- Why Can’t I Hear God Speak?
Hebrews 1:1–2 NASB95 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.We Might Have Problems Hearing God Speak Because We Might Be:I. UNAWARE of the METHODS God Uses To Speak To Us!A. WORDS that are SPOKEN to us!Genesis 1:3 NASB95 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.Genesis 12:1 NASB95 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you;B. ANGELS that are SENT to us!Genesis 16:7 NASB95 Now the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.Genesis 28:12 NASB95 He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.C. CIRCUMSTANCES that are FACED by us!Romans 8:28 NASB95 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.D.

Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first in which I found the following record:Indeed God Speaks: But Why Can’t I Hear Him?II. UNFAMILIAR with the MISTAKES we make when He speaks to us!A. MEDIOCRITY in our LIFESTYLE!1 Corinthians 10:31 NASB95 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.B. FAMILIARITY with our MESSENGERS!Mark 6:2–5 NASB95 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him.
