I might amend this to suggest that none of us always hears, but if you aren’t listening, you are lost.

Good post, Loveschild.


  1. Acts 28:27
    For the heart (the understanding, the soul) of this people has grown dull (stupid, hardened, and calloused), and their ears are heavy and hard of hearing and they have shut tight their eyes, so that they may not perceive and have knowledge and become acquainted with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their souls and turn [to Me and be converted], that I may heal them.

Hi everyone. It's Doc here.

Does anyone else have conversations with God inside their heads like this>>>>>

Doc: Dear Lord Jesus

Jesus: Hi Doc

Doc: Praise your name!

Jesus: Ok. Whats up?

Doc: Just wanted some guidance really....um....do you think I should sell my house and move closer to the town centre?

Jesus: It makes perfect sense.

Doc: Brilliant! Thanks Jesus.

Jesus: No probs. Anything else?

Doc: Nope. Done deal.

Jesus: Ok. I'll see you tomor....

Doc: Oh wait...How about the lottery numbers for next weeks draw?

Jesus: I told you I'm never gonna do that. It's not ethical.

Doc: Ok. Hey....God loves a tryer eh? LOLZ!!

Jesus: (**giggle**) Your a funny one Doc. Thats what I love about you.

Doc: Alright then Jesus. Check in with you tomorrow. Oh Jesus I love you so.

Jesus: Love you too buddy. Bye.

------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I have conversations like that but halfway through or immediately after I think to myself....maybe I was just talking to myself...using my God given common sense and reasoning to give back the answers that I think Jesus would give.

Thesedays I find I'm more comfortable just....like....talking to...and praising Jesus without Him actually answering at all.

What do you guys think?

Can we actually have 2 way conversations with God inside our brains?

Thanks::::::

Doc >>>>

Are you kidding me? this entire thread is about your claims and you never answer questions, all
you do is imply people are unsaved, by your standards. Whatever they are. So why cant
you explain your terms?

Hm , well, I guess for me, You know our concience, like when you do something good or bad, and you get that feelin in the pit of your gut? Well, when faced with decisions I need to pray over, FOR ME, If its the right thing, to me in my mind, and when I have prayed it out, well its Peace. If I havent prayed it out, or I want my way instead of the right way.....well, then theres that feeling, dreadful, restless, so, no he hasnt audibly spoken to me, course thats why I dont judge ppl as harshly as some think I should sometimes, Cause until he ( God) audibly says " lori, this is the way its gonna be", I wont, cause i dont want to get it wrong and mess someone up. Do I see him ( God)? Everyday, when I wake up and have a pulse, when I look at my kids or grandkids, when Im blessed enough to have a job to go to, a home to live in...so yea, I SEE him everyday.

You have a nice relationship with God. I hear him talk out of you lots of times. You hear him more than you realize.<smile>

God speaks and works within us and the fruits and works are evident in our lives

the good works in your life, the good thoughts, the love is it through God's grace or through your own means?

a conversation between God and man? here is an example...

Isaiah 6
5 So I said:


“ Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The LORD of hosts.”

6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:


“ Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin purged.”

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:


“ Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”

Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people:


‘ Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “ Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”

‘ Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
10 “ Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?”

this makes me want to cry

I think many are waiting for Linda to answer a question..to explain what she means
by "hearing Gods voice"

Im with Noahsmom. The innerman, the Peace of God, The conscience, and always theres
scripture to test with. Otherwise I walk by faith knowing my life has His providential hand
in it.


This is not the first time anyone has ever posted about hearing God. But here we go again. You can but books to help you understand they don't cost that much. I've said it several times but only people who want to understand do. Remember the book of God is for believers. We don't have to understand everything.

First off you seen noahsmom. She just knows. She doesn't need you or me telling her what shes feeling. And at any time she could ask God to talk to her so she hears his voice.

As far as hearing God from outside my body. Where you turn to look to see whose talking to you. One time the church I was at was going to go to another church at Christmas time to support the church in friendship. I got the day mixed up. I was there but no one else from my church.

God spoke out loud and said "they don't allow me to dwell here" I turned around to look who was talking to me. I realized it wasn't the people and God had just talked to me. I wanted to run out of there. I thought if they don't allow God in their church then who are they worshiping. They don't believe in the Holy Spirit.

As children we have the right and wrong inside of us. That is God.

He talks in your thoughts. Sounds like you. When you are close to God you have the mind of Christ. Really important to know Gods thoughts and your thoughts. You leading you gets you into big troubles.

He talks inside of you with his voice. His voice is a mans sounding voice. He gives you verses. He says what he wants. Whole pages of words of a word. Like I was in stress and he told me "be determined" Or another time something was happening and he told me" be of good cheer" He gave me the What If before. I will repost it. Don't know if you ever seen it.

He sends people to talk to you. It is God talking out of them right to you.

Even a smile. You could be going through a low time and people will smile at you. God does that.

To feel. God gives you feelings.

Thinking of someone. You could be going about your day and a person will come to your mind and you pray for them.

Pictures. God gives people pictures of others in their mind and we pray. Like one time I was given a snap shot of this young man and his family. I was to pray for them. Or he lets you see right into someones life. He showed me this old lady sitting in her bed. She had sores on her face. I think it was cancer. And a toddler size baby crawling on the bed. I was to pray.

Dreams, visions, his book, teachers, preachers, old story in the bible to Israel giving you warning to pay attention to what was told to them. So it can help you in your life today.

All kinds of ways. Have a good day!

16 yrs ago I went to hang myself, went to my garage stood on a box put the rope round my neck and from inside of me don't ask how I heard a voice say "look over here", I looked and to my amazement was a bible (my garage never was there one there I assure you) I looked at it and discounted it, but then that voice said " why dont you read it, you like true facts not fiction, you've never read it you can always do this tomorrow". That made sense so I went inside (was just a nt version) started with Matthew got to chptr 6 birds of the air, neither reap nor sow, the room exploded in light and the spirit of heaviness that was trying to kill me lifted and lifted and lifted and I was filled with peace, for three months til then I was at the gates of hell that I just so wanted to die.

18 mths later, going to a church, met a beautiful girl, gorgeous slinky and her mouth dripped with honey but her path led to death. I was captivated by her, my weakness come thru, next thing I knew I was having debaucherous sex with her often, going to church, no one knows and no one did, I'll be fine. A church leader comes up to me one day with a young girl I hadn't met nor ever seen at the church (700 people), said the girl pointed me out, she had a dream saw my face, she said to me "Jesus says to repent and stop what your doing, hell is real", in my arrogance and pride I said I'm fine. But my weakness for that honey dripping mouth of a girl had a hold of me, month later just on dawn, I was awoken by a voice externally in my ear at least half inch away say "repent"
Say no more, God still speaks.
Took me two years to stop running from God in guilt and shame but He never gave up on me, greatest good that come from my evil was learning just how much He cares and His mercy and grace to forgive me of my wretchedness.
Whenever I hear someone say heb 6:4 and give a interpretation of it I am amazed til this day, He knew I would fall into sin with that girl when He stopped me hanging myself , didn't stop Him then giving up on me.

Linda?
what must we do to be saved?

This post says nothing about being saved it is talking about Gods people hearing his voice. Keep on track. You always try to divert things don't you? Repent and ask for mercy. God loves you and his sheep hear his voice. How come you don't hear?

I dont think hearing Jesus speak will technically harm salvation. It may. I cant prove either way. (i know some peopel are hearign Jesus and they may not ever truly know that they are hearing Jesus)

Jesus tells me he loves me.

Literally.

I HEAR him in my spirit. Its a great thing to pray "LORD I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE", and then one day in prayer, crying for somone one's salvation I say "I love you Jesus" and I hear him say "I Love you too" The first time made me cry my eyes out. And the joy of the lord fell on me.

I really hate when people mock that. Because you are mocking somthing Holy and beautiful.

I KNOW there is counterfit. And know your afraid that Demons are talkign to you. But you ADMIT that Evil spirts can talk, so why not the HOLY SPIRIT?

Its really sad. Jesus talks. He sure does. Ask to hear him.

Thank you!<smile...made my day!>

once I needed a job, I got on my knees and I prayed to GOD, "Lord I really need a job, I have tried for 4 months on my own and still nothing, please help me, tell me what to do and I'll do it" and like a child I knew He would answer me. I kept my brain clear and didn't try to think of anything because I trusted the Lord to answer me. Then in my head and my heart came this message "help the Yoders" I knew who they were they bought the land next door and I saw them working outside sometimes, so I obediently said "okay" and I walked away and the next day I took a shovel over there and helped mr Yoder dig. Turns out he is a preacher. Within an hour his son drove up, he had spiritually clear eyes and a quick smile he seemed amused by the stranger working hard with his father. He said to his father "looks like you've got quite a worker here" his dad said "yep he came over just to help, he is quite a worker" anthony said" I can see that" it was the middle of the week and he asked me "do you have a job?" I said "no" he said are you looking?" I said yes, he said I just put an add in the paper for a mason's assistant, if you are interested the job is yours.

One day I stayed the night at my friends house and I was about to go to bed and God put it in my heart to read the bible. I knew it was Him because it was not something I had tried to think about, I just felt I needed to. So I asked Rob for a bible. He said he didn't have one. I asked about his mother he said no and she was at work. He handed me a book on martial arts. I took it to my room and again in my heart was this strong feeling to read the bible. I looked up and said matter of factly "I would love to read your word Lord, but if you want me to read the bible you will have to show me one" in the other room was an audible THUD where I knew was a bookshelf I rose from the bed and smiled knowing what I would find. I found books scattered where they had fallen with a large beatiful white bible in plain view in the pile.

one time I had been blinded in my eye by a thorn, I was yelling at GOD because I thought he had taken that which was mine and I coveted, my sight. In the middle of yelling at him he placed into my head 3 entire paragraphs of information that changed forever how I viewed life, he did it in the middle of my sentence, mouth still opened with words, He inturrupted me and it was faster than a computer download at the speed of lightening I knew every word and could repeat it verbatim for 3 months. God talks to us in many different forms.. Rule one, you must fully trust Him to answer you, Rule two, don't think when you wait. Rule 3, don't give Him a timeline be content to wait however long it takes rule 4 when He puts it in your head or on your heart don't question Him. Have the faith that even if you happened to be wrong you asked and truly believed it was from Him He will reward you for your faith.

Aaaww I love this...makes me want to cry and feel all warm and fuzzy!

ummm obviously not. I thought I made that clear, how could I while yelling a list of horrible things cut myself off mid sentence and tell myself 3 paragraphs of detailed information word for word in a flash? how could I tell myself to help people I'd never met and been lucky enough to accidentally have the good fortune to answer my own prayer?. Boy that was lucky and how could I tell myself to thump over books in the other room and talk myself into knowing where a bible was? thats ridiculous.

Preach it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe I hear Jesus' voice like the Scripture says. Does that make me someone for your proverbial stoning? I believe Loveschild can hear Jesus just like everyone who is born again. I guess you have a false doctrine that says no one can hear God's voice even though Jesus said they would in the Scriptures. Another cessationist false doctrine.

This thread is completely irresponsible. Noone doubts the power of God to save and deliver or work in our
lives. But to tell people if they dont hear God they dont know God...is just horrible to me. Horrible.:(
