Hearing God As A Worshipper

Don’t you have those kinds of friends and relatives who tell you amazing stories of their vision with the Lord Jesus or the dreams they had walking with Jesus or people who hear God’s voice and can see God in literary everything they walk in? Even the ones who see God in odd things, colors, incidences and they hear God speaking to them.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things. It is then asking the question is how do we hear God’s voice or train my ear to hear God’s voice because we always told God is always speaking we just not listening enough. How many have tried to listen and you heard nothing.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things.

This is a transcript of a recent interview with them on the subject of “What is worship?” What is worship? Chad : I would say that worship is what you give out or your heart. It’s your heart expression towards God and that expression is expressed through your lifestyle and basically your relationship with God. And of course we know that people tend to think that worship is just the music side of things, but that is just one of many expressions. So if I was to put it down to one thing I would say worship is your own heart expression towards God. Pete: I would second that and say worship is your lifestyle. Worship is a lifestyle that honours God, in one part, a
