What is God saying to you now?
There
is nothing wrong with seeking wise counsel and teaching but this must
not be a substitute for growing up in faith yourself. A Christian who is
spiritually healthy is able to receive direct personal communication
from God Himself.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; Jn 10:27 NASB95
Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
But
He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Mt 4:3–4 NKJV
Here
Jesus shows His faith in the Written Word of God but also in the spoken
word of God. God speaks today and He speaks every day.
The
Spirit of God brings the written word of God alive, so you know when God
is speaking to you personally through a particular Bible text. But the
Holy Spirit also speaks to your spirit in many different ways and He
does it much more than most of us realise.
Behold,
I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Rev 3:20 NKJV
In the New Testament, every believer is invited to hear the voice of God and to share with others what he hears.
‘And
it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out
of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. Acts 2:17–18 NKJV
Of
course God also speaks to his children privately. Many of the things
you hear from the Holy Spirit are for to keep to yourself.
