Episode 146-God Doesn\'t Speak to Me

One of the biggest excuses we have is that we somehow feel God doesn\\u2019t speak to us. This excuse shuts down our ability to hear from Him, trust Him and surrender to Him. All three things are integral when we are trying change our habits, lose weight, get healthy, transform and follow God\\u2019s plan for our lives.\\xa0

When we don\\u2019t think we have any clear direction from God, we are relying on our own intellect. When we know what we should eat in order to maintain our health but instead violate our own boundaries, we are abdicating to our fleshly desires, which are driven by our emotions.

Romans 8:5-6 TPT tells us more about this. \\u201cThose who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities.\\xa0 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.\\u201d

Only the leadership of the Holy Spirit can override our emotionally-driven will and give us the strength to say no and mean it. But if we believe God can\\u2019t or won\\u2019t speak to us, our ears will be closed to His voice. When that happens we are on our own. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He won\\u2019t speak to us unless we ask Him to and want His guidance.
