Throughout human history, God has been speaking to mankind in various ways. His prophets and apostles were moved by the Holy Spirit to proclaim and write His words, but His ultimate expression came through the birth of His Son Jesus Christ. Today, most believers acknowledge that God speaks primarily through Scripture, yet the voice that dictated the Bible has not ceased.

Through His Holy Spirit, the Lord still communicates to every Christian who listens with an open and receptive heart.
Consider the wonder of having a God who speaks—not a distant deity who thunders orders and admonishments from heaven, but one who actually wants to have a conversation with you! Why?

Consider the following:

1. God loves you and desires a relationship with you.

2. He wants you to know Him personally through an intimate communication.

3. He longs to encourage you to trust Him. As you experience the fulfilment of His words, your faith grows strong.

4. He wants to guide you. The Lord has a good purpose for your life and is willing to direct your decisions and ways so you can experience all He has planned for you.

In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, it’s easy to take for granted this invaluable privilege of communication with God. Take time this week away from the distractions to listen to the God who wants to talk with you.

Job 33:14
“For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.”

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

Hebrews 4:12
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

John 10:27-28
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”

IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS
