TLDR;
This video provides three key principles for hearing God's voice more clearly, particularly in the context of business and life decisions. It emphasizes shifting from self-centered prayers to seeking God's kingdom first, understanding the Holy Spirit's role in guiding us to truth, and engaging in prayer that aligns with God's desires and protocols.
- Shift prayer focus from personal needs to God's kingdom and righteousness.
- Recognize the Holy Spirit as the guide to truth and align with His ministry.
- Engage in prayer that aligns with God's desires, reflecting reverence and interest in His glory.
Don't Pray Like a Pagan [0:44]
The first point is to stop praying for personal gains and desires, even if they are disguised as serving a greater good. Instead, prioritize seeking God's kingdom in all aspects of life. This involves aligning one's schedule, language, and overall posture with kingdom principles. True contentment and abundance are found in Jesus, even in the absence of material wealth or business success. By loving not your life unto death, you align with God's purposes, making Satan fearful and opening yourself to hearing God's voice clearly. Shift your prayer orientation to reflect "Your kingdom come, Your will be done."
Kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit [2:59]
The kingdom of God is not about material needs but about righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. To hear God's voice, understand the Holy Spirit's ministry, rest from dead works, and forsake striving in your own strength. The Holy Spirit guides you into all truth and reveals God's heart, goals, passions, and interests. Repent from earthly pressures and relying on your own resources, and instead, honor the great King. Align with the kingdom by being a Holy Spirit believer and follower, dwelling and fellowshipping with Him, and not grieving Him.
Pray Like Jesus [6:49]
Engage in prayer that aligns with the way Jesus teaches, not like the pagans. The ancient Hebrew word "palal" illustrates this, representing the meeting of the petitioner's mouth with the king's scepter. Meditate on God's word and desires, and come into His courts with reverence, showing interest in His glory. When you declare something of His desire and greatness, the King is required to prove it. By aligning with the interests and desires of the great King, your mouth meets the scepter, and you participate in a powerful, regal conversation with Jesus. He will prove His word and make good on His protocol, allowing you to commune with Him and hear His voice loudly.
