Last night I was having a conversation with some folks about what itβs like to hear God, and I am going to share part of that conversation with all of you today. A lot of people are waiting for Gods voice to come and be very loud, boisterous and commanding like a βHault who goes thereβ kind of thing. While it can definitely be those things, itβs not π¨π³πΎπ¨ππΊ those things.
Sometimes God will show up as multiple numbers through the day to you. That constant β3:33 you see or 4:44, maybe 11:11β – thatβs God trying to speak to you. Numbers have meaning, 8 is new beginnings, 7 is perfection, etc. And if youβre not paying attention youβre going to ππππ what He is trying to communicate. For months I kept seeing 4:14. It wasnβt until my husband said to me βgo rest and read your Bibleβ did I flip open the Bible to read the book of Esther, which brought me to verse 4:14, βπππ ππππ πππ
π πππ ππππ π ππππ ππ ππππ.β And that has since become my stability verse. No matter what occurs in life I know that in all of the amount of time God could have chosen to have me on earth – He picked right now, and what a dishonor it would be to Him for me to cower away from what I was called to do. I digress, or Iβll be off on a tangent on the importance of finding your true callingβ¦
Sometimes youβll be having a conversation and one person talks with you about something then you end up having another totally different conversation with a different person and both of those people brought up the same thing. Maybe itβs hearing one specific word repeated in multiple things over and over. Thatβs God.
Sometimes He will show up through animals, like a hawk flying overhead of you. Sometimes itβs a flashing signβ¦ You get the idea. Different signs can confirm you πππ on the right path, or warn you πππ to walk down a certain path.
If you are praying and asking God to speak to you – you need to pay attention to what is going on in your life. Itβs really easy to live in your flesh. Itβs really really easy to shrug everything off as a coincidence. But Iβm here to tell/remind you there is no such thing as coincidences. Coincidences are God trying to speak to you or through you – itβs just a matter of whether or not youβre going to listen.
What have you heard lately, or seen lately, that has been playing on repeat. Are you choosing to listen? Is it a warning? Is it a confirmation youβre on the right path? Having a hard time discerning what it could be? ASK Him to confirm and then PAY attention.
Example : One time I knew that I was on the right path was when it dawned on me that a 3 year old mystery ornament meant I was doing something correct. Three years prior I had had a random ornament show up in my Christmas items. I had no idea what it meant or where it came from. I asked everywhere and no one knew. Fast forward three years later, that ornament was placed by God in my decorations box to confirm to me that I was on the right path, and it hit me while I was walking in my kitchen and I screamed with shock and called my husband to tell him, which then made him in shock. God sent me a sign THREE YEARS before I even asked a question.
What some folks want to quickly write off is that thereβs no way that God could be talking to them and that is the furthest thing from the truth. God speaks, and He does it a lot. One thing I encourage the kids in Sunday school with is that God is not dead, He is surely alive! Part of the reason that phrase is on our kids merch in the SAAMS Light line. God is fully alive – moving and working every single day through every thing we do. It just comes down to what you are going to allow your flesh to see.
Youβve been praying for answers you just havenβt been paying attention. Let me say that again youβve been praying for answers you just havenβt been paying attention.
So now that you know what God is trying to say to you, are you going to listen and follow Holy Spirit? Or are you going to listen to your flesh and continue to ignore Him?

So crazy thingβ¦I happened upon this site and started browsing. Put a couple things in my cart and decided to check out the devo portion. I also believe God speaks and often and if we donβt spend time and have intimacy with Him, we donβt recognize His voice. THIS devo is so confirming of things Iβve been hearing. The number 3:33 AND 4:44 have repeated themselves over and over and over. I know the exact scripture references He has been pointing me to and there is significance in both the scriptures for this season of my lifeβ¦and now for you to use those exact numbers in your devo!!! He used you to continue to speak to me. What a blessing for both of us. I love when God smiles on us like this. ππΌ
So true, I also put some things in my cart and happened to checkout the devotional and to my surprise I’ve also seen numbers 11:11,4:11,etc. I’m understanding more how God speaks to us in different ways that, we need to pay attention or we’ll miss it. May God open our eye’s to see what he’s trying to tell us I pray in Jesus name Amen ππ»
