Well for many years, I've always wondered how people find out what god reveals to them! Like does god really speak to them aloud or something and like what is the sound of his voice? And throughout my 4 years of youth ministry, I always wondered if god would ever speak to me on a regular basis, because there were like once or twice when he told me the name of my youth group, but I always want god to talk to me everyday!
But for god to talk you, you need alot of stuff. Firstly, you need the desire to really want to know god and be more like him. We also need to pray and be rooted in prayer. Next, we need to practice talking to god regularly like every minute. We also need to be able to figure out what our heart is telling us and what our mind is telling us, where normally our mind tells us what we want hear but our heart is gentle and tells us the truth which is from god! I feel that the best thing that god has given us is our hearts, because that’s where god really speaks to us! But the sound of god's voice for everyone is different and he speaks to us all differently!
At first, I was really unsure of whether it was really god speaking to me and that brings me to the finally thing we need, which is a sharing group or a cell group where I've received alot of affirmation of the revelations and for this I wanna thank my cell cause every single one of them have played a part in all my revelations from god! So ya we need the support of fellow believers of Christ, cause its there we will get alot of strength to carry on striving for god and constantly changing ourselves in character to seek god better!
And when I'm unsure about something that god has revealed to me, I just claim in faith about the message from god as much as possible, I lift it up at the mass. And god always confirms the message through affirmations or messages from other but we must be really sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit! Also patience is really important because god works in his time not ours! But even I have my failures and weaknesses as god is still molding me! Yup!
I hope this answers you petrina! Let me know! Thanks!
