HOLY HUNCHES FROM A LOVING GOD


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
