Part 1: How to know it’s God speaking: 5 practical ways to discern His voice from your own with Sandy Cooper | Ep 85

Part 1: Keys 1 and 2 for becoming a good listener of God's voice

Do you ever wonder how to hear God? If those thoughts are yours or His? Hearing from God is important as you’re pursuing His calling on your life because He is guiding you on which business to start, what to do next, etc. When you aren’t sure you can hear Him or hear Him clearly, then it creates a lot of confusion and doubt. 

Today, my guest Sandy Cooper is going to talk to us about the 5 keys to becoming a better listener so we can learn how to hear God for ourselves. 

This is a 2 part series. The first part is the first 2 keys and then we’ll finish up in Part 2 with the final 3. 

We’re going to be talking about: 

• Cultivating a relationship with Him
• Saturating our minds with Scripture
• Integrate periods of solitude
• Emulate a spirit of humility 
• Demonstrate a life of obedience 

Part 1 introduces the topic and gets us started with why this is important. We cover the first two keys there. In part 2, Sandy finishes them up and shares some practical tips for how to get started. 

I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.
