Jesus told me He loved me today

[ImmanuelWithUs]

The most amazing thing happened to me while at work this morning. I was cleaning around my desk, straightening up, when I heard a voice in my head - it sounded like my voice like I was talking to myself, but it wasn't my voice if that makes any sense. The voice called my name, really simply, not loud, just normal talk. I stopped and without even thinking about it, said, "Yes, Lord?" And The Voice said, "I love you."

After getting hold of myself, I asked, "Who am I Lord?" {like 'who am I that you should talk to me? I'm nobody'}. The Voice said, "You are Mine." Now, mind you, I adore my Bible and read it constantly, so that part of scripture is engraved on my heart and in my mind...

This truly happened to me today. For real. I was not expecting my Lord to speak to me in such a way, despite the fact that I constantly ask Him to show me His face and let me feel His presence, because I ALWAYS tell Him that. It was just another day at work until my Lord showed up. I'm not a drug addict or a drinker, I'm an average Joe putting in a day at work, so I wasn't hallucinating. I've never had any mental health problems.

Later tonight when I got home, satan actually put a picture in my mind of Jesus and His angels laughing at me for believing that Jesus would actually let me experience that. I'm rebuking satan though.

I posted this to ask if I'm right in believing that Yeshua/the Holy Spirit would "speak" to me today...am I crazy for believing this was my Lord?

I believe He spoke to me one other time as well, and it was very similar to this time.

Has anyone else has anything like this happen to them? I'd love to hear about it. I'd have done a search on the board, but was kind of confused as to what I should search for!

Thanks to all who help. God bless you all. I Thank God for this mb because I'm still a "baby" Christian {been saved just under a year}, so being able to talk with other believers is so important.

"The voice called my name, really simply, not loud, just normal talk...And The Voice said, "I love you."

That was simply beautiful.

Go back to the garden...did God not talk audibly to His creation...

There are accounts of God talking audibly in the letters of the Testament
of Christ as well...

God uses the world around us to communicate with us, in ways we will hopefully recognize and hear Him...and there are moments in time, God lets us hear His own voice...and those times are very personal (our God is a personal God) and so real and indescribable...as the writer says 'in His presence is fullness of joy!' How do you express fullness of joy, except with one word ~ God!

There are some who say Jesus never lived,
and Heaven was somebody`s dream...
But I just called out His name on my knees,
and I heard Him answer my plea...

We`ve walked too many mountains together,
and we`ve crossed thru the valleys of life....
To some I know Jesus might not be...
But you know Hes so real to me...

Praise His glorious beauty!

My experience

Hello. I HAVE actually had this happen to me. Once, someone was calling my name. It wasn't loud or anything. It was quiet, whispered. I didn't get a chance to really listen. I was 'busy' at the moment doing dishes. BUT the next time, I'll know what to do. At first, I didn't know who it was, but my spirit did. When I told my husabnd, he asked me who I thought it was. I didn't hesitant. I said JESUS. So, I'm looking out for that time again! Don't let those moments go by.

I was remembering the story in the Bible of Elijah. Going up into the cave...running from Jezebel I believe. God wasn't in the loud things...the migthy things...the earthquake, the thunder, the wind. He was in the still small voice. Also, the story when God was calling Samuel's name.

This could be a 'sign' of you getting close to God and God is getting close to you. Keep your mind and heart open. Keep your ears spirit tuned. He'll do it again. I am sure of it.

Our God is SO awesome. I, myself, never want to miss the times when He speaks to me! I never want to put Him in a box where He'll not come out because He is a gentleman and won't force us to do anything. We are FREE 'SLAVES'!! :-D Our Master, Jesus, has set us free from sin, now we are 'slaves' of His work. Weird I know...but it is true. Our Master sets us free. No matter what others might say to this experience. Just listen to what Jesus says. Obey Him. He will never steer you wrong!

I am happy to report

God first spoke to me audibly in 2004 and He is still with me today.

I have conversations with the Lord each and every day, He is with me, around me and in me.

I don't think you are crazy and I don't care who believes me either.

God is great and there is no other.

Faithful Son

Thank you to everyone who replied for all your words. He is an awesome God.

Dear Sister in Christ

What a wonderful experience to hear the Lord's voice of love being spoken to you. What a richness that will add to your prayer and praise of Him.

I experienced a gentle loving whisper in my head over a period of 9 years. I was backslidden at the time and the Lord was urging me to return to Him with words of peace and love. I tried at first to ignore Him but He was always there calling me back to Him.

May you be richly blessed by this sister

Your sister in Christ

Julia

Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth... 1 Samuel 3:9

Speak thy servant heareth
Be not silent Lord
Wait my soul upon Thee
For the quickening word.

 

[Br. Bear]

Dear sister,

now you will never forget.....

Jesus Loves you!

Yes what richness this adds to you .... and in days to come when the trials beset you, this word from the Lord will come back to you and strengthen you.... and keep you.

My gracious Lord told me once, "I'll always be with you" and He is true to His word.... so just as He is always with me... be sure that He Loves you!

Bless you sister,

Br. Bear

ps... I have just been reminded that a couple of days ago, I heard someone call my name... I looked around... there was no-one there I could see....
I feel somewhat chastised now, remembering this and realising that it didn't click that the Lord may be calling me. Perhaps He only wanted to distract me for the moment to prevent something? We are loved by the King of Love Himself, Jesus Christ the Lord ....><>

Having god talk to you is a wonderful experience. Especially something like god telling you about things you are unsure about. Recently I was in a service for my youth group where the band was playing worship music while those who needed healing would go by the altar. I sat there crying about what I've done until god said this. "Do not weep, my son, but instead rejoice, for your sins are forgiven." That drove me to stand up, still crying but with a smile on my face and worship and sing like crazy.

 

[ImmanuelWithUs]

Julia and Br. Bear, thank you for sharing your experiences. How beautiful and amazing!

 

[Fragrant Grace]

Truly beautiful and amazing

Dear sister ImmanuelWithUs

I know that I have already posted a reply here but:

This thread has really touched the depth of my heart. I've had a new realisation of the Lord's amazing love. All day I have reflected on His voice. I have wept with utter amazement at the vastness of His love and mercy.

I share this with you, dear readers, not to speak about myself but to exalt His wonderful name.

Throughout the nine years that I continually heard His voice I was an utter backslidden wretch. Most of the time I was unaware of my surroundings due to drugs and alcohol - totally oblivious to the world around me.

However, even when everything around me was a ball of confusion, His lovely voice was always crystal clear - whispering audible words of love into my blurred world. Bible verses, snippets of hymns and most of all the words 'come home'.

Oh how the Lord yearns for His wandering wayward children to return and how gently He pleads. Nine years I ignored that voice. Praise God - He never let me go - but just gently drew me back to the fold.

I took them in my arms. But they did not know I healed them, I led them with cords of a man with bonds of love. And I became as one who lifts the yoke and I bent down and fed them
(Hosea 11: 3 & 4)

Blessed wonderful Lord Jesus thank You that You speak to Your children with words of love, guidance and reassurance. May we ever be receptive to that beautiful sweet voice. Thank You Jesus.

God bless you sister for this thread which has truly made me realise more than ever before how beautiful and amazing the voice of Jesus is.

The Sheep know His Voice

I have read in God's Word I believe it was someplace in Psalms it says that Jesus is our shepherd and we are His sheep, the shepherd knows His sheep and the sheep recognize the shepherds voice. How awesome that you heard the voice of God. I believe I have heard God's voice at times in my life. I pray that He is in my thoughts! Through some of the tradgic times in my life I believe when I was on my face crying my heart out to God ( which I call the highest place on earth, on my face at the feet of Jesus ) I believe God has even given me a vision, He picked me up and sat me on the Lap of His Love and was holding me. I could see me on His lap his white robe, I could see His hands, my ear was against His heart, I felt our hearts beating as one, but I could not see a face.
I needed that vision it was so awesome, we had just lost two of our precious children in an auto accident and a few years later our marriage did not survive the loss of our children. I begged my husband to stay in church and counselling with me, we did not need the grief of broken home on top of greif of losing our boys, but my husband listened to everyone else except God, and Godly counselling, I was devestated I found the highest place on earth at the feet of Jesus crying my heart out for God to "Please don't let me get bitter to turn the bitterness within me into something sweet as He turned the water into wine" Then I had that vision I seen God pick me up and set me upon the Lap of His Love and He was holding me. I don't care who thinks I'm crazy! If God had not of gave me such an awesome vision I don't think I could of survived all that heartache and greif. Im a survivor only because of the Love of God! He Loves us so much He has even inscribed our names upon the palms of His hands Isaiah 49:15-16

Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
Isaiah 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

This is so beautiful, you nearly brought me to tears. Had it taken Him your entire life to whisper "come back to Me", He would have never given up, friend.

His love is so overwhelming, isin't it? It's like He's too good to be true...yet He IS true.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
Psalm 80:1


The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 23



Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.

I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

This commandment have I received of my Father.

John 10:1-18

How amazing! Thank you for sharing.

The first time I "heard" the Lord speaking to me was when I was first saved and I was reading the scriptures and trying to comprehend them. I came across "I have loved you with an everlasting love..." I said, "Lord, I can't understand what 'everlasting' means." Immediately and without thought, He said to me, "It means from eternity to eternity."

I'm so excited for all the times in the future when my Lord will take me by surprise and knock me off my seat in amazement, awe, and love with more "talks" with Him.

Again, thank you all for sharing your stories, words of wisdom, and scripture. I am happily His sheep from eternity to eternity.

Mommabear
What you have said is beautiful. To be in the Lap of His Love held by the Saviour is the place I long always to be. He alone is able to turn our sorrow to peace and joy.

O Lord may we all open the ears of our hearts to Your voice of love. May we fall into those Everlasting Arms and lean upon Your breast. And when the noise of sorrow, pain and grief are loud in our minds, may we listen for that lovely whisper of Your voice that draws us closer to You.

Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us..Psalm 99:17

[iahm87]

hmmm I envy you guys ( forgive me Lord if I have sinned). I desperately need the Lord's voice everyday to guide me and strengthen me. But that's why we have the Bible right. Everything that we need in a particular situation is in the Bible. We just have to find it.

Hmmm. I don't mean to discourage you but I don't think God will ever show us his face because it says that in His word that no human being on earth has ever seen his face. That makes Mormonism false because what Joseph Smith saw was a false Jesus and a false god the father. (a work of Satan).

God bless! =D Love you all. <3

Speak Lord for Thy servant heareth (1 Samuel 3:9)

Dear iahm87

Yes we do have the word of God to guide us.

But the Lord really does speak to our hearts...whether it is a gentle whispering or a clear voice. If you pray and open your heart to being receptive to His beautiful voice then you will hear Him in which ever way He sees fit to guide you.

I continually heard God's sweet voice when I was in an awful backslidden state at a time when I was in no fit state to turn to His word for guidance. It was His voice that lovingly drew me back to Him.

So iahm don't hmmm as you did in your post...just trust the power of an Almighty God to communicate with us in many ways according to our needs in His will.

His heart is fixed trusting in the Lord Psalm 84:6

May you experience the delights and wonders of the Lord's voice speaking to your heart

[ServantOfYHWH]

Hello. I HAVE actually had this happen to me. Once, someone was calling my name. It wasn't loud or anything. It was quiet, whispered. I didn't get a chance to really listen. I was 'busy' at the moment

Woah that's so awesome, that's exactly how He spoke to me! I thought it was a sibling, but the voice was different, it was gentle too! It's incredible hearing His voice audibly, or audibly to us anyways!! I was blown away..I too did not respond to hear what He wanted to tell me, and it made me so upset. I love Him so much...Yes, friend your not alone, your not crazy, Our Lord spoke to you, and He did it in a beautiful way, you are precious to Him, God bless.
