Have you ever wondered if God speaks to you? Did you say you do but you never heard Him speak? Did you say the way you live your life He wouldn’t want to? Did you say you’re still waiting, or did I hear you say it doesn’t matter because you don’t believe in God. WRONG PEOPLE, wrong, wrong, wrong. God speaks to each and every one of us [ 7/24 ], 7 days a week, and 24 hours per day since the beginning of our creation if we know or believe it or not — saved or not saved, period.
When God created Man, He met with Man in the cool of the day, (Genesis 3:8). We/Man had total trust in God as He nurtured us in all things. Any and everything we needed and was to be aware of He provided. We weren’t created to omit God from anything, but something happened. We got deceived scripture has it and ate from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, [ aka. blessings and calamity ] that was in the mist of the Garden of Eden where man first lived, (Genesis 2:17).
This tree’s fruit was significant because of its nature, and to eat of it opened our eyes to what we never knew or dreamed we’d do, and that was to have doubt and question everything, including God.
We didn’t have that trait before then; God was our source of everything, so what is this trait? It was the introduction of conscience, not consciousness but a conscience that from then until now has been our battle; the battle of should I or should I not, and perhaps I may, or perhaps I may not, a battle fought within.
Our conscience puts before us questions and choices that our heart is to decide, choices for example between right and wrong etc. If we choose wrong; you heard the phrase, we’ll have a guilty conscience, an inner conviction.
We don’t own this conscience but it’s there lurking, and we can’t tap into it. But we do make decisions based on what’s it’s offering.
Scripture says it’s where the battle is, affirming it’s not of this world but the principalities of a world we don’t see, (Ephesians 6:12). That’s right, this verse is explaining your conscience, and it’s a spiritual battle apart from this physical world; a battle not between you and me, but a battle presented by our conscience of how we’ll treat and live with each other and ourselves; it’s the spiritual Realm speaking to you, and you making decisions and taking action to what it suggest. What’s speaking are two things, one is our sin of disobedience inherited from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil — conscience spurred by Satan, and second, is God speaking to that same conscience through the Holy Spirit to get you to do the right thing by Him.
Satan, who is the ruler of this dark world, and the force of evil in the spiritual realm comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came so that we may have life, and have it more abundantly to the fullest; not at the expense of others, but as only the Lord thy God can deliver, (John10:10).
When you can do wrong without conviction of conscience, (1st Timothy 4:1,2) your God is Satan; he’s speaking to you and you’re obeying, but if you feel convicted, you’re hearing from God; God is speaking to you through the Holy Spirit, (Romans 1:18).
When we teach young children to get along with others in schools; teaching them right from wrong, we’re teaching them how to hear from God, and doing wrong will give them a guilty conscience and they don’t want that, plus we teach there’s consequences for doing so.
But many households teach their children differently. They’re teaching their children not to hear from God but to hear and follow Satan who is THIER god, [ The parent’s god. ] and his ungodly practices and lifestyle which these households brand.
But Satan is a liar, (John 8:44), and a lot of his success is because of ignorance, (Hosea 4:6). Doing right is listening to God and taught spiritually through sound conscience — even if you knew nothing; not doing right is wrong, (Galatians 6:9), it’s ignoring God, listening to Satan — who is also teaching spiritually but passing over sound conscience, and there’s no excuse however you choose, (Romans 1:20 & 22). God will speak to you through your conscience and will remind you of His ways.
To discriminate, manipulate, hate, deceive, exploit, backstab, bicker, bully, slander, gossip, be cruel/hard, cold blooded, mean-spirited, disrespectful to parents, corrupt, loveless, a cheat, with a will to destroy; kill, able to spit in God’s face without conscience for YOUR profit or gain, or for YOU and some group is not of God, it is of the Antichrist spirit and you are damned because God will quit speaking to you and let Satan have you, (Romans 1:28-32).
But if your conscience convicts you of these things, you still have a chance. God is speaking to you and hasn’t given up on you. Look at this world; observe Satan’s work. His followers hear his voice just like God says, His followers hear His Voice, (John 10:27). Conscience.
Once you understand that this is just one of the ways God speaks to us all — through our conscience, you can grow and move forward toward a deeper and more vivid communication from Him because the voice that you hear through your conscience is His simplest form of communication with us.
God didn’t give up on us, or how He’s made us even though we disobeyed Him in the Garden. He didn’t write us off. There’s some things we can’t get around because it’s still in our DNA, and it’s Him constantly speaking to us and we hearing Him saved or not because of conscience.
We weren’t made to disobey God but after we ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil we learned how, (Proverbs 14:12). And in (Proverbs 14:13) He explains the guilty conscience, but don’t worry, Jesus came and through Him we get reprogramed on how to function at the higher level we had before the introduction of conscience and the choice to be disobedient, and doubtful; forsaking a Devine nature lifestyle. Hey — let’s face it; God does. Oh! I almost forgot — perhaps you may or perhaps you may not.
