am i missing something

[juniorswife]

hi all I'm new to this but i can really say i have a strange life. first of all i hear stuff i thought was GOD talking to me then my inner self but come to find out it is possibly my spirit guides. i had a cousin who was teaching me to listen to my intuitions but they always came slow or shall i say to late. she would some what telepathy and tell me something about a situation in the past present or future and i heard the exact same thing but i didn't notice it until she says it an dbrings it to my remembrance then i will hear something i am supposed to do or not and it will be a day to late or something so I'm wondering do i have delayed intuition or something cause i am getting the messages bit just a bit to late or is it that  i doubt myself and just let the thought pass through with out concerning myself with it either way i need some help   thanks to any one who replies :exclamation:

Hi juniorswife, welcome to the forums.  

I'd say you are learning to recognise the voice as your inner self, or "higher self" as it often gets called. Many people do get the same feeling of having God talking to them, and that's largely correct. However, that's some philosophical reasoning you might not want to get into right now.

Suffice it to say, we do all have one primary guide in our lives  - our own spirit - our higher self. It carries the wisdom and knowledge of many lifetimes, as well as connects us to the higher realms. Mostly it will communicate to us through our subconscious and dream images, through gut feelings or intuition, and sometimes verbally, like having a voice in our head giving us quiet directions.

Get to know that voice, but more importantly, get to know your feelings and intuition. These are the greatest and truest guides you can have.

If you feel that you're getting the messages a little late, I'd say that you're getting it on time, but not recognising or trusting what your gettting. Once the confirmation comes, you realise that you'd already got the message, you just didn't act on it.

That's ok. We've all got to start somewhere, and the fact that you are recognising your intuition for what it is has given you a big step in the right direction.
Doubt is something we all have to work hard at overcoming. The best way to do this is to keep on recognising the signals your intuition is giving you. Keep listening to that inner voice guidance, and don't over-think or over analyse what your getting. Trust that the messages come from a higher source than your own thoughts. The more you do this, the more you'll come to trust it, and the more it will work for you. The doubt will be dispelled with practice, and you'll find yourself gettin gthe messages more and morea ahead of time rather than too late.

Blessings,
James.
