HOLY HUNCHES FROM A LOVING GOD
I woke up one night picturing a
bat with big ears. Bats respond to vibrations much like we are to respond to
the vibrations from God Almighty. These vibrations, or “holy hunches,” come
from the realm of the unseen, but all Christians have access to them. There are
times when we “just feel like” we should talk to a particular person, show up
at a different time, take a different route—these nudges will come more often
when we learn how to recognize and respond to them. They are communications to
us from our Father God, beyond the things we perceive with our natural five
senses.
Our loving God gave us spiritual
five senses so that He could communicate with us. We can see, hear, taste,
smell, and touch the unseen. We are God’s sons and daughters when we believe in
Him and take Jesus Christ as our Lord. John 4:24 tells us: “God is a spirit.” So
when we believe what God told Paul to write in Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved,” God miraculously puts of His spirit into us, so we are
forever connected to Him. Spirit communicates with spirit.
My
friend Adrienne wrote: “God is ever-present. Being mindful of this by actively
listening for Him is the key to walking by the spirit. Even minor changes in
schedule—that show of humility—keeps our connection with God strong. We may
never see the results of our obedience; like the car accident that doesn’t
happen because of our obedience to be elsewhere. We all wonder at times how to
tell if we are on the right track. The only way is to play it through and see
what you get. Rejoice in the victories, and when it doesn’t go so well, ask God
how to do better.”
I
think of soldiers, firefighters, undercover agents, 911 operators; they are
trained to listen to their hunches and respond quickly. People’s lives depend
on it.
God
gives us holy hunches, vibrations, ideas, feelings, or nudges. Since these
communications are in the spirit realm, it’s a little hard to explain them in
our human terms. People use different words for how God works with them in
spiritual communications. Jesus says of the shepherd in John 10:4: “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he
goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.”
We
want to know His voice. Like Adrienne said, “The only way is to play it through
and see what you get. Rejoice in the victories and when it doesn’t go so well,
ask God how to do better.”
In
Luke 11:11 Jesus says if a child asks his father for bread, the father won’t
give him a stone. “If a son
shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if
he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?”
Our Father God is
a loving God. When
we’re asking Him for a more spiritual walk, He’s going to give us what we ask
for. “Or if he shall ask an egg,
will he offer him a scorpion? If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much
more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?”
(Luke 11: 12-13).
With
the gift of the holy spirit, we get the forever access to our creator, and the
communication for a successful life here on earth before we go to join Him, and
Jesus Christ, and all the believers forever in heaven.
Love,
Carolyn
