How Does God Talk to me Today?

The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.     Hebrews 4:12

God works full-time in the communication business, and He communicates with us in a variety of ways.  The physical world tells us about Him as Creator; the Bible tells us about Him as Redeemer.

Over the centuries, God has even spoken to people directly, often because of their blindness and the way Satan confuses things.  He has explained things in person, through dreams, and even through angels.  But because ordinary people could make mistakes as they passed the message of God along, God set His record straight long ago by putting it into permanent written form.

As He intended, God still uses His powerful Word to communicate to us today.  And we must use this Word to understand His will for us.  This sharp, two edged sword touches us with the influence of the Holy Spirit and brings our minds to the mind of God.

God also clarifies His will for us today in other ways.  He shows us, for example, what kind of wife or husband we should marry.  He also shows us our past experiences, revealing what His will has been for us and that He protects us from any confusion we would have without Him.  What’s more, as our knowledge of His will grows, He show us that He never contradicts Himself.
