You want to know the real, honest truth? How do I grow a relationship with God like yours, And how do I understand his voice? Let’s get into it, exactly as shared, no changes, just arranged for you.
One, you have to stay in God's presence. You can't just spend time with God when it's convenient for you. A relationship is built on sacrifice. If you want to have a relationship, you want to know the main thing that I did? Stay spending time with God. If having a relationship with God means as much as you say that it does to you, you got to make the time.
- Read his words. Dive into the Bible to know who God is and how He communicates.
- Spend time talking to him. Pray and fast, asking him to reveal himself to you.
- Include him in your day as if he's right there next to you, because he is. Put on worship music. Set the atmosphere and let God know, I'm taking this time and I'm dedicating it to you.
You have to know that his presence is there. His presence is always there.
You have to understand that God's language is not just like talking all the time. He's not going to talk all the time to you. Sometimes he's going to use people to give you a hug. Sometimes he's going to use the nature to give you a sign. Sometimes he's going to give you dreams. He's going to give you an idea. He speaks in all of those different ways.
The way that you know that it's God is it lines up with his characteristics, which are his fruit of his spirit, Galatians chapter 5, or it lines up with his word and his nature in the word. You'll know God based on reading the Bible more.
If I'm deaf, when I say this, you're not going to know what I mean. When I say this, you're not going to know what I mean. But if I'm speaking that language, it’s going to look like I'm not saying anything to you because you can't comprehend what I'm saying. But just because you don't understand what I'm speaking doesn't mean I'm not trying to communicate with you.
We tell God all the time he's not communicating. But we just haven't committed to learning his language. God doesn't have to communicate the way that you're comfortable for him to talk. Believe that he's speaking and asking to reveal to you the different ways he's spoken that you didn't see before.
