Does God Talk To You?
It is a wonderful thing to pray (talk to God), and actually get answers to prayer. When the Lord speaks to your heart you know it. Happenings are nice ( when you pray and see the physical provision ) but what a peace it brings to the soul to hear the Holy Spirits still small voice. I talk to the Lord all alone in bed every morning before I get up. The Lord reveals wonderful truths to me. It is exciting to know the Lord has met with you. Some mornings He says not a word to me, but I pour out my heart before Him and He comforts and assures me and brings me peace sweet peace.
Psa 4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
The Lord walks with me too. I can pray any time throughout my busy day and I know He is there, He does not always speak to my heart in definite ways throughout the day, but He does in small ways. If I'm in trouble I go to the Word of God and He is always faithful to speak to me there.
1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
If the Lord does not speak to your heart and guide your life, comfort your soul, and answer your prayers, I would first say check to make sure you truly are born again. Make your calling and election sure. If you are born again, but never hear the still small voice of the Holy Spirit, I would suggest you examine your heart, are you right with God? Are you walking in light? Does your life please the Lord? Do you have compromises in your life? Things that are questionable or out right displeasing to God? Examine thyself according to scripture before the Lord. After all one day you will stand before the Lord and your life will be judged by the Word. The Lord is real and he does speak to His dear children. If you are a child of God you are no different, God can speak to you too. He ( God) is no respecter of persons. Walk close to God live a pure life without compromise. Leave this world and it's ways behind. You are a child of the King of Kings you are different, called for His purpose to be used of God in this dark world, to be salt and light. Is your God just a club ( church) Mascot? The one you call when needed? The one you fit into your lifestyle, your desires, your like and dislikes? You know the clay god the one you mold to fit your life.
Or is He the Creator of all things including you, and the Mighty God the one who Rules Heaven and earth? The one who is all God, but put on flesh to walk among man. He is a loving God one who desires a personal, intimate relationship with you. Believe it and seek the Lord. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you.
If you think you have heard from the Lord and are not sure, line it up with the scripture. Doe it contradict scripture or line up with it? God will never tell you to go against scripture.
The Lord is Holy, therefore be ye Holy.
