How God Communicates With You

God is speaking with you constantly, all it takes for you to hear Him is to pay attention...

I don’t know how or why, but for the past few months I have been repeating a motto in my mind:

Faith over fear. Faith over fear.

This phrase came to me out of nowhere, at a time when I was struggling and in dire need of some guidance. It came to me unannounced, on a random walk in what was just another regular Tuesday. I recognized in it the voice of God, and while it didn’t make much sense at the time, it was a phrase I would keep going back to anytime I needed some reassurance or something to hold on to when making a decision. I had never heard that phrase anywhere else. I had never seen it in any book, I had never had it told to me by anyone.

I have since made it a central tenet of my philosophy to act out of faith and not out of fear.

What that means is simple: You want to start getting used to thinking about the best possible scenario. You want to start believing that it's possible.

The goal is to start acting out of hope and faith instead of being afraid of what could go wrong. Fear is what holds you back from taking action, and lack of action is what feeds your insecurities and keeps you paralyzed.

I left it at that at the time. Just a useful mantra to help me make better choices.

Fast forward to yesterday, and here I am, completely dumbfounded holding a book I just purchased in my hands.

I had never read this book, and I knew almost nothing about it. And yet, again, at a time of doubt, change, and indecision, I decided to start reading it. A few pages in, the author presents what is one of the central points of the entire book. As my eyes go over the letters I feel a soft electrical impulse coursing through my body.

This is the exact mantra that I’ve been repeating in my mind, over and over, for months. It’s not “similar”, it’s exactly the same. I had never seen this philosophy anywhere else. I thought it was 100% original.

And God puts in my hands a book, written by one of the most well-known success authors of all time, where he writes what I’ve been saying word for word. Chills run down my spine, because I no longer believe in synchronicities of this magnitude. What I do believe is that “coincidences” like these are markers on the side of the road that just further prove you’re walking down the right path and urge you to keep going. It further shows me that Faith over Fear is a God-given philosophy that I should always hold close to my heart.

This story serves to illustrate a bigger point and that is that God does communicate with you. He does it through coincidences, dreams, and through other people. Even when you think He’s silent, He’s not. But don’t expect a clear voice to come out of nowhere and tell you exactly what to do.

God won’t give you a step-by-step plan to follow, but He’ll put markers down the right road, He’ll nudge you in the right direction and He’ll send messages your way. But it’s up to you to listen, interpret, and take action.

All it takes to hear Him is to pay attention, have faith, and be humble enough to recognize His messages when they come. Once you start doing this, it will become clearer and clearer, and you’ll learn to recognize in your gut whenever something that happens to you has a deeper meaning.

Have you experienced similar coincidences?

Do you believe God communicates through them?
