Have you ever found yourself wishing you could hear God’s voice more clearly?

In a world buzzing with noise—notifications, opinions, and endless distractions—it can feel like His guidance is drowned out. But what if the problem isn’t that God isn’t speaking… but that we aren’t tuned in?

In Creation Cries, Bishop Steven Williams opens our eyes to a profound truth: God is always speaking. The question is—are we listening?

This blog explores one of the most transformative themes from Creation Cries: Hearing God’s Voice and becoming what Bishop Williams calls a Voice Activated Word Believer (VAWB).

If you’re ready to sharpen your spiritual hearing and start moving in divine direction, keep reading. This isn’t just about listening—it’s about activating.

Why Can’t I Hear God?

Let’s be honest—how many of us have asked this question at some point? “God, why can’t I hear You? Are You even speaking to me?” If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. In Creation Cries, Bishop Williams accepts this struggle but quickly shifts the focus from why we can’t hear God to how we can listen to Him more clearly.

He reminds us that God is always speaking—through His Word, the Holy Spirit, and even the circumstances of our lives. The problem isn’t that God is silent; we’re often too distracted or busy to listen. Bishop Williams puts it this way:

Ouch. That hits home, doesn’t it?

We’ll trust a robotic voice on our phones to get us to a new restaurant, but when it comes to trusting God’s voice for life’s big decisions, we freeze up. Why is that? Bishop Williams suggests we’ve forgotten to be “Voice Activated Word Believers” (VAWB).

What is a Voice Activated Word Believer (VAWB)?

This is one of the most fascinating concepts in Creation Cries.

A Voice Activated Word Believer is activated by the Word of God. In other words, when God speaks, they don’t just hear it—they also respond.

Bishop Williams explains that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, but it’s not enough just to listen to the Word; we have to act on it.

Think of it like this: If you’re driving and your GPS says, “Turn left in 500 feet,” but you ignore it and keep going straight, you’ll end up lost. The same is true in our spiritual lives. God constantly gives us direction, but if we don’t act on it, we’ll miss out on His best for us.

How to Tune Into God’s Voice

So, how do we become VAWBs? Bishop Williams shares some practical tips:

Spend Time in the Word

The more you immerse yourself in Scripture, the more familiar you become with God’s voice. It’s like tuning your radio to the right frequency—you’ll start to recognize His voice above all the noise.

Pray with Expectation

When you pray, don’t just talk—listen. Expect God to speak to you through Scripture, a still small voice, or even through other people.

Obey Promptly

When God gives you direction, don’t hesitate. Act on it immediately, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. Obedience is key to hearing God more clearly.

Trust the Holy Spirit’s Nudge

That “gut feeling” aligned with Scripture is often God’s GPS guiding you. Trust it.

The Holy Spirit: Your Spiritual GPS

One of the most relatable analogies in Creation Cries is Bishop Williams’ comparison of the Holy Spirit to a GPS. Just like a GPS guides you to your destination, the Holy Spirit guides you through life.

And here’s the best part—God’s GPS never loses signal, never gets confused, and never leads you astray.

Isn’t that comforting? No matter where you are or what you’re going through, the Holy Spirit is there to guide you.

But just like a GPS, you have to be willing to follow the directions. Bishop Williams emphasizes that hearing God’s voice requires faith and action. You can’t just sit back and wait for a booming voice from heaven; you must actively seek Him and be ready to move when He speaks.

Practical Steps to Hearing God’s Voice

Okay, let’s get practical. How can you start hearing God’s voice more clearly daily? Here are some actionable steps inspired by Creation Cries:

Create Quiet Spaces

In a world full of noise, finding moments of silence is crucial!

Bishop Williams encourages readers to carve out time daily to simply be still and listen. It could be during your morning coffee, lunch break, or before bed. The key is creating a space where you can tune out the distractions and into God.

Journal Your Prayers

Sometimes, God’s voice comes in the form of thoughts or impressions. Keeping a prayer journal can help you capture and reflect on those moments later. Write down your prayer, and then listen for God’s response. You might be surprised at how clearly He speaks when you take the time to write it down.

Test What You Hear

Not every thought or impression is from God! Bishop Williams reminds us to test what we hear against Scripture. If it aligns with God’s Word, it’s likely from Him. If it doesn’t, it’s probably not.

This is why spending time in the Word is so important—it helps you discern God’s voice from your own thoughts or the enemy’s lies.

Surround Yourself with The Godly Community

Sometimes, God speaks through other people!

Bishop Williams emphasizes the importance of being connected to a community of believers who can encourage, pray, and speak truth into your life. Don’t try to navigate your spiritual journey alone—God often uses others to confirm what He’s talking to you.

Are You Ready to Hear and Activate?

Creation Cries doesn’t just teach you how to hear God’s voice—it challenges you to become a Voice Activated Word Believer.

It’s about stepping into a life where your faith moves mountains, your words carry weight, and your heart is always tuned to God’s divine frequency.

So ask yourself:

• Are you ready to stop guessing and start hearing?
• Will you speak life into every situation?

If you said yes, then Creation Cries is your roadmap.
