Prayer Tip #3-An Ear to Hear

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Revelation 3:22 NIV

One of the number one questions that many seem to have when developing a prayer life is, "Will I hear from God?"  The answer to that question is YES!  A prayer life is communication with our Heavenly Father.  He speaks to us and we speak to Him.  It is definitely two-way communication even though there may be some days where you only need to listen.  God has made Himself available to each and everyone of us by way of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit dwells within us and if we submit ourselves to quiet time with our Father, we will be able to hear what He has to say regarding every area of our lives.  Don't make the mistake of thinking that God only speaks to your pastor or certain people.  He has a desire to speak with you as well, but we have to have an ear for His voice.

Now developing an ear may take a little time and a little patience, but it is well worth the effort.  Pray that God would speak to you in a way that is clear for your understanding.  Pray that He would still your mind and silence the voice of the enemy so that you can hear Him and Him alone.  Pray that you would be tuned into the proper frequency of the spirit.  Tell Him that you desire to hear from Him in order to develop a more intimate relationship with Him.  Remember that whatever you ask in His name shall be given so don't be afraid to tell the Father that you want to know Him better by being able to hear Him more clearly.  Your prayer life changes drastically once you can hear what your Father has to say because He gives insight on all areas of your life.  Go to Him today and don't stop until you receive the desired result which is an ear to hear!

Peace and Blessings,
