If you have any doubt as to whether or not you’re hearing the Holy Spirit, you’re probably not. But all you need to do is JUST LISTEN … right now … and watch the doubt fade away!
I’m going to go out on a limb for you – because I love you and I’d like to help you jumpstart this communication that you crave. It’s critical that you bear in mind that it’s not God who needs to be jumpstarted: it’s you (or, rather, your receptivity). Sometimes we can get very, very quiet and ready to listen intently – and then we don’t hear anything.
Now, of course you know, we’re not talking about an audible voice but an undeniable communication from Him to you in your spirit. Let’s get back to that jumpstarting thing: What does He call you? Yes, that’s right, how does He address you? By your first name? He usually does so with me although He has some wonderful affectionate terms that He sometimes uses.
Anyway, try this. Imagine this is God speaking to you in your spirit. He says, [imagine it] “Robin, I have something to tell you …….” You’d be amazed at how easy it will be for you to continue the sentence!
Do I hear you protesting that it isn’t God that’s speaking, but yourself? Nope, you’re wrong! First of all how far apart are you? He lives on the inside of you! Secondly, your imagination is a powerful tool that the Holy Spirit (God) uses to communicate with you. And, thirdly, you’re only using it to jumpstart your own receptivity, right?
When you get that communication fully under way with God, you’re bound to become nearly overcome – with joy! (I thought I’d better warn you, ‘cuz Daddy [Abba, Father, God] can get very chatty! He loves to tell you in great detail just how much He loves you. When He gets done telling you how much you mean to Him, you’ll realize that all those astronomical problems that you had before have become very, very insignificant. Don’t be surprised if they become healed – every one of them!
So, remember, when doubt slips in, you just jumpstart it out!
Yes, you can jumpstart a communication with God!
