Is God Speaking to Me?

Sorry guys for being super MIA on the weekdays, but I'm actually planning a revamp for the blog so get excited!!

Anyways it's Sunday so you know what that means .... the Sundays!!!

Is it God or is it  just a coincidence.

Recently I have had a hard time hearing Gods voice. Not literally but in the sense of knowing when he's tell me to do something or not to. Sometimes I feel like I let me own voice drown out his.

Obviously this isn't good. So I'm going to share some things that I've discovered and some things that I've found in research that have helped me hear him.

1. Just ask! Pray for wisdom and ask God to make his voice clear to you and then believe that he will do that.

Matthew 7:7 says "Ask, and it will be given unto you; seek, an you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

God wants to help you he wants to bless you so don't be afraid to just ask.

2. Just Listen. Sometimes during your designated prayer time don't say anything. Just sit meditate and listen. Proper meditation takes time and effort so if you're new at it don't worry just keep listening.

3. Remove distractions. Online I found the idea of having a prayer room or a prayer space and I thought that was so awesome! I know personally sometimes my mind can wonder as I'm praying making it difficult to really focus on God. Therefore, I think it's an amazing idea to designate a space just for him.

4. Be patient. Often I ask God something and expect to know the answer right then and there. Sometimes God does answer quickly, however, other times it can take weeks, months, even years to get the answer you seek. God knows the exact moment that you need to know what you seek so my advice is take your time and don't rush anything; pray and meditate on it until you truly know this is what God wants me to do.

5. Get to know him. Building your relationship with God, studying his commandments, and reading about how he has answered his believers in the past can help you better understand how God works and make it easier to know when it's his voice and not yours or somebody else's.

It's kind of like how your mom can just give you one look and you know that means shut up. Well you definitely didn't know what that look meant when she first did it; it took years of that same look for you to finally understand that when mom gives me this look I need to shut up lol.

My point is, the more you know God the better you can understand how he functions and how he speaks to you. Also sometimes God speaks to us through his word which is the bible and often the answer that you seek is in there


Here's a TD Jakes video that talks about hearing God. I'll be honest I haven't watched the entire thing yet since I myself am on my way to church but what I've heard so far is great I'll watch the rest when I get home I promise CLICK HERE
