Summary

Have you ever sensed a strong nudge to call someone, avoid a situation, or step toward an opportunity—and then chalked it up to coincidence? Those moments may not be coincidences at all. They may be the quiet, unheralded working of the Holy Spirit in your life. Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws from Scripture to examine the Spirit’s subtle but powerful ministry of inner promptings—those hunches, convictions, and flashes of clarity that guide believers toward God’s purposes when they are paying attention. Cultivate your sensitivity to the Spirit’s voice. Identify His promptings, trust them, and respond with faith and obedience.

1:25.8	The result is that Elijah wraps his mantle around him and walks toward God,
1:28.6	whether than from him, comes to the mouth of the cave and is led ultimately to meet up with Elijah, and they, together as partners, make their way
1:34.9	right on until Elijah is taken off the earth. With his mantle wrapped around him, he began to
1:41.4	pursue further and further God's plan for his life. It broke what had paralyzed
1:48.7	him. But the point I want to make is the turning point was this unidentified inner prompting,

2:09.6	Because I think it works against the voice of God, quietly speaking to reach us. Take time. Take time to listen. God's voice may be in the
2:25.3	earthquake or the fire. There are messages there. You'll hear his voice in those quiet moments
2:31.7	when it comes like a gentle rustling, a reassuring word that life is worth living,
