Topic: Messages From God

Has God ever sent you messages (either hidden or obvious) pointing you in a particular direction? Most people do not get letters or faxes from God. This does not mean He cannot send you a letter or fax, and it does not mean He won't. Getting letters and faxes from God just simply doesn't happen very often. However, God still communicates with you. He communicates with you if we are willing to listen. He communicates with you if you are willing to look at your life and be painfully honest with yourself and with Him. If you could draw a map of your past and present life, you would see a pattern emerging. Let us say you draw up or list all your failures and successes during your lifetime. In developing your list, let us include all of your failures and successes in all your relationships. In addition, as you draw up your list you would also want to include all of your connections to the things of life, and also list all the circumstances in which you have found yourself, including the good circumstances and bad ones. On your list or life map, you would also want to list all the mistakes you have made and the wrongs you have done and wrong things you have thought. After you have developed this extensive list or map, you would see your life pointing in certain directions. Some of the directions in which you have gone in your life are directions you wanted to pursue while other directions were directions not of your choice. In the final analysis, the course of the events of your life can be a lesson for you if you are willing to see the hidden forces of God and Satan at work. Hidden in the events of your life is the hand of God at work. Even in your darkest days and times, God is always trying to influence you. God is always trying to reach you. To align your hopes and dreams with His will, you need to be sensitive and be aware of the direction in which His will is pushing and pulling you.
