Barriers to Hearing God (5 of 6)
Series: Hearing God
Joey Rodgers
Luke 10:38
For a few weeks, we've been in a series of lessons on the what I believe is the fundamental element of the Christian life - namely learning the essential discipline of hearing, distinguishing, and responding to the voice of God.
I entitled this series - Spring Training b/c of our basic and fundamental need to get this right. In baseball, Spring Training is the time set aside to return to the fundamentals and to hone one's skills for the regular season. And that's what I hope has been true for each of us through this study - that God is honing our listening skills so that we might know him, hear His voice, and respond to His leading in our lives.

In week 1 - we learned that God does indeed speak - and just as He has spoken to the patriarchs, prophets, and disciples in the O.T. and in the gospels - He still speaks today by His H.S. and through the Bible. If fact, I believe it is easier to hear God today maybe more than any time in the history of civilization - but we have to be listening!
In week 2 - we discussed the various voices in the world that are in competition w/ God's voice - the voice of Satan, the voice of the flesh, and the voice of the world.
In week 3 - we talked about WHY God speaks - (1) so we might know His PERSON; (2) so we might understand His PURPOSES; (3) so we might have clarity to His PLANS; and (4) so we might discover our PLACE in His will.
Then last week - we learned from Habakkuk how to tune in and hear God's voice by (1) getting alone/getting quiet; (2) by asking a few basic question to filter God's voice from all the other voices; and (3) by being prepared to respond whenever God's speaks.
This AM, I want to take a few minutes to speak about the primary barriers that prevent or hinder our ability to hear from God - unawareness - unbelief - unforgiveness - and the coup de gras - unconfessed ...
