“One of the most important things about prayer is that we are transformed through the experience. We draw close to the heart of God. We hear the heartbeat of God, the things that God is after, the rhythm of God. We learn how God works.” Richard Foster

1. Go where you can hear it. HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD?

Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. Later Simon and the others went out to find him. Mark 1:35-36 (NLT)

2. Listen for it. HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD?

“Come and listen to my counsel. I’ll share my heart with you and make you wise. I called you so often, but you wouldn’t come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention.” Proverbs 1:23-24 (NLT)

3. Use tools that will help you hear. HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD?

4. Be prepared to wait. HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD?

Mount Carmel

Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the trench! And when all the people saw it, they fell face down on the ground and cried out, “The Lord—he is God! Yes, the Lord is God!” 1 Kings 18:38-39 (NLT)

And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain… but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19:11-12 (NLT)

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Psalm 37:7 (NLT)

5. When you hear it let it resonate within you. HOW DO I CONNECT TO THE HEARTBEAT OF GOD?

“I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people… You have patiently suffered for me without quitting. “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!” “I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people… You have patiently suffered for me without quitting. “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!” Revelation 2:2-4 (NLT)
