In part’s one and two of this series I addressed removing obstacles and quieting your mind so that you can more readily hear God speaking in your life.  In this third part, using the analogy of putting together a puzzle and looking at part of Gideon’s life, I discussed getting specific with your prayers and the risks of “testing” God.  I also discuss the importance of believing that God already has the answer to your question, it just a matter of you finding it.  For related articles, visit my blog, www.thepracticaldisciple.blogspot.com .  (Approx. run time, 21 mins.)
