Send us Fan Mail Is it God or just coincidence? How do you know if God is speaking to you, and how can you tell the difference between a genuine sign from God and something you simply want to believe? In this episode, we explore Christian discernment, how to discern God’s voice, and what to do when the same idea, scripture, conversation or theme keeps appearing in your life. We look at biblical examples including Samuel, Gideon and Peter, and ask whether repetition can sometimes be a form of confirmation from God, or whether it may simply be coincidence. We also talk about the danger of seeing signs everywhere, especially when we desperately want something to be true. So how do you test what you think God might be saying? We discuss practical ways to discern God’s will: checking whether it agrees with Scripture, praying for wisdom, listening to trusted Christians, noticing independent confirmations, and looking at the fruit it is producing in your life. This episode also explores the fear of getting it wrong, the temptation to keep asking God for another sign, and the point where discernment may need to become obedience. If you have ever wondered how to know if God is speaking to you, whether something is a sign from God or coincidence, or how to test what God is saying, this conversation is for you. Because repetition is not always confirmation, but sometimes it may be an invitation to listen. Maybe the prayer is not, “God, give me another sign,” but, “God, give me the wisdom to recognise what You are already showing me.” Support the show Support The Muddy Cross Help us keep creating free faith-based conversations and resources https://www.buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross Watch The Muddy Cross over on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuddyCrossPodcast Free faith-based resources Download free Bible studies, devotionals, ebooks and more https://www.themuddycross.com
