How to Hear God : A Beginner’s Guide to the Miracle of Presence
“The heart of prayer is not talking. It is being in love.” -Mother Teresa
“I choose all… I choose everything that He gives.” -St. Thérèse of Lisieux
I do not fear the darkness, for within it burns the Heart of Christ.
GoOD Morning to you!
I was thinking yesterday about the Sacred Heart of Jesus image. And how that’s exactly what I feel and try to express in words here each day, in every reel, on every podcast episode… my whole life… my heart is on fire for God, for truth, for Love, for you.
My prayers are for you. Every bead that passes through my fingers. Every time I receive communion. Every period of Silence, it is my prayer that the Silence heals, feeds, and prospers you. That It- He-reveals Himself to you more and more. He is calling your name. Constantly.
Today, I invite you to listen for Him.
One Way: Drop It in the Well
Feel the fire in your chest, the silence between your ears, behind your eyes and nose, and feel that energy come in, as if from behind. Let the Silence be the calling. Ask It questions like you’d drop a penny in a well:
“What are you saying to me, Jesus? Open my eyes, my heart, my ears. Tell me what you want me to know…”
And then drop it.
Silence.
Love.
That’s the first form the answer takes. Let that be enough.
Then, miracles.
Another Way: Sit in the Feeling
Close your eyes. Picture someone you love who has passed, a person who loved you purely. See them smiling at you. Let that image open your heart until you feel it: that warmth rising in your chest or belly.
That’s Him.
That Love is Jesus. The image fades, but The Feeling stays. The Love remains. And now, every movement is in that Love. Move your hand. Wiggle your toes. Clench your fist. Keep feeling.
The Love is louder.
The Love is realer than the thoughts. Realer than the fear. Realer than this screen. That’s how you know it’s Him.
Continue: Return (Again and Again)
You will lose the Feeling.
You’ll try to hold on, and your mind will race. But come back. Come back 1,000,305 times if you have to.
That’s what makes a Saint, a Saint.
And when it gets hard? Remember your person. Let their smile guide you back. And when even that fades, jump straight to the Feeling. Straight to Christ. Straight to the Silence that answers everything.
This is what I’ve practiced since 2014. I used to lose that feeling for days… then hours… now it’s seconds. A blink. But the key was always the same:
Return.
“You’ve been trying to hold a higher vibration. You’ve been trying to hold Me. But I hold. And I loose.” –Jesus to Nikki
Unblock Your Life with the Blood
UNBLOCKED BY THE BLOOD – “God, do it all.”
This is the miracle prayer I created when affirmations stopped working, when the warfare felt endless (and like it was looped… groundhogs day), and when I needed Biblical-level breakthrough. Not self-help. Not hustle. THE BLOOD.
When you’ve tried everything…
When you’re tired of feeling stuck, anxious, broke, delayed, or spiritually numb…
Plead the Blood of Jesus.
“This is the practice the enemy never wanted you to know.”
