When God Speaks to Us

This morning, I started my day with God by reading a few days worth of my favorite book, “Jesus Calling” by Sarah  Young.  I’ll admit, I fell behind a bit and have some catching up to do.  God knew that, as He knows everything, and as always, He spoke to me this morning and actually challenged me with a few tasks for today.  Yesterday, I wanted something to Blog about, but nothing was coming to me.  I prayed last night, and this morning it became clear.  When God speaks to us in that soft voice we hear in our heads, we should always act on His plan!

How many times have you heard in your head things you should do, but just brushed it off?  I was always told as a kid that there is a good guy on your shoulder and a bad guy on the other, and that we should always brush off the bad guy.  Today, I know that good guy is God and the bad guy, is the devil.  I don’t know about you, but I always want the good guy to win! When we are hearing all of these negative thoughts in our head, who do you think that is? It’s the devil trying to pull us down! God is on our side, fighting for our attention. When you give your attention to God, God gives you the answers!  He is fighting for us, so we should fight to remain faithful!

Push those negative thoughts out of  your head.  No matter how bad your situation is, there has got to be something to be grateful for!  Don’t stop until you find that one thing to be grateful for and then hone in on that thought.  Then when you feel yourself slipping back to the negativity, hone back in on that one positive thought.  Close your eyes and ask God to help you remain positive even though you may be feeling otherwise.

While we are waiting for the tides to turn in our favor, we need to make preparations for the change with expectancy in our hearts!  If we continue to believe it’s not going to happen, or something bad is going to happen instead…more than likely you are correct because you are allowing that negative thought to exist.  Instead, ask God for what you need, act with expectancy that it will be and know without a shadow of a doubt that if it is His Plan, then it will be.  If it is not His Plan, then trust that He has a better plan.  Get over the fact that it didn’t happen the way that you planned, and know His plan is better, and it’s on the way.  It may take a little longer than you thought, but it is coming.

When you act with expectancy, the wait isn’t that bad because you know it is coming. Sometimes the anticipation is even more exciting than what you are actually waiting for! Think about it.  Remember how exciting it was waiting for vacation to get here and then, just like that – it was over?  You had more fun in your head dreaming and planning everything you were going to do. It got you through those bad days just knowing your vacation was coming. It’s time to put your faith to work and start believing, start expecting good things to happen, and take actions to prepare for His Will to be done! Listen to what He is saying, for He is the ‘good guy’ on your shoulder guiding you and preparing you for a life of abundance.  Don’t let the bad guy win!

We are a mother and daughter team following God's lead to inspire others. The inspiration for all of our work began in 1980. My mother suffered from a nervous breakdown after suffering for five years before she experienced a miraculous healing where God breathed life back into her and did what the doctors couldn't. Since 1980, it has been our goal to tell her story and share her testimony; however, things always seemed to get in the way. Fast forward 35 years forward and God began giving us signs that now was the time. Both of us had received signs from God over the years, and in 2014 it was apparent that it was time to finally move forward with our writing journey. I started documenting my signs from God, and then one day after praying to God I heard this relentless voice urging me to put a post on Facebook asking others for their signs from God and their loved ones. This was way out of my comfort zone, but I listened to that voice, and could not believe the outcome. The stories started flowing in so fast I couldn't keep up with them. It was apparent this was a God-driven task, and the outcome was amazing. I had never written a book before, but God led me every step of the way until it was published. Signs come in many different forms, and this book captures many of them from pennies, to feathers, to dreams, dream visits, and even spiritual encounters. It will leave you wanting to hear more, and we have so much more to tell! This book includes my mother's testimony of her miraculous healing, and it is now our goal to depict those five agonizing years of her life into a biography. You will be able to relive with us that horrific ordeal through the eyes of the mother who was trapped in her own body, and the daughter watching her once loving mother, now in a catatonic state-of-mind during a very vulnerable age when she needed her mother the most. This has been the driving force behind our writing journey and all of the inspirational messages we wish to share with others that may be struggling or needing to recognize their own signs from God.
