John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
People sometimes ask me. How did you know when God speaks to you? I just know it, you will know when you experience it. Indeed it is true God speaks, there are no specific ways He speaks, because He is God and He can speak to us in different ways, we saw in the Bible He speak to His people through prophets, vision, dreams, natures, etc. Moreover in today’s world when we have Bible the word of God in our Hands we can just read it, what He has for us.
One incident I was so sure of God spoken to me was, back in 2020 before Covid hit India and I was in the college campus, for days I had noticed a very good friend being disturbed and was so sad, I want to encourage Him but never had an opportunity, so I had a Prayer for him at night asking God, please help Him he is so much in pain, and there is nothing I can do for him, Lord if it is your will please give me an opportunity to speak to him.
To my surprise! The next day, after breakfast, as I walk out from the dining hall, from nowhere he just came out in front of me, we meet and there was nobody there just the two of us, he said you had breakfast? I said yes, and suddenly I remembered the prayer I had prayed for him last night, so I realized it is God’s answer to my prayer, and it is He who gave me this opportunity, so I ask him how are you? He answer I am fine, I said don’t lie it is good to tell I am not okay when you are not… He said I am trying to be okay… I told Him it’s okay it happens sometimes, even I was going through a hard time last month, but I am fine now, don’t worry all these things will pass, you will be okay. We had small talk, but later I can see Him smiling once again, and recovered slowly.
There are many more incidents, where God spoke to me… my dear, try listening to Him today what he wants to say to you using not only your ears but your eyes, ears, heart everything in you, I bet you will know, it is Him speaking to you, but it should be according to the word of God. Don’t believe every word you hear Satan do speak.
