Tune Into the Holy Spirit | Discernment, Trusting God, Biblical Encouragement, Faith, Prophetic

Hearing different things at different times is the just the pits. Can we all agree on that?! Between the confusion, the feeling of pressure closing in, and maybe even worse than both of those things... the feeling that God is distant. It's just not not not fun.
So, let's talk about it.
Today, we are in Part 3 of our series on What to Do When You Hear One Thing and Then the Other. This is a very common discernment conundrum I hear young adults often asking about. And, for good reason! I've recently been wrestling this out myself in a particular situation, and it is tough!
While I was in the middle of it, I felt the Holy Spirit give me a really sweet prompt that 1. gave me so much Biblical encouragement, but then 2. it also helped open up a conversation with the Lord that took me deeper with Him. My prayer is that today's prophetic nugget will also bolster your faith and trust in God and will give you something to take into your daily prayer life that will help you wrestle through discerning what you're hearing.
 So, let's go deeper in hearing God's voice! Join me as we tune out culture and the world, and instead, tune into the Holy Spirit.

Pinging back and forth in what you're hearing? One minute, it sounds like the Holy Spirit is saying one thing, and then the next minute, you hear something else? Girl, we get it. It is a GRUELING place to be!
We are back with Part 2 of our mini-series all around this topic: What do you do when God's voice seems to be saying two different things? This is one of the most common discernment questions I hear, so I wanted to take some time to really dig deep into it.
 
In today's episode, we are diving into:
trusting God when we don't have answers
the spiritual battle that is raging inside of us
what you can do to get out of your head when you're stuck in a confusion spiral
 
Letting the Holy Spirit lead is SUCH a faith walk, and it is my prayer that this episode brings you Biblical encouragement, gives you prophetic insight, and helps you trust in the Lord and His goodness. Let's dive in!

Hearing one thing one day and then another thing another day? This can be such a frustrating and discouraging place to be when you really, really want to hear God's voice and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
In today's episode, we are talking about how to break out of those cycles of confusion so that we can clearly discern what the Lord is saying. In many ways, today's tip is probably the most foundational thing that you can do to get back to a place of discernment.
We're going to take a look at Psalm 119:105; talk about fear, anxiety and having faith; trusting God; and all of it without shame. This is your weekly dose of Biblical encouragement to have tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit!

Anxiety and fear of making the wrong decisions can be so detrimental to our ability to hear God's voice. We might start off in our rhythms of daily prayer or listening during our quiet time, but if we start getting anxious, it can make discerning the Holy Spirit nearly impossible.
Today, I am sharing Biblical encouragement, a little golden nugget straight from Scripture that can help you come to a place of true peace where you're able to hear the voice of God clearly. No more distractions, no more fear, no more anxious spirals. 
If you want to grow in discernment and build trust in God at the same time, this is the episode for you. Pop in those earbuds. Let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

Need an answer from the Lord but not getting anything clearly? Honestly, that is one of the most grueling places to be, when you're desire to be obedient to the Lord and follow the Holy Spirit is so strong... and yet, you're not hearing God's voice when you need to.
Today, we're going to get into some Biblical encouragement to help you anchor your faith in the Lord when you feel tempted to doubt and despair. We'll dive into Scripture together and let God's Word be an anchor for our souls. Two verses we'll go through together are Psalm 25:3 and Isaiah 40:31.
I pray that this helps you wrestle through trusting God in the waiting. Let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

Feeling condemned? Scared that if you don't hear God exactly right you're going to ruin your life? Girl, you're not alone.
For many of us, we struggle to hear God's voice in a tone that is kind, gentle, and loving. Maybe we hear Him in the voice of a harsh teacher from our childhood or a parent that we have a broken relationship with. 
In today's episode, we are going to walk through two tangible ways that you can hone your discernment of the Holy Spirit's voice. I pray that this brings you Biblical encouragement and helps you feel more confident in your faith walk and daily prayer life. Let's tune out the world, and tune into the Holy Spirit.

Plus, we've got Biblical encouragement for you today to draw a line in the sand, step into that faith journey of trusting God with your fears, and all to unlock your Kingdom destiny.

"I sit down and ask the Lord questions, and I don't hear anything!" Does this sound like you?
I've talked with so many young adult women who get so discouraged when they try to hear the Holy Spirit and get nothing. You've come to a place of stillness, carved out time in their quiet time to hear God's voice... maybe you have something really specific that you really need an answer from the Lord on. And, nothing! Girl, I totally feel you. This can be such a source of anxiety and discouragement, but! It doesn't have to be, and it's not meant to be!
Let's get into the Word of God!
In today's episode, I'll share with you four beautiful Bible verses (that you could even take to turn into a Bible study or use as Bible study tools for your own word study) that will bring you Biblical encouragement today. Here's the spoiler! You aren't carrying the burden of discerning God's voice on your own! You have divine help from above! Praise God!
So let's throw off the doubts, plunge back into our daily prayer life without hesitation or discouragement, trusting God hears us, and let's tune into the Holy Spirit!
