God is Speaking. Are You Listening?
On this episode of 'Worship Is My Weapon,' Rita shares how hearing God's voice is a lot like exercising a muscle - it may be difficult at first, but with practice it becomes second nature - and that it's not about being educated or theologically trained, but about having a personal relationship with Jesus. Let go of your insecurities and doubts, and believe that you are worthy of hearing from God. A simple exercise to start today: ask Jesus "Why do you love me?" and then listen for His response.SPECIAL OFFERS:This episode is sponsored by Jase Medical!
