Psalm 85:8: Let me hear what God the LORD will speak...

Knowing God and knowing God's voice comes from knowing God's Word. This doesn't happen by osmosis. Osmosis is the process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of knowledge, and it happens spontaneously and without any effort or energy on your part.

In order to truly know God and His Voice, you have to spend quality time with God in His Word, prayer, and worship. This is an active process. It takes desire, effort, time, and discipline. It takes love and sacrifice. Loving God and sacrificing your time to get to know the God you love.

The enemy of your soul will use anything or anybody to distract you from spending time in God’s Word and prayer. You have to shut down from the distractions. Distractions can be the phone, TV, the computer, politics, the noise and news of this world, social media (Tick Tock, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc.).

If you truly want to hear from God shut down the distractions and spend time with God in the Word of God. If you need and want your faith to increase, meditate upon the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. It you want your mind to be renewed and transformed, spend time with God in fellowship and God’s Word. God's Word will renew your mind and transform you so that you will know God, know God’s voice, and learn to know God’s will for your life. If you need and want wisdom, spend time in the book of Proverbs and James. If you need and want peace, spend time in the book of Psalms. Know God, Know Peace. “Great peace have they that love the law and nothing shall offend them” Psalms 119:165.
God wants His sheep to know Him and His voice! "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand" (John 10:14,27-28).

No distractions

Lord please help me get rid of the distractions that cause me not to be close to you. Also take people and things out of my life that prevent me from doing the things you want me to do.
