How to Listen to God Everyday | Pastor Mike Frisch | Active Church Yucaipa

This isn't beyond you and it's not beyond me. People who hear God consistently aren't more spiritual. They're more intentional. They don't have better access to God, they just have better practices. And so in two weeks, in two months, and in two years, we will hear the voice of God regularly when we create the space, when we read his word, when we surround ourselves with good, godly people and community. This is how we can put God at the top of the playlist. How we can prioritize the voice of God in our hearts and in our minds. This is how you and I, two weeks, two months, two years, for our entire life, this is how we can hear, and not just hear, but listen to the voice of God, to make it first.

Many of you might think I don't have the luxury of silence in my life. But here's here's my pushback to you and why I believe it's so important. Silence isn't a spiritual luxury, silence is a spiritual strategy. That you use your time to your advantage because you have time, because you have time, you feel like you don't have time, but you have time during the day, not where you're adding something but where you're infusing something. There's a difference. Adding says, I don't have time. Infusing says, while I'm doing these things, I will. [00:54:10] (38 seconds)  #SilenceIsStrategy

You wanna hear the voice of God in your life, create the space for it. You wanna hear the voice of God in your life, get into the word of God. If you wanna hear the voice of God in your life, be a part of the community. Simple. It's clear. It's accessible. And it's something that you can do, and it's something that I can do. It's not above our pay grade. It's not above our ability. We all have the opportunity to hear and prioritize the voice of God. Let's get God on our playlist and let's have his voice be of first importance, of most importance. [01:09:07] (36 seconds)  #PrioritizeGodsVoice

You can schedule it in and make it a habit of your heart. And here's what I find really fascinating about Jesus and about what the writers of the scriptures say about Jesus, is that Jesus made this a part of his regularly scheduled life. So if Jesus, God in the flesh, needed silence and solitude and needed it to be the rhythm of his life, then me, Mike in the flesh, needs to do the same thing. If Jesus is God in the flesh and he needed this, then Mike, who is just human in the flesh, I need this maybe more than he needed this. So do you. [00:57:32] (37 seconds)  #FollowJesusRhythm
