Top 6 Reasons You're Not Hearing From God👂

The written version of this teaching is on its way. In the meantime, watch it here.

These are some of the top items that block us from a close walk with Jesus. A common thread that runs through them all has to do with the heart. Jesus judges the heart, so that is the most important thing.

No, people who stubbornly follow their own ways, not seeking the Truth and not wanting to be corrected, while saying things like, "It's okay, the Lord knows my heart," are NOT exempt. Such people should not expect to hear a thing from God, since they've already pre-determined to reject his counsel.

Meanwhile, Jesus may work powerfully in the life of baby Christians who are still engaged in things that are displeasing, especially if they haven't yet felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit regarding that item. So long as their hearts are willing to say, "yes, Lord," the moment they do receive that conviction, He will be with them.

Here are two questions to help you determine which side of the sheepfold door you reside on: Are you willing to give up anything in your life for the Lord? And do you WANT to know what things He wants you to give up? If your response falls short of an emphatic "YES!" for either of these items, then pray for Jesus to bless you with a new heart, molded after the likeness of His own, and set on doing His good will.

May the Lord bless all who come here--and all of his sheep wherever they are--with a close walk in faith with Him. 🙏 Jesus IS our reward. No other reward can compare.
