| I sometimes hear people say God has spoken to them. I'm not sure what that means. Do you hear something audible, in your mind, or what? |

Happened to me. People can believe it or not, their choice.
I married late in life, dealt with infertility. Got pregnant finally. Found out it was a boy. I had always imagined having a daughter, and thinking that this would probably be my only child and I'd never have a daughter was really hard for me (part of this is that my mom died when I was young, something about having that mother/daughter relationship again was important to me). I really felt a message that there would be another child, and it would be a girl. It calmed me down, for whatever that's worth. Of course I loved my ds when he came, and after the experience of having him, I'd have been thrilled to have another, boy or girl. I did indeed end up pregnant again, in my mid-40's, and yes, it was a girl. For me the best description is that of getting a message. I heard it pressed into my mind, if that makes any sense. |
No, but I understand that he spoke to Michelle Bachmann recently when she said she would wait for God to tell her if she should run for the senate seat in Minnesota.

God has spoken and speaks to all of us.
The Bible has details. |
| No |
| On the forums of citydata.com under Religion/Christianity there is a thread of over one hundred pages titled,"Have you heard the audible voice of God" where this question is answered. It appears lots of people have heard God speak. |
| I think so. Once I heard, right before I was about to wake up, "School's closed" and I said "Thank God". |
| Yes. |
Your odds were 50-50 without the voice of God |
Hearing voices is not unusual |

I had a difficult business decision to make that I was agonizing over.
I finally decided to turn it over to God, and prayed that God would give me a sign on what to do. I literally finished making the sign of the cross from that prayer, when the phone rang. It was a person related to that decision who gave me some information that made my decsion crystal clear, essentially turning what looked like a strong yes into an almost certain no. A couple of month later something happened in my personal life that affected the business in a way that would have made the other decision that looked so write on paper a huge mistake. God spoke to me that day. |
Of having a second kid at 44, after having my first at 41? After spending three years and thousands of dollars trying for him? No, those odds were really, really small. |
| No, I don’t think so. But I do believe he’s directed me. I was in a very bad situation and couldn’t see how important it was for me to leave. I kept going back or trying to stay despite the fact that it was incredibly emotionally painful. I joked with friends that I knew pain was nature’s way of telling me to take my hand out of the fire, and that I knew that God was yelling at me to get the hell out. I didn’t listen. That “voice” got louder and louder in terms of the messaging, and though I kept giving second chances, thing after thing kept happening to nudge me out. I finally left despite not wanting to go AT ALL. That decision probably saved my life. I look back now and think very strongly that I was being directed away from a dangerous situation. |
| Not actually spoke to me, but gave me a vision and communicated wonderful things to me. |
| For those who think that was god talking to them, it was really just your subconscious telling you what you already knew, and what you needed to do. |
