- If God seems silent to you, it could be that there are things blocking you from hearing His voice. To keep the channels of communication open between you and God, you must recognize and remove the barriers that separate you from Him.

1. Busyness (distractions)
2. Competing voices
3. Unprepared heart
4. Idols set up in your heart
5. Sin/ disobedience
I’m not worthy
@@SweetColo that is a lie the enemy wants you to believe. If you have repented of your sin nature & accepted Christ as your Savior... you are seen as forgiven, redeemed, valued, whole, adopted into the royal family if the Most High King. Father God remembers your sins NO MORE.
@@CherBear53 thank you 🙏
Thanks for listing the reasons … fyi, it’s spelled “busyness”. 😘❤️
😊@@CherBear53
When I worship my God, I end up a tearful wreck on the floor as I can only say "THANK YOU" over and over for all that God has done in my life. Thank you Lord.
Keep that to yourself
I'm the same I always cry my heart out ! N I weep hard lol I try to just keep it simple but i always end up crying like a toddler 😂
hehe yeah... the human race is SO 'LUCKY' to even HAVE a God who cares and reaches out, makes himself available. I have had similar experience as you. I'm not confident what it's going to be like when it's face to face. Oh geez my pathetic humanity ...
How can something that doesn't exist do anything to enhance your life? there is no God
@@Lili-Benovent bruh..shut up !!
1. Business/Distractions
- having your attention diverted
- hobbies, cell phones, things, relationships, work
2. Competing voices
- make an appointment with God. Read your Bible or you will be easily deceived and misled because your relationship with god becomes more around the realm of your feelings instead of the realm of truth.
- Even in your waiting phase be busy doing things.
- Schedule your day!
3. Unprepared heart
- Keep your heart soft and fertile through
- worship, reading Bible and reflecting
- Prayer, reverential fear of the lord
- “ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” (Matthew 6:21). Before you give someone your heart, you must determine the condition of theirs.
4. Not having your heart in a neutral position
Having Idols set up in your heart
Covetousness - a strong desire for something you believe is good for you.
Stubbornness- push back from what we know God has said in his word.
- Giving your strength and love to something more than God
- hold things above God in your heart
- every time you ask God for something make sure your heart is neutral to accept the answer you receive
5. Sin / disobedience
I have been struggling for weeks trying to finish projects and apply for things I realize I have been coveting, and that I never truly asked the Lord for with a neutral heart. I said I wanted to hear His voice and obey Him, but in this situation I think I made up what I wanted to hear and went with it saying well "the Lord cares about what I care about, so let me pray for what I care about", not leaving space for the Lord to tell me what He cared about most in that time. I was so foolish and stubborn. I am grateful that the Lord led me to this video and opened my eyes. Now, I understand that I have erred and I need to repent. Thank you Lord God for this revealation and the opportunity to repent. Thank you Lord for using your servant John to share this message, may he be highly blessed and favored for his obedience. May he experience even greater grace and mercy in his own struggles/missteps. Amen.
Indeed....me too.
🙌 *As we express our desires for wealth and health in 2024, let's also remember to thank God for the abundance we've already received. Gratitude opens the door to even more blessings.*
Oh wow John I literally prayed to God about this the other day asking him why I cant hear him anymore and wham! You make this video. Thank you so much for this
We should NEVER STOP. Thanking Jesus for what he did for us. 😭😭
If you want to hear God speak, read your bible.
If you want to hear Him audibly, read it out loud!
Never trust a voice in your head, over Gods word!
If you get baptized in the Holy Spirit, you can hear him speak. But he will never contradict his Word.
Exactly. People think they need to hear an audible voice guiding them, and that couldn’t be more wrong. Voices in your head are manifestations of your thoughts. Thoughts that can be guided by what your brain believes to be true. If you want guidance when making important decisions it’s really simple.
1. Read your Bible, because it holds the truth you need to live the way God wants you to.
2. Pray that you would correctly interpret that truth.
3. Make decisions joyfully within the freedom of that truth.
Forgiveness is so huge I've found! And repentance daily before I pray, or play my guitar and song his praises!❤
??? Are you a burglar or a drug pusher? What are you guilty of?
Stop doing horrible things.
@@howdydoodey3872 Are you perfect never sin? what a ridiculous nonsensical comment. Grow up
I feel that God “speaks” by answering my prayers for spiritual blessings (strength, healing, patience etc..) On the one occasion I heard a soft but firm voice that told me “just be yourself” when I was spiraling with depression and thinking I was not worthy. As if to say “don’t force yourself, you’re my child and I’ll always love you. And I’ll *always* be here.” 🥲
Thank you for this , God spoke to me through this.. I have been busy and lazy and coveting things are not for me.
So true pastor JB. Distraction is easily acquired and difficult to release.
Ur extremely right ! I need to make time for God 😢
Wow I'm only halfway through this video and it's already speaking directly to me! Especially about the golf addiction! I'm in the middle of that now and told my family yesterday that I was going to put my clubs up for a little while. So of course I stumble on this video today. I read the Bible daily and watch sermons daily as well but am still addicted to distractions I realize. It's so bad that my friends that I have a group text with, renamed the group God and Golf to give me a hard time since that's all I ever talk to them about these days. I'm hoping the end of the video addresses this. What if you do have too many distractions in your life but still spend daily time with God? Since I have been saved 3 years ago, it seems like I'll do anything to not have to deal with this world. So I "think" I use the distractions to escape the world at times and not necessarily God. But my job and my family suffer I realize after typing this out and I don't want that to be the case anymore!
Thank you,, i needed to hear this. A few minutes ago,, im in a really dark place in my mind.
Do you want prayer?
@@GenesisSpeaks that would be truly appreciated. I needed some prayer for me and my family. If its not too much. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
@@ViewMyChannelPlspraying for you
@@ViewMyChannelPlsI said a prayer for you too. Trusting God has been the most helpful thing I've done in difficult situations. Praying that God gives you supernatural peace and joy. God Bless you always 😊
*❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank you Jesus and God for everything you have done for us We love you Jesus and God AMEN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤*
Thank u father for being my Heavenly Father I’ve been praying about this father I’ll do whatever it takes to see u or hear u lord I love you 💜💜💜
This.. is so awesome. So many thank the person then God. All thanks and praise go to the Father of our lord Jesus Christ. When we take that thanks we took His glory. No man will glory in His site. I use to try to thanks this Grand mother that prayed 4 hours a day. Wow so much power of GOD. When she prayed it happened. Just saying thank you "NO never thank me thank Christ/God" so forth so on. We mean will but its all belongs to Him. Then we thank people for it.. we love it
Thanks to @John Bevere for the teachings. You are such a passionate teacher of the Word.
Thank y'all so much for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough while God is at work and I long to see what He is doing behind the scenes
Whatever is TRULY most important to a person ...is their god.
I've never heard God, but He often gives me _"a piece of His mind"_ - 1Cor 2:16
Thank you God bless you sir
Thank you!!❤
Thank you for this word!
Thank You....gratitude from Kenya, Africa
Amazing sermon! It's just what I needed!
A walk with God, and a relationship starts with looking for Him, and keeps straight through constant prayer and meditation with Him. Keeping in His word, and saying no to evil things. It is a straight path we find, and we are here to shine the light that is God's Word, and the Light of Christ more brightly on a day to day basis to those who seek and love Him.
I thank God for you and yours, I needed this today.
Thank u pastor 🙏
Thank you, Pastor John!
This was a great teaching. Thank you. ❤
This is fantastic, I wish I heard this a few yrs ago, thank you!!!!
Thank you. Thank you for the redirection. I have felt lost for a little bit. Today, I feel like I've been put back on track. 🥰 Thank you. 💜
Thank you so much I been going through a lot , the part you said about business I feel I have that going on thank you for this video ❤
Thank you for this.
Wow Thank you Lord for reminding me thru this message❤
Thank you John
Thank you brother for that wonderful direction. I am from India heard and understood. God bless!
YES AND AMEN IN 2023.
Amen so manythings get in the way. To just take time and listen. Thank you Father for this...
I love this teaching. My first time hearing him!!
This was So Darn Good, Right on Point, and Exactly what I needed to hear at this moment in my life. Ive been hearing God’s voice on every topic but one, and last night I begged God to help me understand why He has been so quiet on it. This was exactly the answer I needed to hear. Amazing.
Amen Pastor John thank you so much . He love's a intimacy relationship with us. Always be ready to obey him . ❤
So good thank you!
❤ Hallelujah
I keep watching this….over and over! God Bless You!
Sorry - you are crazy. Go for a walk and breathe fresh air.
Awesome teaching, on the Written Word and Spoken, Rhema Word-(The Living Word Himself)!!! Maaaan, Outstanding instruction, Bro. John!!! Idolatry, starts with, "I".
God isn't silent, we have his word.
I used to read the bible 8hours per day in the beginning and analyses it with colors, now it depents sometimes im to amaze about what im reading so i eat the word!
Amen
🙏🏾 Amen
I enjoyed this lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reminding me to continue to make my time with our heavenly father for praying, reading his word and spending an hour with him. Art finally entered back into my life and I need to spend time drawing with him.
LongforTruth1 best chanal that exposes false profets
The realm of feelings vs the realm of truth ... so good !!!
Fresh cow shit is also warm and comforting.
To hear the instructions we must
put away the distractions.😊
PRAISE JESUS
Level Up BOSS
I have a bad habit of watching too may "prophetic voices", I want so badly for our nation and this world to be restored Im desperate for HOPE! Lord help me to spend more time with You and in Your word than on UA-cam! In Jesus name Amen!
Hello.
thank you,my prayer was answered.
2 Chronicles 16:9 KJV
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him...
1 Timothy 2:1 I Exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 For Kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godliness, and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior.
4 Who will that all men shall be saved, and come unto the acknowledging of the truth.
UNBELIEVE (="God would not talk to me") is also a big big one.
[James 1:5-7] If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
He talks, but it is us, shutting our ears, when we don't trust him.
I hear from God everyday and every time I read the bible! Don't make it difficult!
Hi John,
I’ve watched some of your videos and find them fascinating in the sense that you say God actually speaks to you. I understand God speaks to us through scripture and through situations but frankly I’ve never ever heard Him speak to me directly. Am I to conclude that I am just not spiritual enough or worthy to hearing Him?
I was once saved at 19 but fell away into disbelief for quite a long while but now I came back to God 5 months ago but I haven’t heard Gods voice or felt his presence. Could this be because I was once saved and fell away and now God won’t accept me back ?? Please help
Dear friend, if you came back to God in repentance and godly sorrow, you did hear from Him. If you actually received His forgiveness and walk in it daily, you will know that He took you back. Meditating on the scripture about His love, forgiveness, and His gift of righteousness, reading them aloud, will absolutely strengthen your spirit, soul and body. This is hearing from Him. His mercy endures forever. ❤️🙏
Seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit is key to the Christian life. Without His infilling us to overflow, we will never experience the intimacy we were created for, and we'll live defeated.
I don’t think we should strive to be busy at all. Most of us are over-worked as it is, and exhausted. Try to get adequate sleep, and take time for R&R. Spend quiet time with God.
For myself I like to keep it simple 1) Disobedience 2) Disobedience 3) Disobedience, from Adam till now, fullstop. Not only in the mortal realm but also in the spiritual realm. So I am sure the evil spirit of disobedience is at work. Let's not forget the big picture.
Okay I go back on my previous comment somewhat, perhaps there is more going on than I realized, but I'm used to having a Father that didn't always talk to me and always made me feel not good enough, with God it's the same story again, effectively doubling the previous pain, except now it's infinitely worse.
However I am strong, and let God's will be done.
There's only so much that can be taken from you until you go numb forever.
I just hope it's not too late to hear from God one day just in case before it's too late.
Prayer would be nice, thanks fam.
Great teaching! Can someone tell me....I hear this pastor quoting from "the message bible". I have heard that translation and the passion translation attacked a lot online. I read the Passion translation beside other older translations. I like it and I don’t see a problem with it. There are a few places that I see words that may be added but it is easy to see that those are added. What do you think of those 2 translations?
You didn’t cover the point regarding sickness and not being able to hear because your pain is so great, how can you hear in this situation?
By praying and thanking God for delivering your pain, to be able to listen clearly. Look for the signs God can also show you, giving you inspiration to change any behavior made by the pain. Every sign we receive differs from one another as our walks are all different.
When you see a sign of something you need to change, immediately act upon it and you may be humbled in that moment to be released from the pain, and begin a new journey free from stress.
Prayer will keep you free of pain. God Bless you along your path.🙌🏽
@@GODJWilly Hi guys thank you for your message, when you have done all you know it’s a matter of waiting. ( it’s not Gods intention for us to wait) but that’s the way it’s been in churches, It’s unfortunate that people pray all the time yet Jesus didn’t pray he just rebuked the spirit behind the sickness and the person was delivered. All the people in church only offer to pray and as much as I’m grateful for them it’s not what Jesus did. that’s why so many are sick around us, but we can’t fight the system until the want to be enlightened. Appreciate you stay blessed.
I STRUGGLE WITH THIS.
Ask him to show how faithfull he is in scripture
He could do us a solid and come back for a short press conference to clear up a lot of confusion. Why wouldn’t he?
doing stock investment considered work or do i have to physically ?
I have interacted with God, literally, believe it how can you, you can't, you don't know what God is. Why, there is no why,why is not 🚫 question, the phenomena I experienced, well I felt like Moses! Hello I am him,l love you All.
Why
Should We
Distrust
Our
Senses?
With the beginning of mankind's existence,
the struggle of thinking also existed...
Open your ears, and eyes. For Christ finished His work on earth. Seek and ye shall find, and all good things come from seeking God. Who is Christ Jesus our Lord.
Hey John, if your hearing God, what’s he’s saying to you about warning the flock on the Wax?
John 8:47
I know of someone who is married and is being told to marry someone else and the partner hears I have put you 2 together don't let no one come between now who is right?
What do I do if He says idolatry but I don’t know in which area? So many things that can be idolatry.
Pray about it
Are the other other 7 videos going to be made available?
They will become available gradually.
I think daily
I had the same question. Can't wait to watch the remainder videos. Very good series.
Yes they will be! Subscribe and turn on post notifications so you don't miss a Lesson! We hope it blesses you abundantly.
@@JohnBevereTV I'm watching them now on MessengerX
with the example of praying for marriage, you mentioned you should be neutral when praying. If we know we are praying with specifics in mind, should we pray? Idk I thought the whole “write it down, make it plain” scripture was about praying with intention. what posture should my heart be in if it’s something you truly desire. Should the guy in the example simply prayed to be married or ask if he’s meant to be married? What difference would that wording had made when in his heart he knew he wanted to be with the cutie? I missed the message.
How can anything block God's voice?
If you want to hear God, read the scriptures.
20:29
What I don’t understand about the Martha and Mary thing is that someone had to be cooking. I would love to sit and listen to Jesus but at the same time if I’ve invited him over then I would also want to make sure there’s something to eat. Maybe she could’ve cooked earlier I suppose. Can anyone help me understand something I’m missing ?
when people tell me god talks to them. my first thought is always.... nah thats probably the devil.
Martha didn't miss it.
You’re telling me God wants to talk. But if I’m like… kinda busy, he can’t overcome that barrier? Not without great effort on my part to help him? The most powerful being in the universe? My kids don’t care how busy I am. They’re very good at getting my attention. Masters of the craft. And they’ve never once created a universe.
Dear love, it isn’t that he CAN’T overcome the barrier… He won’t. He invites you closer to Him, into a place of rest that business robs you of. It teaches you to go to where you can commune with Him, hear from him - a secret place. He is holy, and it’s amazing He extends that invitation for you to come into His presence❤
@@legendsofphoenix6591 wait, so it's not even that He can't? It's that He won't?! Bruh nobody wants to work anymore fr fr
Anyone can hear God by reading and studying the the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible say to understand the end we have to go to the Beginning. Remember the beginning of the Bible is Genesis not Matthew. Then realized that the original writing of the Bible is Hebrew translated to every language. Sometimes the message can be lost in a translation. So to get better understanding of the Bible study it i it’s original writing Hebrew also.
How can you tell the difference between Gods voice or the other guys voice?
JEHOVAH voice always sounds like his character. Know his character know his voice.
I honestly dont know if im saved or if ive lost my salvation its horrible the state im in :(
I see you have the Superman sign. Superman was created by two Jewish teenagers in Ohio. Kal-El means '" Voice of God." ABC of Salvation: A: Accept your a sinner. B: Believe Jesus died for your sins and rose again after 3 days. C: Call on the name of Christ to save you with his shed Blood to atone for your sins. Mean it in your heart. DONE DEAL.
@@sapphirestar5666 Wow really ? I had no idea about that maybe thats why Superman has always been my favorite hero 😄 and Im pretty sure I have done that and also still believe that but I will pray about it to make sure thank you for the help it means a lot 😊
What God, I can't hear you..? What? Hey, just get out of my life God
If God wants to talk to you, He will make it clear.
You say He whispered to you about the golf clubs...that's all I'm asking. Please just whisper something lord
Hebrews 1:1-2 KJVS
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, [2] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
U say God talks through u through ur heart but it says in scripture that your heart is deceitful ? Can u explain
If you don't hear God, open your Bible.
I love you bro John..... BUT, PLEASE WATCH HOW YOU word certain things. I am 57, and have "worked" most of my life!!! But, am a disabled veteran. So, in a sense, I don't work. I don't have a job, out in public, but I do work to serve other vets, my family, and seniors, ect. Funny, that word,"work". It could be works , one's works of self righteous ness, that are on you're list of 5 things. Be---do---have, that's the formula. Believe, starts with be. But, you are 1 of the fearing and most anointed teachers of or time. I'm sure if I ask you, face2face you could clear up my concern, in seconds. Blessings and sweet sleep,...... Bro. Chaz.
I agree!
Thank you for your service
