Intuition or Spirit?

I received this question in my email yesterday morning:

“Do you think there’s a connection, a relationship, or commonality between notion of intuition and guidance from the spirit?”

My immediate thought was yes.  And after a little more thought I still will respond yes.

I’ll say that God’s Spirit is able to use any part of us to communicate. 

We hear/feel God's message in nature.  

And we are told in scripture that God speaks to us is dreams and visions.  That is written about thought out the Bible, Old and New Testament alike.

I am thinking that God’s voice, the Spirit, is not always verbal.  That is in words we can actually perceive.

We receive God’s messages in all of our senses, through a touch, an action, a sight.

God’s voice came to the Disciple’s in tongues of fire and a mighty wind on the day of Pentecost. (Act. 2)

He spoke to Elijah in sheer silence.  

Paul tells us this:

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.(Rom. 8)

And again in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Paul tells us something quite amazing:

Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?…. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

God's Spirit -- God's breathe -- reside inside of each of us.

So if thats true, and I believe it is, then there is no limit to how, when or where God’s Spirit can communicate with us.

I hope that helps.
