In recent decades, psychologists have come to realize religion and spirituality are important dimensions of individual and family narratives and have begun to include these dimensions in mental health assessment and treatment. Studies have indicated the majority of individuals report having mystical, supernatural experiences with God or another divine influence at least once in their lifetime and that these experiences are significant for them. These mystical experiences go beyond personal prayer and worship and are characterized by individuals' assertions that God has communicated a personal message to them. This study examined how the phenomenon of communication with God, specifically how God communicates directly to a person, manifests itself. The population selected for this study is African-American parishioners of a Baptist congregation in Nashville, TN. African-American congregants place a high value on their personal relationship with God and often speak openly about God's leading and guidance in their daily lives. Participants for this study self-selected based on specific criteria that established their belief that in their relationship to God, they have experienced God's direct communication to them. Participants were interviewed individually to understand the nature and characteristics of that communication and its impact within their lives as a faith-based minority population. It is anticipated that this study might help the psychological community gain insights from the lived experience of these participants related to ways African-Americans enhance their lives from within their personal relationship with God.
