Encounter - Hearing the Voice of God for Yourself

Trinity Community Church

In this enlightening message from our “Encounter” series, Pastor Tyler Lynde explores how we can discern God’s voice amidst the noise and distractions of our busy lives. Many of us long to hear God’s gentle whisper but struggle to tune into His guidance. Tyler delves into the unique ways God communicates with us—through scripture, dreams, visions, and even miraculous signs.
Drawing from the experiences of biblical figures like Elijah and Samuel, Tyler highlights the importance of developing a posture of readiness to hear God’s voice. Elijah’s encounter with God’s still, small voice and Samuel’s journey of discernment serve as powerful illustrations of divine communication. Tyler emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is an active guide, communicating God’s will and helping us navigate our spiritual journey.
He introduces practical tools to help us create dedicated space for spiritual reflection. By cultivating a habit of intentional listening using the “HEAR” approach, we can better discern the Holy Spirit’s voice amidst everyday distractions. Tyler encourages us to set aside regular moments for stillness, allowing us to lean into God’s quiet and still voice.
Tyler also addresses common hindrances that prevent us from hearing God clearly, such as unrepented sin, pride, busyness, and unresolved conflicts. He offers practical advice on overcoming these barriers, reminding us that removing obstacles and making time for God is essential for deepening our relationship with Him.
As you engage with this message, you’ll be invited to embrace intentional listening and discover the profound joy of responding to God’s call. Tyler reassures us of God’s enduring love and guidance, even when His voice seems distant. By fostering a deeper connection with the divine, we allow His unconditional love to guide us through life’s challenges and triumphs.
We invite you to watch this transformative exploration of hearing God’s voice for yourself. Join us in learning how to create space for divine communication and deepen your relationship with God.
