Just a quick post on God speaking to us. I hear a lot of Christians I know saying God spoke to them. How does he speak to us? Feel like I'm missing out on something but not long saved so I know I will mature in time

He speaks in many ways but He has but one voice. Meaning, God does not contradict Himself. He can speak to people through His word (the bible), through dreams, visions, or even audibly. The Lord can guide us on a day to day basis, this is why we listen for His leading, or inquire about it. You can have active and live fellowship with the Holy Spirit. You can communicate with Him, on a personal level as a friend.

The word of God says that His sheep know His voice, so if you haven't yet experienced His voice in that of guidance or direction, know in time you will. The key is surrender, being willing to walk the path He has set for you. People will tell you God only speaks to us through the bible today but that is a doctrine that ignores the Holy Spirit, of whom you are His temple (so He resides inside of you).

So there are many ways God speaks to us, and you too can experience that in your walk. Just ask the Lord to speak to you in clear ways, and that you would have ears to hear. That He would develop in you a sensitivity to His Spirit. Tell Him that you'd like to know His voice, as clear as day.

Thank you Ben. I will pray for that. I have definitely felt the Holy Spirit.. I had hands laid on me in church one evening and trembled loads. Also get goose bumps during worship lots of times..

He speaks to all of His children in so very many ways that it would be impossible to compile a list. When praying to God, we also must LISTEN to God. Prayer is a two-way thing, not just us unloading on Him and then "Amen," and going on our way. We must take at least as much time listening as we do praying.

How to listen? Quietly, with a sincere and contrite heart. Many times, that still, soft voice that speaks to us/warns us when we are about to do or say something, is the Holy Spirit giving us a "Hey, wait a sec, let us thing about this before you speak/act." Some people call it our conscious, whatever......but God oft times speaks to us (via the Holy Spirit) to lead, guide, warn, inform us, and direct our paths.

This is just ONE WAY..........there are so very many other ways............but, you can ponder this one.

As I look into some of the forums started by people who have very valid claims and remain so humble in doing so but still be banned from this site because of so many people seeing things a different way gives me a negative feeling about being heard or believed but that still will not hold me back from telling anyone my thoughts and all of the things that are revealed to me in my study, without a doubt of this most likely being my last post I'll be able to make as I seen this topic it pushed me to tell you about when I was 10, I was at my grandmothers house sitting in a recliner playing Nintendo, my grandmother was sitting at the table as usual in the kitchen, I don't remember wether it was night or day but I think it was still day time, either way as I was reclined in the chair playing video games I disappeared spiritually and was placed somewhere else, it was kind of dark and I was standing in front of someone or something that was sitting on a throne, there was also someone else in the room, I remember being a lot smarter before I got pulled there and I don't recall everything that was said, it was the scariest thing in the world, I thought it was all over like I died and went to hell, I tried my best to express how afraid I was and even tried faking a heart attack but he knew and expressed that the only way I could die would be if I was in my body, my memory of the image is almost gone but I do remember it was large being and not all human, I don't remember what his purpose was for me being there or what we talked about, I have had much more pleasant conversations with God since then although I don't ever recall a time hearing Gods voice but I do see his guidance, anyways have fun laughing at this. God Bless!

It is my Christian duty to bring truth out in the open and save our people, as many as I can, if you really do worship the one true God our creator you will join in on spreading the truth and exposing the lies to all that you come in contact with and help save our people from being mislead into darkness, MASONRY PROVEN CONCLUSIVELY TO BE WORSHIP OF LUCIFER, SATAN! Part 1 of 2 just be careful because it is a dangerous topic but have faith in The Lord our God and he will shield you and bless you of your good deeds.
