about hearing God

It's a process of growth in thanksgiving and in the Word according to Colossians 2:6-7 and Colossians 3:16-17 until between the thanksgiving, the time in the Word, and avoiding all offense then fear is cast out, and when the fear is gone, then hearing Him comes increasingly easier.  Obviously protecting one's conscience and Isaiah 58 and 2Timothy 2 say that you've got to avoid strife.  Worship and growth in the persuasion that God loves you are of paramount importance. So many people, I think, become fully persuaded about the Universal Restoration and they lose themselves as a tree in the forest and are more preoccupied with God's love for everyone else to where they lose sight of that Cross and Resurrection having been for themselves. Very likely this frustration you've expressed in wanting more of Him is what's reflected in St. Paul's cries to not fall short, wanting to press on further, to know Him and the power of His resurrection -- not just the power of His resurrection, but to know Him, etc.  It's a process that I don't even have totally figured out yet.  All I know is what Isaiah 58, Psalm 91, John 10, and other related passages say regarding the fact that He will speak to each of us. The fact that few experience the dimension -- consistently -- of His ongoing communications, to me at least, indicates "perhaps it does take all of that" that you hear some teach about how to hear from Him regularly.  But, likely has more to do with our own ears than regarding His compassions towards each of us that are ever-increasing every single day
