How Do You Know What You’re Aligning With?

Are We Talking About the Same Thing?

Language is powerful. It shapes how we understand the world, how we connect with each other, and how we experience The Divine. But sometimes, language itself becomes a barrier, creating division where there doesn’t need to be any.

Some people describe their lived experiences in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration. Others speak of the Holy Spirit, Divine alignment, and God’s presence. But what if these words aren’t in competition?

What if they’re all pointing to the same thing?

The Concern: “But You Don’t Know What You’re Aligning With”

I get it. One of the biggest concerns people have about the language of energy and frequency is:

"How do you know what you’re actually aligning to?"

Discernment matters. Not everything that feels powerful is Divine. Not every spirit is the Holy Spirit. That’s true whether we’re talking about spiritual encounters, energetic experiences, or even emotional states.

But let’s flip the question for a moment.

What if…
- The presence of God IS energy?
- The movement of the Holy Spirit IS a shift in frequency?
- Being in Divine alignment IS resonance with God’s will?

If that feels uncomfortable, let’s go back to scripture for a second...

God Moves in Ways Beyond Words

Throughout scripture, God’s presence isn’t always named explicitly, but it’s still undeniably there.

• God moves like the wind... unseen, yet powerful. John 3:8 (NIV)

• The Holy Spirit is described as fire... burning away what no longer serves. Matthew 3:11 (NIV)

• God’s voice comes as a still small whisper... not always loud, but always present. Acts 2:3-4 (NIV)

In each of these examples, the experience of God’s presence is real, even when the words used to describe it vary.

So if we know God moves in ways beyond language, why do we get caught up in the words people use to describe that movement?

Recognizing Divine Presence in Your Own Life

The real question isn’t what it’s called. It’s how you recognize it when it happens.

So let’s reflect:
- Have you ever felt something shift before you had the words to describe it?
- Have you ever prayed and felt a peace settle over you, as if your internal state had been reset?
- How do you discern the difference between what’s Divine and what isn’t?

The truth is, your personal energy plays a role in how you experience divine connection, whether you realize it or not.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, out of sync, or like something is off but you can’t quite name it, your energetic pattern might have something to do with it.
