Sometimes we get a slight impression of something or a gut feeling. Some people call it intuition.
Intuition is knowing something spontaneously, without reasoning it out or discovering it.
Perception is understanding something by the senses or the mind, it involves intuitive awareness.
An impression is similar - we tend to use it to mean a nudge of the Holy Spirit.
We all have intuitive feelings at some level - it's like a gut feeling or just knowing something.
The New Testament speaks of the disciples as perceiving things, God gives us that ability too.
Whatever you call it, it is, in effect, knowing something without using your natural senses.
If we give Him the opportunity, the Holy Spirit will magnify these inner nudges. With the Holy Spirit's help we can develop our spiritual senses so that we can be aware of danger, of hidden things, even the thoughts and intentions of other people's hearts.
The more we take notice of these impressions, act on them and trust the Holy Spirit's nudges, the more sensitive we will become to God's promptings.
Our Father is speaking to us through subtle impressions. It's time to take notice of them, step out in faith and act on them.
We get better at something by practising. When you start out you will sometimes get it wrong. If you persist and learn from your mistakes you will eventually get it right more of the time.
Keep stepping out in faith and your level of spiritual awareness will increase.
