When the HOly Spirit first entered into me, my heart and mind, I was given to fellowship with a small charismatic group.
I praised God with them and it was very pleasant, but when the small group gathered and I would hear the "elder" or leader start in saying "We are going to have the Holy Ghost here" as though he were attempting to draw God into the assembly I thought it odd because I felt I was in the Presence. Then he would announce a (healing" and soon after a woman was brought in for us to pray for, which I gladly did. The woman came to ma afterwards and asked me why she could not be healed. She also told me she wanted to serve God, so all I could tell her or adviser her was fairly simpoe.."serve God in the manner given you, be it in prayer, teaching, sharing HIs love in all manner, and you will be better or you will be worse. He will determine all for you.
I reaalize that was simplistic sounding, but I had already been used as a vessel for His work in severl ways that were only explainable as miraculous and after also.
I believe He speaks to us all, but like Samuel at first, and because we, like Samuel are too humble at times to realize He is speaking do not hear Him. I have heard Him on several occasions, though not many for my 70+ years, and I know if He speaks to me, He speaks to anyone. May you hear Him , or understand you already have, in the manner He chooses to speak to you, in Jesus christ's most beloved name, amen.
I remember that for years, when I was in the charismatic church, that I thought God was trying to tell me things but was not able to get through, I do not believe that way at all anymore. If God wants to get through to you He will. On the other hand, it is possible for us to ignore the leading of the Spirit simply because God is telling us what we don't want to hear. I remember a particular ministry that was teaching a false doctrine and they were praying vehemently that if they were in any error that God would show them. Well shortly after that, I was watching the program one morning and in the space of half an hour, seven people called in and explained why the false doctrine they were teaching was false(something I had never witnessed before), anyway, they just blew it off by saying, we don't believe that here. So God answered their prayer but because the answer came through human voices they rejected it.
