Episode 9: Part 2 How Can I Grow in My Ability to Hear God?

Episode Description:

This episode is the second part of how we can grow in our ability to hear God (episode 8). It is full of practical ways we can practice hearing God. Two common questions people have are “What if I get it wrong?” and “Is this just me or is it God?” Gary and Jane cover these questions, as well as share numerous practical examples.

Episode Notes:

1. Practice (second part)

• What if I get it wrong?
• Is this just me or is it God?
• First thought principle
• 1 Corinthians 14:3 – a prophetic word is encouraging, comforting, and strengthening.
• Prophetic words help people encounter God’s love.

2. Third Principle – feedback

• Ask people, “does this resonate with you?”
• Does it come true? Is it confirmed?
• Have a mentor.
• Record yourself.
• Journal promptings and answers.
• Actively grow in this area.

3. Fourth Principle – have fun

• Celebrate the step of faith, not just the outcome.
• Start with the visible, then go to the invisible eg prophetic activations.

Prophetic Activation:

Ask God to highlight a Bible verse or a chapter/book/person of the Bible that relates to you. Ask God questions about how it applies to your life.
