God Speaks to us in different ways.

 
God doesn’t communicate anymore that’s what Skeptics say. Even some Christians declare God solely speaks thru the Bible.

 
Really? Did God get laryngitis and lose His voice? Did God change? Did God end being God? 

 
Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) affirms, “For I am the Lord, I do not change.” That means if God saved in Bible times, He still saves today. If He healed then, He nevertheless heals now. If He spoke to people in the past, He still does. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8).
The question is not, is God still speaking? The query is, are we listening? Jesus implored all seven churches of Asia, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Rev. 2:7). Consider 12 approaches God nevertheless speaks today:

 
• Audible Voice: Though reputedly rare, God has and nevertheless can talk audibly. Adam and Eve heard God’s voice in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:8). God spoke audibly to Moses from the burning bush (Ex. 3:4-6) and to all Israel from Mount Sinai (Ex. 20:1-22). In the New Testament, the Father endorsed Jesus at His baptism and His transfiguration with a literal voice. Saul and his posse noticed Christ in a blinding mild and heard His voice (Ac. 9:3-7). God is sovereign, and He can speak however and on every occasion He wants.

 
• Visions and Dreams: “I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh . . . your younger guys shall see visions; your ancient guys shall dream dreams” (Ac. 2:17). A vision is a stimulated appearance (something you see actually with your eyes or in your thinking or spirit). A dream is something considered in your sleep or something you think about doing—a intention or an aspiration. God can insert pix and thoughts into our minds whether or not we are mindful or not.

 
• Angelic Visitation: Angels are sellers on assignment—God’s messengers sent to minister to heirs of salvation. There are several situations in Scripture the place angels informed, warned or conveyed divine messages to individuals. They are nevertheless on the job.

 
• Signs: Is it incorrect to ask God for a sign? It relies upon on our motive. People who requested Jesus for a miracle simply for exhibit or to show His divinity had been denied, however these who requested God for a signal to confirm or verify His will have been regularly rewarded. Gideon put a fleece out genuinely searching for affirmation of God’s will and used to be obliged (Jdgs 6:36-40). We serve a supernatural God of signs and symptoms and wonders.

 
• Coincidences: Albert Einstein noted, “Coincidence is God’s way of last anonymous.” When I used to be praying about printing my first book, the estimated price used to be $3,000 in the late 1980’s. I used to be in a assembly when a lady I had in no way met earlier than nor considered seeing that gave me an envelope and said, “God instructed me to provide this to you.” It contained a diamond ring which appraised for . . . you guessed it, $3,000. You can name that a coincidence; I name it providence—God confirming and presenting for His will.

 
• The Written Word: The emblems (the Bible) is a most important way God speaks nowadays however it is now not the solely way. The emblems is God’s time-honored Word for everyone. God speaks to us when we examine the Bible on almost each difficulty that applies to present day living. Jesus, the Bread of Life, taught us to pray, “Give us this day our each day bread” (Mt. 6:11). God has clean spiritual manna to share with us every day if we’ll take the time to study His Word.

 
• The Living Word: Jesus said, “The phrases [Greek: rhema] that I talk to you are spirit, and they are life” (Jn. 6:63). The rhema Word is a particular message the Holy Spirit inspires to you personally. It’s a specific phrase for a specific time and for a precise need. It takes place when the written or spoken Word comes alive with special meaning in your situation.

 
• Through People: “If every person speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God” (1 Pt. 4:11). An “oracle” is an “utterance, a spokesman or mouthpiece.” God speaks thru preachers and teachers; however He can additionally talk via our spouse, kids, pals and even enemies. God uses human channels to speak words of prophecy, tongues and interpretation and phrases of knowledge and information (1 Cor. 12:8-10). God also expresses Himself via human vessels to distribute His message in anointed sermons, songs and writings.

 
• Mass Media: “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations” (Mt. 24:14). Due to technology, this Scripture is actually being fulfilled as the Gospel proliferates the globe. While Satan manipulates the media to unfold his vile message like a virus, God additionally makes use of the media to disseminate His fact by way of satellite tv for pc TV, radio, internet, websites, social media, books, podcasts, films and music.

 
• Through Creation and Nature: Psalms 19:1 proclaims, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament suggests His handiwork.” The vastness of house and the complexity of nature testify to God’s wise design. You can hear the Creator’s voice in a effervescent brook, in the track of a bird, in the wind whistling thru the timber and in a baby’s cry.

 
• Through Our Conscience: God hardwired us with an internal focus of what is proper and incorrect with an inclination to do right. George Washington said, “Labor to maintain alive inside your breast that little spark of celestial fire, referred to as conscience.”

 
• His Still Small Voice: Elijah was once tenting in a cave on Mount Sinai when God manifested Himself. Elijah noticed a effective wind, a mighty earthquake and a fierce fire, however God wasn’t in any of them. Instead, God spoke to him in a “still small voice,” additionally translated “a mild whisper” (1 Kgs. 19:9-12). God often speaks to us by the inner witness of the Holy Spirit to our spirit (Rom. 8:14-16).
God will talk to us extra frequently as we examine to apprehend His voice. We count on to hear from Him at church, however God doesn’t simply talk on Sundays. He desires to communicate to us all via the week. Jesus indicated, “My sheep hear My voice” (Jn. 10:27). God is nonetheless speaking; are we listening?
