SOME WAYS THROUGH WHICH GOD SPEAKS TO US

1. THE BIBLE:

The Bible which is the inspired, inerrant and the infallible Word of God - Josh 1:8 (KJV), Deut 31:26 (KJV), Josh 23:6-8 (KJV), Isa 8:19-20 (KJV), Isa 8:19-22 (NLT)

The Word of God is the judge of all other means.

i. Psalm 119:105:- to explain situation from God’s perspective
Ps 119:105 Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me and keep me from stumbling. TLB

ii. Psalm 119:130:- to open your eyes to see beyond your nose
Ps 119:130 - The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. KJV

2. THE INNER WITNESS

i.e. your regenerated spirit: The Holy Spirit communicates to man’s regenerated heart/spirit

i. The Holy Spirit through our regenerated spirit
Rom 8:16 - And the Spirit himself joins with our spirits to say we are God's children. NCV

ii. Our Hearts
Gal 4:6 - Since you are God's children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, and the Spirit cries out, "Father." NCV

iii. A Spirit In Man
Job 32:8 - But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. KJV

iv. The Spirit Which Is Of God

1 Cor 2:12 - Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. KJV

1 Cor 2:12 - And God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world's spirit) to tell us about the wonderful free gifts of grace and blessing that God has given us. TLB

3. DREAMS

This is a sequence of images that appear involuntarily to the mind of a sleeping person, sometimes with a mixture of real and imaginary characters, persons and events. Job 33:14-17(TLB), Gen 20:3 (KJV), Gen 37:5 (KJV), Matt 1:20 (KJV), Acts 2:17 (KJV)

Conclusion:
God's will is to speak directly to us not with an intermidiary. Therefore, let us create a conducive environment for Him to speak to us
