Conversations with God should be normal. They should come naturally. And yet, they don’t. Why?

We live in an ungodly world. If you watch TV, you won’t see people having conversations with God. If you listen to the radio, the same thing happens. The media and education system work together against God, and that’s not entirely by accident. They don’t mind religion, but they don’t want the true God. Even the church stopped talking about having conversations with God.

The Bible says God speaks to every person. Jesus is the Light, and He gives light to every person. ALL wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. And He gives wisdom and knowledge to every person. Some people refuse to thank Him or even give Him the credit for what He gives. When God gives people understanding, they usually take the credit for themselves.

There are other reasons, but that’s mostly it. It’s not a good reason, but it’s the reason.

Now, you can have conversations with God, and this is going to be a short, concise explanation of how to do that. The “Reflection” portions of the lessons in this devotional also teach how to have conversations with God. The way they do it is by asking questions, although you aren’t limited to asking questions. You can tell God you love Him any time you like. You can praise Him and thank Him for all He gives you. And you ought to do that a lot.

These conversations will continue to go deeper. God will reveal all the hidden secrets of truth to you. With truth comes freedom and power for righteousness.

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. Why don’t people talk to God more?
2. What does it mean that you live in an ungodly world?
3. Why don’t people talk about having conversations with God?
4. How does God speak to every person?
5. What does it mean that Jesus is the Light?

Bonus questions:

1. Why do some people take credit for what God gives them?
2. What is the reason people don’t have conversations with God?
3. How can you talk to God in conversations?
4. What kind of things can you tell God when you talk to Him?
5. What kind of questions can you ask God when you talk to Him?

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love. God designed you to be connected to Him. Without that constant connection, nothing works right. Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.

Fishbone (Cause and Effect) Diagram Exercise

Draw a cause and effect diagram that makes sense for this unit. You can read more about cause and effect diagrams in (Fishbone Diagram Info). This simple tool can help you understand how to make things work, why things aren’t working, or why things are happening in a certain way. Review the article and find the most important effect you want to look at and put that in the box on the left end of a line. From the center line, draw one branch for each cause. Think of the branches as streams feeding into the main river that leads to the effect.

Let the Holy Spirit lead you in this. (Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.) Take what you learned, your notes or what you produced and videotape yourself. Be a kid influencer for Christ with your own social media platform by uploading your video as God leads.
