I think the Lord is constantly communicating with each of us. Are we making the effort to listen?

Ive always worried about how people percieve me as a christian and a woman when I say I have the gift of prophesy. It started of as me just being very intune to peoples feelings and that is how I communicate as well. I recognise pain and joy in those around me like a person can taste sweet and sour things. Sometimes, I would just be praying in church by myself or during a worship service and I say "God use me, I open myself to you." Its always unpredictable for me, I have never tried to compartmentalise how and when it happens to me. It used to freak me out at first because sometimes Id get stuff go into my head like a movie reel of someone I dont even know or an image of some kind. Most of the time it is really painful stuff which I personally recognise and empathise with so I go to the person and just ask to pray for them. I've told a few people what I was told and they just freak out and say "How do you know that?!!" And look at me like Im a weirdo. I also frequently get prophetic dreams, which are the most brilliant (and sometimes terrifying) experiences Ive had. These have usually occurred just for my benefit as the message is just for me. And they're always extremely vivid and real and the voice I hear is like someone standing right next to me and talking normally and the funny thing about this is that there is always a conclusion or a 'moral of the story' kind of ending as if Gods saying - So what are you going to do with what Ive just shared with you? And Im always abrubtly woken up afterwards. Which is amazing really as Im such a heavy sleeper and it takes quite a lot of noise to wake me up.

Im aware that many people and churches are extremely wary of prophesy as it can be misused so easily. I dont like ignoring this gift as I genuinely see it as very useful and St Paul did say it was the most useful and sought after of all spiritual gifts. But at the same time, I dont go shouting on about it. Im am young in terms of knowledge and experience with it so I never presume to know everything and I dont like demanding the gift and expecting it to come on cue or something. I try to work on Gods schedule so, I can go a couple of weeks without getting something and other times I might have something come to me five days in a row. Ive also been getting support by my pastor on using it and being aware of spiritual warfare and how that affects it etc etc.

A lot of people just dont believe. Thats fine I guess, I'll leave you to your opinion but whenever someone puts me down on this I just say :

"I will pour out my spirit on all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." Joel 2:28

Actually, I believe you. I know with God anything is possible.

I have felt God speaking to me lots of times. I have had one very crazy one that I will share. It is where I was kinda somewhat prophesised over.

It was at camp this year, we had an altar call, and I went up and wsa really feeling God moving through me, I would lay hands on people at the altar, and they would be filled with the Holy Spirit, one person was even slain in the spirit. I just felt God moving through me, it was awesome to watch, but I could sense some selfishness rising in me, I eventually stopped praying with people and just started to call out to God, asking for more of him in my own life. I was praying and worshipping for a while, and than another teen came over and layed his hand on my shoulder, and instantly I just felt God seep to every corner of my body, it was amazing. Than he just started to speak words into my ear. the teen was telling me that God saw me praying for others, and that he wanted me to get a little touch of God in my own life. he kept going on, and I can't remember it all, but i wish I could. Then he just ended by saying that thousands will come to know Christ through me. So, at this point I was feeling REALLY good, than later that night, the doubting Thomas started kicking up. So the next day I went and asked this kid if it was god that had told him to say that, and he had no recolection of telling me anything. The other crazy thing is, he did this with over 10 other teens there, all with different words of wisdom, all he never remembers. I truly feel that that was God talking to me.

God talks to me in different ways. He talked out loud one time when I was at this church. I turned to look to see who was talking to me. He told me they don't allow me to dwell here. I wanted to run out of that church. He talked in a voice inside of me before and I know it sounds wierd but he put metal bracelets on my wrist (not where anyone could see them, but I felt them) he told me this is how the church lets him be there. They bind him. Another church he talked again and did the same thing with the metal on my wrist but this time he criss crossed my hands over my chest and said the church does that to him. I was looking for a church to go to. I didn't go to those anymore. One time a lady walked by me with a lil baby he talked and told me the baby was going to die. I didn't think it was God so I pushed it away. A couple months later that sars sickness was going around and the baby got bad sick. Then I realized it was God and he was warning me to help. So I got ahold of other churches for them to pray for the baby. Then his 2 sisters got sick. They were all in the hospital about to die. I kept praying. A hospital for us is 2 hours away. I was going to visit my daughter in the town where the hospital was and wanted to check on the kids. I didn't get to go the first day. The Lord told me I better get over there they are going to send the girls home. I got over there and the girls were sent home and the baby was going to go home the next day. One time I was having a hard time going thr a storm, I kept asking God to help me. I told him I needed to hear from him. He said be determined. Those were in voices. He talks to me all the time in my thoughts. I pray for his thoughts, his will not my will. One church I was at he told me they worship the Pastor. He told me if they turn their faces agaisnt me how long until I turn my face agaisnt them. He said time is short until he comes. He talks in his word. He'll send other people to you to tell you something. He's talking when he sends a pretty butterfly right by you when your feeling sad. He talks all the time if we'll listen. He stops talking to people when they keep ignoring him. He has said people better get rid of all their hate, unforgiveness, jealousy, on and on. He is cleaning house right now. He is searching for his people. The most people he sees say they are his children and they are full of ugliness and he is fed up to hear with and showed me the entrance to hell they will go thr. He cries so hard and he lets me feel him cry it is horrible. He wants no one to go to hell. He is asking for people to repent and turn from their ugliness. Or they will go to hell.

I believe that God has spoken to me 4 times; twice in my mind, once through someone else, and once through an answer to a prayer.

The 2 times I believe He spoke directly to me, it was like no calm I have ever felt before. The circumstances were both to do with me panicking, berating myself for my mistakes. I felt like I had single handedly ruined my life and someone else's in one situation; the other, it was just a really, really bad couple of weeks.

These were the words: "Enough! I am Lord!" Which I knew immediately meant that I was being ridiculous and that He created me, He knew what I'd done, He knew before I was even born that I WOULD do it, and that in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't the drama I was making it out to be.
"Even the hairs on your head are numbered, child." I knew that was His way of telling me He loves me and I wasn't suffering needlessly.

I say that I BELIEVE God spoke to me, because it wasn't like an obvious, booming voice from Heaven...just a quiet, seemingly random thought. But as I have never referred to myself as 'child', nor have I ever had the sense to stop myself in the middle of a panic attack and remind myself that He is Lord, the only other explanation I have is that He spoke to me.

And as I said, it is an intense, sudden calm; the problems and emotions don't disappear, but the knowledge that He "has my back" so to speak, is absolutely amazing.
It is unforgettable.

Awesome QwiOt look at these other Scriptures Jer.31:33-34. Prov.6:22.Isa.54:13-15. as in the book of Acts the coming of the Holy Spirit will leave with in the same way the eyes of many will wait since we can't see it the senses of many will awaken before the coming of our Lord.
You are a Christian you belong to the Creator Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit and your body is temple of that same Spirit as is in the book of Acts. the Spirit can speak to where you can hear and He works in a way beyond our comprehension. May God Bless you and keep you He Loves you. Beyond any human comprehension

Everyone has the chance to hear and talk to God!

"Seek and you will find."

He mainly speaks through the Bible and never contradicts it! : D
