7 Ways to Distinguish God's Voice from the Circumstances of Life - Ron Edmondson
you havent answered my request about translating from english to german ?
I believe God exists and I am trying to seek him but I do wonder if God let me go on a trip to my Grandparents out of nowhere for a reason. My Grandpa was in a really bad state and in the hospital and my mom wanted to fly to we’re they lived which was in another state. I asked if I could go because I never been to another state or flew on a airplane before. To be honest I would never think that we would visit our grandparents, it felt unreal because suddenly I was going to visit them. I felt bad for my grandparents and hoped that things would get better but there was times staying over there I complained for dumb things.
Thank you for putting this out there. I agree with your opinion and I hope more people would come to agree with this as well.
Please see my blog,
Four Signs You are Being Called By God
Hope this will help, Thank you!
Keith God loves you like and wants the best for you. Seek him first he’ll guide to the right mate for you one that will love you unconditionally and be faithfully that let God the Father guide you with his wisdom. Because God is good and will do exceedingly in your life.
Darren,
Do not lose faith- God is right there next to you. We do not always understand his timing and trials but keep your faith. Continue to him, ask him for help and listen for his guidance. God puts special people in our lives to help- follow them. I am also dealing with a loved one in addiction and have been praying for all those who suffer from this horrible disease. I will continue to keep you in my prayers! Don’t give up faith- he has something great planned for you!

In 1997 I had just graduated from college and started a new job. I was 30 years old. I was single with no children. I was living at home with both of my parents and 2 younger siblings. One Saturday, while I was on 3 months probation at work, I asked my mother if she wanted to go to the flea market. I didn’t have to be at work until 4 pm later that day. At the same time we were getting ready a friend of the family stopped by to check in on us. After a while our friend, JR, was about to leave to go visit his son in Brooklyn. I told him I will give him a ride to the train station. At that very point of offering JR a ride I heard a voice on my right side, OUTSIDE of my head that said “DON’T GO”. It was a whisper. I paused for a few seconds then I just ignored it. Once the 3 of us were in the car and we drove only 3 to 4 blocks a van hit my car at a stoplight. My mother was taken to the hospital with a fractured sternum and 2 broken ribs. Once my mother was checked into the hospital I told her I heard a voice that said not to get into the car and I should have listened to that voice. 24 years later that voice haunts me, because God or his angel was warning me not to leave. I am now soon to be 54 years old and I think a lot of that particular day. I cry a lot because my father loved me so much and have always been with me even though I doubted him! I love my father in heaven!
Hello I think u should delete by Mike and any others saying that God is evil because it may lead someone down that road of thought. It may even be the unforgivable sin if done completely intentionally with free consent.. So please..
(Ppl with involuntary thoughts urges or other ppl in their past lives that spoke in anger or sadness shouldn’t think they have committed it though. Plus I’m not a hundred percent sure what is the unforgivable sin )

This year i have been battling something, i have an overwhelming feeling of what i think God is going to do for me but every time i try i fail and wonder what if its all in my head or maybe the devil is trying to trick me by making me think its from God. I really need advice let me start from the beginning. well my whole life since i was 4 or 5 i had problem of stealing money i had that problem til recently and i’m 24 years. It was an almost uncontrollable thing if i want something and i don’t have the money i just take it. but through out the years i knew it was something that i know i wanted to stop but i would find myself thinking of stealing without realising it . I have been to alot of churches and i would repend for a while but then id always get back to it. This year has been a tough year for me i have been trying to get a job but with no real luck and im getting my degree in september but i don’t really have interest in working for anyone to be honest my mind and heart is soley focused on business .I have alot of business ideas but what keeps me stuck is the money. I have tried some but mostly fail. I starting seeking God out because i realy realy wanted my own things and my own money so started my jouney. At first i had a different mentality were i would leav stealing and be like when i need somthing and he dsnt come thru what else can i do but steal because he said he will provide for me but he ddnt. So i would leave stealing pray for somthing i needed or wanted since i dont really have anyone who cares for me or gives me anything im kinda on my own, if i dnt get it i would get angry with God and just steal. i would feel guilty and ask for forgivenes but then still do it again. Recently something happened im not sure what but i don’t have the urge to steal anymore even if i need anything , normally it would be a battle but now its sooo easy i just dont want to do it. I don’t remember a time in my life where i ddnt want to steal honestly so this gives me hope that God is truly working in my life. But im conflicted because this thing that i feel God wants to do for me i have been trying since february and til today its just not working out. I get in my head about what if this feeling is not from God and the devil wants me to focus on it while life passes me by and could be trying something else that could generate money. How does one truly know when God is talking to you? There were too many times that i thot well this is it its going to happen its going to work out this week but it dsn’t and my heart gets broken because im trully trying to be a good christian and i just dont understand. Things in my life right now are not great but i’m trying to hold on to my faith. i dont really know if i should carry on or maybe its just not what God wants for…in the beginning i got close to him because i wanted the blessing and hes favor but now i feel like i NEED him in my life .
God does not just know you. He loves you. The love of God is unchanging and unconditional. He loves you during those times when you are at your best. He also loves you during the difficult times when you are at your worst. In life, you may fall a thousand times, but the love of God for you will never falter.
Whenever you feel as if your life does not go anywhere anymore, it is important that you keep on reminding yourself about the enduring love of God. This is the love that will save you from everything that is causing you so much confusion, trouble, and distress. As God Himself assures you, “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed” (Isaiah 54:10).

Thanks.
As people become older, they tend to form more and more questions in their minds – “What do I want to do with my life?”, “What are my long-term goals?”, and “Where is my life heading to?” These questions usually come to mind whenever a person is dealing with a life crisis. They can cause a great amount of anxiety, fear, and stress, especially when one is completely clueless about what the future holds for him or her.

Jessica says:
Last March, when I was suffering from emotional pain in school and the hardships my family had faced, I decided to know God deeper. And lately until I actually experienced God in my life. I faced various struggles as I progress to know the Truth. I started having what I think is the discernment of the Spirit. I just graduated in High school and I’ve been thinking a lot with what God is calling me to do with my life. I already applied to a course and just waiting for the admission until lately in the 2nd week of June when I was thinking about it and suddenly there came unwanted thoughts like voices that kept appearing and like arguing with me. I was so distressed for few days that I couldn’t help but cry to God thinking of this particular course or career (which I never really planned and interest to take) that I kept on resisting. It came to the point that I felt I was already sinning and that I might totally turn away to God If I still choose the course I planned to take. I literally cried for two nights as I prayed to God and begging him to please reset my mind if it’s not from him.
I researched many Blogs about signs of God’s calling and majority of them saying that God’s calling might be something you want to resist or afraid of.
I decided to gave up and surrendered to Him. I enrolled online with this totally different course/job I am afraid to take.
But I still doubt sometimes what if it’s just my own thought or OCD.
Something happened to me In December 2018 and since then I hear and see God everyday in ways noone else does. Im being torn apart from what he is asking me of me. I dont know where to turn, he says he is there for me no matter what but he really wants to me take a diffferent path and I have a partner and family. Something about me I was baptised catholic but never stepped foot in a church my whole life and I told him I still wont and he is ok with that as he says its not in the church you believe but in him, I wasnt 100% sure there was a god all my life but I knew in my heart there was something bigger than us. Im being so torn apart on what I should do. I really hate this choice he is putting on me. I told him I cant make that choice as I want to keep everyone in my life and that includes him

Dear Rudy,
My heart goes out to you and the decision you know you need to make eventually for your eternal destiny! This is ultimately a life or death issue and God wants you to LIVE! It is definitely God calling you, since it is so characteristic of Him to woo you to Him in His gentle, loving, and patient time frame. It’s not out of hate but it comes from the self-sacrificial extreme devotion that He has for you and all the ones He draws into His heavenly fold. This is a place that surpasses in value and worth more than where you are currently, no matter how comfortable you are right now. He doesn’t lead you out of somewhere if He doesn’t have a better situation to replace it with in time. You may even have to struggle a bit, but just like any marathon for your life, the training builds strong spiritual muscles that can make you feel invincible for God that can help take away the sting from your loss. Kingdom pleasures far surpass the earthly you will see, and then you will not suffer the dire consequences for all eternity, so you won’t regret it.
There are many who have been where you are and have come out, to give you support, so reach out to those organizations for their wisdom and help. Their joy after successfully crossing over that bridge via the cross of Jesus is their message they so sincerely desire to share with you, as one kindred brother or father to another! I pray you find solace in your new life and family in the peace and true love of Christ!
since my mom died,my grandma daughter started taking care of me and she later because she gave me money to keep for,i used it,now she stopped taking care of me and grandpa,the people I helped inside of the money are now crtizing , doing things in corny but they still serve God,but you that have pure heart towards that person is now saying all manner of things,i told God everything but have seen any signs or hear God’s voice..

Dear “happiness,”
Don’t stop searching for a real home of Christian believers in a welcoming church that will give you the love and support you need! Find one that has a small group of women that can mentor you unconditionally where you can feel at home, where you sense a sisterly and motherly concern. God may use you to be a blessing for someone else, too! You sound like you probably have compassion for others who have gone through something similar. Reach out to others and be blessed! I pray you will find the love and care you need through the mighty arms of Jesus Christ!
God is very evil since he never gave me a wife and family that he gave to so many others. God did say man shouldn’t be alone right? What about a good man like me? Just too many feminists man hating women everywhere nowadays unfortunately that God created. If only God had made women like the good old days when most women at that time were Real Ladies and the very complete opposite of today altogether, then my chances of finding a good one would have been excellent since women back then were very different. And i know friends that are single too, and feel the very same way. God what in the world did you do to these very pathetic women today?

Stephanie White says:
Mike my heart really goes out to you. I wasn’t even going to read these comments but I’m glad I did. I’ve been going through a tough season. I was married and I had gotten divorced via my choice in 2015. My ex husband was a nice man but I never wanted to truly marry him. I am a good woman who made some bad decisions. However, I don’t want you to lose faith due to you not having the desires of your heart. After all scripture also states the heart is deceitful Jeremiah 17:9. I came to this forum because I had been in a Bad mental/emotional state today. But maybe that’s not the reason God intended. God loves you my friend and you have no idea what he has in store for you.
-
J says:
maybe God is withholding that desire from you to show you how to respect women as he does… we are told to seek the giver, not the gift, and perhaps he knows that you will not truly appreciate the blessing of a family until you put him first whether single or married. a wife is a precious gift, another human being who has willingly chosen to spend her life with you. that is not a simple thing like a new car or house. if that is really your desire, is for the fullness of God’s love expressed in that relationship (and not simply companionship or someone pretty to look at) then he is surely preparing you for it in this season of waiting. it may feel like he is against you, but he actually may have more for you in the long run than you imagine right now. but to get there, you have to want it his way. the world treats romantic partners as disposable commodities, not as precious individual souls who desire marriage as a way to further glorify God. God treats us in such a way and so should you treat your future wife. perhaps extend your prayers beyond simply ‘a woman’ and pray that God would bring you the right person, and along the way make you worthy of her.
-
Christine says:
Mike,
I am a woman. God made me. Sorry to say…I am not pathetic. Calling anyone any sort of name simply because you feel you are in the position to do so does only one thing….show how you really feel. So you feel all women today are pathetic. Why then, would you ask God to give you a “pathetic” woman, knowing this would not make you happy? You know, in your heart of hearts, that the unlikeable qualities a person has nothing to do with their gender.-

Jen D says:
Hi Mike!
Please know that I speak only out of love and concern. I have a feeling that a woman/women have hurt you deeply and you speak from that hurt. I’m deeply sorry Brother. I pray that you seek and receive healing for whatever has happened in your past. I also pray that you surround yourself with men that speak life and not death. Men that see women, today’s Godly woman as The Lord sees them. The Lord is not withholding from you because He is evil. He is delaying because He wants to transform you and prepare you for what He wills and has planned in your life. To be truly ready as a Godly, whole man for whatever and whomever He brings into your life. He loves you so much Mike and only desires to give you life in abundance, not the death and lies that Satan has you entangled in. Let go and let God and trust Him above all else. He has a hope and a future for you Friend.
Blessings!

I had all that. or so I thought. and it was all taken from me and I was left for dead more than once by those very things and people I lived everyday for. I dont get it either. the pain of losing all that places the story of Joseph I. front of me ever week since october 2019. it’s pain lile nothing I’ve ever experienced. I feel for you but my faith in god os the only reason I am here today to send you this reply. please dont let the evil take your faith. it’s a gift that you’re angry and not understanding. I struggle every day still. I started using this prayer yesterday. found it by chance and today I’m not in a good place and just keep saying it out loud to myself. it helped me a lot just today. I hope it reaches you. your post helped me. know you helped this one person. you’re more important than you realize.
An Examen for Times of Anxiety and Depression
I pause (breathe in and out) and thank you for this day. For the challenges, the emotions, the struggle. For in all this, I grow closer to you.
I pause (breathe in and out) and ask that in the darkness, I see your light and in my fear, I feel your strength.
I pause (breathe in and out) and remember that today, As in days before, I have survived. When I ve wanted to run, I ve stayed. When I wanted to hide, I ve faced the day.
I pause (breathe in and out) and ask for forgiveness for The days I falter and the disease takes over. I ask for compassion and love when I m unable to give those to myself.
I pause (breathe in and out) and resolve to love myself more tomorrow. And always feel your spirit surround me in safety.
I pause (breathe in and out) and rest

Johnson says:
I’ve had this feeling of some sort and I don’t know what it is. It feels like god is trying to tell me something, when I was driving yesterday blaring music with my friends my mind went blank. Everything my friends were saying wasn’t processing. But I immediately started talking to god it seemed, in my mind of course. This went on for a whole hour. When I dropped my girlfriend off at her house I said god what are you trying to say to me and then it happened my mind blurred everything out but him. What. Does. This. Mean.

Steven says:
Sorry but life doesn’t just happen. The story of Job, Joseph, and Esther points to a sovereign God that controls everything. He controls the minute by minute workings of our entire Lives. King Xerxes had recently agreed to Hammans plan to kill the Jews. One night it just so happened that after this decree the King couldn’t sleep, they bring a book to read to him to help him fall asleep. They just so happen to get to the part of Mordecai saving the King’s life. He asked what had been done for him. And it just so happened that at the exact moment Haman comes into the court yard. And you know the rest of the story.
There are no coincidences, chance, or random events in our lives.

Dear Johnson,
That definitely sounds like the real, true, and living God got your attention in His calm, still voice! The Bible says to be still and hear His voice when He calls. He probably has summoned you to something better and a life so much greater than where you’re at now for some reason. You need to seek it out. Don’t waste too much time before doing so for your life may be in the balance right now. Pick a truly Bible-believing website that can explain Jesus’ message that He has for the whole world. The book of John is a good starting point. It is one of mercy, significance, assuredness, peace, love, and joy! He chooses the people He wants to show His plans to. Draw close to Him and He will direct your ways to prosper, lead and promote you to His higher calling! It is well worth it and extremely essential for your eternal destiny. Don’t miss the boat! Be where He is and get onboard to where He wants to take you. You will never regret this journey to your real life! God bless you!

Aaron says:
Missed a call when you don’t even know if it was a calll or not it’s never clear or obvious at all so you just except them to know what’s yanking there eyes around or the vibe someone is there, you don’t know you can’t just feel it and in our mind we’re like there’s. I way anyone or anything is there so we ignore and keep doing what we was at the time

The Word of God says, “If you seek Me, you will find Me, if you search for Me with your whole heart.” That means that God will honor your true and heartfelt intentions to really want to find Him. He may start to demonstrate this in many ways that only you will recognize as coming from Someone who only has that privy kind of information from the depths of your mind. Let Him be the Lord of your life instead of the other way around, then wait and see! His is the real and only worthwhile means to a satisfying existence. You can trust the One who died for you and then rose to the whole family of believers to prove there really is a heaven. Jesus announced this was so and everyone who has gotten to know this Savior, who’s still alive and well, can proclaim His profound joy, peace of mind, and complete forgiveness of their soul when they finally put their whole trust in Him! I wouldn’t take this calling lightly. It is a life or death issue that you won’t regret! God bless you.

My Dearest Brother Ron,
When I read this part you wrote below, I knew it was – with absolute certainty and so much so, that I’d bet my own body/temple on it, that it was Him speaking directly to me through you. He wanted to make sure I would read it until the very end. He got my attention alright. Praise God. But when you wrote,
“Jesus said, “My sheep know my voice.” (John 10:27)
That’s especially true in the circumstances of our life. When life is happening — we want to know: Is this God? Is this what He is telling me to do? Is God trying to get my attention?
And, I believe, sometimes life if just happening. It’s not at all that God isn’t interested or in control. He counts hairs on our head and stores our tears in a bottle — He cares. But, sometimes life is life. Things happen. Doors open. Doors close. Jobs are lost. Health changes.”
Being a spiritual being in Christ, He repaid me with the two affirmations I always tell people. They are 2 things I affirm to others who are seeking advise from me, or just a listening ear- when they’re going through one of life’s giant storms. Those two things I always tell people are, #1) God cares so much about you and us, so much so, that he knows the exact number of hairs we have on your heads. Every single time a single hair is lost, He makes it a point to keep track of that constant ever-changing number of hairs He has specifically placed on our heads. He keeps track because He cares. And He loves us. Because He is love. Thank you.
The second thing I always tell those people is:
#2) Every single tear you have ever shed- and will shed, God (The Holy Spirit) takes and collects them all, storing our soul’s cries into a bottle, which He specifically places on a shelf for us in Heaven. And He remembers them. Every tear. And He remembers every single reason behind every tear we have ever – and will ever shed. Every tear!
Not one person has ever told me these things in return. Until now. Except you. Crazy. It was the ultimate attention grabber for me, and so I listened intently, trough His use of you and your writing.
Recently I was laid off from my job, in the company’s new merger, who then decided that eliminating my position altogether, at almost 300 clinics country-wide, was the best business decision. So I am still actively searching for another job for myself and my 2 children – boys 😊. And I struggle daily with physical and mental health issues.
As I am in this storm, He has now reminded me two times, that He is with me still. But that these seemingly quiet moments of God being silent in my life, He is still with me (us) and that He needs to be silent because He’s behind the scenes working for our benefit, and testing our faith to take our spirits to the next-higher, spiritual level. Thank you.
God bless you now, and for all eternities to come.
Thank you, my brother Ron.
Always is the highest glory an honor to be given to our God The Father, God The Son – Christ Jesus – The Messiah, and God The Holy Spirit. In Jesus name. Amen!
Love you always,
*Your sister in Christ*

Pam V Rosales says:
I am going through a financial storm. On the verge of homelessness this Friday if I don’t come up with the rent money not because I don’t work but contractors not paying my invoices for a month now. However I have realized that I have come closer to God reading scriptures singing him hyms. Ron you mentioned Jeremiah 29:11 and that’s God”s promise I am hanging on to. I read it yesterday and today you make reference to it Praise God.
I am a Christian I believe Jesus Christ died on that cross for me and you. Eventho I talk to God during the day and always pray at night I have stopped going to church and with not going to church I haven’t been thitthing. Which my heart hears God’s voice as the root of my financial problems. Am I being punished of course not it just goes to show that if we don’t trust and follow what he says we create our own bad circumstances.
In Christ,
Pam
God’s voice? Really? I beg, scream, plead with God and all I get is more disappointment, suffering, frustration and anger. I feel your love God… So when you truly love someone, you should turn your back on them, allow them to suffer no matter how much they beg you for love. You should not show them any love but tell them to have faith and trust in me… Is it me or does that just sound absolutely ludicrous?

Olympia says:
John, be patient. Our Lord Jesus he is never in a hurry. Trust in His perfect timing . Don’t give up! Early mornings are the time to find the Lord. Read daily scripture,like Our Daily Bread…..or Jesus Calling. Don’t forget to ask for help to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. We have two mothers,one on earth and one in heaven. May your prayers get answered,in Jesus and Mary.

Kellie Kelly says:
I’m so sorry that you feel that our God has turned his back on you. He has never left you nor forsaken you. He tells you to cast your worries onto Him for reasons you may not fully understand nor appreciate. Yes the Lord, our God, wants us to suffer not but He wishes you to give Him your worries because they’re not yours to carry. These are not our battles but His. For one to burden themselves with anger, shame, feelings of wrongdoing brought about by those who may deceive or trespass against us is to unnecessarily carry the battles that are to be fought by God, not us. Those are sins against God and brought forth by the wrongdoer and it so shall remain their battle, not ours. God doesn’t want us to hold onto what happens TO US because no matter their intentions/outcome, we’re only supposed to experience them, not own them. All to often people are hurting themselves by holding onto something that is not ours to own or keep. They’re no problems that are too great for our Lord, thy God, to carry. If you find yourself begging the Lord our God for help and you find yourself still fighting these battles one must step back and look at the situation honestly and ask, was this brought on by my will or His? Any time you use free will in your life one must understand that God may not intervene where free will was used so you must figure out if the outcome of your decision to use your free will has brought about the struggles that you feel He’s left you to manage on your own. Understand you may feel alone, but I promise you are not. You must fight the battles you bring on through free will while clothed in the Armour of God; the shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, Buckler of Truth, the Gospel Sandals of Peace and the Sword of the Spirit. Peace be unto you all the days of your life and may you learn to feel the Love of our God that He give so freely.

That sounds terrible and I haven’t heard anyone yell or scream about anything so idk what you mean by that Maybe I can’t hear good idk, turn back on them just a little while make sure they keep wanting and make sure it wasn’t just a spark. If it’s a real fire there usually hard to put out and I’m feeling a hot fire that’s very hard to put out and did I mention it’s hard to put out it’s next to a strawberry field across from rose garden and it won’t go out just a roaring fire like it’s on a kerosene plant or something and won’t go out it’s like level nine fire at the kerosene factory lol it’s been burning since a crab feast at my friends farm and I can’t get it to go out do y’all have any fire trucks I didn’t even know one could burn that long must be a endless amount of fuel at that factory because it’s been a few years or so and I just don’t know how to deal with the flame it’s so hot my body gets really warm when I get near it and the headlights on the last fire truck was too bright for my eyes so I waited till for it to run out of water but now then I couldn’t find the fire truck when I came back but I don’t think that fires going out unless they burry that factory or something must be gimme fuel gimmme fire gime what I desire cowboy. I can’t control what my heart desires and that’s wired To my body parts ha. Someone said my fire stinks but whenever I went out planning on seeing a fire truck I was always clean n ready maybe had camo seat covers in my truck heard that was a turn off but idc i like camo. Maybe fire truck was at other side of fire and I didn’t see it thru all the smoke. I guess theirs that one fire that only gets bigger or maybe it just looks big from the road because I haven’t seen it in person in a long time. If I smell the smoke or see it again I’ll find out if it’s still burning I always lose it somehow it’s a wandering firetruck. Hopefully not a elusion trap or something. Sooo yea have faith and trust definitely always cuz that fire has been going for years off of just faith and trust. I wanna see that fire again soon

That is very imformative article.God speaks to us everyday but most of us are dead in spirit so the devil sweeps us away anytime we hear God’s voice. I believe it is time to be vigilant. Satan is a liar and always whisper lies into our ears. Knowing the difference in these voices will also help us to listen to God.

John says:
I get so tired of the satan excuses. Where is God when we are raped, beaten, abused? Why would God continue to let that happen to us? Why do we pray, beg, plead and God does nothing? So we just aren’t hearing God’s voice? WOW….. God just doesn’t care about alot of us know matter what we do. That’s a fact.

Amaud says:
Watch your mouth John… Read your bible from Genesis… He created you…. Come on man you sound like Thomas… Have Faith…. Whatever happen in your life happen for a reason…Look at Job he was a righteous man after God own heart.. God allowed the devil to do things to see how much you love him…I tell everybody when you accept God.. You belong to Him…. It don’t matter if you do stray away… 23 Psalms say His rod and staff comfort you… Put you back in line…

Dear John,
God will not let all the bad done to someone else go unpunished, but often He is patient to wait until the very end of time to do so. Why? Because as much as you may not want it to, God waits for even the worst of sinners like that the time to turn away from doing bad and seek repentance. That goes for us, too, which is what we need and want the same! Sometimes God can turn a tragic event into a breakthrough for us so we can now receive not only His comfort but eternal salvation from the pit of hell as well. John, I see that you have the God-given virtue of a sense of justice, as well as knowing right from wrong. This is evidence of God’s existence in the world. We must do our wimpy best at trusting what He is doing, and will continue to do from now until the end of the world. Then there will be a restored earth free of sin, and heaven will come down to join us! We don’t have to wait til then to get to know deeply His divine and truly compassionate self. Blessed, mighty, and all-loving is the Lord! We don’t always know why He shields some from certain earthly pains but many have come to know Him as a healer and restorer of our broken lives and have lived to proclaim it wholeheartedly! Find His peace, seek forgiveness and to forgive others, and you won’t regret it.

No…..that can’t be true. God does absolutely care about us. When there is so much good to behold in our lives; perhaps you are looking in the wrong place. I, personally, have lost dear loved ones; my loving daughter, my Mom, my Sister, and my Brother. Yet, I refuse to lose Faith, as that’s all that’s left with the absence of them. I hold dearly the Family I have, and hope, pray, that when the day comes for me, my Faith will not be lost.
I came in contact with your message today. And I longed to hear more so that I can find the will of God for me in all areas of life. Your teaching gives me inspirations and more insight about God.
Good Afternoon,
My name is Tonya Boyd… I am so confused about this dream I had regarding something I have been praying for; for nine years. I had a dream and in the dream a voice stated several statements. One in particular “Tonya don’t worry about it, it’s not your time”.. Ironically the events that occurred in my dream actually are currently happening. I am so confused… please help me…
This is hopefull article BUT the problem still remains – even if there still are some people who actually seek God the lack of direct communication that can not be misuderstood and faked still exist. Long story short – if person does not have CLEAR instructions from REAL source thry can not be blamed for not achieving success doing that because that is not how partnership work IRL. There has to be contact. Just like when 2 people meet they need to be able to understand each other to get valid communication.
Hi. You also forget something. Devil is educated on how God does his business SO he can FAKE the signs to appear as if they are from God or as coincidences. There is saying “Devil is in the details”. This is why there has to be irrefutable|undebunkable direct connection communication otherwise it can go BOTH ways and humans being limited can be easily tricked, manipulated, deceived. Especially now in Hollywood era. We simply can’t know who to trust anymorr so the only way for us to live is use fail-safe option – trust none, not even yourself!
I am lost.
I have wanted to be a nurse since I was the whole age of 6 years old, the thought of helping save someones life has always been my dream! I am now 33 years old married with 2 kids an about 2 years ago I told my husband I wanted to go to nursing school I have always felt this was God’s calling for my life. I was enrolled in a 5 semester RN program, working part-time, taking care of my family and studying my tail off when I got to the 4th semester I could not pass a mandatory drug calculations test you only get 3 chances to make 100% or you have to withdraw from the program after my 3rd attempt I was unsuccessful so my nursing instructor said take to semester off an practice practice practice your math problems so thats what I did, I did 20-30 questions a day for almost 3 months. The next semester came around an I was back ready to make my 100 an finish nursing school an start for forever journey when I was again unsuccessful on the 3rd test so I was made to drop the program completely without another chance at that college. I was devastated well I still am because the longing to be a nurse still hasn’t gone away. That was 5 months ago an I am still praying and asking God every single day for him to reveal to me his plan an guess what I have heard NOTHING! I am in a season of needing to hear from God. I have never had God go silent on me before until now, I dont know what this means. I love God, I am a christian, go to church every week ,I pray, I serve to Lord, so why wouldn’t he speak to me?? I am lonely without my relationship with him , I am trying so very hard to stay in my faith but at times its very hard. I truly with all my heart just want to do Gods will in my life so if being a nurse isnt it I need clarification from him as to what is it I am supposed to be doing? Please join me for praying for me!

Oh, honey. I know I’m so late in comementing on this but I’m going thru a very similar situation right now with a class i need to take before applying to medical school. I pray God has since revealed Himself to you. I’m praying for you as a sister in Christ and hope you’ll do the same for me .

Aleisha says:
Not sure how long ago you posted this, but I am a nurse and would be happy to help you with the nursing math.
Our worship pastors recently announced they are moving to a different state to start a church, they extended an invitation to all church members that felt God was calling them to go start a church with them.
My husband and I felt we needed to pray about this and we have for the past month. However, we haven’t heard from God that we should relocate and help build this church. I keep thinking about what Isaiah 6:8 says. We are willing to go wherever he sends us but so far we haven’t heard anything and although we want to go and serve we want to make sure this is God’s will for our lives as we would have to find our own place to live and also get jobs.
It’s been a bit confusing because we want to go and do His work and be a part of this but we don’t want to do it out of excitement or emotions.
Reading this has helped me tremendously and I thank you for sharing it with us and for allowing God to work in your life and give wisdom to others.
Thanks!
Sincerely, thank-you for this write-up/article. God gave me a vision – lying me down onto a pillow when I had just sat up from my nights sleep. He audibly spoke to me in a deep powerful voice once I sat back up…saying “I CAN DO ANYTHING” – I am asking Him for added patience for what He has led me to & learning all the different spiritual principles with this is so powerful & I am now writing a book. Something I was told in college 30 yrs ago. Your writing reminded that the visions & my pastors confirmation of what God is doing is all apart of the plan…as He said He could do anything! “PTL!” God Bless Your Work.
Hello, I had a period in my life when I was going through a spiritual dryness and I would seek some kind of guidance from fellow church members, I knew something was wrong because that fire I had when I received Christ is my life seems like it just went dim… which lead me back to doing sinful things, I knew that I was doing evil but yet and still I would ask for forgiveness, I also could remember the Lord would give me dreams and visions, but everything just quieted down for awhile, So now i’m at the point in my life where I surrendered back to God i’m reading my bible again praying constantly without ceasing and I feel the fire coming back….. I just want to stay in constant communication with God…
What a blessing to be refreshed about God’s promises. We have been learning about the Holy Spirit at Church and this really truly confirms that He is God. I pray that in the midst of all my daily tasks, I will use the teachings shared to hear and follow God’s voice.
God bless you for your ministry.
I agree that God can use others to provide confirmation from Him. Sometimes we just need to ask for wise Godly counsel so that what we believe we are hearing from God IS Him really speaking to us.
I am so blessed to hear how I need to listen to God I know now for shore thanks pray for me I’m having ever kind of problem you can think.of but I will be hold on to God my name is no Roy Blanton I’ll be praying for you and
y
I thank God for your words of encouragement, I ve really been through period of silence where every think seems against me, its such an unbearable period. That’s why I peep thro internet and I came by your piece; He must intervene either by increased grace or outright miracle to heal us.Thanks a lot please do pray for us too.
God always answers me,right from childhood. no matter what I ask,I get it somehow. my dad fell really I’ll,and slept. I fell ill first around 2nd/3rd of this month too,2 days after I left the hospital, he fell I’ll too. I left 2 drips untouched,plus the one I was receiving, half. only to return home and find out he also left two untouched. we had similar diagnosis, but I told the nurses and doctor that I’ve had enough of the sickness and I was ready to go home. I returned from school the next week worried, coz I couldn’t reach him on phone, only to hear he slept. I was shattered,I cried,but the next day,something gave me courage,I started praying. last Sunday service,I was touched to read some passages which I did,lots of things came to me,and I wrote down,I did all I was asked. 1.win a soul. 2.fast,watch and pray. 3.pray and make peace with family members and aunties. I did all,yet haven’t seen result. I’m still waiting and hoping its all a dream

I don't know if God is talking to me… I think He is but maybe it's just my own thoughts popping up in my head telling me what I want to hear. how do I know if God is speaking to me? my relationship with Him has really improved in the last few months. what i think God says to me, isn't against His word, I mean. it's good things. but how do I know it's God and not just my own thoughts?
Apart from someone's sins, are there other reasons God would decide not to speak to His child/ren for a whlie?
Thanks for the sensible critique. Me & my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our area library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such wonderful info being shared freely out there. cbdefkbcdega

Thank you.
I’m not God but listen to your heart. He’s there and if you try hard enough you’ll hear His Voice of reason and comfort. Maybe staying in Egypt wasn’t the best thing because honoring our wives with love and support (not just financially) is Scripture. The Lord expects husbands and wives to be mutually loved, honored and respected. Maybe you should’ve sent her flowers or why don’t you just tell her how you feel. Listening and communicating with God would’ve certainly helped you speak to her. Love God, yourself and fellow man my friend.
When at a crossroad in life how do you decide which is the path God wants you to take? Especially when situations are not a clear textbook case where you can simply refer to the Bible and know for yourself that this is or is not from God.
Thank u for encouraging me amidst my trials . I am in the worst valley of my life.
This has been very helpful to me. God bless this Ministry! My older son has turned away from God. I continue to prayer for his return. But I still go through some times when I want to know if God is hearing me. I had suffered abuse in my childhood as well as early adulthood. But I always believe that the hand of God has kept me from destruction. But now for my children to go through hardships?
Hello, I have been seeking Godly wisdom for sometime and have gathered a lot of insight from reading posts and responses here. My relationship with God with strengthened after my Father passed away in 2009, I was drawn into a deeper faith and understanding of God as our heavenly Father and my life began to change. I prayed and trusted God with everything, From the closing of a business to ending an abusive controlling relationship( I believe I heard God say if you leave I will take care of you and he did.) I encountered may challenges however I still trusted. Going back to my business.. I had a very close and loving relationship with all of my clients and I shared my faith with them all..it was probably one of the best times of my life I truly felt like I was serving the Lord.
Moving to my current situation, after moving out of state to take time to heal I began praying and earnestly seeking God's guidance for a Christian husband, someone from my past entered my life again I'd had feelings for him in the past and those feelings quickly resurfaced and I thought this was God answering my prayers. He is also a Christian and seems to be a caring man. I continued to pray about things however I know that I'd already made up in my mind and heart that he was the man God had sent me. We live in different cities and after sometime of communicating with him I began to put my feelings for him before my love for God.. looking back I can admit that. Moving forward things didn't work out for us ( he wanted intimacy too soon I felt and things took a wrong turn and I wasn't able to save the relationship) and I tried…even relocating because I was so sure he was my husband. Through all of this I believe God gave me a message to Surrender… I honestly didn't know what that meant and I started researching what it means to Surrender to God. I am so accustom to controlling my life…in surrendering now I am just confused some days on what God's plan is for my life verses my dreams. I continue to pray daily however some days I am sad and feel lost…the close relationship I once had with God feels distant . He did show me why I'd never fully surrendered my life to him, he showed me my past and my childhood and how I'd pretty much raised myself and that's why I trusted myself over him. I am working on surrendering while still trying to believe God is a God of the impossible. Working to strengthen my faith again…
Thanks for taking time to read.

Touching story, much appreciated and congrats and thanks on the honesty! Great job! God is working in your life- think about and be thankful for that and how amazing that is- I know how easy it is to get distracted by things – but how great is it when we remember and enjoy the fact that we have everything we need-Christ!

Thank you Jimmy. God Bless you!

I have learned so much this morning. I needed to read The 7 Thoughts on Hearing God and all the other topics I read today. This was sent to my email and I am so grateful that I took the time to read it in its entirety. What a blessing I received. Than you for sharing this was has truly been inspirational. To God be the Glory!!!!
Hi, I wanted to reply to you and tell you, that I went through a bad child hood, with abuse, that lead me to make a lot of bad choices, and kept me feeling angry, bitter, and mad. But God showed me, after several years, that he was there with me during all those bad times as a kid, that he cried with me, that he hurt when I was hurt. And I know it sounds unbelievable, but his love healed me, and when I really listen to him, and follow what he says, I am calm, filled with peace and happy. He loves you with a love that you can never fathom. Stay strong and God bless
I’m not commenting to disrespect God, the Arthur of this post, or anyone. The truth is that I’m a believer in God. I’m even currently the youth director of my church. My problem is that every, and I mean every time that I’ve claimed to hear from God, it’s come back to bite me HARD.
I almost lost my wife and kids in a time in my life where I thought I was doing or being lead to do God’s will. I was made a complete fool and embarrassed another. And again now. I’ve been prophesied to by 2great men/Bishops (one a prophet) who we’re both guest speakers from out of state two different occasions who almost gave identical prophesies to me during service and both with deadlines of when it was going to happen. At the time I rejoiced because it was confirmation to both me and my wife of what God had already showed us in visions. Well over a year later past their given deadline, nothing has changed. Matter fact our situation has even gotten worse, direly worse.
I’ve lost the respect of my wife because how can she trust that what I’m so called hearing from God is true when EVERY time I thought I was, it’s lead us to failure? So our marriage is on the brinks, and I don’t blame her one bit. I don’t even trust myself. God could sit next to me in plain sight right now while I’m typing this and talk to me, but I’ve been played so many times that I wouldn’t believe it.
I don’t understand. God knows my heart and how much I desire to do true kingdom work, but yet I keep falling like this and it not only cost me but my wife, and my children who are totally innocent in this and totally dependent on me.
So I read this to find help. Find what am I doing wrong. And unfortunately( and I don’t mean this maliciously) I just found what I’ve read so many times before. I’m not a new Christian so it’s not like I just don’t know anything. I’ve totally submitted to him, I make time to just hear from him, I make it my goal to continue to go to a higher level in my relationship with him, and so on and so on.
But yet and still, the same results. It has me questioning God. It has me wondering “is this the kind of God that I serve?”. And so much more but yet here I am with all these different emotions, and I’m the appointed Youth Pastor that has to lead them in the direction that I’m not even sure of anymore.
He said he’d never leave me nor forsake me, but my life has shown otherwise. The bible says “though he slay me, yet will I trust him.”. I know God is real because I’ve had experiences in my life when I was younger that say so. But,… I don’t even know what else to say. Please, someone out there just sincerely pray for me and my family.

Hututu Ralte says:
Surely I will pray for you brother. I don’t know the words that you need to hear right now but please know that I will pray for you and your family.
And please remember always GOD LOVES YOU -
Steph says:
Be encouraged my brother. Remember, it’s about God’s timing and His will. Things come about to test our faith. God, wants to know are you still going to trust me when you can’t trace me. Usually during our difficult times He’s preparing and strengthen us. God is not a man that He should lie or His word return void. Also, remember in Habakkah when the Lord said “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it will surely speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it…” The blessings is in the pressing. It’s not about you, but our Father. I’m praying for you. God knows and loves you.

Ms. Polk says:
Often times the enemy will have us feel as if we are the only ones who are facing hard tests and trials. I know Oh too well how you must feel. Just last night I had to say Lord why am I going through so much when I try so hard to live right. Nonetheless, in 1 Peter 5:10 it says…But the God of all Grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
After I read this scripture and dissected and studied each word this really helped me quite a bit.
Tho he slay me, yet will I trust in him. May the Lord keep you in perfect peace as your mind is stayed on him. Don’t waiver, stand strong like the tree planted by the water
Hi! I’m so glad I found this. Here’s my situation. I grew up in a violent home. My mother loved me but was an alcoholic and my father(stepfather) hated me. Or at least that’s how it felt. I spent so much time in fear and solitude. So as an adult I can’t function correctly. There’s this part of me that wants to cling to God, and wants to feel Gods love and this aching for his love and approval. Then there’s this other part of me that wants to fit in with the world. To have a nice home (my home is barely livable right now), and to follow my dreams, travel, explore. And then I have this really wild side.. Like I want to do crazy things, like party and model and drink or just be crazy. The sad truth is that I’m not doing anything. I hide in my home. I’m miserable, depressed, and I’m getting older and older. My mind is like a 16 year olds and I’m almost 40. When I have turned to God I feel isolated and lonely. I know this is a little or a lot off topic I just am stuck. No joy, no improvement, no goals, no motivation,no hope! Im a pretty crappie mom. I lack discipline, organization and any form of authority and structure. All that I lack also makes me s pretty bad wife also . I just can’t get myself together . All I know is that I’m miserable. The world doesn’t seem to want me and I think God is so distant. I try to go to church hoping maybe I’ll be invited to things or people will talk to me. But I feel like they don’t understand my lack of spiritual growth. Honestly I don’t understand it either. People say like they feel different when they come to know God. Peace and Hope and Joy. All I ever feel is shame and fear. And what I don’t understand us God says he loved us even as sinners.. I don’t feel his love. Is it me, am I that unloveable?

Our stories are extraordinarily similar. I’m 33 and from a broken home. Ive gotten over it to a point where I can function with a career but emotionally feel 17. Sometimes I get stuck wondering whether or not there was a divine purpose in regards to what we’ve went through. Could it be God speaking or just random horrible, entropic chaotic acts without focus or purpose. Email me if you want to talk.

Hi, I read your comment, and wanted to say, I to came from a bad background, and abusive child hood. After many years of bad chouces, anger, and blame, I’ve come to realize, when I was a little child, and scared, hurt, and crying, God was there with me. He showed me that he cried with me, he was there, and hurt that I was hurt. I hope and pray God shows you, and others like us, that he was there with you during the bad times, and loves you with a love that you can not even fathom. Stay strong, and God bless.

Maria paul says:
Well I do believe that u are a man of God and what ur experienced is a time out from God he does this to us to test our maturity to stand on ur own two feet and so far u have done exceptionally well , you need to focus on how u can bring people into gods light ur wife loves u . But u are not god she needs to put more trust in god and not u , since our love ones look to us for inspiration and guidance we need to look to god for that same comfort but not always will he be the life jacket we so desire we need to learn how to swim on our own . God is saying to u that he loves you enough to make wise decisions with out him showing u a sign u are no longer a baby eagle u can now fly on our own and keep shining the past failures are just stepping stones to ur success do not give up but press on ur miracle is moments away one love my brother .

I saw your post. I too suffered with depression. I have been healed of it but it took 3 years. I want to tell you that when you’re depressed, you can’t think clearly, you hate yourself so u think that nobody could possibly love you. Depression makes everything you do harder and worse. Try to remember that is the depression and not you. Focus on God no matter how much it hurts. No matter how much you feel like he doesn’t hear you. Keep your focus on him and think positive. Those things helped me.
