Welcome to another insightful session of "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." Today, we explore the profound truth that God’s communication with us didn’t end with the last words of Scripture but continues vibrantly today. Our guiding scripture, John 16:12, reveals that Jesus has much more to say to us, extending beyond His time on earth into our daily lives.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is: [Jesus said,] "There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now." - JOHN 16:12

This passage from John's Gospel is a clear indication that our interaction with Jesus is meant to be dynamic and ongoing. Jesus was speaking to His disciples, setting the stage for all believers to anticipate continuous guidance from Him. Historical examples like Agabus and Philip’s daughters, who demonstrated prophetic gifts, show us that early Christians did not just read about God’s works and words; they experienced them in real-time.

Today, Jesus still speaks to guide, comfort, instruct, and sometimes correct us. He desires a personal relationship where His voice becomes a vital part of our decision-making process. This divine dialogue is not just about receiving directives but about fostering a deeper relationship with the Creator.

Steps That You Can Take:

* Cultivate a Listening Heart:

* Action Step: Dedicate time each day to silence and solitude to hear God’s voice without distractions.

* Accountability Measure: Set a daily alarm as a reminder to pause, reflect, and listen. Share this practice with a friend or a community member to encourage each other in this habit.

* Immerse Yourself in the Scriptures:

* Action Step: Regularly read and meditate on the Bible, allowing the Holy Spirit to highlight and apply God’s words to your current situations.

* Accountability Measure: Join or form a Bible study group where insights and applications are discussed. This communal approach will help reinforce your understanding and application of what you read.

* Respond Actively to Heard Messages:

* Action Step: Act on the insights and directions you believe you have received from God to demonstrate your trust in His voice.

* Accountability Measure: Keep a journal of what you sense God is saying and review it periodically with a spiritual mentor to seek confirmation and to discuss the outcomes of your obedience.

Conclusion: Embracing the voice of God as a constant in our lives transforms us from passive readers of the Word to active participants in God’s ongoing story. It’s not only about hearing but also about responding with belief and obedience.

Call to Action: Challenge yourself this week to identify one way in which you can enhance your practice of listening to God. Perhaps it's setting aside a specific time for prayer or engaging more deeply with scripture. Whatever it is, make a commitment and stick to it.

Question of the Day: What might be holding you back from hearing God’s voice, and how can you address these obstacles?

Let's Pray: Lord, thank You for Your promise to speak to us continually. Open our ears and soften our hearts to recognize Your voice. Help us to trust not only in Your ability to speak but in Your desire to engage with us every day. Teach us to respond with prompt obedience and joyful assurance that You are actively involved in our lives. Amen.
