How to Know When God Is Trying to Warn You

Have you ever had a moment where something just felt off—a pit in your stomach, a pause in your spirit, or a quiet warning in your heart? That may be more than intuition—it could be the voice of God trying to get your attention. In this message from Pastor Darryl Nelson, we explore a powerful moment from the life of David in 1 Samuel 24. What does it look like to listen to God in moments of tension? How do you know when He’s prompting you to pause instead of push forward? Discover why “paying attention to the tension” could be the very thing that keeps you aligned with God’s purpose and away from unnecessary pain. You’ll also learn how your relationship with God determines your ability to recognize His leading—and how even a moment of hesitation can be sacred.
