Introduction
Gemma Lonsdale returns after a couple of weeks, during which she experienced a family bereavement and paused her cancer treatment. Despite feeling knocked off balance by recent events, she expresses her pleasure to be back and wants to discuss how God speaks to people today. She clarifies that while she uses the term "God," others may prefer terms like "spirit world" or "universe," emphasizing inclusivity and respect for diverse beliefs.
God's Communication Beyond the Bible
Gemma addresses the common notion of listening to God through traditional means like reading the Bible, asserting that God's word is alive and accessible to everyone. She acknowledges that it might seem easier for her to perceive visions and hear messages, but emphasizes that divine wisdom and knowledge are available to all who open their minds and trust themselves. Self-trust is presented as an integral part of trusting and leaning into higher wisdom.
Recognizing God's Guidance in Everyday Life
Gemma shares personal anecdotes of receiving guidance through unexpected sources, such as friends sending her similar reels on Instagram about food and cancer. She interprets these synchronicities as God's way of guiding her towards information that can help her manage her condition through diet. While she has received audible messages and visions about her cancer being taken away, she recognizes that God is also helping her to help herself by guiding her towards healthier choices.
Various Ways God Communicates
Gemma explains that God communicates in various ways, even if one doesn't experience spiritual visions or auditory messages. She mentions synchronicities, such as thinking of someone and then receiving a message from them, and the appearance of repeating numbers like 888 as potential signs. Additionally, she highlights the importance of trusting one's intuition, even when it contradicts logical decisions, using a past job offer as an example where choosing money over her heart's desire led to a valuable lesson.
Trusting Intuition and Learning from Past Decisions
Gemma stresses the importance of trusting one's intuition and learning from past decisions where logical paths were chosen over inner feelings. She encourages viewers to reflect on the outcomes of those decisions and consider what prevented them from trusting their intuition. Understanding what guides your choices is a crucial step toward believing in yourself and trusting the voice of God. Trusting inner wisdom expands one's ability to receive more knowledge and wisdom in various ways.
The Grenfell Tower Tragedy: An Example of Ignoring Inner Wisdom
Gemma discusses a Netflix documentary about the Grenfell Tower fire, where 72 people died, as an example of the consequences of ignoring internal wisdom in favor of external authority. She explains that many residents who were told to stay put by authorities ultimately perished, while those who trusted their instincts and evacuated survived. This illustrates the danger of relying solely on man-made systems and the importance of trusting one's inner knowledge.
Relying on Inner Wisdom vs. External Systems
Gemma continues to emphasize the importance of trusting inner wisdom over external systems, citing examples such as the COVID-19 vaccinations. She notes that while many followed government advice, others felt it was not right for them, highlighting the need to discern what resonates with one's own knowledge and wisdom. She advises against blindly following anyone, including herself, and encourages everyone to tap into their own knowledge and accept what they are being given, recognizing that not all information is accurate or meant for them.
Individual Journeys and Evolving Perspectives
Gemma uses the analogy of levels in a video game to explain that people resonate with different messages and individuals at different stages of their journey. She emphasizes that everyone is on their own path and that perspectives evolve over time. This understanding allows for greater grace and acceptance of criticism or rebukes, as everyone's beliefs and experiences are unique to their current stage.
Closing Remarks and Personal Update
Gemma concludes by expressing uncertainty about when she will create more content, stating she will go with the flow. She mentions her book, "Wisdom Proverbs for Today," and announces a pause in content for her inner circle members due to recent personal challenges and the effects of her cancer medication. She encourages inner circle members to contact her for a reimbursement of this month's membership fee and shares her social media handles for those who wish to connect further.
