6 Physical Signs in Your Body God Is Speaking to You About Someone

Your body is a big part of who God made you. And yet, so often as Christians, we separate the spiritual from the physical. According to Scripture, however, the way our bodies feel can be used to also help us know God’s will.

This is true when it comes to relationships as well. Therefore, here are 6 physical signs God is speaking to you about someone.

1. Physical Symptoms of Being Nervous Can Be a Sign God Is Speaking to You About Someone

So you get nervous around someone. Big deal. Who cares?

Well, at closer inspection, these symptoms of nervousness can tell you a lot. You’re not nervous for no reason! Dissect why you feel this way around a certain person and its highly likely God will give you some really helpful information about yourself in relation to this person. For example:

• Perhaps you are getting little knots in your stomach when this person walks into the room because you like them. Maybe you were denying this to yourself for a longtime. By paying more attention to how your body feels around this person, you might be able to finally accept your feelings about this person.
• Perhaps you know you like this person. However, maybe you feel nervous because you are idolizing him or her. Whatever you give the power to make you feel valuable, you also give the power to make you feel worthless. If you’re looking to this person to find your value, you will always feel unhealthy pressure around this person.

In Philippians 4:6, Paul tells us that the sensation of anxiety is a call to pray more. Likewise, if you have symptoms in your body that relate to nervousness when you’re around this person, God is probably trying to tell you something.

2. Extreme Weight Loss, Weight Gain, or Other Types of Changes in Your Body Can Be a Sign God Is Speaking to You About Someone

Proverbs 13:20 teaches us, “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.” This verse doesn’t explicitly state what kind of harm will come upon you if you spend time with unhealthy people; but I don’t think it’s a stretch to conclude that your body can also be negatively affected by your relationships. For example:

• If you are spending your time around people who love to party and get drunk, this will not only tempt your heart into sin, but it will also tempt your body into unhealthy choices. Large amounts of alcohol consumption could lead to weight gain, liver and heart failure, and digestive issues.
• If you are sleeping around, you could easily pickup an STD.
• If you spend time with people who like fitness, you will probably be more active in healthy ways.
• If you get into a healthy Christian relationship that is committed to sexual purity before marriage, you will avoid many negative physical consequences.

The point is, you can look at how your body has been affected by the presence of someone in your life. Are you healthier or unhealthier since you’ve started spending more time with this person?

If you’re willing to be honest with yourself when you look in the mirror, God will speak to you about the health or problems with your relationships. As 1 Corinthians 6:20 states, “So glorify God in your body.”

3. If You Have More or Less Energy After Spending Time with Someone, God Is Saying Something to You

When you’re with the right person, it puts a pep in your step. They encourage you, they motivate you, and they support you. All of this makes you feel good, which then translates to energy surging through your body in visible ways. People can literally see in your face when you are thriving in a healthy relationship.

Likewise, when a relationship is abusive, it sucks the energy out of you. You will be depressed and unmotivated to make healthy choices. People will look at your external indicators and subconsciously sense you are struggling with something internally.

As Proverbs 14:30 (NIV), “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” If your energy levels have changed in a good or bad way because of someone, God is saying something to you.

4. The Physical Symptoms of Stress Caused By Someone in Your Life Are a Sign God Is Trying to Say Something to You

God made us to feel hungry so we eat. He made us to feel pain so we can protect our bodies. He made us to feel tired so we know it’s time to get some sleep.

Likewise, when you feel stress, God has designed your body to feel that way so you can become aware that something is wrong.

Internal, emotional stress often gets expressed through physical signs like muscle tightness, nausea, or paralysis. Stress is a sign God is saying something to you. For example, in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus said to come to him when you feel a heavy burden.

5. Sleeplessness Can Be a Sign God Is Speaking to You About Someone

Are you feeling guilty for not letting someone love you? Are you running away in fear from a relationship the Lord wants to bless you with? If so, God may be hindering your sleep so you he can speak to you.

Or are you spending time with someone you know God is telling you to avoid? Are you trying to justify this disobedience because you haven’t sinned yet with this person, but you know you probably will if you keep playing with fire? In love, God may be keeping you up at night as a way of trying to get your attention.

Psalm 127:1-2 states, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

6. If You Are Sexually Attracted to Someone, God Could Be Saying Something About This Person to You

In places like 1 Corinthians 7:9 and 1 Corinthians 7:36, a strong sexual desire is a sign you should marry that person. In places like 1 Corinthians 6:18, a strong sexual pull is a sign you should avoid someone because they are tempting you into sin.

Sexual attraction isn’t always a sign God is saying something. Sometimes our bodies are just aware of someone and there are some sexual feelings. We can just ignore them, move on, and not fall into sexual temptation.

However, at other times, your sexual attraction will be increasing because your emotional attraction is also increasing. God could be saying something to about someone if your body is beginning to feel more and more physically attracted the more you get to know this person.
