Conversations with God.. can you hear God when he speaks?
The man whispered, “God, speak to me,” and a meadowlark sang, but the man did not hear. So the man yelled, “God, speak to me,” and the thunder rolled across the sky, but the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, “God, let me see You,” and a star shone brightly, but the man did not see. And the man shouted, “God, show me a miracle,” and a life was born, but the man did not notice. So the man cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know You are here,” whereupon God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

This weekend I had the pleasure to watch the movie “Conversations with Godâ€. Shall I recommend you the movie? Well, yes if you are still not sure of what can happen to you when you do not listen to yourself. For those who are more awaken in their conscious growth process it will just reinforce what you already know, what is always said and that every single entity which communicates through channeling with special persons will tell you. So there is nothing new about it.
But there is some pearls of wisdom in this movie and for sure in his books (I have not read them yet) that can really shed some light in your heart.
I will try to elaborate on this: You are living your life, you feel that everything is going ok, some of your dreams are being accomplished and some others you feel are in the process to become real… all of sudden things start to fall apart, you start to feel panic and you do not understand why it is happening… you loose your faith in god, you loose your confidence in yourself and you feel lost… you still try to grab yourself to your dreams and hopes… and things still keep going worse.
You can put your own situation here the pattern is that all of sudden something that you consider really “negative†happens to you.
The question is: Why? If I am being positive, I believe in the law of attraction, I pray every night for my dreams to come true and many other things you might be doing… still I am “punished†this way???
For many this seems to always be some sort of riddle, others have created their own theories just as I am about to give you mine.
I think the reason really bad things happen at some points on our lives are because:
1)We are not listening to what God is telling us…
2)Since we are not listening to what God tell us, we are not prepared or we are not in the right track for what we really wish…
3)since we are not prepared or in the right track to what we really wish, God “protects†us with some “negative†event in order to prepare us, wake us up, grow up and avoid that you get into something that could be even worse.
It is not magical at all right?, what is magical is that God is always sending us signals… and your job is to learn to see those signals… if you can see the signals you can avoid being given a big shake up. You have to learn to see the signals and trust yourself for that, sometimes in your life you feel like you loose that “power†to see the signals and when that happens it is another signal that you are loosing your connection with God, this normally happens because of stress, lack of confidence, extreme materialism and others that you might know.
Notice that I use the words “negative†and “punish†in order to best describe the situation, but the fact is that such thing does not exist, God or the Universe does not know about God or Bad, for God it is just another request from you, “your wish is my commandâ€.
I have a friend, who had everything to the simple eye, they had all the wealth you might wish for, a family, great job and good health… but one day this friend had an extreme health issue, he had a near death experience. Miraculously he survived, after that he became a Christian Evangelist. Do you know what he found out about himself? That God wanted him to wake up so he nurture his soul and spiritual path. I do not really know what were his wishes about that but for sure he received his shake up.
Before this event, this friend of mine would never ever believe in God or any higher being, there would be no WAY to wake him up and find this path if he didn’t have this experience. He was a very stubborn kind of mad to world person, yet God found his way to wake him up.
Please notice that this does not apply only to a spiritual path but for whatever is your wish related to. God is always taking care of you, protecting you and finding the way to give you what you wish. You make it easier or hard for the Universe, if you listen, if you are aware for sure it will be easy.
Honestly, I had my shake up in my life and it took me some time to really know why this happened to me? For me, it was just like a fire test, my faith , my confidence, my convictions where put into test. After surviving to this shake up and asking my questions I noticed what I am now writing here.
I know that I have skipped some signals that God sent me, I know that I was deviating from one of my most important wishes…
Still, I know some people need more proof about how God works his mysterious ways in life and I think this video about Steve Job revealing how things worked out for him can give you the exact meaning of what I am trying to explain to you in this article.
Read Steve Job’s story in text.
Be aware, wake up, keep your conversations with God up to a max . Don`t let God have to shake you up.
In order to finish this article I wanted to ask you to share your own shake ups and more important if you have found the reasons why it happened to you. Please use the comment form below, your story is more than welcome.

I won’t call this a “shake-up” because that’s not what it is. When I was going through a very painful divorce, it was one evening that was particularly tough. I was upset, crying, and praying. I was asking God why this was happening. I was telling Him that I wanted to understand why, if I could just understand why this was happening then maybe I could have a better sense of closure. In my grief, I heard a very quiet voice inside of me. That voice told me that it was not for me to understand…after that, I quit worrying about it so much. I believe God still speaks…I just think we have to close our minds to the things going on in our physical life and listen to Him with our spirits. God still speaks in a still, small voice.

The answers are all in the Bible. God gives all the answers to all your questions there. Just seek Him with all your heart and He will answer from the words He has spoken.
