In every instance, God is trying to tell us something.
He is always trying to show us something.
To make something out of some thing.
To teach us, or explain something.
To make us realize something.

Lately, I have realized more and more that God only shows us what he needs us to see.
“This is saying that communication with God is Spirit to spirit, not brain to brain or mouth to ear, the way we communicate in the physical realm” (How To: Hear God’s Voice – Andrew Wommack Ministries …)
Learning to listen for God's will or his way in every situation takes time. We are told or taught to place other's before ourselves in order to receive true joy or satisfaction. By doing this, we place ourselves last. When we are no longer distracted by our own wants and desires, then we can truly embrace God's direction and guidance.
In order to fulfill God's way, it is necessary to be in the right state of mind. We have to put our anxieties and fears beside to truly hear him. We must set aside our ungodly wants, and we cannot be distracted by our own thoughts. Our intentions and motives need to be pure, in order for the end result to be clear. So, it’s up to us to listen for, trust and follow God's way. To do what our virtuous intuition is telling us.
In most situations, we are protecting ourselves, or looking out for what is best for us. Instead of benefiting others, we have been taught to, "do whatever it takes to get there". This mentality will not get us very far, because we automatically shut out God's will by avoiding his way.
If we all "had each other's backs", or looked out for what would benefit everyone, our world would be more peaceful. God wants this for us. He encourages us to live our life for others, instead of ourselves. We just have to listen.
Andrew Wommack described it perfectly for me in his article by saying,
“Radio and television stations transmit twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; but we only hear them when we turn the receiver on and tune it in. Failure to hear the signal doesn’t mean the station isn’t transmitting. Likewise, God is constantly transmitting His voice to His sheep, but few are turned on and tuned in. Most Christians are busy pleading with God in prayer to transmit when the problem is with their receivers.”
