I know when God is speaking to me when I'm under conviction. Last week He made things very uncomfortable for me. I couldn't eat or sleep, I felt heavy hearted, walked around like a zombie and dropped a lot of weight. Now, that I have supposedly made the right choice (I'm still not sure if I did or not) I don't feel anything anymore.
Anyways, being convicted is an obvious feeling and a good thing even though its not always comfortable, but what about when He just speaks to us as our loving father for little things like a job decision or when we ask what His will is for our life? i never hear anything from Him like that. A friend of mine, who is the most spirit filled person I know, hears from God all the time. He also speaks in tounges and falls out on the floor and stuff like that. God lead him to work in a school teaching young childrend about right and wrong decisions and sharing his testimony with them. he's an ex drug dealer, hustler, addict, you name it, so his testimony is quite strong. He wasn't making but 8 bucks an hour doing it but he knew that's where God wanted him.
God dosen't play favorites but is my friend just closer to God than I? Perhaps his heart is right and mine isn't.

That dosent sound like God at all to me. Sounds like the enemy condemning you based on a law Christ made you free from. God dosent bring misery on you to punish you. God's not some angry person in the sky rewarding those who do good and punishing those who do bad. None of us are good and He rains on the wicked and just alike. At some point you're going to have to accept that this is the enemy doing this to you. Playing with your mind. God is not of confusion.
God speaks from your heart, through the Spirit. You "feel" the pull of the heart, that's Him leading you. You have to get your head out of the way, to hear Him.

According to my Life Principles Bible, Dr Charles Stanley does in fact say that God can make things uncomfortable for you when He's pressing you to make a decision but yes, my girlfriend says the devil was decieving me. All I know is I had never felt that way in my life and I have rebuked the devil a few times and he fled. When I rebuked him during this period, the feeling still lingered. It wasnt till I decided to look at pornography to make myself "feel better" that the conviction went away. After I sinned, my appeptite came back and I started to feel separated from God. It sucks, I'd rather feel conviction than nothing at all

God will make you "uncomfortable" in your heart because whatever is going on is in contradiction to Gods love for one another. Not in your mind. His laws are written on your heart. You either trust the Spirit or you don't. Like seeing a homeless person. One with Chirst in them will feel the Spirit pull them to give. Yet, we will let the voices in our head talk us out of obeying. This one, most people can relate to which is why I use it.
I agree with your wife as it relates to the enemy. You got played and the enemy is still taking dominion over your thoughts, thus he controls your actions. When it ends, is up to you.
god dont work that way hun ok that sounds like satan condeming you but there is no condemnation when your in christ jesus

Well I must have been doing something that Satan wasn't happy about because he kept attacking me in my sleep, waking me up in the middle of the night, putting thoughts of being "unsaved" and "doomed" in my head. Now, however, I've been sleeping pretty good. I want him to attack so I can rebuke him in the name of Jesus as I have been doing. I'm afraid he has shaken my faith to the point that he doesn't need to attack anymore cause he's accomplished what he set out to do. who knows.

i want Him to speak to me thru His word as well, but I can't help but feel like its just words when i read it. i want those words to jump off the page and slap me in the face.

OP...One thing you need to know for sure is;
The LORD does not condemn.
The LORD convicts...the Holy Spirit's work is conviction.
When you feel condemnation in your heart
Its the enemy
The LORD's conviction is gentle but firm. Its a feeling in your heart, not one where you can't eat or get any sleep or lose weight to the point of depression.
However I must tell you, for those the Lord has called for a special purpose, He will make them feel uncomfortable if they decide to run. I know this from different testimonies, and Jonah from the Bible is a good example. They will not have enough rest until they yield the call of God. So in this case, its different because God is calling them to service, not to anything else.
If you are praying to God for forgiveness of a certain sin, and you still keep feeling condemned after that prayer, then its the enemy, not God
There was something I did at a time before I became born again, when i newly became born again, I kept praying this prayer of forgiveness even after I was prophetically told (by pastors etc) that i have been forgiven. I would still feel some condemnation in my heart, and would keep thinking...'what if really God hadn't forgiven me, that I'm only making myself feel good because I want to'
It bothered me and then The Lord spoke to me in my dream where the scene replayed itself, and He told me He had forgiven me when I FIRST asked for forgiveness, that the moment I turned my life to Him, He had taken care of everything I did in the past, and he stressed that I should stop worrying about that.
Friend, The Lord is good, and faithful, kind and merciful
Your friend hears The Lord because everything he does is about The Lord. He gives his time, attention, trust and faith in The Lord.
Its not because your heart isnt right, thats not why you are not hearing from Him?
Have you availed yourself to hear from The Lord? Have you made sacrifices and say 'Its either this or nothing?'
The Lord in many cases specifically use people who have been through everything you would call 'WRONG' in life. When He draws them back to Him, its for His glory, to testify to others that this is what The Lord can and will do.
Apostle Paul was a rebel before Christ called him. He was everything that a child of God would avoid. He wanted to kill all Christians. But when The Lord called him, He was a changed man when the Spirit of The Lord came upon Him.
Who was better to proclaim the good news of The Lord around there at the time? He served The Lord well, and turned many people to Christ, and people were amazed at how much He had changed and how much God used him.
Draw close to The Lord, and He will draw close to you. Desire and yearn to hear His voice, and His thoughts, and avail yourself, trusting in Him unwaveringly, believing that He can and He will..

Sometimes when I post on here I realize its nt truly me speaking but the God speaking through me...thruogh the Holy SPirit in me. Because honestly I have a hard time typing out what I have to say. But when God takes over everything comes out perfectly! As I've started to build a stronger relationship with God I do hear him talk to me, not literally, but I just.....feel something. Likes he nudging me about something.
Such as for the past few weeks I feel hes nudging me and my fiance to do some ministry work in Isreal.
