I'm very curious, often skeptical, when people say that God is 'speaking' to them. People seem to say this quite flippantly, and I'm not always sure what they mean. i.e. "God told me to talk to this person" or "God told me to buy this house".
For me, I can't recall ever having the experience of God actually speaking to me, as in, me hearing a booming voice telling me to do something.
God's communication with me so far has been the placing of thoughts in my mind in response to prayer, thoughts which are answers or solutions to problems that I know I couldn't have thought of myself. Also, placing heavy burdens on my heart, urging me to do something which I know I should be doing. I know that this is not just my 'conscience' telling me to do what is 'right' because what God wants and what is 'the right thing to do' aren't always the same.
How has God communicated with you?
If you think God has actually spoken to you in audible words, I'd like to hear about it.
