1. God wants you to prepare your heart to listen and submit before you speak and request. 2. Prayerfully ask God a specific yes or no question that is clear and concise. 3. Prayerfully sit before the Lord, listening for a sense of direction from the Holy Spirit. 4. Prayerfully seek confirmation about what you sense God is saying by bringing both yeses and noes before Him. 5. Actively seek biblical confirmation that stems from a clear rendering of scripture.
I’ve had people tell me that God doesn’t speak to anyone and they even said that whoever thinks they can hear God’s voice needs some serious help. But the Bible clearly states that His children hear His voice. These few people claimed to be saved, but how can one be saved if they don’t believe God speaks. He’s not an idle man made God, He is a moving, speaking, living God. These words did make me question whether or not I was truly hearing God, but God quickly put the verse “My children know my voice” on my heart. For anyone reading, if anyone says this to you, whether they claim to be christian or not, pray that they will hear the beautiful and wondrous voice of the Lord before it’s too late. There’s nothing more sweeter than hearing God speak to you.
God loves you repent and trust in Him He’s coming soon be ready God forgive me for my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness have mercy on the world in Jesus name 🙏✝️
Woke in the middle of the night, worrying about a decision and found this. You can add me to the list of people for are healthily creeped out by the timing!! Haha.
Being willing to hear what God has to say at all costs puts us at a point of trust and anchors our soul completely in Him. Your heart, at this point begins to believe that no matter what He says He has the best for you. He’s beautiful... and He’s my best friend
I've asked God several times about something that has been puzzling me and I've always been getting answers from God. He definitely answers when you allow him to speak to you.
" Read the Bible daily and saturate your mind with the scripture" - well said brother.... But reading it daily is. A big challenge.. because of work pressure n all that.... Still want to dedicate a particular time for it... Because we 💯 know God will guide us through His words
So this happened to me: Yesterday I was so happy, joyful, and at peace In The Lord. Then a few hours later, at night, it was gone. I felt completely abandoned. Like God left me. I was doubting my salvation, and being scared that I think I’m saved but I’m not. I just want to experience his love again.
The holy spirit can't stay with you, though he will always 'be' with you when you sin. Envy, strife, jealousy, anger, sexual sins etc etc can cause this seperation
God will never leave you or forsake you. I can relate to what you are going through. You are human, so you are going to feel human emotions. I had a tendency to oscillate between joyful peace and feeling depressed and hopeless before but it was God leading me to understand and deal with the reason for these feelings - lack of purpose in my life, suppressed trauma, toxic relationships, unconfessed sin. He's a loving father and his feelings and thoughts to you do not change even when you don't feel like he's there. Keep going and seek to trust God and have a real and honest relationship with him, understanding what his heart is to you. Psalms are good if you need a good template to pray.
The Holy Spirit works through you so timely. In the midst of being mentally attacked it can be somewhat difficult to decipher God’s voice. Thanks for the video
God bless you Mark. The word that spoke to me most is God always speaks but since it’s not what we want, we pretend he didn’t speak! Father help us to be passionate about your will🙏🏻
Please pray for me, I have someone I love who is deep in sin, I too am not all there and need prayer. I love this person very much, I pray for them so much and I hope God will answer my prayers one day, please pray for God to come into her life and for him to guide me to become a better believer.
God bless you and your family brother for taking your time in helping us to know how to know his words, by using your gift of wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and by your experiences. Amen ❤❤❤❤
As usual , you are so on point. God is in your life, there is no doubt at all. The time to get it right with GOD is NOW. GOD BLESS . KEEP ENCOURAGING, AND ENLIGHTENING, KEEP DOING GODS WORK.
Never been religious , had a difficult upbringing and never was introduced or sought it out. After losing basically everything at this point and having been too 4 or 5 different detox facilities and rehabs in a little over the past year all by my own doing and still never being able to sustain sobriety as I watched everyone and everything I loved slip away in front of me. I decided tonight that I will try this last time , I shot what I hope can be my last dose of heroin ever. I’m asking for gods assistance in this and when I wake up tomorrow sick I will be ready to do whatever it takes and suffer as much as I need to or he sees fit to get my life back. I’m turning it over to god , I vow to do my part from tonight forward and pray that he just helps me along the way to overcome this evil that’s overcome and decimated my life and my family... God bless all of you , I’m waking up to take a bit of the Suboxone strip that I have saved in order to ease the withdrawal process and going to try and do a short term taper off of that from home , I don’t even care how sick I get or how much pain I need to endure at this point because I officially feel hopeless and lost all will you live or go on , I have 3 innocent beautiful young daughters to live for and no amount of suffering can compare to the thought of me giving up on them and continuing on this path. I also plan on finding and joining a local church to help along the way , I’m dead serious and done living this way when I know I’m better and a good person at heart full of love and light buried underneath a tremendous amount of pain and negativity. Time to find my way to that light.... Thanks for the video my man 🙏 and I pray all is well with you and your loved ones...
I shared with the people on my reservation through social media. Your message, Jesus be praised! Is being shared! His will on Earth as in heaven..his will be done.
Thanks for such a great video Mark. I needed this reminder to stop being so long winded when I'm talking with God. I'm not currently asking Him for anything specific, I just enjoy talking with Him. 😊✝️🙏 God bless you!
Thank you Mark for your effort to explain what God wants from us, you are a great servant of the Lord, He is surely very happy with your great effort and work!
hi my name is sumintra RAMPERSAD i am from Trinidad nd Tobago i love listening to this program my husband passed away this year in January i am trusting GOD for his will in my life and I really appreciate this program i come in agreement with this word GOD words i say amen
Well said man! So many times over the years I have tried to explain to friends and strangers these specific and consistent times with the Lord in hearing him, but you clearly laid out some of the keys for sure that Abba Father uses. It is really this simple most times. Blessings!
This is the best video I saw on the topic. Been learning more and more on how to hear the Lord cause I want him to lead every area on my life. It is not easy to figure out. But this video helped me a lot. Thank you!
I've asked God specifically 2 times now that the next video you post will help me to answer a question and the first time it did and then the second time now, this time, I asked that His will just be done in this and yet another question answered . God is good🙌. And your videos are truly blessings as they help me get deeper understandings on certain topics, especially relationship wise and they often times come right in time. It's astonishing how God works through you to bless so many and give us deeper insight. God bless you Mark🙏. Thank you 😊😊
I'm thankful that God loves me enough for sending me this video. I was literally starting about an hour ago thinking so heavily about how to hear an answer from him to a few questions i have.. Thats awesome. Praise God
Yes, just on time again! Been praying and fasting over a huge question I have right now, and this has helped tremendously. It is a yes or no question. And I just heard "Which answer requires more Faith in ME"? And one answer requires no faith in HIM, the other requires an Enormous step of faith. 😂😂😂😂 And the enormous step in FAITH will bring glory to HIM. The other would not. Thank you!😂
God guides is with his watchful eye upon us. Psalm. 32:8. Thing about asking God questions is that you need to have the witness is the spirit when you get the answer. You can hear all kinds of things but If no peace or Spirit leading doesn’t work
This video is so on time. For the past couple of days, I've been considering asking God to just tell me whether or not he wants me to be married one day (but I was too afraid to go through with it because even though I will always follow God no matter what, I do very much want to be married) and I was also wondering a lot recently how some people can hear God tell them things so clearly. Thank you for this!
Trust in the LORD'S timing for it is perfect! remember that he is coming soon, stay in the right path and trust in JESUS CHRIST, with all your heart! GOD Bless you all, have a nice day.🤩😊😃🤩
HALLELUJAH!!! Praise God. I swear to you this day! I was just asking my pastor this very question about how are some ways God will answer to the big discussion I have planned. I asked what it would look like and here it is being explained. Lol crazy. GOD your so funny.
I’m praying on a house for me and my husband and son put I lead by the Holy Spirit to these scriptures that’s been talking about a house all three the scriptures is that a way of god saying yes to me .....
This video is right in time and very spot on! I saw this video as the second video suggestion but I I continued scrolling down and I said to myself uhm maybe I will watch this later. I saw a video about someone being able to raise her brother from death by singing a worship song then I did not realize that my youtube is in autoplay. Then this video played suddenly. Mark you can really hear from God! May God bless your ministry😊
I begged to hear God's voice since i was a kid. Now im in my 50s i finally heard His male voice but i got scared. Lol 😆. But now he speaks in my head without literally hearing His voice. But it can get confusing between my voice and God's voice. I wish to hear God's voice literally again.
To progress your illustration with the Lord's Prayer: obedience; then alludes to our welfare before dealing with our temptation. It's all very important, but sequentially, that says something doesn't it. On the subject of hearing from God: I've found that 'complicated' is not the only thing that is difficult, in life, it can also be so simple as to make it difficult.
1. God wants you to prepare your heart to listen and submit before you speak and request.
2. Prayerfully ask God a specific yes or no question that is clear and concise.
3. Prayerfully sit before the Lord, listening for a sense of direction from the Holy Spirit.
4. Prayerfully seek confirmation about what you sense God is saying by bringing both yeses and noes before Him.
5. Actively seek biblical confirmation that stems from a clear rendering of scripture.
God will answer you when you’re not afraid of the answer.
well said
Amen!
Amen
This is so true.
but I don't know why i am scared when Jesus wants to talk to me.
This video is just in the right time. God's time.
So glad it was timely!

You sound so real. I believe Jesus is with you. Jesus is coming soon.
So glad you enjoyed the video, all glory to God!
God loves you repent and trust in Him He’s coming soon be ready

lol! "Healthily creeped out" Awesome phrase :)

He’s beautiful... and He’s my best friend

Funny , my name is Claire. Lately only one who reads bible in my home. It’s like God wanted you to touch my heart.

Yes, the Holy Spirit is still with you. But there is something that needs your attention. Note, as God reveals this issue to you soon.
The Holy Spirit works through you so timely. In the midst of being mentally attacked it can be somewhat difficult to decipher God’s voice. Thanks for the video
Amen, it's not always easy but when we read the word it becomes easier :)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, thank you Jesus
Amen!
Never clicked so fast on a video! Waiting for His confirmation
So glad this was relevant for you!

My friend needs this message today. She's just know seeing that her limited perspective isn't God's priceless INFORMATION.. I told her to seek God
