Why can’t we hear God’s voice and see what He is trying to show us? Have you ever been to a city like Denver, Colorado? You walk around downtown in the midst of all the tall buildings and then all of a sudden you realize you can’t see the magnificent mountains so close by. Why? The buildings are in the way, duh! You know the mountains are there, so therefore, the mountains are not the problem. Hearing God’s Voice Clearly!
It’s like that with the Lord. He is always near and very close by us, but like the buildings our idols, false doctrines, opinions, hurts, wounds, traditions and unbelief hinder not only our view of the truth, but also keep His voice and His truth from reaching our spiritual ears. The sound waves hit the obstacles and bounce back never reaching our ears. Whatever it is that we place higher than His truth, obscures our true view and diminishes our ability to hear correctly.
Remember those weird mirrors at the amusement parks. They distorted our view of ourselves either making us look too fat or too skinny. We need to take off the distorted lenses of the glasses, (the lies we have believed), and even the lies we believe about ourselves to see the real truth about how He sees us and to really see Who He is. Also, we have all heard distorted voices through audio effects. Sometimes we can’t make out the words and they sound like something else. He is our loving, heavenly Father and He so longs to pour His abundant love all over us and to hug on us when we let Him, but all these other things and experiences have given us a wrong view of Him. We won’t receive that which we can’t see and trust. If we don’t believe He loves us, we won’t let Him come near enough to touch us with His love.
Let’s pull down the things in our lives that we have exalted above His Name, His truth, so that we can truly walk in that which He has prepared for us. Don’t miss His best over some silly nonsense. Our true destiny is at stake. Would we sell our destiny over a single meal? Esau did! Idols are not as important as our emotions would like to have us think. Get a better view. See things as God sees them. Ask Him and be prepared to do some demolition. Freedom! Yes! Hearing God’s Voice Clearly!

Janiece and I travel and minister as doors open for us to go. We share His love to those who haven’t heard of their Father’s love for them and also minister in song. Please use our contact page to contact us for more info. I have written 3 books to help people get to know Him. They are: “Destiny Path Of Life: The Journey Begins,” “Sentenced To Death, Destined For Life – The Janiece Turner-Hartmann Story – Tell My People I Love Them!,” and “Islands In The Sea – The Day The King Walks In!” I also have recorded some of my music for encouragement. Some of these are on our site, YouTube in video, and available to purchase and download here. I have some artwork that we have for wallpapers and prints, and we have placed them on various products, (posters, shirts, mugs, steins, cups, shirts, mousepads, stickers, bumperstickers, etc.) at our Zazzle store online. If you need help or prayer, please write to us and let us know. The proceeds from all of our products help us to minister to those who need help.
Our main ministry site is ShaftOfLight.com, my products site and blog is DestinyPathOfLife.com, Janiece’s site, for her biography is SentencedToDeathDestinedForLife.com, our e-commerce site is BeneficialZone.com, and our product line is on our Zazzle store.
