1. Even though I could remember talking to the
Holy Spirit as a kid, when I was an adult and
thought about talking to God, what came to my
mind was: "Who are you to think that you can
talk to God?" But the truth is, who am I not to?
Who are YOU not to? When we think, "Who am
I to talk to God?" we deny ourselves a
relationship with God and the Holy Spirit. So
even though the thought might arise, "who am I
to think that I can talk to the Holy Spirit?" it is
important to remember that it is just a thought.
It's just something that arises within your mind
when you entertain the thought of connecting
with God's Voice.

2. There are lots of thoughts that arise just like that: "Talking to the Holy Spirit is
impossible Talking to the Holy Spirit is something that only very Holy people
can do Talking to the Holy Spirit is something that takes years and years of
devotion and dedication " All of these thoughts are untrue and keep you from
connecting with the Holy Spirit in your life When you begin to think about
talking to God and hearing His Voice, become aware of what thoughts arise If
you become afraid at the thought of talking to God, that just means that a
thought has arisen within your mind that caused you to become fearful
3. A fear thought could be as simple as, "I'll never be able to hear the Holy Spirit
" It could be a thought that says, "I'm not worthy of talking to God God would
never talk to me " It could be, "Look at all the things that I have said and done
Why would God bother with me?" Allow yourself to become aware of the
thoughts that arise when you think about joining with God in the Holy Spirit in
dialogue
4. Do your best to notice those thoughts, emotions, or beliefs as lovingly and
kindly as you can They are just thoughts that arise They are not the truth
They are not a reflection of you They're just thoughts that arise, these little flea
bites that distract you for a moment
5. When you notice them for what they really are and respond to them with truth,
love, and kindness, you are free to continue to focus on your connection with
God Let's say, for example, that you have the thought: "Who am I to think that
I can talk to God?" You can then remember: "Oh yeah, who am I NOT to? It's
my job to be connected with God in the Holy Spirit That's my job That's all
God and the Holy Spirit would ask of me Who am I not to?" Or you have the
thought: "Why would God want to talk to me?" You can respond, "Because
God created me and God only sees my perfection
6. http://hearingloss-hearingaids.com/hearing-aids/ God wants nothing more
than to talk with me through the Holy Spirit " "I'm not worthy I've done these
things, said these things, or thought these things I'm not worthy to talk to
God," and you remind yourself, "God just loves God wants to be in
communication with me
7. " Whatever thoughts arise, allow yourself to respond to them with Love and
Truth You know the truth in your heart You know that God only loves you and
wants to be in communication with you So when you have the thought: "Oh,
I've done these things or said these things God does not want to communicate
with me" you can remember, "Actually, God only loves me," and continue to
move past that thought or move on from that bug bite
8. Allow yourself to continue to move in the direction of connecting with God in
the Holy Spirit It's as if you are maneuvering your way around these little
distractions or obstacles, the little thoughts that arise, but you respond lovingly
to them and remain on the pathway to God There is nothing that can stop you
from getting to God There is nothing that can keep you from your Father
Even if you're not sure how to respond with the truth to a thought that arises,
just remind yourself, "Nothing can keep me from my Creator," and continue to
move along on that path
9. Since it is only a thought that can keep you from hearing God's Voice, let
yourself notice what thoughts have arisen in the past few minutes Make note
of the thoughts that sound familiar or the thoughts that have come to your mind
and allow yourself in the next few days to continue to become more and more
aware of what thoughts come up when you think about talking with God in the
Holy Spirit Really look at each thought and allow a truthful response to each
one to come to you so that you know no matter what thought arises, there is
nothing that can keep you from having a relationship with God and God's
Voice in your life Focus on this in the next few days and find out how much
more connected you feel to God in the Holy Spirit in doing so
