Talking with God?
mercie:
--- Quote from: eutychus ---greetings.
ever had the hairs stand or gotten goose bumps?
Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
i beleive God talks to us through the spirit.
this is tricky though and we must be carfull.
i have heard people say God told me to fast for 40 days, of coarse they fail and then are depressed and think unheathy thoughts.
had a friend who was searching and got involved with a denomination
i wont mention, and first he literally tried to gouge an eye out, two weeks later shot himself.
he had a problem with pornography.
we must be able to decern.
peace

No desire to hyjack the thread.
but this might be an interesting correlation .
resisting overloading with scripture.
You may find hairs being STOOD up being thoughts\words.
Stood Up being a key term , those of the positive.
God remembers all the Hairs on our head.
Recall Daniel, not a Hair singed.
Act 13:16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
But equally as the negative.
Act 25:18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
Jer 7:29 Cut off thine hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Pro 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD: but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words.
And many more connections also Chuckt
Apologies for the Hyjack

I too have heard the voice of God. The problem is though discerning between the voice of God and the voice of your own ego. Some time this had thing for me to do. As had as it is for me to do, it seem it is much harder thing for women to do. It is hard to reason with one, when they get the bit between their teeth, and keep saying, “ but God told me!�

I have too heard the calming, authoritive, loving voice of God.
And be led here for fellowship and out of the whore of babylon.
God bless and be at peace

Be Still
Be still and listen...
To that still small voice
That will tell you the truth
That will help you get through.
Be still and feel...
His greatness and power
And the love that He sends
It’s a love without end
Be still and know...
That He truly exists
That He gave us His son
That our souls might be won

I think it's something that we get better at (listening and discerning) over time, as we mature.

Wow. I really appreciate all the great comments and kind reassurances. Chrissie, thanks for sharing the poem; it's beautiful. rvhill, please understand that I am not specifically commenting on the 'but God told me' replies that we all sometimes hear (and say) when we want our own way. I find it mostly either says "no you don't need that, focus on and be grateful for what you have" or something along the lines of "I am in control. You are going to be okay". Not really directions or anything. At least not so far. And I think it is a challenge to understand what is real and what is our own egos (although I'm not sure I agree that women struggle more with that than men....but that could be because I am a woman :) ). We all have our own biases and struggles and I'm afraid that is one of mine. Thank you for your comment! It warms my heart to hear that others have these experiences as well. I thank God for leading me to this site and for all of you.
I love it: Be still and know that I am God. That's one of my favorite verses!!
