So You Think You Missed God?

Episode #25: So You Think You Missed God? 1. How to Get Back on Track * Acknowledge your sin, and repent. (1 John 1:9 – "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us.") * Repentance isn't about shame—it's about realigning with God's will. * Don't be drastic. * Avoid making radical decisions out of fear or guilt. * Example: Don't quit your job, leave your family, and move to the mountains for six months. * Family is first. (1 Timothy 5:8 – "If anyone does not provide for his family, he has denied the faith.") * Your first ministry is your home—God will not ask you to neglect it. 2. Spend Time in Prayer and Seek God's Direction * Prepare for prayer: * Have your Bible, a notepad, and a pen ready. * Expect to write down what God reveals to you. * Talk to your spouse about what you believe God is saying. * Your spouse is a key partner in discernment. (Ecclesiastes 4:9 – "Two are better than one.") 3. Unbelief is Removed Through Prayer and Fasting * Matthew 17:21 – "This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." * Fasting isn't just about not eating—it's about spiritual focus and discipline. * Consider a time of true fasting. * This is a time to set aside distractions and focus solely on hearing God. * Jesus' example of fasting: * He went to a secluded place (Luke 5:16). * He often went alone to pray (Matthew 14:23). * His fasting was intentional and focused. 4. Put Aside the Opinions of Others * After fasting, come together with your spouse to discuss what the Lord revealed. * If your spouse disagrees, don't argue—ask God to work on their heart. (Proverbs 21:1 – "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord.") * Also ask God to work on your heart—you may have misunderstood Him. * Do not get out of agreement with your spouse. * Unity in marriage is crucial for walking in God's will. (Matthew 18:19 – "If two of you agree on earth concerning anything, it will be done.") 5. Strengthen Your Ability to Hear God's Voice * Start testing your ability to hear God on small things. * Look for things to ask Him that are measurable but won't cause harm if you're wrong. * Ask God for guidance on practical matters. * Example: How to fix something, where to find something lost, or when to reach out to someone. * This builds confidence in recognizing His voice. (John 10:27 – "My sheep hear My voice.") Final Thoughts * If you feel like you've missed God, don't panic—simply realign. * Repent, pray, and seek His voice with humility. * Don't make drastic moves—God leads through peace, not fear. * Stay in unity with your spouse and ask God to confirm His direction. * Learn to hear God in small ways so you can trust Him in bigger ones.
