Have you ever had one of those one-sided conversations where one person talks for the entire time and the other person cannot say a word? To make it worse is when they speak until they are finished and then finish by saying something like, “I gotta go, talk to you later”. You may feel like you had so much to add to the conversation, but wasn’t given a chance.
When we pray to God, let’s give Him a chance to be involved and give input; not just as a listener.
This video message is about learning to speak and listen to God. Prayer is talking to God, but what is listening? How do you hear from God? Does God have a voice? How do you discern God’s voice?
Jesus says that people who believe in him will know His voice. That is very important to know that it is possible to hear from God.
