Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
We receive a lot of emails and phone calls from people across the globe. We get asked a lot of questions across a wide range of topics.
But the question we get asked the most often is something like this: How do I know God better and how do I hear Him?
It isn’t always worded exactly like that but this should give you an idea a general idea of it.
We always stress that pressing in to God and building your relationship with Him is the only way to hear Him better, know Him better and understand His will for your life.
So how do we “press in” to God? How do we grow our faith, our discernment and our hunger for Him?
We spend time in His word. His word is our source of knowledge and understanding that we need to draw from if we expect to know Him better. It’s His instruction manual for our lives. It’s His laws and commandments that teach us how to keep our lives on track.
And it’s His love story written to us.
You see, as we spend time in His word, we will learn more and more about who He is and what He likes. We will begin to understand Him so much better. And as we do this, our hard hearts will soften and we will begin to long for Him in every aspect of our lives.
James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
So, growing that relationship is as simple as that. If we ask Him to show us who He is, and we’re diligent to put effort into it, He will surely honor our request and draw near to us.
Ask Him for help with the things you’re struggling with. And trust Him to give you what you need to build your relationship with Him. And He will be faithful to answer.
Matthew 7:9 (NKJV) 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
And when we build that relationship with Him, so many other things in our lives will begin to fall into place.
