Renewing my mind

While walking along the path in the morning I was thinking about God and how he communicates to me. I have never really known how to hear or realize when he is talking to me. Jesus said we can communicate with God through the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I can sense an urge to do something but I am not sure if it is from God. I have accepted his holy spirit but I don't know how to access it so I just stopped walking and said Holy Spirit come into my body so I can know you are real and instantly I felt a sensation in my shoulder and then a rapped heartbeat. Peace came to me and my heart was full of joy, I had God's spirit living inside all along I just had to believe.

As I continued my walk the Spirit, filled my mind with thoughts about how to recognize communication from God. By reading the bible daily and in context, studying how others in the bible talked and heard from God, paying attention to my thoughts and seeing if they line up with scripture. I was becoming aware of forgotten knowledge and I was thankful.

I have always thanked God for everything even the hard times although most of the time I didn't like my situation. Talking to God and asking him to change my life has been difficult because I had become comfortable in my own abilities. Today I have renewed assurance that my body is the temple for the Holy Spirit and I have direct communication with God continually.
