How do you actually hear God’s voice, see in the spirit, and know Him deeply?

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Matt Johnson is joined by Karyn Stuart and Amanda Atkinson for a rich conversation on what it means to move beyond formulas and into real relationship with God.

Using John 10:27 as a key foundation, this episode explores the difference between simply knowing that God speaks and actually learning to listen, linger, and recognise His voice. The conversation also touches on spiritual sight, prophetic maturity, distraction, and why God is looking for people who will dwell with Him, not just rush to get an answer.

This episode will help anyone who has ever asked:

• How do I hear God more clearly?
• Why do I struggle to recognise His voice?
• How do I grow in seeing in the spirit?
• What should I do when I feel like I’ve lost something spiritually?

In this episode, we cover:

• What John 10:27 really means
• The difference between instant sight and lingering with God
• Why relationship matters more than formulas
• How distraction can dull spiritual sensitivity
• What to do if you feel like you’ve lost spiritual sight
• How God restores what feels blocked or shut down
• Why maturity means asking God “why” before acting

Key takeaway

You do not need a perfect formula to hear God. You need real relationship. God wants sons and daughters who know His voice, listen deeply, and stay close enough to recognise Him.

Episode Summary

Louise Reid shares a life message that many believers need right now: carry the presence of God so people get a revelation of Jesus just by being near you. She explains that connection with God often begins with a simple shift, becoming aware that Jesus is already with you. From there, she encourages believers to remember moments where they felt close to God and to “chew” on those memories, because remembrance can reawaken hunger, faith, and expectation.

Ali McFarlane adds that Louise is “shiny,” meaning her life clearly shows time spent with Jesus. They also talk about how encounter ministry can help people experience Jesus personally. Louise describes Emmanuel-style prayer as “midwifing” an encounter where Jesus does the work, and the person walks away saying, “Jesus is amazing,” not “That counselor is amazing.”

A key thread in this conversation is joy. Louise highlights the kindness of God and the humor of God, reminding listeners that the gospel is good news. They also talk about how laughter helps people connect, and how a joyful atmosphere can make hard conversations safer and more fruitful. The episode closes with a simple invitation: stop striving, start noticing, and learn to enjoy God, because we were made for relationship with Him.

Quotes from the Episode:

• “Becoming aware of His presence changes everything.”
• “Remember a time you felt close to Jesus, then talk to Him about it again.”
• “The gospel is good news. Why are we so miserable?”
• “I love helping people encounter Jesus, then they leave saying, ‘Jesus is amazing.’”
