Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques

Confession of Faith:
Start by confessing that you can hear the voice of God. This positive affirmation helps to align your mindset with the truth of your spiritual identity.
Spend Time with God:
Prioritize quality time with God through various practices such as:
- Prayer (including praying in tongues)
- Reading scripture
- Worship and singing
- Quiet reflection in nature or solitude
Learn God's Character:
Understand what God says and does not say by studying the Bible, particularly the Gospels and Paul's Epistles. This knowledge helps discern His voice from other influences.
Cut Out Distractions:
Reduce distractions in your life to create space for hearing God. This may include:
- Fasting (from food or other distractions like electronics)
- Intentional quiet time without media or interruptions
Expect to Hear:
Cultivate an expectation that God will speak to you. Approach your time with God as an opportunity to receive insights and guidance.
Be Obedient:
Act on what you hear from God. Obedience softens your heart and makes it easier to hear His voice in the future.
Don't Limit God:
Keep an open mind about how God can communicate and what He can do in your life. Avoid narrowing your expectations to only a few possibilities.

Fasting: Used as a tool to deny physical senses and focus on spiritual matters, Fasting can help cut out distractions and clarify one’s ability to hear God.
Mindfulness: Engage in practices that help you tune into God’s presence throughout your daily life, not just during designated quiet times.
