Some people think God doesn’t speak. It’s very common for schools and media to claim only natural explanations are valid, and that makes this problem worse. Some even think God doesn’t exist. Then there are those who think God used to speak, but He doesn’t do that anymore. They think God left the Bible behind so we can read the Bible and figure things out from there. And yet, God does speak. He speaks to every person, but some refuse to thank Him or glorify Him. The fact is that we don’t have the capacity to figure the Bible out. That’s why good sincere people argue about what the Bible says. But look at what the Bible does say about God speaking.

“Whoever is on the side of truth listens to Me” (John 18:37)

“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father” (Matthew 4:4)

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

”Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God” (John 8:47)

“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:9-12)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Ask God to answer these questions.

1. Why do skeptics and atheists claim God doesn’t speak or doesn’t exist?
2. Why do people interpret the Bible differently if God speaks through it?
3. Why do you need divine guidance to truly understand the Bible?
4. What does it mean for you to be on the side of truth?
5. What does it mean for you to live by every word that comes from God?

Bonus questions:

1. How do you hear God’s voice?
2. Why do some people not hear God’s words?
3. How can you trust God with all your heart?

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

1. Pray for the Lord to protect you and keep you in His presence and His presence only.
2. Direct your mind toward the Lord only.
3. Ask God what He want’s to talk about.
4. You can ask God any questions. In all of this, be led by the Holy Spirit. God promises that He will answer you if you ask Him.
5. Do not edit or change what God says even if you don’t understand it.
6. Reject the lies and receive the truth.
7. Take notes.
8. Transfer your notes to your journal without editing what God said to you.

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.
