Many people can hear God and yet others claim they cannot hear God speaking to them. The main reason why someone cannot hear God is because they are not listening. If you want to hear God, the first thing you need to do is find a quiet place to be alone to pray, be still, and listen. If you are saved God hears your prayers, He even hears the prayers of people who are not saved. God hears your prayers and He answers them. The answer may not always be voiced to you in a audible voice but you will hear His voice in your thoughts, influencing you to go this way or that way, do this, don't do that. God often answers by showing you things. However, God can and will speak to you and if you are focusing on Him and listening for His voice-you will hear it. 
​Part of hearing is listening. If you want to hear God's voice you must learn how to listen for his answer. Often we pray to God but do not listen for His answer. Pray in a quiet place. Make your requests and then listen for His answer. 
How should we pray?
​Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil.4:6-7
Does God hear you?
Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Psa. 20:6
Who can hear God?
Everyone can hear God if they just be still and listen for His voice but some folks who are not saved may not realize that it is God. Followers of Christ who are saved can hear God's voice. 
​Jesus said in Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

• ​Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
• ​John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.​

Listen for His answer and you will hear Him
If you want to hear God's Voice you have to stop everything and listen for his answer. Take time to feel His awesome presence, feel the power in your heart. Let Him in and you will be surprised when your hear Him speaking to you.

• Be still, and know that I am God Psalm 46:10 

What does God's voice sound like?
The Lord's voice is powerful, full of majesty, sounds like the noise of many waters.

• The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. Psa. 29:4
• ​"When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings" Ezek. 1:24

What should you do if you hear God's voice?
 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:​ I Sam. 12:24
His Sheep Hear His Voice
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. John 10:4
​If you have believed, been saved, been baptized and follow Jesus Christ's example you will be able to hear His voice.

• But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. John 10:26
• My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
