  Want to Hear from God?
​Talk to God and He will speak to you.
The Bible tells us to draw nigh to God and he will draw near to us. In James 4: 7-9
 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. James 4: 7-9
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [a]have a contrite spirit. Psalms 34:18
13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
 .Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Psalms 46: 10-11 KJV
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:   For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7‭-‬8 KJV
 
What we feed on the majority of the time is what will have the most impact and effect on us. Out of the issues the heart the mouth speaketh. Luke 6 :45 
 
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good, and an evil man out of the evil [a]treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45
 Our time in the Word is very important, but we have to be careful what we put in our minds the rest of our time because it’s the other stuff that will have more effect on us.
 God wants to speak to us, but he can’t if we are listing to other stuff. When we are dwelling on the things of the world we can’t hear Him. We just can't or we won't, because we listening to other voices and not taking heed to what His Word has told us. What is true about Him and what is true about us. We end up believing the lies of satan. If we allow that than to be louder in our lives than the truth that we know.
 We got to get rid of all the other voices so we can hear His voice. The things we hear between morning and night need to be life-giving, Christian music, podcats, etc…. The more we seek God and the things of God the more we are filled by Him, and in tune with Him. Matthew 5:6, Mathew 7:7-8
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5:6 KJv
Are we hungry and thirsty after God and righteousness?
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:   For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7‭-‬8 KJV
   As I've often told my husband we can have as close a relationship with God as we want. We can either keep Him at arm's length or in His arms. It's really up to us and how much we are willing to surrender and invest in the relationship. Do we just want to have God when we get in a difficult time or do we want an ongoing communication with Him. Do we want Him to be the Lord of our lives? Do we want Him to fill every part of our lives and our every day.
 The closer relationship the more spiritual insights God reveals to us and more He convicts us on things.
 Seek God with all your heart. He is near to those of a contrite heart. 
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Psalms 46:10 -11

  It’s easy to feel at times that if we just had the right connections we could do certain things or go certain places that other people are able to do because of their connections or status, and even though that is mostly correct in the earthly realm of things. What we got to realize that if we are God’s child then we do have the connections we need. We are connected to the one who has all the connections. If we have God then we have a friend in a high place.

 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.   He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.   All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John 16:13‭-‬15 KJV

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.  My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?  My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?  When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Psalms 42:1‭-‬5 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matthew 28:20 KJV
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah 33:3 KJV
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
Isaiah 26:3‭-‬4
