My answer to your question.....

Dear Seeking Vision,

I decided to blog the answer to your email , just encase someone else may feel the way that we both did...a portion of your email stated, "My family wants nothing to do with Christ. I myself have no understanding of the whole thing. But I am trying to see what it is, so my family can receive this Holy Ghost that is talked about so often. I cry daily to God asking him to please show us something, anything. I donʼt want my babies to grow up looking to others. I want them to get answers right from the source. I mean if all these prophets and so forth in the Bible could hear his voice, why not us. I want God to talk to me and my family. How do I do this?"

Good morning my precious sister in Christ. I am NO counselor by far, but I know from my own experiences with Christ. I use to ask myself this same question. Then I started searching for the answer, just like you. I desired the Lord so much that I could not stop seeking the One who I heard was so madly in love with me. Then I got down on my knees and asked Jesus Christ into my heart. Made Him my Lord and my Savior. First ,know that the voice of the Lord will always be heard by His children. You have to accept Him as your Lord, ask Him into your heart as your personal Savior, become a child of the living God. Find a church of Jesus Christ and talk to someone there and have them pray with you and help get the answers to the questions you have in your heart.

John 18:37 says: Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

God never lets a thirsty soul run dry. KNOW THAT. If you are seeking Him, He is going to pour Himself into your life. Keep Seeking..... You are so precious to Him and He speaks to you more times before you even open your eyes than we can speak to him in a life time. The Holy Spirit is with you every second crying out to the Father in your defense and crying out to you for you to just lay your issues at His feet, He truly wants to guide you. Just let Him."you have not because you ask not" Matt 7:7 You have to just LISTEN. Open your ears to Him and close them to distraction that may be keeping you from His voice. His voice is so precious and full of love and hope. Never even a hint of condemnation. Most conversations will start with,' I love you ....." then followed by all He sees in you and wants for you. How full of purpose and worth your are to Him. How you are indeed His princess and wants you to walk in the honor of that name, a child of God. Sometimes when we pray, we are just going on and on and on and on and on.......we do not give God a chance to say one word. We do all the talking.........next time, in the peace and quiet of your bedroom, or even in the shower, your own special place....try to talk to Him a little....but then say,"ok Daddy, its your turn, you have my full attention" Then just keep silent. You will hear His voice. It will burrow up deep from with in you....it may only be a few words of encouragement at first...or it may just be Him telling you He loves you and He hears you.....whatever it is.....I promise it will wash over you like living water. And you will fall deeply in love with Him. And you will make more and more and more "dates" with just you and the Lord. And you will get to know His voice, the more you read His word, His precious love letter, and pray and conversate with Him. Before you know it, you will sometimes see HIM starting the conversation. :-) How amazing, the eternal one, WANTING to start a conversation with us. :-) wow...... You are so precious to Him......I can feel His excitement already....He is so happy that you want to hear His voice....He is so in love with you!!!! Had to reply to your note..... I Love you and I pray that you open up to the Lord and enjoy the time in the arms of your Father......

Happily His Princess
