I do too… I have a note book and also a blog type thing on the computer logging instances so that I never forget especially when I think all is lost or that I’ve lost my way. lol
To the original post, God does speak to me, in several ways. It is a walk of faith and trusting him. I have to trust him, who else could it be leading and guiding me?
One way of his talking is through reading his word. Even once in studying, I began to question “how” to have him audibly answer… of course there were goose bumps up and down my arms as I look around me to see who is answering my “mind question”.
Mostly though, it is an inner voice that speaks the word of God that I have already put into my heart through reading and studying. It has been a process of learning his ways, and knowing that when I am contrary to his word, the Holy Spirit quickly brings to remembrance his word that I have already learned and it leads me and guides me.
There have been times he has spoken to me audibly, but that is not as often. I have been woken up or should I say instantly jolted awake to hear him speak with undeniable witness that I should quickly listen and take heed. Once it was in warning of something personal going on in my life. The other is kinda funny, but actually shows how much he cares about every detail of our lives.
I was woke up about 3 am with the awareness and being told that my girls had left the home and were in the driveway…can’t say it was a vision or what you would call it. I slipped out of bed, put on the robe to catch them rounding the side of the house sneaking past my car in the driveway exactly where I knew I would find them. I had very shocked kids, but also was able to tell them that God does care enough to help me raise them as a single parent. No doubt in my mind that it was God. I may not have eyes in the back of my head, but God does watch always.
I went to sleep one night and whispered that I needed a certain amt of money because I had paid everything, but needed to pay the remainder of my daughter’s glasses. The exact amt was under my mouse pad the next morning. (I could fill pages of these types of prayers for help to have them answered in ways only to know it is God)
It has become a way of life to listen and hear… being aware of the small things that He uses to speak. Sometimes people say things and the bells start going off in your head and you know that it was God using them to speak direction…and they usually have not a clue.
The communication has only come through trusting him and waiting patiently to speak and answer us. We don't have to beg or "pray heaven down” as he already provided everything on Calvary. Actually it has been in times of quietly speaking that he has proven to me that he is there listening all the time.
I think he does this with all His children... I am not sure that all are trusting that the way he chooses to speak or answer our prayers are as we might want them answered.
If we all could see how much he has already moved on prayers and provided protection when we didn't even realize it.. might really surprise us all.
