As she did, she made it past that scary time and came out with results that were good.  Now she does that for every trial she encounters.

    There comes a time when you need to get up in the arms of God.  Sit in a place where you can feel His heartbeat and know that it’s beating for you.  His compassion and affection for you will make you to know you’re safe.  Events are going to turn out okay.  He is there for you.

    Get in His presence and if you can’t seem to hear what He is speaking to you, just feel His heart towards you.  Remember, once you know God’s heart toward you, then you’re able to hear His voice.  It will give you the sense of peace and direction that you need.  It will keep the storm from causing fear.  All you need to feel is the heartbeat.

    Then God will provide everything you need to come out of the difficult time and to accomplish His will.  He’ll give you strength and courage from His Word so you can do what you need to do.  You have a knowing.  Confidence.  That’s because you have the assurance that you’re in the lap of the Father and He will show you what to do.

    You don’t have to go into this situation alone.  He is there to help and direct you.  The beating of His heart will become louder than the noise of the circumstances.  So when the noise gets loud, feel God’s presence and know that He’s speaking to your spirit.  God is beckoning to you now and saying, “Come here.”

    Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.  (Ref. Psalm 139:10.)

Here is a powerful prayer to say out loud:

Father, right now I’m climbing up into Your arms.  I feel Your heart beating for me.  It speaks of love and peace and good things waiting for me.  No more can I hear the noise of the circumstances but I hear Your heart.  So I know You are working for me and guiding and directing my life.  In the name of Jesus.  Amen.
