(Podcast 4.7.18) 8 Ways God Speaks to Us and the Cautions Against Misusing His Voice

God Speaks

Does God communicate with us today? Granted, we have to be careful with claiming to have heard a word from the Lord as we often interject our own beliefs as being from God. Such is a dangerous mindset and can lead to great problems. However, we must also caution against a notion that God no longer speaks to us as the Scripture many times over indicates the relational aspect of God’s presence in believers’ lives. For such a conversation, we must take a balanced approach. Today, we discuss eight ways that God communicates with us today while cautioning that we must not monopolize his voice, thinking that he is speaking when we simply want something to happen.

  1. By Scripture (2 Tim. 3:16).
  2. By the Spirit (Jn. 14:17, 26; 1 Cor. 3:16).

Strong impressions and examples of these spiritual impressions.

  1. By Jesus (Jn. 10:27).

Sheep hear his voice.

  1. By creation (Rom. 1:20).
  2. By other believers (Philip and Ethiopian eunuch, Ac. 8:26-40).
  3. By circumstances (Rev. 3:8).
  4. By dreams and visions (Jo. 2:28-29).
  5. By his voice (Mt. 3:17; Jn. 12:28).
