I pray that God gives us a clear mind and silent heart that we may all hear his precious voice and do his will without complaint. Glory be to Jesus!
Amen!
Amen.
Amen. All Glory be to God! ❤️👏
He already did and gave us everything we needed for our walk before him here on earth to unlock it we need to spend more time with him ..
Amen
You got to seek Him. Persevere. God hears all, He is everywhere. Walk by faith, not by feelings and emotions.
Amen, spending time in his word is so important too :)
God is not everywhere, He separate Himself from us, He is in heaven, we have access to God through Lord Jesus Christ, He gave us Holy Spirit, God can be everywhere He wants, He can be everywhere. We don't know esence of The Spirit of God. Nobody can explain in One day we see Him how He is All in All. Satan never seen God, He seen Holiness of God and only wot God revealed to him. We will be first Creature who will see God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost. All in All perfect God. God is preparing us for this day. God wants us to Know Him and see Him but He is so Holy so we must be covered by His blood,the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Lamb of God. People search God in wrong places many churches spiritually are dead there is no God there. They made space for god of this world the devil. God is where He wants to be not where u want, if u let Him He will meet wid u, u can have Him He can have u, nobody can then take Him away from you once u have Him. God separate Himself from His creation. He is God. He kicked out Adam and Eva from Eden. That's separation. There is many verses in Bible, when they refused to go to promised land, then Lord was angry wid them, then after they said we go there and Moses was telling them Lord is not wid u, He is not here, they said we go there, Moses told them u will die if I go there bcoz God is not here wid u.
No you have to decieve yourself !
Jenn Kay please pray for me
I agree however if feelings and emotions aren't dealt with and proper time and I know this cuz Sandy Hook proves my point then it becomes an issue and there's a lot of people who are mentally unstable.
And that's one of the issues I'm having with the father right now.
Love Jesus with all your heart and ask for forgiveness
Amen, he is gracious
Preach, ❤️
Forgiveness? For what
And repent (quit sinning). Luke 13:3 “I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” How are you?
I like how you actually use a real bible to back up your point. Instead of using an iPad, smart phone, or a computer.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you are enjoying the content :)
Me too!! I keep being told to get with the times,but I like "actual" books...especially the Bible!!
Yeah, this way we know for sure that the scripture he is using is extreamly legit.
There are many more benefits to having a physical Bible than a digital one... Especially in this age of deception, digital Bibles are too easy to manipulate.
@@shellieperreault6262 I totally agree Sis!! I'd rather be called old school than deceptive ANY day!!
Sometimes God may be silent because we are so eager to talk
Instead of just listening to him
and having the heart to obey him
even if it is not what we want to hear. We must recognize his voice
In spirit and be willing to obey him in spirit. Rebellion against God is also a problem.
Hmm. This makes me think maybe I should ask God if there's anything He wants to tell me first instead of asking a slew of questions.
Amen, I think that is wise :)
Did it work? Did God respond? I’m so curious to know as I’m in the same boat, thank you.
@@MandyO eh not really. God has been super silent. Ive been fasting and praying..asking him to speak in any way possible bc I have a major issue I need help with. Idk maybe he did a friend shared something from Matt abt not worrying abt your life. Still I've been doing everything and got no real answer. It's a bit discouraging as God has been silent all my life and im 28. :/ ill keep trying though.
Sixteen. Candles. I totally hear you and feel too, that sometimes God feels silent. I know for me I try to hard. He likes to talk to us in a way we least expect. God loves breaking our constraints of what we think HE is. He does truly love us, and he does truly LOVE you. The testing is for US to know we can trust him, I know it’s weird but that is what I have gotten lately in prayer. Thank you for responding, my prayers are with you, I don’t know who you are but I don’t have too, the fact you are even looking for HIM makes me know, without a doubt you will find Him and He will speak to you! Read over John 15-17 Jesus speaks to His apostles right before he is arrested and in John 17 He prays over them, those 3 chapters in John have given me so much peace lately! They even did a movie that was basically ver batem called “The Gospel of John” that you can watch on TH-cam for free, It helps me a lot!
Sometimes, we THINK he is silent....when, it really is just that we need to SEEK Him in a DEEPER way. Like, fasting for more than a day or so. God, hears us and PROMISES to answer. #NotAManThatHeShouldLie #GRATEFUL
I agree with this wholeheartedly!!
God is speaking through you my friend! Thank you.
I'm so glad the Lord spoke to you :)
So true.For such a young man to dissect and convey Gods word in a manner that holds wisdom beyond his years proves God is using him the spread the word.
Yes man amen 🙏🏽🙌🏼
according to the bible he only speak to the children of Israel and no other nation joel 2/27 ye shall know that i'am in the midst of Israel and I'm the lord ur God and none else he's speaking to Israel never mention no other nation why would a God that is not ur God be speaking to u
He really is
Good timing 5 times in a row. It's like God is preparing me for something that I really desired for a while.
Keep submitting to God and what he says in his word and he will lead you towards his will for your life :)
@@Aaron.T2005 Submitting to God means making him the ruler and leader of your life and that you follow him, listen to him and obey him. Just like a child would submit to their parents but submit to God more.
@@Aaron.T2005 Has good come to you since then ?
(Refering to your first comment)
I’ve struggled with mental illness for as long as I can remember.... eating disorders, depression, anxiety, ptsd... I hate to sound like I doubt Him because He is my comfort but often I worry that my prayers are sent to voicemail. I try everyday to walk by faith not by sight. But it is incredibly difficult. Sometimes I feel like I am alone in the world, like existence is more burden than blessing but hopefully prayer gives me peace and hope. I just.. I just want to stop hurting
Proverbs 16:9
God please provide Alexis with your direction and protection
Hello! How u feeling now
I came across this comment and I feel the exact same way. 😔
@@shalana19 Still pushing, just taking it day by day. Thanks for asking❤️
He’s not listening. There’s other people in this world he loves more than you. People like you have to be perfect in his eyes whereas other people can fuckup as much as they want and he’ll give them infinite passes. He is not just. He is not fair. He has intentionally made it more difficult for you simply because he thinks it’s funny. He will not bless you because there’s others he’d rather help instead. Stand up for yourself. Go lift weights. Achieve something great by doing it yourself. Tell him to fuck off and then show him you can do things yourself because once you do that, you’ll start to notice sabotage in your life that seem almost like divine intervention. You know why? Because his plan for you was to keep you weak but seeing you stand up for yourself and giving him the finger scares him. You were born into this world hated by him. Make your life last here. Worry about eternal damnation later because whatever you do, he will never love you. Make your shit count now
I’ve experienced this, I was very sad, depressed, angry and resentful towards my husband poor choices in life. His choices was fall upon me, as I seek God everyday, I sobs in tears why He allows me to suffer of some else sins and mistakes? I ask Jesus to at least give me peace and comfort to get through the day. Jesus blessed me peace that surpasses all understanding. When you’re in bad circumstances, don’t focus on your situation, pray to God for peace and comfort, removed all the fear and worries in your heart. Cast all your cares into him , give it to him. God will manifest to you when you are calm and collected.
Please pray for me I am a new Christian and feel like God spoke to me to move from California to Las Vegas I have no family and friend on Christian friends or churches I don't have a job or anything in Las Vegas please pray for me
God is never silent,He spoke everything into existence,He speaks all the time you have to mature in Him in order to understand.
Amen
Amen!
Amen!
My sister is struggling with mental illness and is in a facility as we speak and trying to get better. Part of her struggle is that she thought she was bad and that is why she couldn’t reach God and God was only skirting her and blessing people around her. It was so sad to see her happy for those people and resigned to her fate with her life without God which eventually made her delusional. I always told her that God would never leave her especially in her time of need. I wish I would have seen this earlier but I also feel after watching another of your videos that this could be her season of suffering and transformation.
So glad I found this and I have learned a lot hopefully we can watch these together when she gets out.
Thanks for sharing right now I’m going through exactly what you described that your sister was going through.
I know exactly how your sister feels. Hope she's feeling better. Prayers for you both 🙏
Continued prayers for her salvation, obedience and knowledge of Jesus, Amen. For the Lord will deliver if we have faith and obey.
You know those times when its urgent and your trying so hard to get hold of someone and they wont answer. Feels like with GOD
I encourage you to get some quiet time and read the word of God. God speaks through his word :)
I agree with Mark^
I think it’s more that’s how God feels toward us! He’s waiting for us to completely submit our plans and desires to Him, not for Him to submit His wonderful will for us. I pray you found clarity! :)
A week ago I was an emotional wreck...has been for 10 months now . I cried and prayed and I just grabbed my bible and opened it . My right hand landed on a script that said "when the time is right . I will answer your prayers" . Ever since then I wondered if that was an answer to my questions from the Lord
Amen! Thank you for this awesome video! :) So glad Jesus is our high priest! :) He can empathize with our infirmities! :) Thank you for sharing why God seems silent, but He is always speaking to us! :) God bless you and your family!
Amen, Tony, God is good, God bless you too :)
May God give you more & more GRACE!
Amen :)
I believe God just spoke to me through your video. I've been seeking the Lord's direction for this time in my life but I've been expecting Him to speak in ways He has done before. Thank you for your obedience to the Holy Spirit. Have a bless day 🙏🏾
My pleasure! I'm so glad this was helpful to you :)
It's amazing how this video relates to my life right now. I asked God to know if a guy I like is the one, and He hasn't answered me. Then, I asked him something related to my teaching career. He answered in less than 3 days. Although I was scared, I felt a strong peace about His response. This helps me realize what He wants me to focus in this season.
Amen, I'm so glad this was helpful and timely for you!
It's a blessing to know a woman of the most high
This was for me😊I get caught up and this is how He reminds me to put down life and get closer to Him. Much love n God bless🤗🙏🌹💖
Amen, God is our ultimate source of joy. Without him we are lost
God I am sorry for all my mistake. Please give me a wife, a great partner Amen.
Read your Bible every day so God will develop you into the man he wants you to be
Hi brother, yes , your presentation was very helpful to me. I appreciate your good job in lifting up our spirit. May God continue to bless you in Jesus name Amen.
Thank you and God bless you too :)
In my relationship with Jesus I have not been through one day that He has not spoken to me...I am not special or any different than a normal person but it was not over night I would say thing I need neon signs Lord ...Then all of a sudden I began to hear a still small voice ...I have gotten to know His voice and I believe that it was because Moses went and talked with God face to face like friends .....The Holyspirit will give you answers you don't want to hear .....and it will sometimes hurt but His Word is worth it all ...It's life
Amen sister. I want to learn how to hear God's voice too. I believe he audibly spoke to me once before but I was a child so I didn't really understand but now-a-days He would speak to me through dreams and I want to learn how to hear his voice. Can you help me please?
*all these tips/points are SPOT ON!! They for sure convicted me, I know my outside world is too loud sometimes, and also I can have "selective hearing" when I don't like what He may be telling me! Working on that for sure, through His help. God bless you!*
Amen. I needed this video! I know that my world is too loud to hear God. Thanks for this video.
I'm so glad the Lord directed you through this video :)
Lately i just learn to be silent whenever i got panic so that i could pray and hear He is speaking to me through Holy Spirit.
Thanks for sharing this :)
@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger you are welcome. Jesus bless your ministry.
God really answered my prayers through this video. He is so good , I have to keep pushing no matter what
💯
Wow talk about the timing of seeing this, can't sleep and my mind is going.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share with us.
My pleasure Kay :)
God is speaking through you my friend! Thank you.👍👍
according to the bible the most high only speak to and through Israelites psalm 147 /19/20 he show his words to Jacob and his statutes and judgments to Israel for he has not dealt with any other nation and for his judgments they have not known them according to the bible not man scripture say he show his words statutes and judgments to Israel never mention no other nation let's continue for he has not dealt with any nation and for his judgments they have not known them according to the bible the most high wouldn't be speaking through him because according to the bible he never dealt with any other nation joel 2/27 and ye shall know that i'am in the midst of Israel and I'm the lord ur God and none else according to the bible the most high is telling Israel I'm your God and none else so why would a God that is not ur God be talking to you this isn't about hate its about the truth according to the bible
This was the best explanation I ever heard towards this question.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
You like bullshit then ?
Dude I really like you. You have such a peaceful way about you that makes you so easy to listen to. You deliver Gods word so wonderfully, it's always a pleasure to listen and recieve. Thank you father for this humble servant of yours. Bless you always.
Thank you for your words of encouragement :) I'm so glad you find the content helpful :)
If you like creepy guys ok maybe you have a point !
Agreed
Open my eyes and ears to your truth Lord.
I had an operation on my eyes and although this is is physical, I pray that God will increase my sight in the spiritual
Goodness!! This information is OFFICIAL!!
My spirit accepted this as TRUTH!!
I am trUly grateful for you sharing your translation of this topic. It was as though I was struck in the neck and sternum with truth. Thank you and God Almighty continue to bless your path and walk with God as you serve Him [all in the name of Jesus]..Amen!
I like Number 3 Because I'm always worried about someone else's walk with The Lord. I always say to myself "how come he doesn't do this or do that." Thank you for putting me straight. I must be concerned with my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ not someone else's. May God bless you and your family. Amen.
This has cleared up alot. It seems like I'm guilty of all 3!!🤔 I find myself recently that when I do find silence, my mind goes over all the things I want, need, and worry about.😵 When I can finally focus on God, I just cry, 😭literally to him. So I don't know if I accomplished anything. 🤷🏿♀️
Is there anyone who can pray that I will receive the holy spirit from god 😥😰😭😭
Johan Adam Simply Ask Jesus for His Holy Spirit to teach you and to guide you into all Biblical truth ..He delights in you... Matthew 7:7 KJV ..The Word tells us..the Holy Spirit given to all who OBEY Him
1 John 1:9 KJV 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I pray in the name of the Holy Spirit that Johan Adam receives the Holy Spirit immediately after fighting for it through prayer . Amen
When I fasted he used scripture for the message he had for me . It’s amazing how he walks with us . When I fasted just to be closer to Jesus and the Lord it was be on words how it felt so
as I was saying it was so awesome, the Lord does work in strange and mysterious ways I love him oh and he let me know he is not mad at me through you thanks for serving our Lord to help his people ,praises to father God almighty in Jesus name amen
God is good!
This was a blessing to be and I really believe God put your channel and this video in my path today! Thank you, I need to listen to this again! 🙂
My pleasure! I'm so glad the Lord directed you to this content and it was helpful :)

Praise Be the Lord thy God♥️🙏...Thank you brother✝️😁...We are never denied by God, we're redirected by God to a much greater things to come in our lives✝️♥️
What a blessing, Mark!!
Thank you for all you do for Jesus.
I am in a season of learning to draw closer to the Lord and I feel His voice clearer than ever. This video further shows me how to keep it going!
It's incredible how the Word is sufficient for all things!! The examples from Scripture are so vivid for the three points you make.
May the Lord help His people to be humble, expectant and diligent in their pursuit of fruitful communication with Him. And brother Mark, may your love abound yet more and more in knowledge and all judgment unto the glory and praise of God!🙏🏼
Amen 🙏🏻 what a great video. God bless you for always sharing the truth!!!!!
My pleasure! God bless!
Praise be to God ,,Right message for me at the right time Amen..

@@ApplyGodsWordcomMarkBallenger Thank you and Praise God :)
Thank you Mark. This is very timely
My pleasure! I'm so glad it was on time for you :)
Wonderful as ALWAYS Mark! Your biblical perspectives never fail to bless. I know when I click on your videos the Word is gonna be right. Thank You. This helped me. Keep up all the Great work!
I'm glad you enjoy this content and helps you dive into the word of God! God bless :)
I’ve had times when God was silent, and those situations were very harmful. I have a hard time trusting God because I’m afraid He will leave me twisting in the wind again. If God wasn’t being silent in those times, how can I know what God was saying to me?
ALLL WE HAVE IS THE WORD OF GOD.....aw mann! sooo good...people dont realize how profound this is............
Thank you very much Sir
This actually help me more about how I should listen to God more for me to know what to focus first.🙂
Amen!
This is the message I needed to hear. Thank u so much!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
As always...your video often speak about current situation that i am in. 😢❤ Thank you for this video! God bless you.
I'm so glad the Lord used this to bless you :)
Thank you so much for this 🥰
My pleasure!
This is awesome! I've felt like God has left me recently but talking to my Mother she told me the same thing you did. She told me to focus on myself because the more I'm focused on everyone else, I miss what He's wanting to do with ME.
Seek the Lord with all your heart and read the word of God every day and God will reveal his will for you :)
Thank you brother. This words are God-sent. God bless you
My pleasure!
Bless you you’re an amazing person and human being and that’s what god want Thanks for inspiration ! Best of luck Amen
James Adam Luck is something you need to remove from your tongue
There is no luck ..that is of the World...Read James 1:17 Everything is from God..no luck about it ..only by grace and His BLESSINGS
Thank you Mark, God pour His Blessings on you today
Thank you and may the Lord bless you as well!
Even hearing this teaching and reading the beautiful comforting words and the Spirit confirming that yup, I'm talking to you Joshua. Makes me joyful and giggly. Love you brothers and sisters.
Also the Spirit is moving in me, telling me that what this man is saying is truth and by extension God talking to you now (you reading this) Even coming here is God trying to move your heart to hear that he's talking with you and wanting you to know that he is.
Father is so amazing.
Amen
Mighty good word Sir. Glory to God!
Keep letting God use you Marc...Thanks and God Bless you Bro
Yea, BRO.
These reasons are true. I’m in a situation right now where I feel like He’s really Silene. But these reasons make a lot of sense to me. So thank you Mark
Wow. Thank u Jesus. True explanation. You are lifting up many people.
God Bless you brother Mark, your videos always appear at the best times.
Love listening to you!!! ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoy the content! God bless :)
This advice instantly took. Thank you and may God bless you
I'm so glad!
Thank u Lord for this lovely word
All glory to God!
So good! Makes perfect sense. Thank-you Mark.
Wow this is so clear, helpful and full of wonderful examples from life and the Bible. Thank you so much!
Most needed this message... Thank you 🙏
My pleasure :)
Thank you for all your great videos
The information within has been a great go to tool
Keep up the good work and God bless you
Thanks Matt! I'm so glad the content has been helpful!
I wish you were born earlier and was doing this ministery when I just became a Christian. I'm learning so much from these videos about things I've had trouble with when I was starting out. Better late than never though! Thank you for posting them!
Glory be to Jesus! Thank you brother for such a helpful word!!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I thought all this time that God nvr come to look at my troubles it's because he's not there. Bt i was thinking of what will i do to get him on my side. Bt 2day I've learned a lot from this video.i will listen to God & following him leading the way out
Thanks for your channel! It’s very helpful in restarting my walk with Christ. Could you do some videos that are less bulleted list types and more like full messages? Your extremely talented in breaking down the word! Love from Texas
You may enjoy my website. I have deeper/longer content there. Here's the sermon category: applygodsword.com/category/sermons/
Once again your words have been of great value, and have opened my eyes, to Gods plan and will for me, on point 2 it was as you were speaking to me. Thnk you very much for your video and most of all God for using you in this way. May out Lord keep blessing you and using you to heló us in following Gods plan.
God bless!
Such an informative/insightful video. Very helpful, especially the selective hearing and expectations of how we want God to speak/communicate with us. YEP I feel I be watching and listening to this video a few times until it sinks in and hits home...so to speak As I certainly struggle in some of the aspects talked about here.
I'm so glad it was helpful to you!
Thank you for the affirmations, God bless you
JESUS, SAYS ""LOVE ONE ANOTHER , CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER , CHERISH ONE ANOTHER...💖🙏
Good stuff! Makes sense.Thank you. God Bless.
I just felt like giving up than this pops up???u are speaking to me brother
Hear ya! Thanks 😄
My pleasure!
This is very helpful! and now I believe I've figured out what happened to me that one time. Then when I left that relationship I felt like God began to talk to me more again and was no longer silent Because like you explained, I was no longer focused on what he didn't want me to be focused on and be more focused on him to lead the way. And to be honest now I see I was doing so much to steer what I was going through in that relationship that you could almost say I forgot about God to a certain extent and I never wanted that to happen. But I'm no longer there and I went no contact with her for other reasons but once God started talking to me again lol I felt that giving the situation over to him and her over to him was the right move and why he was no longer silent. I feel now that I've given up alot and stayed faithful I'm starting to feel he's bringing her back to me but I'm not sure if it's just a test to see if I'd jump on it immediately or deny her coming back and just stay alone for now?... But I see why he did it, there are good things coming that I know now I wouldn't been able to do or start at all if I didn't put an end to that relationship like he told me to.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
ApplyGodsWord.com/Mark Ballenger I’ll admit I have sinned a lot and I feel bad for it but I know that God is very forgiving and will forgive anyone if we let him into our hearts.
Thank you Mark,God bless you.
My pleasure Terry, and may the Lord bless you too!
I will for everyone everyday!
Thankyou for these videos it’s helping me understanding what’s going on in my head god bless you sir
I'm so glad the content has been helpful! God bless you too!
Another great teaching from the scriptures, Mark. Thank you! Do you have a teaching called "when we should put a situation or problem in God's hands and how we should go about it"? I think sometimes we get confused about what is God's responsibility vs what is our responsibility. Sometimes it may be totally wrong to put it in God's hands, for instance cleaning your house or paying your bills. Of course those are our responsibilities. But there tends to be a gray area in other more complicated areas of our lives.
Sometimes He is silent to prove whether we will put what we have learnt into practice, as with King Hezekiah.
2 Chron 32:31 "Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart."
Love this channel
Thank you for sharing 😍 👍
My pleasure!
This is What I need
Thank you, Simon Cowell. 😉 All jokes aside, I need some guidance "and a job" like last month. Thanks to all who pray.
Exactly how I'm feeling! I feel ignored!!!!
Me too
