[Ep 83] Posturing Your Heart to Hear from God, Part 2: Recognize

Last week, we started a series all about posturing our hearts to hear from God. Specifically, we talked about the first R—ready—and how we can get both our physical space and our inner space, our hearts, ready to meet with God. In essence, we are preparing ourselves to hear from Him, especially in those moments when we are trying to discern a specific question or issue. Today, we are going to talk about the second heart posture: recognize. Recognize is all about learning how to recognize God's voice and movement in our lives. And it's a heart posture because it's about slowing down and paying attention to what God is doing and saying. And this is probably one of the things that people question themselves on the most. How do I know this is God speaking to me? How do I know it's not just coincidence or someone else influencing me? How do I know it's not just my own thoughts and feelings? Or even the enemy? Join me as I share a practical exercise and some basic principles on recognizing God's voice and movement in your life.
