Have you ever felt stuck in a place you weren’t meant to be, weighed down by situations that no longer serve you or align with God’s will? That’s where I found myself—trapped in a marriage that wasn’t ordained by God, overwhelmed by stress, and disconnected from His purpose for my life. But one powerful moment changed everything, and in this post, I’ll share my journey of hearing God, following His guidance, and stepping into the freedom He intended for me.
The Word That Changed Everything
It all began with a dream. In the dream, I stood before God, and His voice thundered in my ear:
"My daughter, I love you, but I don’t approve of this union."
Those words struck my heart. God revealed that I was in a marriage He hadn’t put together, and being in it was keeping me outside of His will. No wonder I felt stuck—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
God wasn’t silent about why my life wasn’t progressing. He wanted me to experience the fullness of His blessings, but I needed to step out of the situation holding me back. As soon as I started envisioning my life without the weight of that ungodly marriage, hope began to return. My job improved, and I felt a fresh determination to move forward.
The Power of Hearing God
This experience deepened my commitment to creating content about hearing God and studying the Bible. It’s through God’s revelation that we are freed from the prisons we often find ourselves in. But how do you hear God’s voice clearly? Here’s what I’ve learned:
Get to Know God Through Scripture
Reading the Bible isn’t just a ritual—it’s a way to understand who God is, how He speaks, and the kinds of things He says. Just like a child recognizes a parent’s voice, we begin to discern God’s voice as we familiarize ourselves with His Word.
Build Confidence in His Voice
When God speaks, the enemy often tries to sow doubt. By knowing what Scripture says, you can test what you hear and confidently say, “This does (or does not) align with God’s character.”
Eliminate Distractions
Stressors and distractions can cloud your ability to hear God. By clearing these from your life, you create space for Him to speak and lead you.
My Plan for Moving Forward
With renewed faith and inspiration, I knew it was time to take action. Here’s how I started:
Tackling Financial Stress
I identified my finances as a major hinderance. While finding a new job wasn’t an immediate option, I started freelancing to ease the financial burden. By increasing my income and relieving stress, I was his free to focus on prayer and hearing God’s guidance.
Leaving My Church
As I tuned into God’s voice, He led me to a powerful lesson from 1 Samuel 4: His glory had departed from the church I was attending. God asked, “If I’m no longer there, why are you still there?” I learned the importance of following the glory cloud—when God moves, we must move with Him.
A Lesson for Us All
How often do we stay in places where God’s presence has moved on? Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a church, we must be sensitive to His leading. Staying in those places robs us of the blessings tied to His purpose for our lives.
If this message resonates with you, take a moment to reflect:
What hinderances are keeping you from hearing God clearly?
Are you following where He is leading, or are you stuck in a place He’s left behind?
Your Turn to Break Free
This journey wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. God’s guidance brought me clarity, freedom, and hope for the future. Now, I share my story to encourage others to seek His voice and align their lives with His will.
