Wana appConnecting With God: A 5 Day DevotionalChikamu
I want to pause and say this: God speaks to YOU! He is always speaking, whether you are aware of it or not. God speaks to each and every one of us in a unique way. Learning to recognise His voice and hear from Him will require you to spend time in the word, to be more attentive, and to practice the art of listening.
A lot of people tend to overthink hearing from God. It can become overwhelming, and it doesn’t have to be. Personally, I often struggled to differentiate between whether it was just my thoughts or actually God.
First, recognise that how God speaks to one person will not necessarily be the same way He will speak to you. For that reason alone, you can’t compare or measure the frequency in which you hear from God with another person. Usually, the only notable difference is practice and/or spiritual maturity.
How does God speak?
God speaks in various ways, such as:
- Dreams
- Open visions
- A strong thought that comes to your mind
- Audible: It’s a familiar voice
- A strong knowing or impression (some call this intuition)
- Prompting: An urge and deep knowing
- Inner visions (Pictures)
From this list, can you identify how God speaks to you?
