What's going on, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Bryce Crawford podcast. I'm Bryce and today by the title of the episode, we are talking about how to hear God's voice. You're going to hear me quoting scripture, bouncing around a bunch of scripture. But ultimately, when it comes to hearing God's voice, I believe that there are four

ways that God speaks to us and that we hear his voice. And we're going to dive into them today.

I'm super excited. Thank you guys for watching and listening to the episode. If you are here,

we need to

understand one thing. God's voice, number one, primarily is heard through the word of God.

If you're taking notes, the first way God speaks to us is through his word. The Psalmist David

writes that his word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. And in the epistles, we actually read that all scriptures, God breathe, profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, rebuke, all of these things. If we want to hear God's voice and hear what God has deemed best for our life, we need to pick this up. You know, a lot of times we say, well, God's not guiding me.

He's a good shepherd, but he's not guiding me, but your Bible's on your nightstand collecting dust. The Bible is going to be the number one way we hear God's voice. A lot of people say, well, I want to hear God tell me what his will for my life is. There's a famous quote that says, if you read scripture out loud, you can audibly hear God's will for your life.

That everything that we need, God is ready. There's a famous quote that says, if you read scripture out loud, you can audibly hear God's

will for your life. That everything that we need, God has written us a love letter, leather bound

to leave with us to show us. What does it like to be a good father? What's like to be a good friend?

How to love him better. How to handle anger. How to deal with lust. All of these things in this

leatherbound Bible,

a father's love letter to his children. The number one way you're going to hear God's voice

is through his word. Like imagine if you're sitting in the hospital and your father's on his

deathbed and your dad writes you a love letter before he leaves to teach you how to be a good

friend, good father, good husband, good mother, good

whatever it may be. That's what God's word is here for. We will find life in this thing,

this daily bread. Ephesian 6 would say, hey, this is a weapon against temptation, against sin,

against lies from the devil. This thing also guards your heart and it changes the way you think.

If you're trying to change the way you think and act, listen to God's voice in scripture. To change it, this thing is God breathed. The number one way we hear God's voices through this word, there is life in this thing. Hebrews 4 says that this thing is sharper than any self-help book than any double-edged sword than any weapon. And it will separate the way that seems right to you, the way that seems right to God. And if you want to walk in the will of God for your life, you need to read this thing. God's word. Second way, I believe God speaks to us. It's through people. God uses people time and time again. This is what everything has been from the Old Testament to the New. God would choose a particular prophet, the major and the mind of prophets, the Old Testament. God would choose a private like a Moses,

like Samuel, lay his spirit on them and speak to people, speak to the nation of Israel through these
