When you need a word from the Lord but feel like you can’t hear Him, what do you do?

In this episode of the Jaime Luce Podcast, I spend time in 2 Kings chapter 3 looking at what it really means to hear God’s voice when emotions are loud and the pressure is high. Through the story of Elisha and three kings facing a desperate situation in the wilderness, we see why positioning ourselves in God’s presence matters more than rushing for an answer.

I talk about:

• Why emotional noise can block spiritual clarity
• What Elisha teaches us about waiting on God
• How worship, stillness, and patience prepare us to hear God clearly
• The difference between urgency and obedience
• Why slowing down is sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do

If you’ve been praying for direction and feel stuck or overwhelmed, this episode will help you understand how to quiet your soul and create space to hear what God is saying.

Take time to listen, reflect, and wait on the Lord with me as we learn how to hear His voice without fear.

In this episode, I walk you through 1 Kings 21 and the story of King Ahab, focusing on the moment that changed the outcome of his life. This passage shows us the difference between outward behavior that looks humble and a heart that is truly repentant, and how God responds when humility is real.

Together, we explore:

• The difference between pouting and true repentance
• Why God responds to humility more than sacrifice
• How genuine repentance can delay judgment and invite mercy
• What it actually means to humble yourself before the Lord
• How humility changes outcomes in our lives and relationships

I draw from Scripture throughout this teaching, including 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Micah, James, Philippians, and the Gospels, to show that humility is not weakness. It is obedience. It is posture. And it is the only way forward when God confronts our hearts.

This message is both a warning and an invitation. If you are facing correction, conviction, or a difficult season, I want to help you see the mercy God is eager to extend when we truly humble ourselves before Him.

This episode explores what I call the miracle before the miracle of Christmas.

Before Bethlehem.

Before the manger.

Before angels filled the sky.

God was already at work.

In this teaching from Luke chapter 1, we walk through the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth, the priesthood, and the grace of God that moves even when prayers feel unanswered and seasons feel barren.

This is a message for anyone who has:

- Remained faithful while waiting

- Served God without seeing change

- Wondered if time has passed them by

- Felt marked by past mistakes, family history, or reproach

You’ll see how God’s grace:

- Qualifies who we think are disqualified

- Answers prayers we’ve stopped believing for

- Removes shame and restores calling

- Prepares the way for His promises

This message is deeply rooted in Scripture, moving from Exodus to Luke, Galatians, 1 Peter, and Revelation, revealing how God establishes a royal priesthood and remains faithful across generations.

Whether you’re listening during the Christmas season or any time of year, this teaching is a reminder that God is faithful, even in the waiting.
