Are the murmurs audible, the visions tangible, and the words vibrant as they spring from the pages of scripture? Can we attribute these occurrences to the voice of God? Or are they figments of our imagination, products of our minds? Do those who claim to receive divine communication display unusual attitudes, or does God truly communicate with us? Based on my personal experiences, I can affirm that God continues to communicate with us. He stirs within us and speaks to the depths of our hearts. Here are five ways to know:
In His Word, You’ll Find Solace
The sacred texts of the Bible unveil the long-awaited answers we seek. They infuse us with strength, rejuvenate our souls, and provide unwavering guidance for our pilgrimage with God. When the Divine speaks to us through scripture, His purpose is to teach us righteousness and to encourage the growth of our faith, obedience, and love for Him.
Your Situations Can Show God Is Talking
These circumstances may present themselves as valuable lessons or tests of our faith. At times, our journey becomes challenging because we have overlooked the responses and warnings graciously given by God. Such moments are designed to awaken our senses, beckoning us to be attentive and receptive.
However, as we navigate through these trials and emerge triumphant, a sense of joy fills our hearts. We begin to comprehend that God has been our steadfast guide, fortifying our connection with Him. Our relationship with the Divine blossoms, enriched by the assurance that He has faithfully led us onward.
God Speaks Through Others
Through the voices of others, God possesses the remarkable capacity to connect with us, leaving a profound impact on our hearts. His messages can be transmitted through gentle words, personal testimonies, timely cautions, or heartfelt blessings. As we acknowledge that we are all devoted servants of God, actively listening to the experiences and wisdom of those around us can profoundly shape our own lives, offering us invaluable perspectives.
Listen, A Tiny Voice Speaks To You
God’s voice is not always thunderous, but sometimes a gentle whisper within our hearts. We shouldn’t doubt it, but listen and discern if it aligns with God’s Word. Trusting this inner voice leads to profound truths and righteousness. “After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’” – 1 Kings 19:12-13
He Does Answers Prayers
Prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. It involves speaking, listening, and seeking understanding. God hears every prayer and responds uniquely, with answers that are certain and nuanced. Being fully present and attentive allows us to truly hear His response.
