Hey, do you guys know that the God who created the universe wants to talk with you, and not just once, but every day?

Today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, Rick Warren continues his life-changing series called Hearing the Voice of God,

where he reveals how you can tune into God's voice,

build on a real friendship with him, and discover his direction for your life loud and clear.

And now here's Rick with the final part of a message called How God Talks to You.

Now sometimes when you read the Bible and you go, I didn't get

anything out of that today. You don't have to. You don't have to get something out of the Bible

every time you read it. What you're doing is you're banking the truth in your mind.

You're feeling because your mind's filled with everything else you've seen, every billboard,

every commercial, every, you know, bad joke, every movie.

It's all in there.

You need to balance it with this, with the truth.

And then the Holy Spirit can bring it to mind in your mind and you're banking God's word.

Now, he gives you impressions.

Did you realize that every time you have a creative thought,

that thought is from God? Who is the creator? God. And the Bible says, you're most like God when you're creative. Why? Because God made you in his image. That's what makes you different from animals. Animals don't create. Animals don't create tools. Only human beings create tools. Why? We're made in God's image. And when you are being creative, you're creative in music, you're creative in art, you're creative in a business plan, you're creative with a meal, you're creative with a design. Guess what? God looks

down and goes, that's my boy. That's my girl. You are using the ability God gave you.

God made you in his image to be creative like the creator. And so those creative ideas in art,

in advertising, in every area area actually come from God.

And God goes, you're doing it.

You're being like me.

Now, I want to tell you, this thing about impressions from God, you don't just get impressions
