Hi, welcome to Havla's podcast. I'm Havala and today we're jumping smack dab in the middle of our series about the power and the purpose of hearing God's voice.

Now, we've been covering some topics around what do we do we do we're not hearing

God's voice and what do we do when we actually don't want to hear God's voice

but today we're going to tackle the topic of what's the real danger of not hearing his voice.

You don't really talk about that in the church.

We always have books on how to hear his voice and how to recognize it, but we never really

talk about the risk of actually not hearing our

creator speak and walking away from his voice and what it can do to our lives and how it can actually damage our purpose and our future and even

possibly take our life because of it.

So let's look into this today.

We're going to talk about why it's important to hear his voice and the danger.

Now you can think about different individuals in scripture that heard God, encountered God,

but then walked away from God, or had a season in their life where they didn't hear God.

I think about David not listening to God while he was hiding from Saul and here he had done these tremendous things.

I mean the Prophet had come looking for him. He had anointed him in front of his brothers. He had killed Goliath and now David even in the middle of this incredible story with God is hiding from God not hearing his voice he's

dreading he's in fear and he is living with the Philistines so I I guess I want to

like poke the religious part of us that says, oh, this is for the new believer.

Oh, this is for that Christian. This is for the young people. No, I wouldn't call David a young

believer. I wouldn't have called David an immature or somebody

who doesn't have the right heart. No, I would say that David, even in his

pursuit and his highs and his victories, was still vulnerable to checking out and disconnecting and leaving the voice of

God in the midst of his life.
