5 Signs That the Holy Spirit Is Working in Your Life 🤔🤯… See More
A Soul-Nourishing Recipe for Spiritual Growth, Discernment, and Daily Grace
Spiritual change rarely arrives with thunder.
It doesn’t always announce itself through visions, miracles, or dramatic moments. More often, it shows up quietly — in your reactions, your patience, your hunger for something deeper than noise.
Many people ask the same question in different ways:
“Is God working in me?”
“Am I changing, or just imagining it?”
“How do I recognize the Holy Spirit at work?”
Scripture offers guidance, but everyday life offers signs — subtle, human, lived-in signs.
So this is not a sermon.
Not a checklist.
Not a claim that one person’s faith is stronger than another’s.
This is a symbolic recipe, using food as metaphor — because spiritual growth, like cooking, is slow, unseen, and revealed over time.

🕯️ BEFORE COOKING: A MOMENT OF STILLNESS
Before touching ingredients, pause.
Take one deep breath.
Not to perform holiness.
Just to become aware.
The Holy Spirit often works not in urgency — but in attention.

✨ THE DEEPER TRUTH
If you see even one of these signs in your life — awareness, conviction with grace, changing desires, compassion, quiet peace — it doesn’t mean you’ve “arrived.”
It means something is working.
Slowly.
Patiently.
Faithfully.
Just like a good meal.

🙏 FINAL WORD
The Holy Spirit doesn’t always announce Himself.
Sometimes He looks like:
-
a pause before reacting
-
a softer word
-
a stronger boundary
-
a deeper prayer
-
a quieter confidence
And often, His work is most visible not in what you do — but in who you are becoming.
If you’d like, I can:
-
Rewrite this as a short viral faith post
-
Adapt it into a devotional
-
Make it more scripture-focused or more reflective
-
Turn it into a daily series (one sign per day)
Just tell me 🙏✨
