You have to worship Yahweh the way He says, not the way the world says.

It is so lovely uhaire to have this strong desire to hear the Lord. I would just like to tell you that God is not necessary gonna talk to you the way YOU want Him to. He can talk to you through reading the bible, through people, through reading spiritual Christian books, through meditation on a specific passage, through a sermon or a song. And the list can keep on going!! :)

What's very important is when He speaks, you listen and recognize His voice. And here's a good news for you, when God speaks, it's always very clear, like black and white. You can't question it twice. And if you do, know, it's not God talking. Right away like that!!

May God bless you and listen to your prayer :)

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

John 14:9
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Hi Uhaire!

I can relate to what you say. Remember how the big prophets in the bible, often only heard God a handfull of times through their entire lives. In many ways are we lucky in having Gods word availeble all the time. I guess God speaks more to you than you think. As your desire appears to be Gods heart. And therefore His voice. I hope youll persist your position even if your prayers will not be answered on the spot.
I believe many have lost their godly way by listening to any voice that appears god.
Again, good luck an God bless!

The best time to reach out to God is morning worship, start the day with Jesus. I start the day with headphones playing worship music, real worship music. The music helps me to connect with him.

I'm not talking about any Christian rap, punk, metal, or pop. Try Karen Davis, Jason Upton, or Paul Wilbur.


God bless!
Endtimes

The Bible is the only way that you will truly hear from God. Don't trust what people in church say. They may be right, quoting the Bible, but until you know the Bible better, just keep reading. Also pray, and write down and memorize the verses that God seems to be speaking to you with.

The Holy Spirit uses God's Word to communicate with us. Rely on the Bible and you will not go far wrong. Praying God speaks to you through his Word!

You have to listen.
Pray to Jesus as he is right there. Ask him your question.
be quiet then
wait for him to speak through your conscience.
Meditate on the question, Jesus will bring to mind the answer from the bible.

The Bible is God's word to you.
It is the sword that cuts and divides the spirit and soul the bad from the good.
You know what is right
all you have to do is pray for grace (holy spirit to empower you) to do it.

Jesus, what should I do?

Listen to your conscience
"EVERYONE knows what they SHOULD do. that is if voice of God.
Not everyone WANTS to do that
that is the voice of the devil
What you SHOULD (Jesus) do
and what you WANT(devil) to do
are always miles apart.

sometimes you dont know, so yo wait and meditate and thoughts, stories experiences go through your mind on your knees and finally it clicks
and you know what you should do to do the most loving helpful thing possible

if you have three or four options, choose the one that will benefit others the most not what is easiest

The TV and the devil has trained our children to do what we WANT
so tehy go further and further into darkness

darkness is not knowing what to do, blind, really have no clue dont know what is right, etc etc

Read the Bible search and look for what to do, do word search imgine you changing places with that person what is the nicest thing? what would Jesus do?
when you get your answer you KNOW
and it isnt what you WANT sometimes.

the more you do what you want the more you separate from God soon you cant hear your conscience any more

Like kids playing

What do you want to do? (devil)
I dont know what do you want to do (devil)
and they all follow the devil

friends like that should be banned from your children

better:
What should we do now? (Jesus)
yes what should we do now"(Jesus)


My mom said I have to do this...
ok Ill help you!
Jesus talking

children dont hear Jesus anymore
the Tv has ruined them.

And repent and turn away from sin, and you will move closer to God and he hill move closer to you.

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear

2 Timothy 3:16 ESV All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,



Say please God let me and everybody I know and all others I don’t know let us die with Jesus on the cross today, on my own I can do northing lord, only you can change me I am truly sorry each time I sin I offended you. Teach me to love, all others I do not know, let me lay down my life for others as Jesus given his life for me.
God does speak to you through his word, Matthew 5:42 (ESV) [SUP]42 [/SUP]Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you

Do THEM.
I will always pray for you daily please pray for others we all need each other’s prayers.

Sins are WHAT YOU WANT
Righteousness is what you SHOULD DO

WHAT YOU WANTS separate from God
Selfishness separates the love right out of you

Doing hard things what you SHOULD do draws you closer to God

sin is all the I WANTS of life
indulge in them and perish.

Righteousness is all the I SHOULD's of life
things you know you should do instead

example
I have three hours

Pray on knees Jesus what shold i do? See a movie? or study your bible?

Cmon
EVERYONE knows the answer
1/10 of one percent will do right.

and the sheep wil love to study they become to the point that is their favorite thing to do, cause Jesus is there!
and he is soooo sweet
like grape juice that goes down sweetly making the lips of those who sleep to speak...

Should I go to the mall?
Or should I cut elder lady Millers lawn for her?

imagine what Jesus would say:


Oh , you are such an angel for going to the mall and buing candy and magazines when you could have mowed some poor ladies lawn?

Not

C'mon, you KNOW what is right...You hear Jesus
you just done like it. Heaven would be a horrid place for you
you would get bored in two days doing good deeds...

so what is the answer
Pray like you never prayed before
ask Jesus to give you love for others and hurry, then do it.

You sleep GOOD at night.

Heaven is a place of selfless service for others for eternity
there isno TV there
there is no beer there
there is no chicken or burgers or pizza there.
You will not lead a rock band there
you will nothave people picking up your socks and cleaning your room there
face it
as you are
you wont like it there
so

get born again
ask for grace and faith
live for others
help others

your mom is going to heaven and as you stand you are not... (most likely)
old people will much more often make it, they have learned life is all about helping others. Lots of grannies there!
few kids are going...unless they are born again, I see good hearts but they have over ruling desires and they just dont have the walk yet.

Everyone can be kind
everyone can change by grace
pray and walk for others and you will love heaven
you can fly at light speed and above and you can sing and play and you can be with Jesus
very nice
all kinds of animals and exploration.
and lots of opportunities to pick flowers for others and help them with their gardens...

Do you read the Bible? God word is speaking right there. Will pray u have eyes to see and ears to hear His truth and not the flashy lies of deceiving spirits
And, God's word says:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
I hear so many Christians say we hear God thru the bible, yet they ignore this passage.

I hear God's voice speak to me. The first time God spoke to me I was 15 and then God did not speak for thirty years. Since that time, I partnered up with a person who helped me to hear the voice of God. Now I hear God speak to me 2 or 3 times a month. If you want to hear God speak to you are doing the right thing. Never let others claim otherwise. There are books on this topic and I hope you find a good one. In a nut shell, this is what I did to hear His voice.

1) The passage I posted above states "My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me" So if you want to hear His voice it is important to do His will.

2) Pray and worship Him. God states that He inhabits the praises of His people.

3) Read the bible.

4) Repent of past sins. Many Christians think if we sin we are automatically forgiven but the bible says otherwise. The bible is clear, we must repent of our sin. I won't go into those scriptures as we should all know them from Sunday school.

a) Make a list of all those who have hurt you in any way. Go as far back as your memory allows. Write the names of bullies, people who insulted you, people who offended you, etc. Then pray over that list one by one saying "I forgive (name) for (whatever). I release them from my desire to get even or to get justice. I pray for their salvation. in Jesus name." Or repent as you fell led. Make sure to ask God if there is anyone you have forgotten and list all that God shows you.

b) Go thru a list of sin types and makes more lists to pray over. Always ask God to show you the sins you have forgotten.

c) Help others in need. If a homeless person asks for food buy them some food. Is there a person in your church who has needs? Pray about helping them.

5) Be patient, be persistent and be on fire for God. God will speak to you when He sees how hard you are trying to serve Him in all that you do.

6) Ask God to remove the false beliefs you may have. Ask God to expose the things which are a barrier between you and God. And keep at it.

God does speak today to some of His own. I know others here that God does speak to. All Christians have the capacity to hear God speak to them. I hope you hear Him soon.
