In the physical, O'level biology told us that our body must maintain a stable internal state for the proper functioning of the body. That is called homeostasis.
There is a form of it in the spiritual as well. The maintainace of a stable internal environment, our mind, is very vital If we want to hear God. If our bodies cannot function properly without a stable internal environment, our spirit man may not connect to God properly If there is disorderliness on the inside.
Severally, I have noticed that when my mind is bothered, I don't hear God clearly. It also affects my ability to prepare messages and be in tune with God in the place of prayer.
Internal noise is worse than external noise; it is possible to hear God in a noisy market only when the inside is peaceful. If the inside is not at peace, it is possible to find yourself talking to yourself with dramatic demonstrations. I believe you know what I mean.
Many believers are struggling to receive divine direction from God. Some have prayed and fasted but nothing is forthcoming. One of the causes of internal noise is emotional wounds.
Sometimes, people rehearse their hurts and play it like a video. They spend time thinking about the steps and stages of their emotional wound and what led to it. In the process of doing that, hearing God becomes almost impossible. Their spirit becomes dull.
You can maintain inner quietness if you can forgive even before you're offended.
Another thing that causes entropy in our minds is anxiety. When we are anxious, we cannot hear God. We shut the door of revelation when our minds are bothered with cares that we should roll over to God.
1 Peter 5:7 says, "Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you"( NLT).
How do you give all your worries to God? By taking it to God in prayer and refusing to think about them again.
Another thing that would help you to have a stable internal environment for you to connect to heaven is to maintain a thankful spirit. In thanksgiving, our hearts are prepared to receive from God.
Spend time listening to spirit-inspired music that would tenderize your heart. This has worked for me severally. While in worship, you can hear a "thus saith the Lord".
If you can get a good grip of your internal environment spiritually, you won't have a problem hearing God clearly.
