Sign One: Peace
When you are walking closely with Me and following My will for your life, one of the clearest signs that you are on the right path is a deep, abiding sense of peace in your heart, even in the midst of life's storms and challenges. Remember, the peace I give surpasses all understanding. This means that even when circumstances around you are chaotic, confusing, and difficult, I am able to grant you supernatural peace on the inside that doesn't seem to make earthly sense. This peace doesn't come from positive circumstances but from trusting in My goodness and sovereignty.
Think of the time when My Son, Jesus, was with His disciples on the Sea of Galilee, as told in Mark 4:35-41. A terrible storm arose, and the wind and waves were raging, tossing their boat around violently. The disciples were understandably terrified, fearing for their lives. Yet, amidst this intense storm, Jesus was asleep peacefully on a cushion in the stern of the boat. The disciples woke Him, amazed that He could sleep through such turmoil, and cried out, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" Jesus got up, rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Immediately, the storm subsided, and all was calm. Jesus then asked the disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
This story powerfully illustrates the supernatural peace available to you when you put your faith in Me. Just as Jesus was not worried or afraid in the storm because He knew the storm was under His command, when you trust that I am in control, that I am good, and that I am working all things together for your ultimate good, you too can experience profound peace in the midst of any storm you face. Whether it be relational conflict, financial hardship, health issues, or any number of life's challenges, this peace is not something you can manufacture on your own. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit that grows in your life as you abide in My Son. It results from walking closely with Me, spending time in My Word and in prayer, and surrendering your life to My will.
So, if you are going through a stormy season and you feel a deep, inexplicable peace and calm in your spirit, even if things still look tumultuous on the outside, take it as a sign that you are right where I want you to be. Let your mind and heart be guarded by My peace as you keep your eyes fixed on Me. I am with you, I am for you, and I will carry you through to the other side of this storm. Trust in Me, keep walking closely with your Good Shepherd, and let My peace be your constant companion on the journey.
Sign Two: Hunger for Scripture
When you find yourself on the path that I have set before you, one of the clearest signs is an intense, growing hunger for scripture. As you walk closely with Me and align your steps with My perfect plan, your soul begins to crave the life-giving sustenance of the Bible like never before. Just as the psalmist described his longing for Me as a deer panting for streams of water, so your spirit thirsts to drink deeply from the bottomless well of wisdom found in My holy word.
Sleep becomes less important than savoring precious moments, pouring over the pages of scripture. Rising early before the demands of the day or burning the midnight oil becomes a joy, not a burden, as you feast on the nourishing truths I reveal in the Bible. You may have read certain passages dozens of times before, but now it’s as if you are seeing them with fresh eyes, uncovering new insights and gems that both challenge and encourage you. Verses you’ve known since childhood take on new layers of meaning; the words on the page seem to leap into your heart, fortifying your faith and anchoring your soul to what is true and eternal.
In Psalm 119:103, David exclaims, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” When you delight in My commands and esteem My precepts as more valuable than gold, it is evidence that your spiritual taste buds are maturing. What once seemed bland or boring is now bursting with vibrant flavors, providing refreshment for your weary soul, light for your path, a sword to battle enemy attacks, and a salve to heal wounds.
Craving My word is a clear sign that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life, sanctifying you and transforming you from the inside out. My Son, Jesus, affirmed this in His powerful prayer in John 17:17 when He asked, “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” The more you immerse yourself in scripture, the more you will reflect the character of Christ and be equipped to follow My will.
If you find yourself excitedly anticipating your daily appointments in the word, if verses frequently come to mind throughout the day, if you are quick to seek My perspective in the pages of the Bible when faced with questions and concerns, rejoice! These are all indications that you are on the right track, that you are exactly where I want you to be. Keep showing up, keep diving in, and watch in awe as I speak into your life through My living and active word. For the more you know My word, the more you will know My heart, and there is no greater adventure than that.
Sign Three: New Boldness
When you find yourself filled with a newfound boldness to share your faith, it’s a powerful sign that I am affirming you are on the right path. This holy courage wells up from within, empowered by the Holy Spirit, giving you the strength and conviction to proclaim the hope of the Gospel to those around you.
In the book of Acts, we see a striking example of this in the early church. After being filled with the Holy Spirit, the disciples spoke My word with boldness. They were no longer timid or afraid, but instead were energized with the divine courage to share the truth of Christ’s love and salvation with all who would listen.
This same boldness is evident in your own life when you’re walking in step with My Spirit. Where once you may have shied away from faith conversations, hesitant to bring up spiritual matters, you now find yourself eagerly looking for opportunities to share your testimony and the good news of the Gospel. Your heart burns with a desire to see others come to know the life-changing love and grace of Jesus Christ.
This passion is beautifully illustrated in the story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Led by the Spirit, Philip ran up to the eunuch’s chariot and boldly shared the Gospel, explaining the scriptures and leading the man to faith in Christ. Like Philip, you find yourself ready and willing to engage in spiritual discussions, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide your words and touch the hearts of those you share with.
This newfound boldness is not a result of your own confidence or eloquence, but rather it flows from My empowering presence in your life. As you surrender to My will and allow the Spirit to work through you, you’ll discover a supernatural courage to proclaim the truth even in the face of opposition or skepticism. Your boldness may manifest in various ways.
Whether it’s striking up a conversation with a coworker, sharing your faith story with a friend, or even proclaiming the gospel to a stranger you meet in your daily life, you’ll find yourself more sensitive to the promptings of My Spirit, ready to step out in faith and be a witness for Christ whenever and wherever I lead. As you continue to walk closely with Me, this holy boldness will only grow stronger. You’ll experience a deepening conviction of the truth of the gospel and an increasing urgency to share it with others. Your life will become a living testament to the transformative power of Christ as you boldly declare His love and invite others to experience the abundant life He offers. So take heart and be encouraged. This newfound boldness to share your faith is a clear sign that you are indeed on the right path, aligned with My purposes and empowered by My Spirit. Embrace this holy courage and step out in faith, knowing that as you proclaim the hope of the gospel, lives will be forever changed by the power of Christ’s love.
Sign Four: Experiencing My Faithfulness
My friends, when you are walking the path that I have laid out for you, one of the most encouraging signs is seeing My faithfulness manifested in tangible ways in your life. As you trust in My guidance and follow My leading, I demonstrate My unwavering commitment to providing for your every need. Just as the Apostle Paul declared in Philippians 4:19, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Throughout the Bible, you will find numerous examples of My faithfulness to those who follow Me. One such instance is the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17:2-6. During a time of drought and famine, I instructed Elijah to go and live by the Brook Cherith, east of the Jordan River. In this desolate wilderness, I promised to sustain Elijah, and I did so in a most remarkable way. Each morning and evening, I sent ravens to bring bread and meat to the prophet, ensuring that his physical needs were met. This miraculous provision served as a powerful reminder of My steadfast love and care for My servant.
When you are on the right path, you too will experience Me meeting your needs in personal and practical ways. These providential encounters serve as confirmation that you are precisely where I want you to be. It may not always be as dramatic as ravens bringing you food, but My provision is no less miraculous or meaningful. Perhaps you find yourself in need of wisdom for a critical decision, and suddenly a trusted friend or mentor reaches out with the exact insight you needed. Maybe you are facing a financial challenge, and unexpectedly you receive a generous gift or a new opportunity that helps you weather the storm. Or perhaps you are feeling lonely and disconnected, and out of the blue, you meet someone who becomes a cherished friend and source of encouragement.
These tangible expressions of My faithfulness are like love notes from your Heavenly Father, reminding you that I see you, know your needs, and am actively involved in your life. When you experience these personal and practical interventions, it is as if I am saying, “I am here with you. You are on the right path. Keep trusting Me, and I will continue to guide and provide for you.”
As you continue to walk in obedience to My leading, take time to reflect on the ways I have shown My faithfulness to you. Remember the answered prayers, the timely provision, and the unexpected blessings. These memories will strengthen your faith and encourage you to persevere even when the path ahead seems uncertain or challenging. In those moments when doubts arise, and you find yourself questioning whether you are truly following My will, look back on the tangible evidence of My faithfulness. Let these experiences serve as a reminder that I am with you every step of the way, leading you, guiding you, and providing for you just as I promised.
As you stay the course and continue to trust in My plan for your life, you will discover that My faithfulness knows no bounds. I will continue to meet your needs, both big and small, in ways that will leave you in awe of My love and care. And as you share your stories of My faithfulness with others, you will become a living testament to the truth that when you follow My path, I am always faithful to provide.
Sign Five: God’s Pleasure
When you are walking in alignment with My will for your life, one of the most profound and beautiful signs is the sense of My pleasure washing over you. It’s a feeling that is hard to describe but unmistakable when experienced. In those moments, you just know deep in your spirit that your Heavenly Father is delighted with the path you are on.
As believers, you are called to live in the center of My will—that sweet spot where your lives are fully surrendered to My plans and purposes. When you are obedient to follow My leading, even when it may not make sense to your human understanding, you position yourselves to experience the fullness of My pleasure. The Bible tells you in Psalm 149:4 that I take pleasure in My people. Just as any good earthly father takes joy in seeing his children thrive and make wise choices, My heart swells with pride and delight when you walk in My ways. I am a good, good Father who wants the very best for you.
You may sense My pleasure in quiet moments of prayer and communion with Me. As you pour out your heart and align your will with Mine, you can almost tangibly feel My smile of approval. It’s like a warm embrace from Heaven, assuring you that you are on the right track. My pleasure over your life can also be confirmed through the encouragement and affirmation of other believers. The Bible says that you are to build each other up and spur one another on in your faith. When you are walking in obedience to Me, fellow Christians who are tuned into the Holy Spirit may sense it and speak words of blessing and confirmation over you. Their encouragement can be like a megaphone, amplifying My pleasure.
Basking in My pleasure is one of the most incredible experiences you can have as believers. It’s like a heavenly hug, a divine stamp of approval on your lives. When you sense My pleasure, you can have confidence and assurance that you are walking in My will and fulfilling My purposes for your life. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the path will always be easy or without challenges, but even in the midst of trials and difficulties, you can hold fast to the unshakable truth that your Heavenly Father is well pleased with you. My pleasure over you is not based on your performance or perfection but on your position as My beloved child.
So if you sense My pleasure over your life, rejoice and be encouraged. You are on the right path, aligned with My will and purposes. Keep pressing forward in obedience and faith, knowing that I am smiling over you every step of the way. As you continue to walk in My ways, you will experience more and more of My delight and affirmation. Rest in My love, trust in My plan, and enjoy the incredible blessing of living in the center of My will.
Sign Six: Being Filled with Thanksgiving
Being filled with thanksgiving in all circumstances is a powerful sign that you are walking in step with My Spirit and trusting in My plan for your life. When you have faith that I am working everything together for your ultimate good, as promised in Romans 8:28, it allows you to maintain a grateful heart no matter what challenges or hardships you may be facing.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 urges you to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is My will for you in Christ Jesus. This means adopting an attitude of gratitude and praise even in the midst of trials and difficulties. It’s a way of declaring that I am still good and worthy of thanks.
Even when life is hard, having a thankful spirit doesn’t mean denying the reality of pain or struggle. Rather, it’s about keeping an eternal perspective and remembering that your present sufferings are temporary in light of eternity. You can rejoice always because you know that I am using every situation, even the tough ones, to strengthen your faith and shape you to be more like My Son, Christ.
James 1:2-4 says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Hardships are never pleasant, but I can use them to refine you like gold and develop spiritual endurance.
Choosing to give thanks in all things is ultimately an acknowledgment that My ways and thoughts are infinitely higher than your own, as described in Isaiah 55:8-9. You may not always understand why I allow certain things to happen, but you can trust My wisdom, goodness, and love. I see the big picture and know the end from the beginning.
So if you find yourself overflowing with gratitude despite life’s ups and downs, take it as a sign that you are in tune with My Spirit. You are living with faith, keeping an eternal perspective, and trusting My sovereign plan. As you continue walking closely with Me and praising Me in all things, I will guide you along the right paths and use all things for your ultimate good and My glory.
Sign Seven: Increased Sensitivity to Sin
As you earnestly seek to follow My path for your life, you will find that your heart becomes more and more attuned to My will. The closer you draw to Me, the more I illuminate areas of sin and weakness in your life that you may have previously been blind to. This is beautifully illustrated in Psalm 139:23-24, where David prays, “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
As you invite Me to search your hearts, I faithfully reveal hidden faults and purify you from the inside out. When confronted with My blazing holiness, you cannot help but become acutely aware of your own sinfulness in comparison. Much like the prophet Isaiah who cried out, “Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty,” exposure to My glory brings you to your knees in repentance.
Yet, this heightened sensitivity to sin should not drive you to despair but rather to godly sorrow. 2 Corinthians 7:10 tells you that “godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.” When My Holy Spirit convicts you of sin, He does so not to condemn you but to lovingly guide you to repentance and renewed obedience.
As you walk with Christ, your conscience becomes more sensitive, and your hatred of sin grows. You find yourselves deeply grieved over thoughts, attitudes, and actions that you once easily dismissed or rationalized away. This is a sure sign of the sanctifying work of My Holy Spirit within you, conforming you to the image of Christ. Though the path of progressive sanctification is often painful, as it requires putting your flesh to death, it leads to a deeper, more intimate relationship with Me and a life that reflects My glory.
So take heart, My beloved. Embrace this increased sensitivity to sin as a sign that you are on the right path, aligned with My will and purposes. Continue to seek My face, repent of your sins, and walk in My ways. I am with you, guiding you every step of the way, refining you, and transforming you into the likeness of My Son.
You can rejoice that I am at work, preparing you for eternity with Me. A heightened sensitivity to sin is not a discouraging sign that you are failing but rather an encouraging confirmation that you are indeed on the right path, being transformed from one degree of glory to another. As you humbly turn from sin and walk in obedience, you experience the incomparable joy of friendship with Me. So if you find yourself more painfully aware of your shortcomings than ever before, do not lose heart. Recognize this as the discipline of a loving Father who desires your holiness and is faithfully guiding you in the way everlasting. Press on in repentance and faith, knowing that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Sign Eight: Divine Appointments and Connections
When you are walking in alignment with My will for your life, one of the clearest signs is that you begin to experience divine appointments and connections. These are encounters that I sovereignly orchestrate to propel you forward on the path I have laid out for you. In the Bible, we see a beautiful example of this in the story of Ruth. After facing tragedy and loss, Ruth chose to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Israel. Ruth had no idea what lay ahead, but she trusted that I would provide. As she set out to glean grain in the fields to support herself and Naomi, I arranged for her to end up in the field of Boaz, a close relative.
This divine appointment was no coincidence. I positioned Ruth in the right place at the right time to meet Boaz. He was a man of noble character who not only allowed Ruth to glean in his fields but ensured she was treated with respect and had more than enough. Boaz became Ruth's kinsman redeemer, marrying her and restoring both her and Naomi. Through this divinely orchestrated relationship, Ruth became part of the lineage of Jesus Christ.
In the same way, when you are submitted to My plans, you will find yourself meeting the right people at the right time. These encounters aren't random; they are God-ordained connections designed to provide what you need to fulfill your calling. It may be a new job opportunity, a mentor who can provide wisdom and guidance, a partnership that helps expand your impact, or resources that sustain you during challenging seasons. The people I place in your path are not there by accident. They are strategically positioned by Me to speak encouragement when you need it most, open doors that seemed closed, provide skills and support that you lack, and ultimately join you in furthering My kingdom.
Seeing My hand so clearly in your relationships and circumstances is a major confirmation that you are on the right track. When you are walking in obedience, I direct your steps and surround you with people who propel you toward My purposes. Just like I wove Ruth's story so intricately, I am working behind the scenes of your life to put you in the right place at the right time to fulfill the plans I have for you. Proverbs 16:9 says, "In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." When you surrender your own agenda and trust Me to order your steps, that's exactly what I do.
Even when it feels like happenstance, you can be assured that I am orchestrating the details of your life and the people you meet to accomplish My good purposes. I am the master weaver, creating a beautiful tapestry out of each divinely appointed thread. So if you find yourself suddenly making connections that catapult you forward, meeting people who help make your God-given dreams a reality, and seeing relationships bear fruit in ways only I could engineer, rejoice! These divine appointments are a clear sign that you are right where I want you, following My lead. I am ordering your steps and bringing the right people across your path to accomplish My plans through you.
Sign Nine: Humble Service
My friends, one of the clearest signs that you are walking the path I have laid out for you is a growing desire to humbly serve others, just as My Son, Jesus, did.
Christ’s entire earthly ministry was marked by compassionate, selfless service. He didn’t come to be served but to serve. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, comforted the brokenhearted, and ultimately gave His life as a ransom for many. As you grow closer to Jesus and abide in Him, I begin to transform your heart to be more like Christ's. The Holy Spirit fills you with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This inner transformation manifests outwardly in a life poured out in service to others.
You find yourself noticing the needs around you more—the lonely neighbor, the stressed single mom, the elderly person needing home repairs, the co-worker going through a hard time. More than just noticing, you feel a strong pull to step in and help, even at the cost of your own convenience or comfort. Your service might look like paying for a stranger’s groceries, babysitting for free to give parents a much-needed date night, shoveling snow for the neighbor, or listening patiently to a friend who needs to vent. No act of kindness is too small. The key is that it comes from a heart that has been radically changed by an encounter with Me, the Living God.
Like the Good Samaritan in Jesus’s famous parable, you’re willing to go out of your way, get your hands dirty, and put others' interests above your own. While everyone else is rushing by focused on their own priorities, you take the time to stop and care for the downtrodden and discouraged souls I place in your path. Choosing to live this way is not natural—it goes against your self-centered human nature. That’s why a genuine desire to serve others sacrificially is such compelling evidence that you are walking closely with Jesus and being transformed from the inside out by the power of the Holy Spirit. It demonstrates that I am alive and active in your life, molding you into the image of My Son.
So if you find yourself being less preoccupied with your own comfort and advancement and increasingly pouring yourself out to meet the practical, emotional, and spiritual needs of others, rejoice! It’s a clear sign that you are on the right path, being changed by My love and grace to become more like the humble, compassionate servant-Savior. Keep abiding in Me, relying on the Spirit’s power, and joyfully serving wherever I lead. As you walk in Christ’s footsteps, your life will beautifully reflect His heart to a watching world.
Sign Ten: Supernatural Strength
When you are walking on the path that I have set before you, one of the most profound and reassuring signs is experiencing supernatural strength in moments of weakness. This is a powerful testament to My grace and My desire to sustain you through the challenges you face.
The Apostle Paul, who endured countless trials and hardships in his mission to spread the gospel, learned to embrace his weaknesses. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, he writes, “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Paul understood that in his moments of frailty, My strength was most evident, enabling him to overcome obstacles he could never surmount on his own.
When you are on My path, you will undoubtedly face challenges that seem insurmountable. You may feel inadequate, ill-equipped, or simply exhausted by the trials before you. However, it is in these very moments that My grace shines through most brilliantly. As you lean into My strength, you will find yourself empowered to press on even when your own resources have been depleted.
This principle is beautifully illustrated in Isaiah 40:29-31, which reads, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” When you place your hope and trust in Me, I will renew your strength, enabling you to soar above your circumstances and persevere through even the most daunting challenges.
Experiencing My strength in your weakness is a profound sign that you are depending on Me and walking in My will. It is a reminder that you are not alone and that My grace is sufficient for every trial you face. As you continue to seek My guidance and rely on My strength, you will find yourself empowered to fulfill the purpose I have set before you, even in the face of adversity. In moments when you feel weak, overwhelmed, or inadequate, remember that My power is made perfect in your weakness. Embrace the challenges before you as opportunities to witness My grace and strength at work in your life.
As you do, you will find yourself growing in faith, resilience, and intimacy with me, confident that you are walking on the path I have lovingly prepared for you.
