Why Can't I hear God?

Let me start by saying this is a hard question to answer because when answering questions like this, sometimes people can feel a hint of judgement or condemnation. Please let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, that my intention in writing this column is to help you come to know God personally and experience the abundant life I know He desires to give you.

We don’t hear God if we don’t know God. 1 Corinthians 2: 11,12,14 “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.  What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”
