The steps to hear God's voice
The steps to hear God's voice
In the last 8 years, every day that I wake up, I am in a constant state of grace and gratefulness.
I remember when I had hit rock bottom yet again and I realized that I had to give it all over to God. I realized that I could not do this on my own, it was too big for me to handle, I needed help, big help, I needed his help.
Now, when I talk about God and that this is my walk, you may or may not believe in the God that I do and that's fine. It's about whatever gets you through your day, if it works for you then it's good for you.
But this is what got me through my dark times, this is who I believed in to help change my life. See I had to learn that I needed to let go. I also learned that I only needed to look at the positive, and learn to be grateful for even the smallest things. Before becoming grateful for everything, I had to learn that I also needed to cut out negative people from my life, and I needed to forgive others but most importantly to forgive myself.
Yes, there are steps to get you where you want to go, and you ask will it be easy? Oh, you know that I won't lie to you….No, it's going to be hard as hell especially the part of forgiveness, when you will never get an apology yet still have to forgive and let go. I'm sorry I don't sugar coat anything. It will be hard, and you may be stuck at a few steps along the way but when you finally get there, to that place of peace and joy, it will be amazing!
So if your looking to start this journey here here are some questions to start with:
Do you only see the negative in life?
Is your entire faith walk driven by your senses?
Do you have to see it? Do you have to touch it for it to be true?
Faith is the belief in things unseen...
So if you want to know what worked for me here are the three steps that taught me to hear God's voice.
1- You must submit yourself to him.
He doesn't force you to want to hear him but he is there, he is waiting for you, if you seek him out. If you ask him for help, if you turn your life and your troubles to him.
2-Read and apply his word to your life.
Yes, we are all human and God knows how many times I have screwed up, but I keep trying to be better, I keep trying to apply his word to everything I do. I keep reading and listening to his voice because I make a decision. Since it is clearly obvious that my choices didn't work out so great.
3-Be spirit driven.
Always feel the spirit in you, it will tell what is right and wrong, it will guide you, it will fill your soul with peace and joy.
Last year I decided that my motto would be:
Where he leads me I will follow….
I know that he gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers.
Even if I didn't want them, he thinks I can handle them, so I will take them on.
That's it, I will not ask questions, I will not complain even if it was not what I wanted or prayed for. Whatever comes I will be grateful, I will give praise, I will not worry, it is not my will, it is his, I let it all go.
I decided I was not going to have an
Ego= Edging God Out
I obviously have made some really messed up decisions on my own, so I was going to quit and let him make them for me. And I have never had so much peace and joy as I have felt this year. Even through the pandemic, even though I had hardly any money coming in, even though I walked away from the love of my life. Even though I was struggling to help my daughter, who was battling depression. Even when the whole world had gone crazy and people you knew and loved were dying, I held on even tighter to God and his word.
This is what got me through, what continues to get me through, the many more setbacks I had this year with my arm surgery, my even more loss of income and my own depression I battled through, I hung on to that tiny mustard seed of faith and knew that he would take care of me.
Seriously what else can we do? I remember not eating, sleepless nights, being so overwhelmed trying to figure it all out. I remember my anxiety, my hair falling out and did that change anything in my circumstances? No, not one dam bit but God did. He taught me to trust him, to be calm, to give him all my problems and then just be, knowing he will handle them. Maybe not in the way I would or in my time frame but I knew it shall be done.
So today my friends I am here to tell you that this is my journey and how I got here. These are the steps and if it works for you great, if you got there another way, also great as long as each and every day you feel like you're living in a state of grace and gratitude, it is then you will know that you have found God's voice.
