God is talking to you.
It may not seem like it, but He is. And He has some things to share with you that will change your life. If you haven’t been hearing from Him, it’s time to figure out why (see these 6 Questions To Ask When You Can’t Hear God). One way to turn up the volume on God’s voice is to renew your mind to the fact that He wants to talk to you every day. When you increase your expectancy, you also increase your ability to hear Him.
To get you started, here are 18 powerful scriptures about hearing from God that will remind you of His goodness and the power that comes with hearing from Him. (All scriptures are from the ESV.)
