Does God Still Speak Today? (Part 2)

In my first post on this topic I shared with you six different ways that God uses to speak to people today.  Because of the interest on this subject and the many questions I have received, I am going to continue to elaborate on some of the ways God speaks to us.  As Christians our relationship with God has a lot to do with how well we hear Him.  Unfortunately, many Christians often want some "out of this world" spiritual experience when it comes to hearing from God when all the time God is speaking to them through His Word every time they open and read it.  So in this post I want to expand further on how God speaks to us through His Word.

Those who absent themselves from the Word of God and are always seeking for a "voice" will miss many of the encounters with God that He has prepared for them.  If a "voice" excites you more than the Word of God, then something is wrong. The greatest revelation we can get is from the Word of God.  Every time we read God's Word it is Him speaking to us.  If you can grasp that then God will open up many new and exciting ways to personally speak to you.

If you would like for God to speak to you everyday, then you must read the Word of God everyday.  Through His Word He tells us what is right and what is wrong.  It is through His Word He tells us how we are to live, act, talk, believe, love and the list goes on.  Whatever it might be that you need, if it has been promised to you in His Word, then the Word will tell you everything you need to know.

God's Word is God telling you what you need to know and what you need to do.  You don't have to ask God what sin is or isn't, because it is identified in His Word.  God's Word is full of God's promises, principles and truths that are to lead and guide our lives every day. (Read 2 Timothy 2:15).

Yes, God is still speaking to His people today and it is primarily through His Word.  Are you reading and listening to God's Word, because that's where it begins?
