What do you do when everything around you says one thing, but something on the inside of you is telling you to pause, pivot, or move?
In this episode of The You Are More Podcast, I’m talking about how to hear God’s voice, recognize the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and follow your gut—what I call the inner witness on the inside of you.
If you’ve accepted Jesus, you and God are a majority. You carry an uncommon, unfair advantage because the divine genius of the Most High God lives within you. He can give you wisdom when you do not know what to do, direction when the path is unclear, and the right words when you open your mouth
But how do you become more sensitive to that voice?
You get quiet. You spend time in God’s Word. You ask Him to reveal the hope of your calling and the next step you’re supposed to take. Then, when you receive that nudge, you cooperate with it.
Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is cultivated through obedience. The more you listen and act on what you hear, the more clearly you begin to recognize how He leads you. I also share what I do when something feels “clogged” in my life: I go back and ask whether God gave me an assignment that I ignored or postponed. Sometimes returning to that place of obedience is what unclogs the flow.
I’m also sharing a story about a flight I had booked for a speaking engagement. Everything looked normal, but I could not find peace about getting on the plane. At the last minute, I changed the plan and drove instead. Later, I learned that the airport where I was supposed to connect was hit by an ice storm, and I would have missed the event completely.
That experience reminded me why we have to pay attention to the inner witness—even when the decision looks inconvenient, expensive, or confusing in the natural.
We are living in uncertain times. Elections shift, the economy changes, wars happen, technology advances, and people wonder what AI might mean for their jobs and futures. But uncertainty does not mean you are without direction. God may still be prompting you to start the business, build the building, take the step, or move forward when the circumstances do not look perfect.
Where He guides, He provides. There is provision for the vision.
I also compare following the Holy Spirit to an instrument-rated pilot. A pilot may physically feel as if the plane is turning or dropping, but the instruments show the truth. The pilot has to trust the instruments over feelings, emotions, and appearances.
In the same way, the Holy Spirit is our instrument. We have to learn to trust His voice over fear, anxiety, the headlines, and what circumstances seem to be saying.
In this episode, I talk about:
• Why you and God are a majority
• The uncommon advantage you carry through the Holy Spirit
• How to get quiet enough to hear God’s still, small voice
• Why acting on a prompting strengthens your sensitivity to His leading
• How delayed obedience can clog the flow in your life
• The flight decision that protected an important speaking engagement
• How to move forward through political, economic, and technological uncertainty
• Why where God guides, He provides
• What an instrument-rated pilot can teach us about trusting God over our feelings
• How one word from heaven can change everything
My prayer is that you leave this episode knowing you are not powerless, directionless, or alone. God has you. Your steps are ordered. Keep listening, keep obeying, and keep moving forward.
You and God are a majority—and that means you win.
