How do you listen to God and understand what he is telling you?

Answer 1

LOL! I bet myself that ol CJ would answer first with junk for an answer...I win!!!


But seriously, to answer your question:

God will tell you all that you need to know.
He will not always tell you all that you want to know.

Anyone can be in touch with God, anywhere and at any time, if
conditions are obeyed

These are the conditions:
- To be quiet and still
- To listen
- To be honest about every thought that comes
- To test the thoughts to be sure that they come from God
- To obey

I . Take Time
Find some place and time where you can be alone, quiet and undisturbed.
Most people have found that the early morning is the best time. Have with
you some paper and pen or pencil.
2. Relax
Sit in a comfortable position. Consciously relax all your muscles. Be
loose. There is no hurry. There needs to be no strain during these minutes.
God cannot get through to us if we are tense and anxious about later
responsibilities.
3. Tune In
Open your heart to God. Either silently or aloud, just say to God in a
natural way that you would Re to find His plan for your life-you want
His answer to the problem or situation that you are facing just now. Be
definite and specific in your request.
4. Listen
Just be still, quiet, relaxed and open. Let your mind go "loose." Let God
do the talking. Thoughts, ideas, and impressions will begin to come into
your mind and heart. Be alert and aware and open to every one.
5. write!
Here is the important key to the whole process. Write down everything
that comes into your mind. Everything . Writing is simply a means of
recording so that you can remember later. Don't sort out or edit your
thoughts at this point.

Don't say to yourself-
This thought isn't important;
This is just an ordinary thought;
This can't be guidance;
This isn't nice;
This can't be from God-,
This is just me thinking, etc.
Write down everything that passes through your mind.

Good thoughts-bad thoughts;
Comfortable thoughts-uncomfortable thoughts;
"Holy" thoughts--"unholy' thoughts;
Sensible thoughts--"crazy" thoughts.
Be Honest! Write down everything-. A thought comes quickly, and it escapes even more quickly unless it is captured and put down.

We never know what swimming is like until we get down into the water
and try. We will never know what this is like until we sincerely try it.
Every person who has tried this honestly finds that a wisdom, not their
own, comes into their minds and that Power greater than human power
begins to operate in their lives. It is an endless adventure.
There is a way of life, for everyone, everywhere. Anyone can be in touch
with the living God, anywhere, anytime, if we fulfill His conditions.

When man listens, God Speaks.
When man obeys, God Acts.

God's plan for this world goes forward through the lives of ordinary people
who are willing to be governed by Him.
