Can you hear God talking to you?

There are many ways that God speaks to us. First, there is the audible voice. For the sensitive heart, he almost never needs to use this because the Holy Spirit inside gives the message. Sometimes when we are in great anguish or great danger he speaks audibly since this may be the only way to get through the pain and external noise and get our attention.

Mostly he uses the internal voice. The Holy Spirit communes with your spirit within you and as long as you stay close to God and your own spirit is soft toward him, you will hear him speak to you in this way. The more that you ask for and listen for his voice, the more you will learn to recognize when he is speaking to you in your thoughts. There will be times in everyone’s life when there are so many distractions around that you can’t centre in on his still, small voice. That’s why it is important to take time to get alone and quiet with God.

God also sometimes uses other people who are sensitive to his leading to speak to you. The important thing is to rely on God, not on your own understanding. God is happy to lead us and guide us into what is is best for us.

Remember that God wants to speak to us, to help us live better, more fulfilled and happy lives. For more information, please visit www.lusciousplace.com and subscribe to the Luscious Place E-Newsletter.
