It's just like, this feeling that I really need to do something. For no particular reason, I don't know why, but He'll have me sit by someone or something. I don't have God speak like, in a voice, but also sometimes I get these words in my mind, just as real as if he had said them, and uddually they're comforting or something, or scripture. And then also, this really isn't a form of 'speaking' to me, but bible verses will pop out. like, I don't know, closer to literally than you might take that -- they just like, look more forward than others. But that hasn't happened for a while, so maybe it's not how he's doing it anymore. Ussually 'thought words,' or just strong feelings.

-TheGodfather-090 i think my church is haunted cause i saw a person over a suitcase looking at me when i blinked they were gone ... that's very, very different from God speaking to you.

Maybe God doesn't speak to me directly, but I know, all the things I do is no accident, that there is God above, that is the One helping me do right.

Personally, I think that God speaks to us indirectly through other people. The people that change our lives. This can be anyone, be they family, friends, complete strangers, and even enemies. How you react and develop relationships with these people is your reply, which starts the whole thing over again.

Boa Hancock sama Well, He kind of has a unique... voice... I can't really describe it though. I agree there. The "voice" of God is impossible to describe... And yes, there have been times (which happened on a few occasions, but not much anymore) for me, when I can literally "hear" God talking to me. Call me schizo, but there have been times when I feel like there's a verbal war between my sinful nature and God's truth, happening right here in my head. (This is a little exaggerated, obviously. I'm not actually mentally ill, though sometimes I feel like I'm not quite... normal.) I feel like God has always had a hands-on relationship with me to help counter the doubt that plagues me every now and then. The doubt only lasts for a few seconds, because then I remember how much God has done for me, and literally spoken to me. But though that happened relatively frequently (mostly when I needed it), some times, God has spoken to me in more subtle ways. Being a musically-oriented person, a song is almost always running through my head. Sometimes I feel that God puts a song in my head to speak to me indirectly. The words speak to me, though I can't seem to remember any specific instances of this at the moment. Actually, though, it has been quite a while since God spoke to me directly. It's becoming much more indirect: Satan will try to get me to believe something wrong or put a bad thought in my head and some Scripture will pop into my head and cut down Satan's lies. It's very helpful to read the Bible every day 3nodding

I hear from God almost everyday. Its hard to describe but its as real to me as the voices I hear from people, some would say its your conscious but for me its more than that....when He says things to me His words are like a 2 edged sword and I remember them. For instance the first time I heard Him I was what most would describe as a baby in Christ. A man in the church would pray all these long prayers using lots of thees and thous and peppering them with an occassional Scripture.At the time I thought it was beautiful. I was in tears praying asking God to teach me to pray like that. Very softly God said to me "I will be impressed with your words when you can turn them to flesh." (As He did the Word) I WAS LIKE WHOA! That Word rang so true in my spirit and showed such depth of truth that I never talked to God the same way again. Now I talk to Him just as I am you now. I even yell at Him. Why not He knows what I feel in my heart anyway. Some times God will give me what the charismatics refer to as a Word of Knowledge. Info that I wouldnt have known. 3 times He used me like that to find missing children or provide information that was used by the police or FBI in finding them. Most times when He gives me a prophetic word for someone it is a warning and it always comes to me almost in the style of Isaiah. (Words and phrases I dont usually use)
God can speak to each of us in many ways, through people, circumstances, books and the Bible. But like has been said in other posts IT MUST ALWAYS LINE UP WITH SCRIPTURE!

I would also caution that if someone says that they have a "prophetic voice" and have a prophesy for you to weigh it heavily. Yes God tells us as individuals that He loves us. But rarely have I heard a true prophetic word where God tells a person that He loves them through someone else (which is what a great many "self proclaimed prophets" will put somewhere in their words.) I once asked God why that was and He said "I already told them.....I sent my Son."
The true gift of prophesy is quite often a HEAVY Gift to bear and a hard gift to learn to walk in. Satan and his cohorts will try to convince you that you arent hearing from God, and people that dont understand this gift will malign you.

Does anybody here watch Ghost Hunters?
No, no, I'm not advocating or disputing the concept of ghosts, and I'm not trying to get anyone to look away from God and towards lesser spirits ... so you people calm down. *Glares at one in particular.* Especially you.
On the show, quite frequently, the TAPS people will have what they call "personal experiences", things that don't show up on camera or on EMF detectors. Could be a voice Grant hears that Jason doesn't, could be an unaccountable creepy feeling, could be just a case of bad timing (the camera was pointed elsewhere). When they report their findings to the client, they admit that these things happened, but they don't submit them as evidence. Evidence has to be documented, theoretically reproducible events. It's not "proof" of anything unless you can prove it happened.
Fact ... is not subjective.
Now, there's a reason I bring this up, and it ties back to something Deidra said: "it must always line up with Scripture". The Bible is our "documented proof"; more than that, it's our acid test. If we hear God's voice, or think we hear God's voice, then it needs to be tested in the light of the Bible.
"Test all things. Hold fast to the good; avoid everything that looks evil". The Bible gives a number of "tests" to prove that a spirit or message is of God ... and even though we're not to put the Lord our God to the test, I think He can understand our desire to be certain.
Because truth ... is not subjective. As Christians, we know only one truth. "I am the way, the truth, and the life ... " The Word of God (Jesus) lines up with the Word of God (the Bible). If any message is claimed to be from God, but it doesn't line up with these two ... it's a lie. I get in mild trouble in class from time to time because of that. Our "morals of the dojo" includes the phrase "I will defend the paths of truth" ... "paths", plural. I get in trouble because I only say "path", singular. Since our current teacher is a Christian, though, he doesn't fuss much. He knows there's only one truth, and he knows why I do it.
Hypothetically speaking ... and I'm going to pick on Deidra here, just out of convenience ... if Deidra here claims to have a message to me from the Almighty, I'll certainly hear -- excuse me, read the message ... but I'm going to ask for evidence, too.
If she were to reveal something about me that's not available online, such as my real name ... eh, definitely interesting, definitely evidence that something outside the norm is happening ... but that could come from a demon just as easily as from the Lord (again, Deidra, this is purely hypothetical; don't be offended, and don't think I mean any disrespect to God), or she could be a real whiz at online research (she'd have to be; I've taken precautions against my name becoming public knowledge).
If, however, the alleged message reflects back on the Bible, and is supported by Scripture ... then I'll actually give it consideration. Because then it's starting to look like it might actually be from God.
Yes, I'm a skeptic. A firm believer in the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ, but a skeptic regarding anything in the realm of human experience. I know how easy it is to fool human senses and sensibilities, most definitely including mine own. I'd never hack it as a prophet; I'd spend too much time wanting to confirm whatever messages I was told to pass on.

I dont mind the picking at all Bait. I completely agree with everything you said. Had it not been for the depth of the Truths God spoke to me confirming His Word (Before I even knew that He would talk to me like that) or the fact that knowledge unknown to me was confirmed after I spoke of it. I would have been a skeptic as well. Infact I would have thought someone who told me these stories was a little off. Even now I sometimes question things out of fear that I might say "God said" and it not have been God at all. That is in part what I meant when I said that this gift is a heavy weight to carry sometimes.
In the case of one little girl that was found, I questioned myself at every move because it was the first time God had used me like this. I was simply praying over a stack of prayer request sent to a local TV station. When I got to this one my prayer suddenly changed. I knew in my innermost being that God knew where this child was and I said simply "God tell me where she is." No prayer no nothing. He gave me the name of a city in Ill. that I had never been to or heard of. My husband got out an atlas and sure enough that little city was on it." We couldnt believe it. So...I took the whole thing to my Pastor, again questioning myself...How could this be?. He insisted that I call the people or else he would. So finally I mustered the courage and gave them a call. It turned out the other party was a Christian PI working the case, and of course I was met with skeptism and I felt pretty foolish. In the middle of the conversation God told me to ask them if they knew what kind of vehicle she was taken in. I figured "what will it hurt? They already think I'm a whack job? So I asked. They replied "No" God then told me to tell them what kind it was. When I relayed that info, I heard the phone drop to the floor and the lady scream "She is for real!" Turns out they did know the make of the car and it was the one piece of evidence they had withheld even from the FBI. And there were only 2 of those vehicles of the same make, color and model and year in the state, so it wasnt just something I pulled out of the hat. The story goes on with many more confirmations but I will cut this short by saying that the little girl was eventually found through the things that God told me over a course of several months. And He knows I will question it every time He reveals something to me...because He told me in His Word thats how it should be.
