I didn't even no we had this section, anyways...

I have schizophrenia and clicking in my ears and when it audibly clicks God speaks. So I usually ignore it. Then this morning I was driving out to my Dad's with my sister and it clicked and said "he wont be there then he will" and when I finally got out there at 9am he wasn't there. So I went to text him and he had texted me at 5:30am while I was asleep and said "make it at 10am" so I drove with my sister into town where they have bathrooms (kind of a long drive) and came back at 10 and he was there.

Was it a sign gift, and what was the meaning? Thoughts?

With your schizophrenia, it's hard to say. Have you received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

Yeah that's why I usually just ignore it, and I'm on a full dose of meds and pretty sane. But for some reason I still get clicking and God speaks during the clicks.

I have the Holy Spirit reside in me. But yes I've been baptized and had the laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Spirit and feel the Holy Spirit often.

I've been visited by God's Spirit 3 times and filled with Heavenly Love and Peace that lasts for hours after messages from God. I consider that the Holy Spirit: Galatians 5:22-23.

You can still hear the Holy Spirit while having schizophrenia. Just be sure to check such messages against your Bible (where applicable).

Yes the Holy Spirit is quite peaceful and schizophrenia is not, and the Love was not my own. The messages come in quite clear actually. One time the Holy Spirit told me to see a psychiatrist, before I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. And so I saw a doctor and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. And then the next message was that "God can do no evil and Satan can do no good". Then the third message was that my sins were forgiven, in it I saw Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Yes i have schizophrenia as well and there were times the phone would ring and i would know who was on the other end before i picked up the phone or when someone would come to visit us i would know they were coming and what time. Almost as if people were sending me their intentions. The weird thing was that just before a major psychosis i would be so in tune with this ability that i started to announce that so and so would ring us, or come around, in a minute or whatever, and i would be spot on. This started to happen all the time instead of randomly once in the blue moon.

This caused me to think that God was talking to me, for truth comes from God, or so i thought, and that He wanted me to develop this ability. However when i began to focus on my new found ability it soon began to go wrong and i started to believe all kind of untrue things because i heard that in my head. Not only that the more i focussed on my ability the more demanding and audible it became, confusing me utterly and diving me literally mad. It landed me in hospital a few times. Luckily when i went on medicine this ability to see into the future totally disappeared.

Over time i realise that whatever it was it was not from God, and i wasn't anyone special given this amazing ability. For i have learned to understand now that He doesn't speak without purpose and us simply hearing truth statements in our head without knowing what we need to do with that, or for what purpose we heard this, is not how God works. Isaiah 55:10-11

Over the years that followed i have learned to understand that Jesus doesn't talk in my head but that He speaks out of my heart the very truths of Scripture in love for God, myself and my neighbour, The Living Word to be! Honest learning to heed Jesus in our hearts works far better than following our voices in our head, and together with good medicine has brought me my good life back, and a loving relationship with God.

Peace.

I used to get the same thing when I wasn't taking meds. I would know things before they happened and sometimes not. It was hard to shake it too. The delusions are alluring. On the meds I'm able to just ignore them.

Our minds are capable of far more than we realize, I think. Often when I am just a little bit asleep and starting to wake up, the sounds of the real world will combine with my dreams in a way that makes so much sense it's confusing. Like in my dream someone would say they were going to go outside and in real life someone would open the door and go outside. My brain would fuse the two together perfectly as if it knew the future.

What I always figured was that my brain was subconsciously processing audio input from a conversation between people and knew that one of them was about to go outside. So even though that conversation wasn't included in my dream, my mind predicted the sound of a door opening and closing and planned for it. How the timing is so exact though, is still pretty crazy.

Perhaps in schizophrenia you are almost in a dreamlike state while you are awake?

Interestingly that is one of my theories about schizophrenia that your mind is full of subconscious hallucinations from the dream side. And you become crazy with it. The subconscious mind is supposed to be super powerful as reported in some science magazines.

In fact one magazine I read (popular science or something like that) gave instruction on how to lucid dream. Which I practiced for two weeks and started having lucid dreams. It was claimed that you could produce Albert Einstein into your dream and ask him questions. But all I ever got was dead people and the devil. I started getting mild seizures from it for some time and still get them from time to time. Bizarre stuff really.

I would not do lucid dreaming or states of consciousness stuff. Those are things people who are not yet & some who reject the kingdom of God do. It is dabbling in occult practices and it is of no benefit to believers and can be detrimental. A lot of this so called "new age" (which is old age repackaged) stuff is being mainstreamed.

Yeah it was a real bad experience, but presented as a scientific benefit. I just practiced the once and couldn't get rid of it for a long time, then still had miniseizures.

Just have peace, and don't worry or wonder either way..

Perhaps this is one way God comforts you, or perhaps if you give this too much power over you it will not be good for you... I don't know.

so just accept that this instance was a blessing and a comfort, and move on, and trust that God will keep you safe if you continue in the manner your in.

I don't know about schizophrenia but I used to get audible clicks too and it turned out to be sinus pressure. I take daily allergy meds and it went away.

OK that might be why I have clicks. Cause the psych meds should have taken it away.

I want to commend you on your strength and endurance. All that you handle and still you function so well. I really am amazed. If you remember my post I am sure you know why I am amazed. Truly, you are an example we all can learn from. Please continue to amaze and never forget there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My mom appeared to grow out of hers before she died:) God bless you and keep you in peace and good health.
