A real life Chat with God

Having a Friendly Chat with God

Talking with God can be as natural as speaking with a close friend. He desires a real, personal relationship with us, where we can share our thoughts, worries, joys, and even ask Him questions.  📖 Exodus 33:11 – “The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.”
📖 John 15:15 – “I no longer call you servants… Instead, I have called you friends.”

Many people wonder if it’s possible to have a real conversation with God, just like talking to a friend. The truth is, God desires to communicate with us, but His voice and language are different from human speech. He speaks through His Word, inner promptings, circumstances, peace, and even through people.

1. Chatting with God in Real Life

Prayer is not just about asking for things; it’s a real conversation where we speak and listen.

📖 Jeremiah 33:3 – “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

📖 John 10:27 – “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

A Real-Life Example of Chatting with God

💬 Person: “God, I feel lost. I don’t know what to do about this decision.”
💬 God (through inner prompting or scripture): “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)
💬 Person: “I want to trust You, but I feel uncertain.”
💬 God (through peace or circumstances): An unexpected door opens, or a deep peace settles in their heart, confirming the right choice.

What you’ll learn

Come, Let Us Reason Together

God invites us into a deep and meaningful relationship where we can openly discuss our thoughts, struggles, and questions with Him.

📖 Isaiah 1:18 – “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”

This verse shows that God is not distant—He wants to engage in conversation, guide us, and transform us. He invites us to reason with Him, not because He needs answers, but because He loves when we seek understanding.

Ways God Speaks in Real Life

✅ Through the Bible

Inner Prompting: How God Guides Through the Heart

What is Inner Prompting?
Inner prompting is a deep, undeniable feeling, thought, or conviction placed in our hearts by God through the Holy Spirit. It is not just a random thought but a guiding nudge that aligns with His will.

📖 Scripture on Inner Promptings:

• Isaiah 30:21 – “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
• John 16:13 – “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.”

How God Uses Inner Prompting to Guide Us

1. Warning Against Danger

• Example: A woman is about to enter a business deal, but she feels uneasy and has no peace. She listens to that inner warning and later finds out that the deal was a scam.

2. Directing Towards an Opportunity

• Example: A man is walking home and suddenly feels the urge to take a different route. Later, he learns that there was an accident on his usual path.

3. Encouraging an Act of Kindness

• Example: A young man suddenly feels a strong push to check on an old friend. When he calls, he finds out the friend was battling depression and needed encouragement.

4. Bringing Peace or Restlessness

• Example: A woman has two job offers. One pays more but makes her feel uneasy. The other brings deep peace even though it pays less. She chooses peace and later realizes it was the best decision.

God in Our Hearts

What Does It Mean for God to Be in Our Hearts?
When God is in our hearts, He becomes the center of our thoughts, actions, and desires. It means we are in close fellowship with Him, and His presence influences our daily lives.

• Ephesians 3:17 – “So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”
• Jeremiah 31:33 – “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.”

How God’s Presence in Our Hearts Affects Our Lives

1. Brings Peace in Storms

• Example: A man loses his job but feels an unexplainable peace, trusting that God has something better for him.

2. Leads to Transformation

• Example: A woman who used to live selfishly suddenly starts feeling the need to help others and live for a greater purpose.

3. Creates a Hunger for Righteousness

• Example: A young person who once enjoyed sinful activities now feels uncomfortable with them and desires to live according to God’s Word.

4. Helps in Making Right Decisions

• Example: A businessman decides to run his business with integrity, even when tempted to take dishonest shortcuts.

The Spirit Language & God’s Presence in Us

God does not only communicate through human language—He also speaks through the Spirit Language and dwells within us as His children. His presence is not limited to a physical location but exists inside those who believe in Him.

1. The Spirit Language (How God Speaks Beyond Words)

God’s language is not always spoken in human words—it is a spiritual language that can be understood deep within our hearts.

📖 Romans 8:26-27 – “The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”

Ways God Speaks in Spirit Language:

✅ Through the Holy Spirit – God communicates directly with our spirit.
✅ Through Inner Promptings – A strong, clear knowing or conviction that guides us.
✅ Through Peace or Restlessness – God confirms His will by giving peace or making us uneasy about something.
✅ Through Praying in the Spirit – Sometimes, we may feel led to pray beyond words.

📖 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 – “God has revealed these things to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

📖 John 16:13 – “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth.”

God Makes Things Known Without Audible Speaking

God often communicates without words—He reveals truth, wisdom, and direction directly into our spirit. We just know and understand His will through His presence, the Holy Spirit, and inner revelation.

📖 Job 33:14 – “For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.”

📖 John 16:13 – “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.”

📖 1 John 2:27 – “The anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things… that anointing is real.”

God makes things known, and we simply receive understanding without real speaking—this is the work of the Holy Spirit within us.

2. God is in Us (His Presence Within Believers)

God doesn’t just dwell around us—He dwells inside us when we accept Him. This means we are never alone.

📖 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

📖 John 14:16-17 – “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever—even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

📖 Colossians 1:27 – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

📖 Luke 17:21 – “The kingdom of God is within you.”

📖 1 Corinthians 3:16 – “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

📖 Colossians 1:27 – “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

📖 Galatians 2:20 – “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”

📖 John 14:16-17 – “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper… You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

📖 Romans 8:11 – “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies.”

📖 Ezekiel 36:27 – “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes.”

📖 2 Corinthians 6:16 – “For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them.'”

📖 Ephesians 3:17 – “That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.”

📖 Romans 14:17 – “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

What Does It Mean That God is in Us?

✅ We carry His presence wherever we go.
✅ We can hear His voice from within, not just externally.
✅ We have direct access to His wisdom, guidance, and comfort.
✅ We are never alone—God is with us always.

Real-Life Example of God Speaking Through the Spirit

Let’s say you’re about to make a major decision—like accepting a job or moving to a new city. You pray about it but don’t hear an audible voice. However, you feel:

➡️ A deep peace inside when thinking about one choice.
➡️ A heavy burden and restlessness when thinking about another choice.

That is God’s Spirit guiding you through inner promptings.

📖 Philippians 4:7 – “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

3. The Language of God: How He Communicates

God doesn’t speak in one human language, but He communicates in ways that we can understand.

📖 Job 33:14 – “For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it.”

Ways God Communicates His Message

✅ Through Love – His greatest message is love, seen in Jesus’ sacrifice (John 3:16).
✅ Through Peace – God confirms His will by giving a deep sense of peace.
✅ Through Scripture – The Bible is His written communication to humanity.
✅ Through Repeated Signs – If God is speaking, you may notice the same message appearing multiple times (e.g., hearing the same Bible verse from different sources).

Real-Life Example of the Language of God

A woman is praying about moving to a new city.

• She reads a Bible verse about “stepping out in faith.”
• She hears a sermon about “new beginnings.”
• A friend randomly tells her, “I think you should go where God is leading you.”
  All of these are part of God’s language, confirming His direction.
