God directly speaks to everyone, particularly those who have His Holy Spirit dwelling in them, it is up to us to listen. God speaks to a situation you are in or something you are praying about by making a particular verse of the Bible stand out to you, by things that happen in your life, by something another Christian might tell you, or by simply putting thoughts directly into your mind when you listen in silence during your prayer time. He might not necessarily tell you what direction He feels a church should take the way He may tell a pastor, but He will help you understand Scriptures which you have questions about, give you guidance in your own life, help you get to know Him, and also point out some sin in your life which He wants to change. When you pray, take time to let Him answer by sitting in silence and seeking His will and trying not to think about what you want Him to say but be completely open to any thought He might put in your mind. | ||||||

Hello Jesus' Chickling, Welcome to the Forum. What about the Word? Does not God speak to us through his Word? It is, afterall, the Word of God, is it not? Heb 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (NASB) Don't all believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them? Eph 1:13 tells us (speaking to the believer) "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," (NASB) Remember, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ" (Rom. 10:13) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Thanks for welcoming me, BradK! Sorry for my unclarity. By "making a verse jump out at you" I meant when you are reading the Bible, God puts it on your heart that this verse is for you, right now. But "God speaking to us through His Word" is a better way of wording it for seasoned believers; I wasn't sure which walk of the spiritual life you were on. Yes, the Holy Spirit dwells in all believers, I said "everyone, particularly those with the HS" to distinguish that God does not normally speak to unbelievers. If He did, it would be called a miracle but for believers, listening to God should be a daily practice. Thanks for pointing that out to help me know how to put my thoughts into words more clearly next time! -Jesus' Chickling |
