"When the circumstances of your life start to shift ... at least consider that it might be due to God. When you find yourself in a state of confusion or curiosity about the way things are going, go ahead and ask him if there's something he'd like to say to you."
Open your hands, open your heart, heighten your attentiveness to any small way he might want to communicate to you, and then agree in advance that you will comply with whatever he says.
Why not give it a shot? What's the downside?"
-The Power of a Whisper; Chapter 2, Communicating God, Zondervan, Copyright 2010 by Bill Hybels
I have come to believe that hearing the quiet whisper of the transcendent God is one of the most extraordinary privileges in all of life--and potentially the most transforming dynamic in the Christian faith.
When people hear from heaven, they are rarely the same again. When the sovereign God chooses to communicate with someone--whether eight, eighteen or eighty years old--that person's world is rocked."

Jesus said,
"My sheep hear my voice" - Jesus (John 10:27a)
Ask to hear.
