Let’s say that God appeared to you as living fire. And that He spoke to you with a voice like thunder. I think that would grab your attention. I believe that you would take this very seriously. You might even take what He said to you and carve it into stone tablets.
For the most part, when the Holy Spirit speaks to us, it’s not that dramatic. We don’t get those terrifying audio-visual effects. But our response to what the Spirit is trying to teach us should be just the same as it would be if He audibly spoke to us from a burning bush.
You have to write it down somewhere. It may not be more than just a couple of words. “Think about the love.” “Jesus on the cross.” “My sins are really gone.” Write it down and ask the Holy Spirit to expand on it. Ask Him to write it on your heart. Ask Him to make it real to you.
One of the ways you can tell the difference between what a thought that comes from the Holy Spirit and a thought that comes from you own mind is whether or not the Holy Spirit adds to it when you begin to pray over it.
