7 Physical SIGNS God is Trying To TALK TO YOU URGENTLY (NEVER IGNORE)

Imagine going through your normal day when you suddenly start feeling a strong nudge from God. In this video, we'll explore seven different signs that God may be trying to speak to you. Sign number one. You keep hearing the same message repeatedly. One of the common ways God tries to get your attention is by repeating certain messages or scriptures over and over again. For example, imagine you listen to a sermon about having integrity. Later that day, you open your Bible and your eyes fall on Proverbs 11, 3 which says, the integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity. Then the next morning at church, the worship leader prays about having integrity and purity in all we do. That afternoon, you turn on the radio and the preacher is talking about integrity from the life of Joseph. At that point, you have to stop and ask yourself, is God trying to tell me something here about integrity? There is a very high likelihood of God trying to pass that message to you. The problem is if you ignore that message, there will be a high chance of something going wrong if you disobey. Sometimes God even highlights the same exact verse over and over until you get it. Sign number two. You have a lack of peace about something. As followers of Christ, we can be rest assured God will grant us supernatural peace about the issues and decisions in our lives as we seek him. Philippians 4, verse seven promises that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. But if you find yourself lacking peace about a major decision or situation, that's a clear sign to stop and reflect on what you're doing and wait for God's direction. For example, maybe you want to marry someone, but for some reason you keep feeling very strong resistance in your spirit. That is God telling you to proceed with caution. You just can't shake the feeling that something is off. Chances are in those moments, God is speaking to you through that lack of peace. He may be saying, no, address these concerns or take a moment to wait. God uses that inner unrest as a form of guidance and protection. You would have gotten into far less trouble if you had learned to obey the small, still voice in your spirit. So the next time you're feeling confused or anxious about a decision, be still before the Lord, ask him to make his will clear and assure you of the next steps. That lack of peace is there for an important reason, to alert you that you need to seek his face regarding what's best. Sign number three, you're going through a difficult trial. It's counterintuitive, but sometimes God can use difficult trials to get your attention. When everything is going smoothly, you may tend to coast along in your faith. You might even begin to feel like you no longer need God's input. But when a crisis hits, sickness, job loss, a family tragedy, suddenly your desperate need for God comes back into sharp focus. Hard times have a way of turning our gaze back to Jesus when the world stops making sense. For example, imagine you got a new job and all of a sudden you became too busy to pray fast or even go to church. Then a few months later, you lost that job. This loss isn't to hurt you, but it is to bring you back to yourself that you can do nothing without the grace of God. Trials have a way of humbling us and reminding us how much we need him. Trials take many shapes, financial disaster, health crisis, or a loss, but God doesn't intend them to defeat us. Rather, he allows them to get our attention so we'll draw closer to him and let him refine our faith. James chapter 1 verses 2 to 4 tells us, Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Sign number four through an open rebuke. You know the saying, the truth hurts. Nowhere is that more accurate than in the spiritual realm. If someone confronts you about an area of your life that's in need of change, don't dismiss it. That may well be God using that person as his mouthpiece. Sometimes you might have discovered that some people do things and get away with it, but when it comes to you, you always somehow get caught out. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses. In other words, listen to those who truly care about you and often correct you when you go wrong. Sometimes their words might really hurt you, but God is using them to keep you conscious of your lifestyle. Now, your natural tendency may be to get defensive, but what if God is using your friend to protect you from the consequences of unchecked sin? Those kinds of rebukes are gifts, though painful. They help pull us back from the wrong paths. Don't despise God's correction when it comes through a caring friend, and be quick to listen, receive it humbly, and make any changes God leads you to in response. Those moments position us for growth. Sign number five. You have recurring dreams or visions. This may seem strange, but God does sometimes speak through dreams or visions even today. While not all dreams might be inspired by God, God can and does use them to communicate his truths and give timely warnings or information. For instance, remember the example of Joseph and Pharaoh in Genesis. God gave them repeated dreams about the future. In Acts 16, Paul had a powerful vision from God directing him to take the gospel to Macedonia. Today, God may still give visionary dreams to expand our capacity. Like the business leader who dreams of a bold new initiative that creates thousands of jobs. Or visions reminding us of our purpose. Like the downhearted mother up all night with a sick child who suddenly sees a vision of future generations who will be impacted by her commitment to her family today. Sign number six. You have a strong impression to do something. Have you ever had a strong, undeniable urge come over you out of nowhere to reach out to someone in need? Maybe call a friend whose name suddenly comes to mind, offer to pray for a stranger, give money to a certain cause or person, share words of scripture with someone who's hurting. If you experience those promptings from the Holy Spirit, it's so important to follow through rather than talk yourself out of it. When you obey what may seem like a random thought, incredible blessings often result. You just might make an eternal difference in someone's life. Think of Philip in Acts 8. An angel spoke to him and instructed him to go down a specific road where he providentially encountered an Ethiopian official searching for truth. Philip explained the gospel and the man gave his life to Christ on the spot. What if Philip had ignored the nudging? When you feel that urge to step out in faith, whether to donate to a ministry, apologize to someone, or strike up a spiritual conversation in line at the store, do it. God sovereignly engineered that divine appointment. You get to play a role in his amazing plan. Of course, use wisdom and always check selfish motives. But a truly spirit-led impression will align with scripture and bear good fruit. As you walk in obedience to those promptings, you'll experience the supernatural joy of partnering with God's work in the world. Sign number 7. You have a persistent conviction of conscience. One sure sign God wants your full attention is when he keeps bringing something to your conscience over and over again until it's made right. For example, let's say you had a serious argument with a friend, and as a result of that, you cut ties with that person. But after some time, you discover that your conscience keeps hitting you hard to apologize. This will continue to persist until obey God's instructions. 1 John 3 verses 21 to 22 says, Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we keep His commands and do what pleases Him. Don't ignore a conscience weighed down by unresolved issues. Let your heart be sensitive to follow through. As 1 John 1 verse 9 assures us, If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God disciplines those He loves, and the conviction of a burdened conscience means He's appealing to you to walk uprightly, so nothing hinders your relationship with Him. Let us now transition into a time of powerful prayer, trusting that God will open your spiritual ears and speak directly to your heart. Heavenly Father, I come before You now on behalf of Your child who is seeking to hear Your voice more clearly. I thank You that You are not a distant God, but one who delights in communicating with Your children. Your Word declares in the book of Psalms chapter 94 verse 9, He that planted the ear shall he not hear? He that formed the eye shall he not see? Lord, I thank You that You have created us with the capacity to hear You. I pray now, in the mighty name of Jesus, that You would open the spiritual ears of Your child, just as You opened Lydia's heart to respond to Paul's message in the book of Acts chapter 16 verse 14. I ask that You would open their heart to receive Your voice. Remove every obstruction, every preconceived notion, every fear that might be hindering their ability to hear You clearly. Lord, Your Word tells us in the book of James chapter 1 verse 5, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. I stand on this promise and ask for an outpouring of divine wisdom and discernment for Your child. Give them the ability to distinguish Your voice from all others. I pray against every spirit of confusion and deception that may be clouding their spiritual hearing. In the name of Jesus, I rebuke and silence every voice that is not of You. As it is written in the book of Isaiah chapter 54 verse 17, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. I declare that no false prophecy, no lying spirit, no deceptive thought shall prevail against Your child. Father, I ask that You would amplify Your voice in their life. Let Your words resound with clarity and power, as You promised in the book of Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21, And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Let your guidance be unmistakable, your direction undeniable. Lord, cultivate in Your child a hunger for Your Word, for it is through Your Word that we learn to recognize Your voice, as the Psalmist declared in Psalms chapter 119 verse 103, How sweet are Thy words unto my taste, yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Let Your Word be their delight, their meditation day and night. I pray for a spirit of revelation and understanding to rest upon them. As Paul prayed for the Ephesians, I pray now that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, as written in the book of Ephesians chapter 1 verses 17 to 18. Father, I ask that you would sharpen their spiritual senses, train their ears to recognize the nuances of Your voice. Let them, like Samuel, learn to say, Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth, as recorded in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 3 verse 9. Give them the courage to respond when you call, and the obedience to act on what they hear. Lord, I pray for protection over their spiritual hearing. Guard them against the noise of this world that seeks to drown out Your voice. As it is written in the book of Proverbs chapter 4 verse 23, Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. Help them to guard their heart, to create space for stillness, where they can hear You clearly. I ask for an increase in their prayer life. Teach them to wait on You, to listen as much as they speak. Let them experience the truth of Your word in Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 12, 13, which says, Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you, and ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Father, I pray that you would reveal your mysteries to your child. As it is written in the book of Daniel chapter 2 verse 22, He revealeth the deep and secret things, he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Uncover the hidden things, reveal your secrets, show them the treasures stored in darkness. Lord, I ask for a fresh anointing of your Holy Spirit. Let your Spirit bear witness with their spirit, confirming your voice in their inner being. As it is written in the book of Romans chapter 8 verse 16, The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. I pray for discernment to test every spirit, as we are instructed in the book of 1 John chapter 4 verse 1. Give your child the wisdom to know when it is you speaking, and when it is not. Let them not be deceived by counterfeits, but let them recognize your voice with certainty. Father, I ask that you would speak to them through dreams and visions, as you promised in the book of Joel chapter 2 verse 28, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Finally, Father, I pray that hearing your voice would become as natural to them as breathing. Let it be a constant moment-by-moment communion. Fulfill your promise in the book of Isaiah chapter 58 verse 9, which says, Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer. Thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. I thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness in answering this prayer. I trust that you are even now opening the spiritual ears of your child, tuning their heart to your frequency, and preparing to speak to them in ways that will leave them in awe of your goodness and love. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Remember, beloved, that God is always speaking. As you put these prayers into practice, expect to hear His voice more clearly than ever before. He has so much He wants to reveal to you, so many mysteries He longs to unveil. Keep your spiritual ears attuned, your heart open, and watch in wonder as He transforms your life through the power of His voice. Thank you for watching.
