Getting Started with the Rhema NOW App
The Rhema NOW app is designed to facilitate you hearing from God directly for yourself to grow in an intimate relationship with Him, and address any issues and concerns you might be facing.
Now, let’s do a little walkthrough of how to use the Rhema NOW app to facilitate your conversations with God. You will want to make time and space to focus, so be sure you remove distractions and clear your head (silence your phone, go into a private place, etc.).
Each listening session (in the “Prayers” tab) begins with an opening prayer and some gentle music to allow you to enter into a place of peace in God, free from the chaos of the day. The purpose of this time is to settle in and let go of the cares of this world so your heart is ready to connect with God. We like to use headphones for a more immersive experience with fewer distractions.
This first setup segment is a perfect time to let go of any burdens you are carrying, release any unforgiveness you may be harboring, and invite the Holy Spirit to search the deepest places of your heart.
From there, we will lead in specific guided questions, and we invite you to ask them to God directly for yourself and then give Him space to talk to you. Hearing from God is simple. If you’re wondering how to hear his voice, here are a few key things to remember:
God speaks in many different ways–through His Word, the Bible, mental pictures, colors, visions, and very often a still, small voice that may sound a lot like your own thoughts.
How are you to be sure that it’s God’s voice and not yours? Test it out! His voice always brings with it a deep sense of peace, and your spirit will bear witness that God is talking to you. Also remember that God’s voice will always line up with the truth He has given us in the Scripture – He won’t ever go against His Word.
Hearing from God is as simple as asking and listening. Trust that in this environment you are GOING to hear from Him! God loves to speak to His children.
So what do you do when you hear Him? Thank Him! Write down or make note of what He has said to you. You are going to want to remember His words.
