Hearing God

Do you notice many coincidences in your life? Have you ever thought that God may be trying to get your attention through these coincidences? They are often referred to as miracles where God chooses to remain anonymous. In this episode of the Hearing God Podcast, we unpack how God uses coincidences to communicate with us and how important it is to chase God, not signs.garyandjane.co

Hearing God is more than just ‘hearing’ from God. It is using all our senses and ‘experiencing’ God.

We then share how, if children don’t have the language to describe what is happening to them, they will often act out the atmosphere. We share practical tips to help you change the atmosphere.garyandjane.co

Do you realise and recognise the authority you have in Jesus Christ? Do you hear God in relation to all sorts of matters and boldly decree and declare the outcome? Are you intimate with God and hearing His thoughts and plans for you and the world around you? When we recognise our identity as a beloved son/daughter of God and the authority that comes with it, we then trust that God will hear us and speak to us.

Trusting God enough that He will answer me is directly tied to our identity in God and what we believe about God. Is God trustworthy?

Join us as we explore the question, "Do I trust God enough that He will answer me?" and look at how viewing ourselves through the lens of a beloved child of the Most High God means that God will answer us.garyandjane.co

Autumn is typically a time of harvest's end and a period of reflection. We see the reward of our hard work. We have a little breather to reflect and plan before preparing and tilling the land to lie fallow for spring planting. Join us as we explore hearing God during this autumn season of our lives and discover suggestions to make the most of this time.garyandjane.co

Summer is a time of harvest, of working hard and long hours and capitalising on the breaks to take a breather and have fun. It is a time of monitoring the weather so that the crops don't become spoiled.

Join us as we explore hearing God in the summer season of harvest.garyandjane.co

New beginnings and fast growth, potential, promise and possibilities often characterise a spring season. A time of excitement and breakthrough, but it can also be a time of chaos and frantic activity, feeling pulled in numerous ways with limited time. Remaining connected to God is crucial in this time, but it may also be a time of discovering God in the new. Join us as we explore hearing God in the spring season of new opportunities and growth.garyandjane.co

Winter can be a time of withdrawal, retreat, stagnation, and closure. A time for transitions and endings. It can be a bleak and disheartening season, where you endure and wait longingly, struggling to hear God and perhaps feeling distant from Him. A time when you may be tempted to pull away from God or feel that God is silent. We unpack why it is so important not to 'camp' in this season but to move through it. We ask the question, 'what if the goal of this season was learning to wait well?' and how that may well change our attitude throughout this season, as waiting can be a spiritual discipline. We also explore how 'why' questions can often be fruitless and examine what can be helpful instead. Join us as we explore hearing God during the winter season and offer practical suggestions on how to handle the waiting.garyandjane.co

In life, we experience not only the weather seasons but also metaphorical seasons, such as dry and barren seasons, the waiting season, the busy season, a season of celebration, or a season of spiritual warfare, among others. No season is perfect. Each season has its unique problems. The way we handle one season profoundly impacts how we experience the seasons that follow. Seasons are not a punishment from God. Instead, they are a time of preparation and growth. Our attitude is so crucial in the season we are currently in. There are certain things we have no control over, but by doing the right thing in our current season and maintaining the correct attitude towards it, we can prepare for the next season and thrive, regardless of which season we find ourselves in. Join us as we explore how to hear God in various seasons of life.garyandjane.co

The retirement years are not meant to be a never-ending holiday. Although the Bible doesn't specifically address retirement, apart from Numbers 8, which instructs priests to leave the heavy lifting to younger men, it does refer to the aging process and the responsibilities and legacies we are to leave for our children and grandchildren. Join us as we explore hearing God regarding the retirement years and stewarding our time, thoughts, purpose, discipleship, and resources.garyandjane.co

Fun, laughter, chaos, playing together, reading the Bible together, singing and worshipping God, practising listening to God, and sharing our dreams can all describe how we experience God as a family.

Life often seems to throw us 'curve balls', and we can end up living lives different from what we imagined. How we deal with these events is vital.

He then discovered what God can do with a person fully devoted to Him. Join us as we unpack how Moses heard God amid these events and how it can relate to our life.garyandjane.co

Join us as we unpack how Jochebed in the Bible (Moses' mother) handled an order as a midwife to not only kill male babies but also the actions she took to save her baby boy. It may be a bit of a stretch to say Jochebed 'heard' God. It's probably more how she responded to God throughout this time. Jochebed was willing to make difficult decisions and great sacrifices, putting her whole family at risk. But God. Just as God quietly orchestrated events in the life of Jochebed, be assured that He is also working behind the scenes in your life. garyandjane.co

Join us as we unpack the story of David in the Bible, the principles we can learn from it, and how to apply them to our lives in hearing God.garyandjane.co
