Podcasts about God Speaks

Images shape what we love, what we fear, and what we believe. But how often do we stop to examine their power? In this archival address, Al Groves explores how God uses imagery throughout the Old Testament to reveal himself, communicate truth, and reach the hearts of his people. Moving from the familiar words of Psalm 23 to the images competing for our allegiance, Groves challenges us to bring our imaginations under the authority of Scripture.

Wednesday - God Speaks Through His Church, pt. 3 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Tuesday - God Speaks Through His Church, pt. 2 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

We live in a very loud culture. The sound of our day is filled with the voices of media, news, politics, music, movies, sports, social media, friends, teachers, spouses, and much more. We hear it all, but have we heard the voice of God? God doesn't have a speaking problem. We have a listening problem. He is speaking and it's critical to hear what He is saying.Main Points:1. I believe God is a speaking God. In fact, I know He is a speaking God. On many occasions, I have heard the voice of God. No, not in an audible voice, but in the quiet of my spirit. God has confirmed his voice many times. You can't convince me that God does not speak today.2. The struggle is not God speaking, I believe He is always speaking. The challenge is in listening. We struggle to get quiet before the Lord. We don't always make time for Him and sometimes we haven't been in the practice of listening for his voice.3. When someone speaks in a whisper, you have to get very close to hear. In fact, you have to put your ear near the person's mouth. We lean toward a whisper, and that's what God wants. The goal of hearing your heavenly Father's voice isn't just hearing his voice; it's intimacy with Him.Today's Scripture Verses:Revelation 2:7 - “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says…”John 10:27 - “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Monday - God Speaks Through His Church, pt. 1 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Does the condition of our heart affect the way we pray—and does God always listen? In this message from the When God Speaks series, Eric Gentry explores Zechariah 7 and God's concern not only with what we do, but why we do it. Through Zechariah's challenging words and the hope we find in Jesus, Eric examines the mystery of prayer, our motivations, and the danger of allowing our hearts to become hardened toward God and others. Listen and be encouraged to keep praying, keep listening, and invite God to search and shape your heart.

More broken than we know, more loved than we can comprehend. Welcome to the weekly sermon podcast of Grace Church Bellingham.

I have listened to several podcasters, preachers, and political pundits explain how Americans have become more tribal over the last few years. They have all pointed to social media as the culprit because it provides us with a sound board for our own thoughts. When social media connects people around something that is sinful, we grieve over their lostness. But social media can also point people towards the direction of Jesus and the Church. God designed His Church to be a place where people from every tribe and language could gather and discuss the wonders of God.” Not every tribal commitment is bad. God designed His Church to be a place where people “from every tribe and language” (Rev. 5:9) could gather and discuss the wonders of God. Imagine being at a family reunion where everyone’s favorite food is prepared, no one is tired from the preparation because everyone helped, and the conversation is lively since everyone wants to talk to everyone else. This might sound like a fairy tale or a dream, but this is what the Church can be, When we focus on listening to God’s voice, as we engage with His word, empowered by His Spirit; we can evaluate our circumstances in Christian community-God speaks through His Church. The post HOW GOD SPEAKS – God Speaks through His Church (YOU-Fall’26, Study 1, Session 5) appeared first on YOU.

God is speaking to many people and He will speak to you when you ask Him to AND you really want to hear. Today we will discuss the various ways He speaks to us and some of the reasons some don't hear from Him.

Thursday - God Speaks Through Circumstances, pt.4 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Some people call it God speaking the language of their heart, others call it a “God wink,” but both describe the same thing: God showing His love in ways only we could recognize.

Wednesday - God Speaks Through Circumstances, pt.3 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Tuesday - God Speaks Through Circumstances, pt.2 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Job is living between faith and suffering In the midst of suffering, believers must remember… 1. God's wisdom is beyond questioning Job 38:1-40:5  2. God's justice is beyond doubting Job 40:6-14 3. God's authority is beyond challenging Job 40:15-41:34 Job can't handle behemoth or leviathan If Job cannot handle creatures, he is no match for the creator God doesn't owe you an explanation. 3 Responses to suffering… 1. Dismiss it 2. Out work it  3. Surrender it  

What do you do when God calls you to something that feels bigger than your strength? In this message from the When God Speaks series, Eric Gentry explores Zechariah 4 and God's powerful promise to Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit." Through this remarkable vision, we're reminded that God doesn't simply remove every obstacle—He empowers His people to keep moving forward, one faithful step at a time. Listen and discover how the Holy Spirit provides the strength you need to face the mountains in your own life and finish what God has called you to do.

God Speaks to Jesus Followers Through the Holy Spirit's Inward Voice, and with the Spirit, He Gave His Personal Relationship MESSAGE SUMMARY: Isaiah tells us in Isaiah 30:21: "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.". We know, from the New Testament, that Jesus Followers are given the Holy Spirit to walk with them -- "a word behind you". Since the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, the way the Lord speaks to you is through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit will speak, and you will know that it is the Lord. In John 14:26, Jesus reminds us about His promise, to His followers, of the “Helper” (Holy Spirit): “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”. Additionally, in John 16-7, Jesus tells us that not only will the Holy Spirit be your “Helper”, the Holy Spirit will be your “Comforter”: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him {the Comforter} unto you.". For Jesus Followers, God speaks through the inward voice of the Holy Spirit who He gave to us along with a personal relationship with Him.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Hatred. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Love.  “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Ezekiel 22:30-31; Isaiah 30:21; John 14:23-27; John 16:7-13; Psalms 134:1-3. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. The Bible is the most widely distributed book-and also the least read. There are millions of professing believers who have not yet discovered the joy and spiritual benefits of digging deeply into the Word of God. It is an inexhaustible treasure trove of wisdom. From the opening chapters of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation, the God of the Bible is the God who speaks. And He uses His Word as a primary means to do so in our lives. So, if we are not seeking to hear God's voice through reading the Bible, we are missing out on some major growth in our Christian walk. Today is the day to begin growing in this area! Let's open God's Word and listen to what He has to say. And as we grow, let's always be mindful to share with others what God is doing in our lives. This can open the door to spiritual conversations where we can share the Good News of the Gospel. For more resources, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.

Monday - God Speaks Through Circumstances, pt.1 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

God does not need to raise His voice for you to hear Him. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would dwell in you, and Romans 8 places His leading within the life of every child of God. The inward witness, the inward voice and the voice of the Holy Spirit call for discernment that grows through practice. Learn to recognize the difference between a passing feeling and an inward knowing, test what you hear against the written Word, and bring your decisions before God with a clean conscience and the assurance of Christ within you.

As the father of four children, I challenge my children to consider their circumstances, I often allow a particular situation to play itself out to see where they are on the pathway to maturity, I am always surprised when one of them wants their siblings to share something and then they are unwilling to share with another sibling, I intervene when I think it is appropriate to remind them of the earlier circumstance and challenge them to consider how they felt. I am cautious about comparing my own fathering techniques to God’s but even Jesus compared the innate nature of human fathers to that of our heavenly Father (see Matthew 7:7-12). God the Father orchestrates the circumstances of our lives with a similar, but greater, purpose in mind.” Every good father wants to see how their children will respond to their situations in the hope of congratulating them because they have listened to the instruction they were given, I am cautious about comparing my own fathering techniques to God’s but even Jesus compared the innate nature of human fathers to that of our heavenly Father, God the Father orchestrates the circumstances of our lives with a similar, but greater, purpose in mind. He wants to give us opportunities to grow and implement what we have learned about His nature into our lives and communities, He is on our side and knows which circumstances will help us thrive. He always intervenes at the right time. The post HOW GOD SPEAKS – God Speaks through Circumstances (YOU-Fall’26, Study 1, Session 4) appeared first on YOU.

Who has time to wait on God anymore? Even as believers, many of us are so busy with work, our families, and trying to serve in the church, it can be hard to slow down and actually hear from Him. Ed Stetzer talks with Pastor Robby Gallaty about his book, Wait/Hear: Recapturing the Lost Art of Hearing God's Voice and how to find that stillness that can break through burnout and prove that God still speaks to those who are still enough to listen on Ed Stetzer Live.

Session: 5 Date of First Use: October 4, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through His Church  The Point: God communicates to us through other believers. Life Through a Biblical Lens: When you give your life to Jesus Christ, you don't just come to Christ; you become a part of His church. While each of us has a direct connection and relationship to God, He uses His church to help us grow in that relationship. We're taught, encouraged, and ministered to through other believers. It should come as no surprise, then, that God often uses other believers to help us know and follow His voice.    Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens: A key part of developing a biblical lens is an understanding of the CHURCH. Just as God's Spirit works in us and through us, He also works through other believers. God will use the body of Christ to help us see and affirm the plan God has for us. Session Passage: Ephesians 4:11-16,25-29 Connection to the Previous Sessions: While God often orchestrates our circumstances to put us in line with His will, we can also misinterpret those circumstances to fall in line with what we want. The Holy Spirit can work through other believers to affirm and/or caution us as we seek to understand God's voice.

Today we will explore the Liturgy of the Word: the readings, the Responsorial Psalm, the  Gospel, the homily, and the silence that helps the Word enter our hearts. We will also look  briefly at the Creed and the Universal Prayer, because God's Word always calls forth a  response.

In a world where we often seek clear, undeniable signs of God's presence, we're left wondering: does God still speak? This episode of the podcast explores the age-old question of how God communicates with us, and whether we're still able to hear his voice.The conversation delves into the stories of the Bible, where God's voice is loud and clear, from the dramatic interventions of the Old Testament to the quiet whispers of the New Testament. The hosts discuss the importance of seeking, talking, listening, and abiding in God's presence, and how these practices can help us discern his voice in our lives. They also touch on the idea that God's revelation is not just about dramatic events, but about the everyday moments and experiences that shape our understanding of him.As they explore the complexities of God's communication, the hosts share personal anecdotes and insights, drawing from their own experiences and the stories of others. They also discuss the importance of humility and discernment in understanding God's voice, and how we can avoid the pitfalls of claiming to speak for God without proper authority.In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts invite listeners to reflect on their own relationship with God and how they can cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and connection with him. Join them as they explore the mysteries of God's communication and discover the ways in which he still speaks to us today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tuesday - God Speaks Through His Holy Spirit, pt. 2 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

The devotional centers on the biblical mandate to love and welcome foreigners, drawing from Deuteronomy's instruction that God shows special care for the vulnerable—orphans, widows, and strangers—because His people were once foreigners in Egypt. It emphasizes that God is impartial, opposes bribery, and calls believers to mirror His justice and compassion by opening hearts and homes to those who feel alienated or displaced. The message underscores that hospitality, especially through shared meals, is a powerful expression of Christian love, reflecting Christ's identification with the marginalized. It challenges listeners to prayerfully discern and engage with strangers in their communities, recognizing that serving them is serving Christ Himself. The tone is pastoral and urgent, inviting practical, loving action rooted in theological truth and personal identity as sojourners.

In Amos chapter 6, God confronts Israel for a dangerous kind of spiritual complacency. The nation was prosperous, comfortable, and confident—but spiritually unprepared for what was coming. In this episode of God Has Spoken, we examine Amos' warning to those who were “at ease in Zion” and consider how comfort, prosperity, and false security can quietly cause us to stop listening to God.

Session: 4 Date of First Use: September 27, 2026 Title: God Speaks Through Circumstances  The Point: God uses circumstances to guide us in His will. Life Through a Biblical Lens: We've all had those “random” encounters that we look back on and realize how life-changing they were. Did we just happen to be in “the right place at the right time,” or was it God's way of helping us follow His plan. In the Book of Romans, Paul gave us insight into how we should view our circumstances in light of knowing and following God's voice.  Seeing the World Through a Biblical Lens: A key part of developing a biblical lens is an understanding of the nature and work of GOD and the HOLY SPIRIT. The circumstances and situations we find ourselves in are never an obstacle for God. In His power and sovereignty, God can work through those very circumstances to help us see His plans for us. Session Passage: Romans 8:26-35 Connection to the Previous Sessions: As the Holy Spirit helps us understand the Word of God and speaks to our hearts, He often confirms His will through the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Does God still speak through dreams? And how can Christians tell the difference between an ordinary dream, a prophetic dream, a warning from God — or something darker?On this episode of Into the Supernatural, Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley sit down with Paige Collins, author of The Awaken Dream Journal, for a fascinating conversation about Christian dream interpretation, prophetic dreams, hearing God's voice, the Holy Spirit, nightmares, spiritual warfare, and the biblical meaning of dreams.Paige shares how her own journey began with a powerful dream that caused her to wake up praying out loud and asking God for an interpretation. From there, she began studying dreams, biblical symbolism, Scripture, and how the Holy Spirit can guide believers in understanding what they experience while they sleep.Paige also explains why she believes Christians shouldn't abandon the subject of dreams simply because New Age spirituality has embraced dream interpretation. Instead, she argues believers should approach dreams through Scripture, prayer, discernment, and the Holy Spirit.Plus, Paige reveals the practical system behind The Awaken Dream Journal and how recording people, places, emotions, colors, numbers, symbols, and other details can help Christians prayerfully examine their dreams.If you've ever wondered whether God is speaking to you through your dreams, this conversation is for you.

How does God speak to us, and how do we learn to recognize when it is truly Him?In Episode 9 of the CWOWI Podcast, John and Brian conclude their discussion on the Trinity by looking at Jesus and exploring the many ways God communicates with His people.Throughout Scripture, we see God communicate through the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, angels, prophecy, visions, dreams, and prophetic imagery. In this episode, John and Brian discuss what a seer is, how prophecy works, the biblical role of angels, and how believers can learn to recognize God's voice.CONNECT WITH USWeb: https://churchwithoutwallsinternational.orgPodcast: https://cwowi.buzzsprout.comVimeo: https://vimeo.com/cwowiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cwowiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CWOWInternationalBooks: https://churchwithoutwallsinternational.org/product-category/books-and-audio-books/Translations: http://www.cwowi.eu

In this fourth message from the When God Speaks series, Eric Gentry explores Zechariah 2 and reveals God's breathtaking vision for a people without borders—a global family united in Christ. What began as a promise to Jerusalem ultimately points to the worldwide church, where people from every nation are invited into God's family through Jesus. Discover how God has been orchestrating history, moving nations, and fulfilling His promises to bring people from every tribe and language to Himself. Listen and be reminded that you are part of a much bigger story as God continues to build His global kingdom.

Many believers want to hear God but struggle to recognize His voice or distinguish His voice from the many others competing for their attention. If we only realized that God has been speaking to us all along, we did not know how to listen.In Part 4 of "Prayer – Drawing Near to God," Duane Sheriff teaches that prayer should be a dialog, not a monologue. Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and know Him. Learning to hear God begins with understanding how He speaks and training our spiritual ears to recognize His voice.God speaks into our lives in four primary ways: through His Word, His wisdom, His servants, and the Holy Spirit. Scripture gives direction, God's wisdom helps us apply truth to specific situations, godly relationships can speak into our lives, and the Holy Spirit leads through promptings, conviction, righteousness, joy, and peace.Hearing God is not about waiting for a booming audible voice. Instead, it is a whisper, close and intimate, because He is not far off. He is right here. As we grow in our relationship with Him and become still, we will learn the language of the Holy Spirit and recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Cathy Solomon leads an embodiment practice and discusses how God uses creation and its history to speak to us.
