Does God talk to ordinary people ?

[:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR:]

The last thing you want to hear from God is the phrase "I did not know you".

Especially if the Rapture has already begun.

[Wolfen69]

No "I did not know you". is not the last thing you want to hear from god. The last thing you want to hear from god "There you are! YOU $#% @%$#$@^ ^#@^#$ #%#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Sylent Nyte]

No "I did not know you". is not the last thing you want to hear from god. The last thing you want to hear from god "There you are! YOU $#% @%$#$@^ ^#@^#$ #%#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LMFAO, yer! If "god" cusses you out, then you know for a fact that you're special! On a more serious note however:

By reading this article, you demonstrate faith in the prospect that two-way communication with God is feasible.

Hardly. If anything it demonstrates that the original author expects a certain level of gullibility on the part of his audience. He expects the correct thing. Any small amount of faith would allow someone to be drawn in.

The answers truly lie within your own faith.

I am somewhat sorry to "disappoint" you, but the truth is what I have faith in. Not in the words of a man delegated to expanding the "flock," by an institution of man, and definitely not in the writings and edicts of

an institution that revises said writings and edicts every few hundred years in order to cater to societal ideals and ideas. These "values" should be unshakable, especially by men of "faith." To modify them as they go, it demonstrates one fact: that they're not too sure about what's going on, either.

For some strange reason this really offended me.

[meankitty]

Despite the statements to the contrary, this IS more buy-into pseudo-spiritual elitist new-age c-r-a-p :-P

[John from Lowell]

For those who do believe in God, let's say a loving one for example, it would make sense God would talk to anyone who would listen. Does a Father or Mother have ordinary children whom they would never talk with? I think not. No child is so ordinary that they are ignored. If they are then they do not live long.

So now we have a God who will look after us, love us, but never speak with us. That does not make sense to me.

[wilkenator]

What god? Could there be more than one God? Cmon, this article sucks for people who don't require conversations with a god.

I've been godless for decades and never been better. The voice you hear in your heart is your own!

[wilkenator]

Spare us! Most people don't believe in god, jesus, the holy ghost and the bible is fiction.

Why are christians here anyway, aren't they supposed to avoid places like this?

[faraway]

I agree with the above posters, why would the Creator have a desire to communicate with something that to him is lower than microbes are to us?

You're making judgements about God, giving him human traits. Judgment, a feeling of superiority.

Assuming one has a belief in God, which you must, when talking about communicating with God, is God not pure love? (Don't bring religion to it, I'm not talking of a God of religion, I'm talking about the core concept of what god is.)A creator? Why would you look down on what you have created?

I personally think that attitude stems from a confusion over who and what God is, and who and what we are.

[John from Lowell]

I would agree with that. We actually have much to learn about the nature of our reality.

[AaronMichael86]

I am a christian, I have studied the Bible and I believe every word..those of you who choose to live a godless life will one day reap the consequences and it will be too late for you. I believe God still leads us..we dont exactly hear his voice but we know he leads by closing doors and opening others..I simply ask God to show me the way, and He does

[danielost]

to answer the question. no god does not talk to the ordinary person. he thinks all of his kids are important.

[my_psychosis]

Ok well the first thing I want to do is respond to a quote from the poster. This quote "By reading this article, you demonstrate faith in the prospect that two-way communication with God is feasible." Um no I read this article because I new it would be entertaining.

Second. I was born and raised in a religion who believes that their leader spoke to God and Jesus at the same time.

But in my opinion (I dont want to offend anyone so this is just my opinion) I think they are all a few fries short of a happy meal (to put it nicely)

so you used to be lds. i hope everything is working out for you now.

[Knight Of Shadows]

i very much doubt it ..

not just with normal people .. with all people

god don't talk to people as far as am concerned

otherwise you'd find there's no skeptics

they'd simply ask for god to talk with them

even you have a prophet. so god or allah or whatever talked to at least one person in your faith.

[Knight Of Shadows]

god never talked to our prophet .. he sent gabriel to do so

the only person with such thing was Moses

god don't talk to people

[:PsYKoTiC:BeHAvIoR:]

I agree with the above posters, why would the Creator have a desire to communicate with something that to him is lower than microbes are to us?

Well, according to the Old Testament, God had direct contact with selected human beings. Moses, Abram, Noah, to name a few.

I mean, if the Creator have no desire to communicate with us, then why bother creating in the first place?

But, this is according to old texts. In the mordern age, seeing someone talking to God, would be more like a "Nurse, please up the dosage." scenario.

I never heard God speaking to me, but I had situations where everything seemed to steer into place right in front of my eyes without any control or choice over it.

So to me, I can't say he doesn't exist either. I know of luck and coincidence, but when you are witnessing something beyond that category, and more than once, you can't help but think there's a driving force out there.

anytime you ever had trouble with deciding what is right or wrong, it was god, through the holy ghost telling what the right thing to do was.

No, I'm just bored to be honest.

[AaronMichael86]

God still speaks to us..He does it through His word (the Bible)

[my_psychosis]

so you used to be lds. i hope everything is working out for you now.

First, thank you, and yes my life is great!

Second Wow you know about the LDS. I dont meet many that do around here.

<font style="Arial" size="1"><b></b></font></div><b>Susan Shumsky: It is a rare gift to be called to hear the voice of God.</b> By reading this article, you demonstrate faith in the prospect that two-way communication with God is feasible. This is indeed atypical. The fact that you even consider this possibility places you in a unique category of uncommon individuals. For example, were you raised in a family, religion, or educational institution where you learned that God could speak to you directly? Few people reading these words can answer "yes." Many people believe that God exists, yet few believe that God hears their prayers or answers them. Fewer believe that God is accessible and can talk to them. Exceptional people are willing to allow God to speak to them directly, but only extraordinary individuals act on what God guides them to do. Do you want to be one of these people? If so, you are rare and unique.

We are taught from an early age that when we talk to God it is called "prayer," but when God talks to us, it is called…"schizophrenia." If you were to enter a psychiatric office today and report that God speaks to you, what would be the reaction? You would be diagnosed with mental illness and walk out with a prescription for psychotropic drugs.

We often read about murderers—even mothers who slaughter their own babies—who claim that voices in their heads told them to commit murder. We hear of cult leaders who believe that God demands that their followers commit suicide. No wonder the widespread belief is that people who claim to hear God's voice are insane.

We are conditioned to believe that the only people sanctioned to have authentic conversations with God are great prophets, saints, holy men (I emphasize the word "men"), and other holy beings that lived at least two thousand years ago in some faraway land. These holy men wrote one book—a book literally written in stone. After that book was written, apparently, God has gone mute—and has not spoken to anyone since.

Right? Wrong: I believe these holy men have not signed an exclusive contract with God. They have no special combination to a padlocked, hallowed safe with elite access. Some religious institutions would have you believe that they own the secret passkey and, without their sanction, no one can walk through the doorway to heaven.

Billions of people are resigned to the idea that they cannot experience God directly—certainly not while they are still breathing. Sadly, such people eagerly await death, when they will enter the glorious gates of paradise and finally catch a glimpse of God's presence. They never conceive that they could directly experience God in this body during this lifetime.

The widespread belief is that God's blessing and grace are inaccessible without a middleman, such as a pastor, minister, priest, cleric, rabbi, guru, master, shaman, psychic, channeler, counselor, or priestess. Most of these go-betweens have the best of intentions, but regrettably, either intentionally or unwittingly, some of them become hucksters swathed in a veneer of spirituality, hawking their products to the masses.

Such salespeople have no incentive to help people hear God's voice directly. To use an analogy from the world of sales, if their customers were to have such experiences, then these retailers would soon be out of business. For their clients would "cut out the middleman" and "go direct."

However, it is my experience, and the experience of tens of thousands of people who have used the methods taught in my books or classes, that anyone can hear the voice of God directly.

The Pearl of Great Price: At the risk of giving away the "pearl of great price"—the most precious secret of the ages—in this article, I will tell you right now how you can hear the voice of God. This gift comes with no strings attached. You will not be required to convert to a religion, join a cult, venerate a guru, empty your bank account, or sacrifice your firstborn child. I will tell you right now how to "go direct." So here goes—a simple way to listen to the "still small voice" of God, right here and now, absolutely FREE:

Just sit down in a chair, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, get quiet, still, centered, and balanced within yourself, and then simply—ASK. That is the entire secret. ASK. Ask a question, ask for guidance, ask for inspiration or healing. Then take another deep breath and do what I call the "Do-Nothing Program." That means, do nothing, nothing, and less than nothing. Then the "still small voice" will speak to you in your heart.

So the key to hearing God's voice is to ASK. The trouble is that we forget to ask. Or we think we cannot ask.

Or we think God is too busy for us. Is God too busy for you? Could God be too busy for anyone? If you believe God is too busy to pay attention to you, then you have a very limited idea of what God is.

God could never be too busy. God is not bound by time, space, or circumstances. Therefore, God cannot get tired or overworked. God does not only pay attention to "important" people and things. Everyone and everything is important to God. God does not play favorites. God is not available to only a select few so-called "holy" people. God is everywhere present and always available to anyone who asks.

In my latest book, How to Hear the Voice of God, you can learn this do-nothing method, which I call Divine Revelation®, of hearing the voice of God and receiving divine messages effortlessly, clearly, and precisely. The entire premise of Divine Revelation is "ask, and it shall be given you."

Many people have one ten-minute spiritual experience, and then spend the rest of their life talking about it. Dozens of best-selling authors have built their entire career upon that one time when a divine being appeared or spoke to them. However, Divine Revelation is about experiencing God whenever you want—at will. After you have learned how to hear the divine voice, you will receive spiritual experiences as often as you desire. You can call upon God and ask a question, ask for guidance, or ask to experience God, and then receive the answer or experience immediately, whenever you want—day or night. Just ASK.
