Heyy,
I'm a 17 year old christian girl & I'm sort of going through a rough patch at the moment but during this time I have had some unusual things happen to me & i'm not sure if it's God's way of contacting me or if I am just imagining it. The other morning I was out & I was walking along my street & it was all quiet & only me out & I honestly thought I heard a man's voice say my name really clearly & I turned to where the noise came from & nothing was there at this time there wasn't any wind so it was obvious it wasn't that & also a few times I feel like having a good cry but there's always been a wee voice at the back of my mind & making me feel strong again & the feeling get when I want to cry goes away.


Could this be God trying to contact me in a way & help me when I need it most or am I imagining it?

Also, has anyone else had any messages from God ?
I would like to hear your stories :) x

It could be your imagination or subconscious (the little voice in the back of your head). I'm not saying it is or isn't God, just keeping the table open.
About the wind part, the wind can make odd sounds at time, and it is completely possible that our imagination will interpret it to be something else.

And no.
 
many of us have had messages from God, he can often pull us up when we are in the lowest possible pits. But it is very rare and usually only happens to those near suicide and stuff like that. So I'd say your probably imagining it.

If you want God to talk to you (not literally) read the bible, there are plenty upon plenty of sections dedicated to dealing with rough patches in there.
 
Hmmm......it may have been God, may not have or it could have been indirectly God. Heck, I find it hard when this occasionally happens to me! :biggrin

God can use things like situations or things like that to indirectly "speak" to us; it seems that there are no talking bushes around nowdays. :biggrin ;)

The best thing to do is to read the Bible and pray to God about it - pray for guidence, and He can do that through - you guessed it - the Bible. Unfortunately can't think of any specific passages right now, but I will go hunting and hopefully come back with something.
 
Well...I found this great article that I felt was right on the mark, so...


Question: "Does God still speak to us today?"

Answer: The Bible records God speaking audibly to people many times (Exodus 3:14; Joshua 1:1; Judges 6:18; 1 Samuel 3:11; 2 Samuel 2:1; Job 40:1; Isaiah 7:3; Jeremiah 1:7; Acts 8:26; 9:15 – this is just a small sampling). There is no biblical reason why God could not or would not speak to a person audibly today. With the hundreds of times the Bible records God speaking, we have to remember that they occur over the course of 4,000 years of human history. God speaking audibly is the exception, not the rule. Even in the biblically recorded instances of God speaking, it is not always clear whether it was an audible voice, an inner voice, or a mental impression.

God does speak to people today. First, God speaks to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Isaiah 55:11 tells us, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.†The Bible records God’s words, everything we need to know in order to be saved and live the Christian life. Second Peter 1:3 declares, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness.â€

Second, God speaks through impressions, events, and thoughts. God helps us to discern right from wrong through our consciences (1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Peter 3:16). God is in the process of conforming our minds to think His thoughts (Romans 12:2). God allows events to occur in our lives to direct us, change us, and help us to grow spiritually (James 1:2-5; Hebrews 12:5-11). First Peter 1:6-7 reminds us, “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.â€

Finally, God may sometimes speak audibly to people. It is highly doubtful, though, that this occurs as often as some people claim it does. Again, even in the Bible, God speaking audibly is the exception, not the ordinary. If anyone claims that God has spoken to him/her, always compare what is said with what the Bible says. If God were to speak today, His words would be in full agreement with what He has said in the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God does not contradict Himself.
