When you talk to Jesus, how do you get the answer, how do you hear or understand what Jesus wants you to understand. What happens inside you so that you know?

Every time is different. Most times not immediate answers, perhaps because most times my prayers/questions are ignorant and self-assuming.When you talk to Jesus, how do you get the answer, how do you hear or understand what Jesus wants you to understand. What happens inside you so that you know?

Amen @Blade that was extremely encouraging and refreshing to read. I just want to say it's nice to read about someone who also hears Jesus and doesn't deny Christ's ability to speak to us. Yes we need to use discernment and Yes we need to not just believe whatever we hear but it is true that Jesus does speak and when He does we truly know it.It may be silly but.. I do the same thing when I pray for anyone.. always repent of any sin and.. Jesus forgive me of any sin I don't remember and hold it not to my charge/account.
What matters here is not what I say or anyone else. Its wise to ask but in the end we must do the praying seeking LISTENING. See we must come to a point where we just believe that if HE said it then no matter what anyone says or what we feel or see.. we by faith believe. We read John 3 16 believe that. What about Luke 11 13? Did we read it and just do it and believe? Did not Jesus say my sheep hear my voice. He can not lie. How do you know? You just know that you know that you know. Ever read the word BIBLE and some verses just JUMP out? Some ..for some odd reason you can not get past them? Its HIM talking also talking to you.
We do so many things before we try to wait on Him.. and just listen. Like praying seeking Him.. worshiping Him.. then just wait on Him. Keep doing this.. KNOWING not wondering KNOWING He always talks. He will ALWAYS back up what He says with His word. What HE says will always be in line with His word. Always for the good.. never negative and always with peace. We have the peace of God.. we have peace Christ gave us not as the world gives. We have the JOY of the lord. We are strong in the power of HIS might. We can do all things through Christ. All things are possible to them that believe. On and on and on. ALL of this ..there is key.. its ALL HIM!
We tend to ask things.. even about hearing and then wait on Him.. and then? Nothing happened! Lol.. We put GOD on some time table? So many things with God He wants to make sure this is what we truly want. Then it matters not... to just pray seek Him.. worship Him.. you will find in those moments you NEVER want them to stop! Tell HIM all you said.. KNOW He heard you.. then KNOW He will answer. Hes not man.. Read His word.. everything He promised OT NT He will do period
It's interesting you ask this and I will gladly share how I hear God.When you talk to Jesus, how do you get the answer, how do you hear or understand what Jesus wants you to understand. What happens inside you so that you know?

The Holy Spirit leads all truly regenerated Christians. These Christian's never seek or demand answers because God has made His home in them. He already knows before we ask. This is the " small still voice" that speaks to our spirit when we least expect it.When you talk to Jesus, how do you get the answer, how do you hear or understand what Jesus wants you to understand.

I prayed a lot to hear Jesus and The Holy Spirit speak to me. I started to hear by hearing what people were saying, like whenever they said something that felt almost as if The Holy Spirit was speaking through them, I could tell it brought peace and always had to do with something that was on my mind. This would happen often with believers but also a lot with genuine people that allowed their habits and lifestyles and thoughts to be good.
I believe God can use anyone to talk to us.
The next step was my own thoughts. At first I thought they were my own thoughts but I realized when I would encourage myself or think of scripture it was almost as if those thoughts came from somewhere else, inside of me yes but now I know it was The Holy Spirit.
After 5 years of discerning my thoughts and asking Jesus to talk to me I can successfully say that yes Jesus and The Holy Spirit do and can talk to me, but yes the enemy does sometimes try and interrupt and say something to trip me up so I constantly have to be vigilant and discerning.
Also I am diagnosed Schizophrenic so if you're wondering "isn't hearing things a mental illness" yes the world does call it that. Wouldn't the world probably call Jesus and prophets and anyone who heard God Schizophrenic too?
Thanks for your response And yes I am very careful of what I believe. Most of the time I don't hear anything and The Holy Spirit is calm and reminds me of scripture. If I hear something not from God I ask for quiet just as Jesus told those that were possessed to stop talking about Him, "And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him." Mark 1:34Some fellow Christians have called me crazy more than once for this same thing. There were times in life when a verbal warning would cross my mind (And to this day I can't say if it were an audible voice, a clear thought or both), but this did end up saving my life a number of times. So, the idea of a crazy person imagining things that end up saving his life would make no sense. People should just be careful when dealing with spiritual entities. The enemy loves to pretend to be God. And if you ever experience anything seeming to come from God, then just ask nicely "Please confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord" An evil spirit would argue, fail to say it, and say anything else but that." Just know, if you ever get a response along the lines of "Yes, Jesus Christ is the Lord" - then you are dealing with the one and only Spirit of Truth. You have that right to test any spirit in this way. This one truth made all the difference in defending myself against evil spirits.
