Someone asked me in another thread what it was like for me to hear God and if it could be described.

So...I was wondering--how do all of you hear God's voice? How do you know when He's telling you something or wanting you to do something?
 
Here's what I said:

When He's showing me that He wants me to do something, He gives me a picture of whatever it is. That's why I made the ring. God's also done this recently with showing me that He wants me to help lead a women's ministry at my church this summer. He gave me a picture of me sitting with a group of ladies and we're all ministering to each other. It's really cool, actually (the pictures). I see them like I see a memory, I guess.

The other way (like when He spoke words to me about being His bride) is kind of through...thoughts? That's how I would describe it. I don't hear an actual voice, but I get a very clear thought that is not my own. And like thoughts, it can have a tone to it.
 
For me, when God speaks to me, I feel Him in my heart (it's easy for me to differentiate Him from me).

I experience that too.

Thoughts which are clearly not my own.

Also, answers to prayers for guidance being provided through other people.
 
Its the same for me too. I know when God speaks because it is distinctly different from my own voice/thoughts, and it never goes against His word.
 
If I feel an action is wrong or right by how I dwell on it or by conviction of the holy spirit-it's like a feeling inside for me-no I'm not a young adult,but wanted to respond anyway. /// I ALWAYS make descisions after confirmation by Praying first
 
A booming voice in my head that speaks with great authority and wonder. I've also had the picture thing but it was a vision of my future. I was sitting between a pew with a child praying for him...I looked 40ish. How interesting is that?
 
You know when you hear that little whisper in your head when youre about to do something bad- and it's Satan, right? "The evil whisperer"
I also believe God whispers :D He is my good whisperer! When i am praying i hear a voice in my head as a reply, sometimes i'm just like "I'm going crazy i'm answering all my questions!" but i know it's God.

Ahh! XD That is so sweet! I wonder if it was your child? That's so incredibly cool.
 
Ummm Im not alawys sure when I hear God's voice, I know he speaks but I get my desires and what he wants from me extremely confused. The one time though I definetly felt his presence was when I was going through my break-up and was in alot of pain and was confsued (still am at times) but I got this image of Jesus just embracing me, I started crying more than ever with the realization that he was there.

That's beautiful. :] I love this story and I think it's something a lot of people need to hear.
 
Every now and then, I relapse into those suicidal thoughts that I used to have when I was a teenager. At that time, it used to be mental images of people I know and love that would flash before my eyes before attempting. Now as days it's this small feeling and a small voice within my chest that tells me not to do it.

Listening to my heart within times of persoanl crisis seems to be God's voice.

Not quite sure though.
 
Im a slow thinker, especially when im trying to find an answer to something im having a problem with. I usually know its god when the answer comes right to me. Or sometimes he speaks to me through Dreams.
 
It's always the same voice. I can't really describe the voice, just the tone. Even and direct, pressing past all my own crowded thoughts and speaking exact and specific words. Telling me 'no' to this or explaining something that's been bothering me or encouraging me or chastising my foolishness. It's the voice of a Father, I think. :3 I love it.
