Hear the Whisper: How To Enter the Secret Place Where God Speaks

If you were with me in that quiet hour, you know the sound of a heart laid bare to the Lord. I'm the one who sat on the couch, coffee warm, the house dark, and chose to stay in the silence. In the message I shared on the livestream (the original video this post is drawn from), I encouraged us to stop relying on noise and production and begin relying on the hush where God speaks. Today I'm writing this as the same voice you know—repeating the invitation and pressing into the practical steps so you can experience what I experienced: the whispers of God's heart in places you never expected.

The promise: You will hear the whispers of His heart

Listen to this promise: “You will hear the whispers of his heart in the places you couldn't imagine.” That isn’t a suggestion or a maybe. That is a deliberate announcement of possibility and purpose. God is expanding how He speaks to those who are willing to sit in silence, to be undistracted, to get comfortable with the uncomfortable hush. When you learn the discipline of quiet, ordinary days become arenas where heaven leans in and whispers directly to you.

I want to be clear about the experience I described: I've heard God thunder like a lion. I've heard the pitter-patter of His feet. But most transformative for me recently has been learning to hear the soft whisper. A whisper requires us to strain our ears; it demands our attention. And when we strain to listen intently and with humility, we will hear words meant just for us—words that will prepare and position us for the next season.

Why God changes the way He speaks

There are seasons when God roars and seasons when He whispers. He will change His approach because familiarity breeds complacency. If we become comfortable with a single mode, our eyes shift off Him and onto the method. So He adjusts the way He communicates—sometimes to recalibrate our attention, sometimes for strategic spiritual reasons—and always to enlarge our capacity to carry His glory.

When the glory falls, everything that cannot contain it will be consumed. So God is not making things more difficult; He is enlarging the vessel. One of the ways He enlarges us is by teaching us to be still and hear the whispers of His heart in corners we would never have gone otherwise.

Three short truths about why He shifts His voice
To prevent us from taking Him for granted.
To deepen intimacy and expand capacity for glory.
To reposition us so we are ready for sudden, kingdom-sized shifts.
What the silence looked like for me—and what it can look like for you

This morning I sat in the dark, coffee in hand, and simply said to the Lord: whether you speak to me today or not, I honor and adore you. I remember saying, “I love you,” out loud—refusing to make my quiet time dependent on receiving. At one point He didn't answer because He was overwhelmed with the gratitude I poured out. Yes—He rejoices when we bless Him even when blessings aren’t perceived in return.

After long stretches of stillness, a phrase came gently: “Your seat at my table is waiting for you.” There it was—a clear, intimate invitation. That’s how whispers often arrive: a simple, tender directive that lands like a feather and then unfolds into a life-shaping reality.

How to position yourself to hear

If you want to hear Him, here are practical steps to prepare:

Choose seclusion intentionally. Turn off your phone. Leave the production gear in the car. Sit in the dark if you need to. Close the door and resist distraction.
Begin with adoration. Speak your heart. Tell Him you love Him and that you honor what He’s done in your life even before He answers.
Watch your thoughts. When your mind wanders, gently say, “Spirit, take this over,” and bring your focus back.
Listen for small impulses. God often speaks as a gentle nudge—an idea, a phrase, a felt assurance—not as a booming sermon inside your head.
Record what you hear. Keep a journal. Those whispers become seeds that germinate into testimony.

Positioning yourself is not passive. It is a posture: consecrated, expectant, and obedient. The Lord said that when you do this, He’ll whisper, and you’ll know the difference between His whisper and the enemy’s lies.

What God is doing now: enlargement, elevation, and a new chapter

We are entering a season where spiritual terrain is shifting. I heard words this week that were unmistakable: a table is prepared for you in the presence of your staunchest adversaries. This is a banquet invitation to those who have been tested and have passed. Your scars are not shame—they are medals of promotion. Your test will become a testimony.

God is declaring:

A new chapter is opening for you.
Promised changes and transformations will equip you for new tasks.
Everything aligning between heaven and earth is for your emergence.

That reality demands preparation. You don't want to be overwhelmed when sudden favor comes. Sit in the silence now so you can receive clearly when God moves swiftly.

Scriptural anchors: Psalm 23 and Proverbs 16

We read Psalm 23 together. It’s not an abstract poem; it is a manual for the secret place. “He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” That “still waters” place is the secret garden of intimacy. When you speak words of gratitude there—aloud—you are in effect planting prophetic seeds that align your day with kingdom reality.

From Proverbs 16 we learned the sober balance between human planning and divine orchestration: “Go ahead. Make all the plans you want. But it’s the Lord who will ultimately direct your steps.” Make plans, but trust God to steer them. When you yield to Him, your plans succeed because He works everything together for His purposes. So do your part—plan, train, prepare—but don’t fight God’s flow. Get into His slipstream and let the yoke be easy.

Communion: a weekly rehearsal for a glorious day

We took communion as a practice and a rehearsal. Jesus’ table was intimate fellowship, remembrance, and anticipation. When we partake of the bread and the cup, we say, “Take my life into You, Lord.” The cup is His life poured into ours, elevating us to the realm in which we will someday sit at His table in the full manifestation of glory. Weekly communion trains us for that arrival.

Overcoming accusations, slander, and spiritual attacks

Some of you have been hit with vile accusations—false prophets, slander, devilish lies. I’ve faced ugly words myself. You have a choice when the enemy speaks: receive it and be pulled into its current, or shut it down and declare God’s truth over your life. The Lord reminded us: He knows the plans He has for you—plans for good, not evil. If a thought or accusation contradicts that, it’s not from God. Command it to shut up and leave.

Remember: tests don’t disqualify you; they qualify you for promotion. When you refuse to engage the lies, your test becomes a testimony and your scars become your crown. God will vindicate you in the appointed season.

Practical responses to spiritual attack
Refuse to argue with the lie—rebuke it in the name of Jesus.
Speak God’s promises aloud over your life—declare Psalm 23, affirm your place at the table.
Keep your testimony transparent—use your scars to strengthen others.
Why Monday’s invitation—and what I asked you to do

This week I made a specific ask. Instead of coming to our usual meeting on Monday, I encouraged you to lock yourself in a room for an hour—turn off the lights—and sit with Him. No production, no phone, no performance. Give God one hour of undistracted silence, and He will meet you there. Practice this discipline consistently because it changes the way you hear, it aligns you with His plans, and it readies you for sudden, monumental encounters.

Final charge: position yourself and prepare

The Lord is hastening His word to perform in your situation. The set time for your emergence is here. But readiness matters. The invitation is simple: come and sit in silence with Him a while. Let the whisper land. Let the seed be planted. Allow God to enlarge you to carry what He’s about to pour out. Expect conversion, expect elevation, expect the consumption of anything that cannot carry His glory.

I don’t say these things to boast. I say them because I’ve been through the valley, I’ve been tested, and I’ve seen the Lord vindicate and elevate. The discipline of quiet is not a spiritual luxury—it’s a necessity for anyone who wants to be used in the coming outpouring. If you’ll do this, you will know the difference between random thought, fleshly impulse, and the whisper of His heart.

I close with this: stop living by noise. Let go of the need to be entertained into spirituality. Make a date with the hush, honor Him with your praise whether you feel like it or not, and get ready to see God move in ways that will make your head swim. Praise God—He’s preparing a table for you, and it’s time to take your seat.
