Learning to Hear the Voice of the Lord : Volume 1: the House

God seeks real relationship. He is not a religion, He is not an idol... He is love.
As Christians, we need to learn how to hear and recognize His voice.
The Lord can do amazing, awesome things.. if we would just step out and listen.
Listening is not easy. It's normal to feel crazy at times, but it is so worth it.

Just as in demonstrated in the book of 1 Samuel, we need to be instructed how to recognize God's voice. Sometimes this instruction is from the Holy Spirit himself, however others of us need someone to come beside us and show us that the voice we have experienced all along may be the God of the universe communicate in to us. This can be through pictures, dreams, nature, songs and sometimes a voice. I am not sure that our traditional church structure does a good job at this. Revelation is given in our contemporary model through Pastors, daily devotions and even the Bible, however some of the greatest messages to us come from the Lord himself. This interaction is biblical, and not reserved for the religious elite or the trained. My book is a humble attempt to share my experiences of listening to the Lord over a few years, hoping to ignite or connect something inside of the reader. For those that already have a mature relationship with the spirit of the Lord, this book will seem basic and even uneventful. But for the countless people I interact with daily, this is revolutionary. This book is for the ones that are too embarrassed to ask their pastor, super faithful friends or anyone if God really talks. My argument is that God 'talks' to us ALL. We just don't always recognize Him
