Episode Description:
God’s desire is for communication with us. He wants to have a relationship with us and share thoughts, insights, solutions, strategies, and secrets with us. God also wants to hear our thoughts, struggles, dreams, and desires. If you want God to speak to you, He will always answer you. He is a loving God who wants to communicate with us. We can hear God for ourselves. This episode contains keys to help you hear from God.
