I have heard the Lord speak to me audibly on 2 occasions, in the last 30 years that I’ve been saved, concerning certain things that were happening in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever shared either encounter with anyone because it was for me. I definitely wasn’t expecting audible direction from the Lord but it got my attention for sure.
can God save every single person regardless of belief? can God save people who just try their best to be a good person? can God redeem all the demons and Satan?
@@jalapeno.tabascoFirst of all NO ONE IS GOOD! BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND ARE SINNERS AND HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! THIS IS WHY GOD SENT HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR THE FORGIVENESS AND REMISSION FOR ALL SINS FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE! Those who are SAVED are Those who WANT to be SAVED by GOD'S GRACE through their FAITH in JESUS CHRIST, NOT BY ONES WORKS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ONE CAN DO. JESUS CHRIST DID IT ALL FOR US! WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT TO RECEIVE IT! REPENT, BELIEVE, CONFESS, AND RECEIVE HIM!
@@truthmattersjesusiscoming6460dreams and visions ..the Bible says duhhh…so many ways God speaks. For you to shove the maker of the universe in your tiny little box is blasphemy
I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church. My Pastor preached multiple times that Christians cannot hear the voice of God anymore because we now have the bible. I have so much respect for my Pastor. He was a very good and humble servant of God. But I do believe that God is still willing to talk to us today. The question is are we willing to listen.
Then God really HAS NOT SPOKEN - Hebrews 1: 1-2 - Think about it. Think about this also: Scholars, Doctors of Divinity will tell you that God has over 200 Bibles, and ALL are the word of God. May I ask a question? - Which one? To get you thinking along the RIGHT path, think about this: How many Birth Certificates does any person have? Suppose I gave you 2 Birth Certificates with EVERY DETAIL agreeing except one. On one Certificate it has an Asterisk which says "One Birth Certificate has other information" - What are YOU going to do? Please receive this in the same spirit with which it is sent - Okay?
So what you are saying is the Creator of the universe is willing to speak to us, desires to speak to us just as He did with His prophets of days gone by... but because of some unwillingness on our part, He is not able? Do you have Scriptural support for this belief? Like a passage somewhere the shows God attempting to communicate with someone but His ability to do so was limited by the abilities of His creation? Or is there a reference somewhere that would suggest the prophets had this same need to be taught how to listen to their Creator? Is there one text that demonstrates they were unable to hear what He was attempting to communicate to them until they became willing to listen?
@@bradleymarvel If we are not willing to listen to God, Then why should he say anything at all? Prophets are special people who are willing and obedient, but they're not perfect. Jeremiah was in danger of losing his ability to hear God when he started complaining and continue to doubt. David can hear God's voice. But being in sin prevented him from hearing it. Jonah too was rebellious. Isaiah 59:1-2 says, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear". Psalm 66:18 says, "If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened". Samuel had to learn hearing God's voice when he was a young boy. Eli had to help him understand who's voice was calling him. Sometimes Christians can't hear God's voice because they just simply don't believe or is not aware of it.
Love your channel. You have to be careful about saying what God can and can’t do! I have heard God speak to me audibly once. It was not a prophecy but directly dealt with my situation. He speaks through his word and also on our thoughts. We need to know the word to determine who is speaking to us.
Agree 100%!!! I get VERY LEARY when folks try to put limits on God when He CLEARLY asked, at least TWICE rhetorically, "is anything too hard for The Lord?!" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Question: Can God CONTRADICT Himself? Yes or No? It is written: Heb 1:1-2 KJB 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Why is this subject so misunderstood? Let me make it plain! In the garden of Eden God did not speak with Eve. The Bible says that God fellowshipped with Adam in the cool of the day. When God gave the command regarding not eating of the tree in the center of the garden, he gave that to Adam! This is the reason it is said that Eve was deceived, (nothing happened when Eve ate off of the tree in deception, because she herself did not hear the command directly from God) but Adam was not deceived, to the contrary, Adam flat out disobeyed what God had directly spoken to him. Adam was the head of Eve, Adam was Eve's covering. God honors headship which is the reason why he spoke to Adam, and it was Adam's responsibility to teach Eve. We are dealing with the same thing today. Hebrews chapter 1 tells us that in time past God spoke at many times, and in variousunto the fathers by the prophets. but hath in these days speaks to us by his son (Jesus Christ) it is easy to understand that God (the Father) does not speak to us at all. We (the body of christ) have a savior and a head, whose named Christ Jesus. The scripture makes it clear that we are under the lordship of Jesus Christ and God the father has given us unto his son Jesus christ. It is Jesus that speaks to some of us in an audible voice just as he did with the apostle Paul while on the road to Damascus. Hebrews chapter 1 plainly says that God speaks to us through his son. Jesus knows the will of the father, Jesus is the head of the church, and it is Jesus that has the ability to speak to any member of the body by whatever means necessary, including in an audible voice.
And why wouldn't he? It is a personal relationship after all, it would pertain to us, I think, if he were to, it would be about us, him, or our situation. I would however doubt or question someone who said for us that they heard and god wants us to know or a new word or a revelation that is outside of scripture. But people want to take it away from those who have heard God directly, not looking for something, simply asking and receiving
If God is not speaking to His children today, it isn't because He is lacking in love towards us! Rather, He is ensuring we hold His written word with great esteem. If we were to constantly be expecting a "fresh word" from Him, we would soon be neglecting the word He's already given us.
@@metza_officialI agree with you. The Apostle Paul said th the scripture he wss compelled by the Spirit to got to Jerusalem. Acts 20:22-24. Acts 16:6 They were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. ?? How did the Holy Spirit convey this to them?? The Holy Spirit had to give Paul and them the message in a way that they knew it was him. So what was it a leading or an prompting in their spirit. Feel free to share On this. Shalom.
That was before the bible was completed and compiled. He spoke or used different ways to communicate and put it in the book. But once he got to the end. He said don't add to the bible, Rev22:18. So it became a test for people, the test is are we going to believe in just his word, or are we going to believe also tongues, dreams, visions, angel visitations, voices or whatever outside of just the bible.
Corey, the Lord spoke to me one morning while I was reading the Bible. I had just finished praying, got in bed and was reading my Bible like I constantly do after getting home from work every morning. I am an Intensive Care Unit nurse. I would read until I fall asleep. This particular morning while reading, I heard an audible voice in my room. He said, “Get back on your knees.” I jerked my head out of the Bible and looked around. I thought that I was hearing things and ignored it. I continued to read and about two minutes the same voice spoke again. “Get back on your knees.” This time with more of a command yet gentle. I obeyed! I laid my Bible on the bed beside me and got back on my knees and started praying to Jesus Christ again that morning. Something miraculous happened that morning which extended to a supernatural journey that was beyond my understanding. I had no expectation prior to this of hearing or seeing anything. So, not because you have not experienced it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. God can do anything He pleases. To anyone He pleases. He is God Almighty! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
God can do anything? Can God save men by their works if they just try their best? can God forgive everyone's sins and save everyone regardless of belief?
@@jalapeno.tabasco My friend, the Word of God says that we're not saved by our works but by grace, by the person Jesus Christ.. There's no other belief other than believing what Jesus did that we're saved from my friend... May God open your eyes and show you the right way 🙏🙏
How is one lead by the Holy Spirit if it is mute? Doesn’t God speak to us through His word in our spirit and guides in all truth as well as His plans for us. When I speak plans I mean marriage, career, living situation, where to live even… I wouldn’t be where I am today had I not waited to hear from the Lord. He called me to become a firefighter. So I began the path about 5 years ago. I became an EMT (which is required for a firefighter) and graduated school right at the beginning of pandemic. God used me during the pandemic heavily. I knew it was all according to His timing and not my own. Had I not listened to Him I would have been jobless going stir crazy at home, but no. I was blessed by being able to pray over many people and witness. Here I am now even, in a new state going to paramedic school because that’s what he’s leading me to do now. I’ve been blessed by His mighty strength the whole time. It hasn’t been all rainbow and butterflies. It’s been real tough but I know my God and He is the God who speaks. ”To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.“ John 10:3-5 KJV How is the voice heard?… ”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.“ Revelation 3:20 KJV It clearly says hear… ”And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I BESOUGHT THE LORD THRICE, that it might depart from me. And HE SAID unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.“ 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV Paul petitions/prays to the Lord 3 times and THE LORD RESPONDS audibly. So… you’re saying my testimony and many of others who were not witnessed to (via preacher or someone saved) but instead rather heard or had a miraculous encounter with the Lord is not true?…
@@edwardsabibi3203 I apologize. That was not my intention. A typo on my part as for the rest of my comment I refer to Him as “Lord”and “He”. I don’t treat the Holy Spirit as thing, but I see how by one typo one can misinterpret that. I understand it is God’s Spirit, as Jesus refers to Him in John 16:13.
Why is that whenever ppl reference God speaking to them, it is always something they gained like jobs, spouses, money, etc.? If God didn't give you any of that would you say he then doesn't speak?
@@jalapeno.tabasco are you bored and have nothing else you could be doing? Or do you genuinely want to know? I don't think you do, but if this is how you like to spend your time I guess, to each his own. I pray god draws you near to him and helps you to mature and be more loving to others. May you have an encounter with the living god, god bless you friend.
God speaks multiple ways. His Word, dreams/visions, prophecy/word of knowledge, personal impression, leading/guiding, other people, etc etc. God has spoken to me in all of these ways.
@@kingpriest3thosThe HOLY BIBLE is the WORD of GOD and JESUS CHRIST is THE WORD. YOU CAN ANSWER YOUR OWN QUESTIONS if you get the BIBLE (and BIBLE CONCORDANCE) and READ it and STUDY it for YOURSELF!

I don’t know about prophesying. But I have heard God speak directly to me concerning me. 1. Once when I was homeless living between homes of friends and family. I had a strong addiction to cigarettes that got to a terrible time of picking through butts not even mine. I got on my knees and begged God to take the taste away. I heard “Just stop” and I was by myself. I thought no way. But I obeyed and never tasted for cigarettes since 2016. Then it was another time I had been talking with God and asked him a question and I heard words that sounded like scripture and looked it up and it was indeed scripture that I had not heard before. It was in the context of my situation. It is rare but when it happens it is kinda scary and shocking. But the best one was when I was given the time my preemie would be coming home and the doctor thought I was crazy. Said yeah right ok. Three weeks later my daughter was home exactly what was said. So was that Satan or God? Nothing is ever by chance.
The devil is an angel of light. He can portray as a good person doing incredible things thinking it’s of Christ. That’s why I understand why Paul was blind. We are blind walking in darkness the only way to walk the straight path is to carry a candle light and the candle light is the KJV
@@azz2203that’s ridiculous. This man was led into MORE faith and belief in Jesus from these words spoken. Why would Satan come against his own kingdom and lead someone into more faith and closer relationship to God? Edit - my apologies. I do agree with you in general sense and I know that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. But you saying the KJV is the candle was what I was referring to as ridiculous.
We can make a long thread about this but it seems like people here give up or they’re in denial. KJV is from TR which are Greek Scriptures. It is the candle light because the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding. So if the Bible commands us not to lean on our own understanding where are you going to seek guidance? Corey? lol
I was reading His Word when He spoke to me audibly. Seem as though some people need to have a Damascus Road experience in order to believe that God Almighty can do anything!!
@@jamesgorham7125is God's word ever out of context? Just wondering 🤔 I heard someone say that he isn't the word but, no man is greater than his word, and he made the promise. Luke 24:44
God can speak through his word as well as directly, dreams and through someone. He will give you revelation of his word, some he tells them to speak or do something for someone, and sometimes reveals something that hasn’t yet come to pass
God absolutely speaks!!!! He speaks in many different ways, he can speak audibly, but he never has to me. He speaks today I believe mostly through His Word, he still speaks in visions and dreams, and what I call the Spiritual ear or inner ear, in that still small voice. As we mature as believers we recognize his voice more and more. Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lamb of God, Bless His Holy Name!!!
Yes he's the same God of yesterday, but what people don't see is that he has a program that changes throughout time. And I can tell you once the bible was finished, people were tested. The test was do you believe the bible only, or do you believe he is still giving messages outside the bible. Sadly many have and are failing the test. I just know that I don't want to here him say to me "I never knew".
The Lord spoke to me directly only once and through signs many times in the beginning of my salvation. He called me to be a “foregoer”. That was the word I heard after I cried out to Him asking Him /begging Him to speak to me to give me direction. He called me to be an evangelist. Foregoer is another word for forerunner or messenger. Noun. foregoer (plural foregoers) Alternative form of forgoer. (historical) A purveyor of the king, When I looked into the Greek to see where this was used I found the word “foregoer” was used and found the word presbeuo in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 and Ephesians 6:20. God is good and will speak to you if you are called and you seek Him with all your heart. Praise the Lord!!!
God speaks to us in so many different ways.... Through signs, conveying circumstances, by the holy spirit of God who lives inside of us, absolutely through HIS' word, and audible.....
Signs you can’t be serious right? Your in danger Matthew 16:4 KJV A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
God does not use signs show me in scriptures that God will use signs for believers during our timeline. You just can’t say it without backing up scriptures. If you’re going to say something please use scriptures because I understand scriptures of Christ rather than the language of men.
The closest to actually hearing from God directly is this: whenever I am in desperate need, I ask God for help. The thought that crosses my mind after that is this, "I am." He is helping us even in trials because He works all things together for our Good. Is he helping you?
I just screenshot this, this subject was something I was just praying about not just this , but this subject was in my prayer awhile ago. I agree with Corey's assessment, I believe what is spoken should align with God's Word. I have had experiences with the subject as well. Before I met my wife, I had a dream and the description matched her, I won't go into the whole matter, but before I awoke I heard "If you choose this, you will go through a lot of pain, but don't worry I'll be with you". I'm by the grace of God coming through this pain, I should have paid more attention. But God is with me❤️. Another experience not long ago while I was cleaning I heard my daughter was pregnant, I replied God forbid. My daughter wasn't. So it is "very important!". We make sure it's The Lord we're hearing from it could definitely change your life. Be safe and trust in The Lord and develop a relationship with Him by reading and studying His Word. And learn to follow His Holy Spirit leading. Be continually Blessed Siblings in Jesus Christ ❤. I screenshot this because after it finished it reads " An error occurred" 🤔???
I was born and raised Muslim and had never read the Bible before. I had people prophesy to me that Christ wanted me and I would become a preacher. I remember always arguing and debating them. July 15, 2015, I lay in bed with tears and called out to Christ Jesus. As clear as day, I heard a voice repeat these words to me, “new creature” time and time again (2 Cor 5:17). I didn’t even know what they meant. That night, I had a dream where a woman approached me, called me ‘Pastor’ and asked me to pray for her. Afterwards, I had subsequent visions including one of my Muslim father praying in a mosque asking me to return; something he later admitted to. While Charismatics take things too far, Cessationists do the same, but in the opposite direction by denying God’s power. Shalom!
Cessationists don’t deny God’s power. They don’t deny exceptional miracles. They deny that it is God’s will to give out spiritual gifts that serve as signs when the prophetic meaning of the signs was fulfilled long ago. For example, God might heal someone, but that’s not the same as giving a man the ability to go around healing people. And giving you a dream is not the same as giving you the ability to continue dreaming prophetically.
@@Nehemiah810 Thanks. I implied an important distinction but wasn’t clear. Cessationists also believe in non-sign spiritual gifts. Teaching, hospitality, discernment, administration, evangelism, giving, showing mercy (helping people, such as fixing a faucet or car, or making a meal for someone who’s injured) are spiritual gifts for all time. Here’s something I’ve never heard anyone point out: 1 Corinthians 12 has an interesting study on the division of labor within the Trinity and in the church. God assigns roles and the Spirit equips accordingly. The Son leads the campaigns. Sometime, make three columns labeled Father, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Then go through that chapter and list what each Person does, with the verses.
Why wouldn’t God speak to His children in which ever way He pleases? Isn’t He our Father who created and loves us? So, let me understand this. He can create the whole world and everything in it but it’s impossible for Him to speak audibly to us???🤔. Why do these intellectuals find this so hard to believe?
Anything is possible with God, and there is nothing that God can't do. God communicates with us in many ways, in ways that we couldn't even imagine. He's the Messiah!
@@slimdude2011He can not go off his own script. If he compiled the bible telling us of stories of dreams, visions, tongues, angels, or even using a donkey to speak. And put in in a book for us to read. It does not mean that we are to look for those to continue. Especially when he said were not to add to it by believing in other stuff Rev22:18.
I had a dream after I first got saved....and in the dream I was laying on my stomach in a desert place. I tried to stand up, but could not...no matter how hard I tried, I could not stand to my feet. I felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me, "Be humble". When I let go and submitted....grass began to grow, and trees began to sprout...the sky turned a beautiful blue and birds were chirping and flying and I was able to stand up and then I awoken from the dream. God is good. Jesus promised us the Comforter when he ascended....the word "Comforter" is akin to the greek word "Paraciete" which is "He who walks alongside to help". The Holy Spirit is the seal who guides us and impresses upon us to do His will, who walks alongside us to help.
God speaks audibly. It tells me a lot about these ministers who say God don't speak audibly. Maybe, the Lord don't speak to them audibly. Once you have had a walking and talking relationship with the Lord, you know his voice. If you hear more than one voice. You can ask the Lord to salience the voice that is not his. I first heard the Lord speak to me in an audible voice by in 1974. I was in a life and death situation. After He saved my life, we talked for the rest of the night. I would wake up each day for next weeks, in the morning and start the conversation with the Lord. Sometimes, the conversations was not about anything serious, I just love talking to him. He was not only my God but my best friend, I did not suppose to be alive. From that day to now, I can hear him. Even in my life when I started to drifted back in to the world, I could still hear him talking to me. He never gave up on me and he never stop talking to me. Sometimes, when I hear a minister who speaks so well and knowledgeable say something like, God don't talk audibly, to me, it exposes them as a fraud. Just say you don't know if he speaks audibly I will have more respect for that.
I also heard Gods audible voice before I ever believed. I was at a horrible point in life and was hysterically crying out to “whatever God” would hear me. I screamed in distress to know the truth. I need salvation. Little did I know, I’d wake up the next morning and my life would be changed. I went to bed that night and woke up to a voice saying AUDIBLY AND CLEARLY “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.” I heard this THREE TIMES and then it was followed by “This is the word of God.”. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THIS WAS SCRIPTURE. My entire life I thought it was “Jesus is the way, the truth and the LIGHT.” I was wrong and never knew because I wasn’t a Christian or a true believer yet. The next morning, I opened my Bible and found John 14:6 and was amazed. That was 4 years ago! I thank Jesus for loving me and saving me and for his grace!
Amen amen amen!!! Im so tired of people lying on God by saying “God told me” in a audible voice x y and z….🤦🏾♀️! Just stop it! Read and mediate on the word of God and he WILL SPEAK to you. Thank God for the holy spirit!!
Bro I just want to take the time to say thank you! Your videos are always very insightful and what I love best of all is that you always back it up with scripture you are now my favorite channel on CZcams and I thank you sir, for your integrity to the gospel and for your boldness to call out anything that goes against it. Many blessings and prayers for you brother. Continue doing what you’re doing. I always look forward to any new video drop. I listen to it while I’m at work delivering. Love you, man. Thank you and I appreciate you. Blessings from Cali!
Roman’s says creation speaks of Him in chapters 1-2. He speaks through His word. He leads us via the conscience He gave us. He gives us discernment to tell if things are of Him or not. He said we would have dreams and visions. I know He has spoken to people audibly in the Bible, but has not yet spoken to me audibly. I do not expect it nor do I say it could never happen. He is God and He does what should be done. I do not put expectations on Him nor do I limit Him. “Lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Where we have to be very careful is in telling others we know what Gods is saying to them.
I believe God speaks to us through scripture and through prayer. The issue is some people say God spoke to them and they exposit the scriptures properly
There are times where God puts something on my heart, and every bone in my body knows that it is a command. I will lose sleep thinking about it until God’s will is done. My conscience will not let me rest until it is done, and when I obey the command a weight is lifted off my shoulders. The command is always in line with scripture. That is clearly God speaking to me, it’s not audible, but the call is so strong that I know who it is from.
When the Lord speaks in guidance doesn’t mean it a canonical issues. I think about the word that Agabus shared confirming Paul’s journey to Roman which was previously communicated to Paul by the Holy Spirit. How does one receive wisdom from God when they request it? God speaks in whatever way He wants.
God has spoken to me a number of times in my Spirit apart from Holy Scriptures. Don't put God in a box. Because you have not had such an experience don't think that others have not.
Support that with scripture. Peter said that God has given us everything we need that pertains to life and godliness, so outside this word there's nothing else.
@CCD_106 amos 3 were speaking of the prophets of old. When Jesus came...the Word...He is the Prophet that was to come. There are no prophets (foretelling) today. God has given us everything we need in His word. As for Philippians...the context is that God is working in his people through the power of the Holy Spirit to "do" His will. There is no Word. Do God speaks to us? YES...either through his word, or it will be backed by his word. Hebrew 1:1-2...God in pastimes spoke to us through the prophets. Now he is speaking to us through His Son (the Word). The book of Hebrews talk about how there is no one greater than Jesus. So why would God go back and speak privately to someone to give us the word. Are they greater than Jesus?
@naeembourne2474 I 100% agree that God will never speak/communicate anything that contradicts His Word! However, I would not rule out that there has never been or will be a prophet since Jesus (I take it you're a cessationist) and I know for a fact prophesy is still being given (happened to me personally) and will continue until Jesus returns (Acts 2:17). Is that not God speaking???
I've heard the audible voice of Jesus, when he spoke to me I literally could not move, soon as he started to speak I knew it was the father and he told me, "Trust God and everything will be okay." His voice is very strong and solid hard to describe, when he speaks he has every last bit of your attention through and through. John 10:27
@@jacquesw8725 this is true! Def might have heard a voice that isn’t God. The scriptures are sufficient and we don’t need to hear and audible voice to know what God says.
Growing up in church, I’d heard this about the soft and still voice my entire life. I got saved at 38 years old. Which was only 6 years ago. And the first time I heard someone say God doesn’t speak to us, I thought it was blasphemy! lol then I listened and read and realized they were right! I had just believed all the people who were telling me this. I guess so many believed it i didn’t question it. But they never said audibly as far as I know, they said it more as a thought, but from God. Either way that’s so dangerous
One of the most powerful times that God spoke to me was in the shower, something about the noise of the shower drowns out all outside noises. I was just pondering the crucifixion of Christ and in my mind I said "but you died for literally billions of people" and He stopped me in my thoughts and said, "Don't you know I would have died just for you?" Let's just say I wept for a long while and I was forever marked by His love for me personally. Galatians 2:20 [20]I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I now understand what Paul was saying in this verse. 🙌❤️✝️ Hope this blesses someone 🙏
We hear His voice through those who are in Christ??? Because there's NO Condemnation for those who are in Christ... Amen!!! Those who are in Christ are TeamJesus??? I BELIEVE so!!! God Bless YOU!!! Amen!!!
I cannot vouch for others, but being saved over forty five years, God has spoken to me only twice that I can testify. Yes, He still speaks to his people, but some say continually that God spoke to them, even more than to Moses who wrote the law. When God spoke to me it was guidance and instruction, not some new biblical revelation. Those who have never heard God speak are left to wonder. Or are left to doubt.
Excellent teaching brother Corey. You expressed what I often thought about the remarks of Justin Peters. Hearing audibly from God does not mean those words are equivalent to Scripture even if they are equally authoritative. But as you say, the way we "hear" from God is mainly through Scripture and the Spirit leading us. I would add that if someone said that God told them some new spiritual truth then they are adding to doctrine and effectively adding to Scripture. I should add that I greatly respect Justin Peters for his work calling out false teachers
Also, Corey, the Holy Spirit that indwells us, will lead us and remind and teach us of the word of God. God's Holy Spirit in me has help me out a lot in life and I'm now 68 years young.😊
Well shared Brother: What some Christians don't realize is this: The Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word, while The Bible is the written word - They HAVE NEVER, currently DO NOT, nor will they ever CONTRADICT each other. If he has spoken (past tense), then he is NO LONGER speaking. We are calling God a Liar.
God can speak to your soul and spirit. The Holy Spirit lives within us. He also speaks from reading and studying His word during teaching on Sundays (often confirming the message gotten from the bible), He can also speak through dreams while we are meditating on scripture, or when we are... praying. 🎉
I would kinda agree, but the Prodigal Son parable did deal with The Lord restoring a lost son in status and resources. So I would say material/tangible requests are more a heart issue, in that what you ask for is less important than the motivation behind it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CCD, The prodigal son was restored in relationship to his father, where he lived under the status and blessings from his father. As he had spent his inheritance, he only had what the Father blessed him with, it wasn't his.
@judithmargret5972 If gifting doesn’t allow us to count stuff as "ours", then nothing is truly ours as James 1:17 tells use where all good & perfect gifts come from...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 I didn't say that. I only said the prodigal son had nothing left of his own, he depended totally on his father's love and grace Exactly like we do.
The Lord Calls Samuel in I Samuel 3 comes to my mind because the message is how do we respond and if whether or not we will obey. The power of discernment becomes a necessity.
I believe God audibly speaks through the Spirit in us. However, I believe 99% of what comes out the Charismatic movement is voices in their own head, daydreams, their own thoughts, or just straight up lies. (Troy Black is the perfect example of someone who thinks every thought in their head or dream at night is a revelation from God)
I think God speaks to us through His spirit in us and how we know its Him is if the message aligns with the word in the scriptures and its for obedience not lawless.
People I know who were raised in families where "God spoke" to their parents have said that it was a cop out for sin -getting in debt, doing what they wanted to do and justifying it with "It was the Lord's idea." We have seen it first hand, too, where people have said that God told them to do something that contradicted His Word and they got mad when told that God would not tell you to do something that contradicted His own Word. We even had one who said he couldn't leave where he was until God told him to. I guess "God spoke" when the homeowner said he had to start paying rent if he didn't leave. There is so much in scripture that we could read it hundreds of times and learn something new every day. We have all that we need. If we don't listen to what He has already told us, why would we be so arrogant to think He is going to tell us something extra and special to us? Another observation is that those who say God spoke to them are the ones who rarely, if ever, open their Bibles and study scripture. I heard a "pastor" once who shared all that "God told" him just that morning before he got up to speak and never used one word from scripture. No thank you. The Bible says, "Study to show thyself approved, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly deciding the Word of Truth."
Well spoken. Prophecy does still exist today as mentioned in the Bible, but it's not what a lot of people imagine it to be. God speaks through the Holy Spirit. God spoke to me in church many years ago through another person. I knew it was God because of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the confirmation that it's God speaking. He didn't claim to be a prophet and he didn't exalt himself in any way. It was a revelation meant only for me.
It is true God's word and instructions are found in the Bible. You're also right Corey in that we can go to two extremes and neither are good. (One, God speaks to us and we throw away the Bible, or two, we make the Bible to be God) For many cessationists, I believe they treat the Bible as if it is God. We also see it within those who practice Judaism. We see them dancing with Torah scrolls and having it locked away in displays. God's ways are contained in Scripture, and we have to study to show ourselves approved. You have to mull over the scriptures and ask questions. Like a cow grazing on and chewing the cud. We have to chew the scriptures, swallow it, regurgitate, and chew on it again. This is what familiarize us to God's ways. When we have a firm understanding of who God is, the Holy Spirit will lead us according to what we've hidden in our hearts. Interestingly enough, the "canon" of scripture has always been incomplete. We know there are lost books that OT scripture makes mention of, and they rise those lost books to the same level of authority. We know Jude and Peter makes mention of Enoch 1. Paul makes mention of sayings of Jesus that aren't recorded in the Gospels, such as the saying of it being more blessed to give than to receive. Yet the 66 books we do have, we as Christians share it in common. The true canon God cares about, is what He Himself is writing on our hearts. We then become living epistles to the world. So for the two extremes surrounding this, they are both wrong. We have to rightly divide scripture, and hide it in our hearts. God leads us from there.
He spoke to me once and it got me on the right road because I had strayed away. Now some of these people always hear from God and then say something that doesn't come true. Those people make it seems God is not speaking anymore because of all of the false prophesies
I also want to say who decided these books are canon, the law of YAH is written in our hearts and minds no one is unreachable because HE has access to every one of HIS creation, that’s why HE says when you hear his voice harden not your heart
Hear my voice, HE spoke to me I asked HIM what is your name and HE spoke to me at 2:34 am and said my name is YAH Psalm 68:4 and I had never read that before jumped up read it and HIS name was there! HalleluYah!
I’ve heard from God audibly quite a few times , but I’m never looking for it and 99% of the time it’s Him telling me to do something. 80% of that time is stuff I don’t wanna do 😂😂. Other 19% is God telling me something pertaining to something I’m doing in life or something I may have prayed for . Few times he’s told me something to tell someone else but that has to do more with God speaking to them than me .
You should read more. Also God is specific. So IF someone says i have a word for you and its vague. You can pretty much bet its not from God. If they say God said this or that and it doesnt happen. Do not associate with that person any more. They are telling lies on God.
Because he is the same, doesn't mean he does things the same way all the time. In the old covenant, he commanded people to sacrifice animals, but in the new, he sacrificed his son.
It is his version of don't change not ours, he has a new testament because the old testament was not sufficient, he used to accept bulls and goats and now he does not, did he change?
Amen, I can testify of that, stay with the word, notice how they try to attack it, but they're falling apart, God never leaves himself without a witness. You know what he speaks of that's a scripture for the supernatural God to connect with his supernatural children, they're eternal just as God is. If you can believe then go back and look at the other videos and see what has been slowly being taken away, Christ came to restore what man had at the garden, remember God word is eternal and is never out of context, it will meet every situation now then it ever did
Also need to consider Biblically, God never changed but he did use different methods . So us having the Holy Spirit is His method . No different than the way he spoke to Moses or Elijah , just a different method
When I read (2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of Gid may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.) I understand it as “All scripture.... throughly furnishes” & that means that we do not need any other “words from God”. And since all scripture is the living Word of God & it is Christ, & it cannot lie & will not lie, then anyone claiming that God is speaking to them & giving them new prophetic words or new revelations, outside of what is already written in scripture, then that person has to be the liar, because again, the living Word of God, the Bible, does not & cannot lie.
Of course he speaks , I pray and ask God questions and he answers as long as I abide in him. No it is not auidble ,but u just know. U check it with God character and the word . He is a living God ! I also know my own words or my own desires .it is hard sometimes
I thank God for a lot sometimes i say to God thank you weather it was you or not because you don't always know if it's him could be him and you not know it either way all glory goes to God
I found myself pregnant 36 years ago. My ex-husband was horribly abusive. I didnt want to continue with the pregnant. Id scheduled abortions but each time on the night before the procedure, I dreamed of my baby. I saw her face and i couldn't go through with the abortion. When she was born, I was in shock at the fact that she was the baby Id seen in my dreams. I saw her face
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know! God speaks! This prophetic WORD still stands 2024! No scriptures that says God discontinued speaking to his people. If he did, prayer would be USELESS. Think about that.🤔
Cory, I understand the point that you are making, but I. Also, understand the point that justin i's making. I'm not absolutely sure of your point that God may speak to us regarding ourselves and not for everyone. I still would think we would be able to confirm His speaking to us personly though His Word, but I will go with that for now. I think what justin is speaking about are these people going around and openly saying God said God said God said. Other believers have no way of knowing if what they speak is true if we have nothing to judge it by. That is why we must be strict advocates of the Word of God. I was caught up in the word of faith movement, and I almost lost my eternal life,had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of God. Love you, brother Cory. Thanks for all you do
God speaks to us and gets our attention in many ways. You have to be attentive to the Holy Spirit. Every time you read His word in the Bible, God is speaking to you.
How a *calvinist* should approach a person with *his* “gospel”: "Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most likely is that He hates you. I also don't know if He died for you on the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!" Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches. We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.* If God says that he died for everyone, *it means that He died for everyone:* *Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ; *1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *Titus **2:11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.
I was seeking council with the Holy Spirit and it reminded me that I was feeling guilty because I wasn’t helping my brother with yard work as much as I should, so I went outside and starting pulling up weeds. I noticed that it felt really good to do so. I hated yard work before. I paused for a moment and felt that this was pleasing to God and at the moment a dove flew into the yard and went right past me and landed on the neighbors roof and from the direction in came from there was another dove sitting on the fence. Now was God speaking to me directly or the Holy Spirit reminding of a conviction of the heart that I’d been ignoring? I’ve never seen a dove in person that I remember, could have been another bird but they were both white.
I believe it's very simple as Corey said, if God is speaking to you, you WON'T OR CAN'T miss it. He is the great I AM and if he says something you will hear. I believe the same applies to leading. If God is leading me in the sense this is exactly what he wants me to do, I won't miss it. Does God still speak audibly today, I can't find a single reference in the Bible that says he stopped. In my experience as well, living in a Muslim country, you hear people saying that Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me and they converted. Some I know 20 or 30 years ago and are still sound believers. But back to Corey's comment, this was never the norm and it's not today. Simply put, if you are not sure it's God, it's not. Nowhere in the Bible did people miss God when he spoke. He won't let you miss it.
How God spoke to the people through the Son before the Bible were through the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. He spoke to us through what He spoke to the apostles. Jesus said unto His disciples to teach everyone what they've heard from Him. So in the context of God speaking to us through His Son is the message of Jesus Christ and His teachings. But God does speak to us personally as well because He spoke to the apostles and other early Christians personally. He had spoken to me, not audibly but, through dreams in a prophetic way. Through dreams He also gave warnings unto me. He had spoken to my mother with a very loud voice more than once and also to my younger brother. And what was said were more personal but always aligned with scripture. And what was prophetically revealed always came to pass. And what was said were always right and just. So God do speak to us not just in the ways I've mentioned but in a lot more ways.
I have heard the Lord speak to me audibly on 2 occasions, in the last 30 years that I’ve been saved, concerning certain things that were happening in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever shared either encounter with anyone because it was for me. I definitely wasn’t expecting audible direction from the Lord but it got my attention for sure.
God speaks today!! To think he doesn't puts our infinite God into a box of our finite
can God save every single person regardless of belief?
can God save people who just try their best to be a good person?
can God redeem all the demons and Satan?
@@jalapeno.tabascoFirst of all NO ONE IS GOOD! BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND ARE SINNERS AND HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! THIS IS WHY GOD SENT HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR THE FORGIVENESS AND REMISSION FOR ALL SINS FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE!

He speaks through his word. You don't hear him in an audible voice.

I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church.
My Pastor preached multiple times that Christians cannot hear the voice of God anymore because we now have the bible.
I have so much respect for my Pastor. He was a very good and humble servant of God.
But I do believe that God is still willing to talk to us today.
The question is are we willing to listen.
Then God really HAS NOT SPOKEN - Hebrews 1: 1-2 - Think about it.
Think about this also: Scholars, Doctors of Divinity will tell you that God has over 200 Bibles, and ALL are the word of God. May I ask a question? - Which one? To get you thinking along the RIGHT path, think about this: How many Birth Certificates does any person have? Suppose I gave you 2 Birth Certificates with EVERY DETAIL agreeing except one. On one Certificate it has an Asterisk which says "One Birth Certificate has other information" - What are YOU going to do? Please receive this in the same spirit with which it is sent - Okay?
So what you are saying is the Creator of the universe is willing to speak to us, desires to speak to us just as He did with His prophets of days gone by... but because of some unwillingness on our part, He is not able? Do you have Scriptural support for this belief? Like a passage somewhere the shows God attempting to communicate with someone but His ability to do so was limited by the abilities of His creation? Or is there a reference somewhere that would suggest the prophets had this same need to be taught how to listen to their Creator? Is there one text that demonstrates they were unable to hear what He was attempting to communicate to them until they became willing to listen?
@@bradleymarvel
If we are not willing to listen to God, Then why should he say anything at all?
Prophets are special people who are willing and obedient, but they're not perfect.
Jeremiah was in danger of losing his ability to hear God when he started complaining and continue to doubt.
David can hear God's voice. But being in sin prevented him from hearing it.
Jonah too was rebellious.
Isaiah 59:1-2 says, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear".
Psalm 66:18 says, "If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened".
Samuel had to learn hearing God's voice when he was a young boy.
Eli had to help him understand who's voice was calling him.
Sometimes Christians can't hear God's voice because they just simply don't believe or is not aware of it.
Discernment goes a long way in THIS aspect. THIS is why we need to seek Godly counseling through His Word instead of some random person.
Speaking of Discernment, God also uses "people"!
Love your channel. You have to be careful about saying what God can and can’t do! I have heard God speak to me audibly once. It was not a prophecy but directly dealt with my situation. He speaks through his word and also on our thoughts. We need to know the word to determine who is speaking to us.
Agree 100%!!! I get VERY LEARY when folks try to put limits on God when He CLEARLY asked, at least TWICE rhetorically, "is anything too hard for The Lord?!" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Question: Can God CONTRADICT Himself? Yes or No?
It is written:
Heb 1:1-2 KJB
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
@@CCD_106 those are good words and I never thought about it that way! That will preach
Why is this subject so misunderstood? Let me make it plain! In the garden of Eden God did not speak with Eve. The Bible says that God fellowshipped with Adam in the cool of the day.
When God gave the command regarding not eating of the tree in the center of the garden, he gave that to Adam! This is the reason it is said that Eve was deceived, (nothing happened when Eve ate off of the tree in deception, because she herself did not hear the command directly from God) but Adam was not deceived, to the contrary, Adam flat out disobeyed what God had directly spoken to him.
Adam was the head of Eve, Adam was Eve's covering. God honors headship which is the reason why he spoke to Adam, and it was Adam's responsibility to teach Eve. We are dealing with the same thing today. Hebrews chapter 1 tells us that in time past God spoke at many times, and in variousunto the fathers by the prophets. but hath in these days speaks to us by his son (Jesus Christ) it is easy to understand that God (the Father) does not speak to us at all. We (the body of christ) have a savior and a head, whose named Christ Jesus. The scripture makes it clear that we are under the lordship of Jesus Christ and God the father has given us unto his son Jesus christ.
It is Jesus that speaks to some of us in an audible voice just as he did with the apostle Paul while on the road to Damascus. Hebrews chapter 1 plainly says that God speaks to us through his son. Jesus knows the will of the father, Jesus is the head of the church, and it is Jesus that has the ability to speak to any member of the body by whatever means necessary, including in an audible voice.
And why wouldn't he? It is a personal relationship after all, it would pertain to us, I think, if he were to, it would be about us, him, or our situation. I would however doubt or question someone who said for us that they heard and god wants us to know or a new word or a revelation that is outside of scripture. But people want to take it away from those who have heard God directly, not looking for something, simply asking and receiving
If God is not speaking to His children today, it isn't because He is lacking in love towards us! Rather, He is ensuring we hold His written word with great esteem. If we were to constantly be expecting a "fresh word" from Him, we would soon be neglecting the word He's already given us.
Well... People are going to reject the word regardless. It's human nature. God does indeed speak today but He never contridicts Himself.
@@metza_officialI agree with you. The Apostle Paul said th the scripture he wss compelled by the Spirit to got to Jerusalem. Acts 20:22-24.
Acts 16:6 They were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
?? How did the Holy Spirit convey this to them?? The Holy Spirit had to give Paul and them the message in a
way that they knew it was him. So what was it a leading or an prompting in their spirit. Feel free to share
On this. Shalom.
That was before the bible was completed and compiled. He spoke or used different ways to communicate and put it in the book. But once he got to the end. He said don't add to the bible, Rev22:18. So it became a test for people, the test is are we going to believe in just his word, or are we going to believe also tongues, dreams, visions, angel visitations, voices or whatever outside of just the bible.
Corey, the Lord spoke to me one morning while I was reading the Bible. I had just finished praying, got in bed and was reading my Bible like I constantly do after getting home from work every morning. I am an Intensive Care Unit nurse. I would read until I fall asleep.
This particular morning while reading, I heard an audible voice in my room. He said, “Get back on your knees.”
I jerked my head out of the Bible and looked around. I thought that I was hearing things and ignored it.
I continued to read and about two minutes the same voice spoke again. “Get back on your knees.” This time with more of a command yet gentle.
I obeyed! I laid my Bible on the bed beside me and got back on my knees and started praying to Jesus Christ again that morning.
Something miraculous happened that morning which extended to a supernatural journey that was beyond my understanding.
I had no expectation prior to this of hearing or seeing anything.
So, not because you have not experienced it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. God can do anything He pleases. To anyone He pleases. He is God Almighty!
🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

How is one lead by the Holy Spirit if it is mute? Doesn’t God speak to us through His word in our spirit and guides in all truth as well as His plans for us. When I speak plans I mean marriage, career, living situation, where to live even… I wouldn’t be where I am today had I not waited to hear from the Lord. He called me to become a firefighter. So I began the path about 5 years ago. I became an EMT (which is required for a firefighter) and graduated school right at the beginning of pandemic. God used me during the pandemic heavily. I knew it was all according to His timing and not my own. Had I not listened to Him I would have been jobless going stir crazy at home, but no. I was blessed by being able to pray over many people and witness. Here I am now even, in a new state going to paramedic school because that’s what he’s leading me to do now. I’ve been blessed by His mighty strength the whole time. It hasn’t been all rainbow and butterflies. It’s been real tough but I know my God and He is the God who speaks.
”To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.“
John 10:3-5 KJV
How is the voice heard?…
”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.“
Revelation 3:20 KJV
It clearly says hear…
”And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I BESOUGHT THE LORD THRICE, that it might depart from me. And HE SAID unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.“
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV
Paul petitions/prays to the Lord 3 times and THE LORD RESPONDS audibly.

I don’t know about prophesying. But I have heard God speak directly to me concerning me. 1. Once when I was homeless living between homes of friends and family. I had a strong addiction to cigarettes that got to a terrible time of picking through butts not even mine. I got on my knees and begged God to take the taste away. I heard “Just stop” and I was by myself. I thought no way. But I obeyed and never tasted for cigarettes since 2016. Then it was another time I had been talking with God and asked him a question and I heard words that sounded like scripture and looked it up and it was indeed scripture that I had not heard before. It was in the context of my situation. It is rare but when it happens it is kinda scary and shocking. But the best one was when I was given the time my preemie would be coming home and the doctor thought I was crazy. Said yeah right ok. Three weeks later my daughter was home exactly what was said. So was that Satan or God? Nothing is ever by chance.
The devil is an angel of light. He can portray as a good person doing incredible things thinking it’s of Christ. That’s why I understand why Paul was blind. We are blind walking in darkness the only way to walk the straight path is to carry a candle light and the candle light is the KJV
@@azz2203that’s ridiculous. This man was led into MORE faith and belief in Jesus from these words spoken. Why would Satan come against his own kingdom and lead someone into more faith and closer relationship to God?

We can make a long thread about this but it seems like people here give up or they’re in denial. KJV is from TR which are Greek Scriptures. It is the candle light because the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding. So if the Bible commands us not to lean on our own understanding where are you going to seek guidance?

Amen and Amen
So true!
God absolutely speaks!!!! He speaks in many different ways, he can speak audibly, but he never has to me. He speaks today I believe mostly through His Word, he still speaks in visions and dreams, and what I call the Spiritual ear or inner ear, in that still small voice. As we mature as believers we recognize his voice more and more. Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lamb of God, Bless His Holy Name!!!
Yes he's the same God of yesterday, but what people don't see is that he has a program that changes throughout time. And I can tell you once the bible was finished, people were tested. The test was do you believe the bible only, or do you believe he is still giving messages outside the bible. Sadly many have and are failing the test. I just know that I don't want to here him say to me "I never knew".
God can speak, God can do an say anything, but I’m a true follower of Christ and pastor an I’ve never heard Gods voice audibly!
The Lord spoke to me directly only once and through signs many times in the beginning of my salvation. He called me to be a “foregoer”. That was the word I heard after I cried out to Him asking Him /begging Him to speak to me to give me direction. He called me to be an evangelist. Foregoer is another word for forerunner or messenger.
Noun. foregoer (plural foregoers) Alternative form of forgoer. (historical) A purveyor of the king,
When I looked into the Greek to see where this was used I found the word “foregoer” was used and found the word presbeuo in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 and Ephesians 6:20.
God is good and will speak to you if you are called and you seek Him with all your heart. Praise the Lord!!!
God speaks to us in so many different ways.... Through signs, conveying circumstances, by the holy spirit of God who lives inside of us, absolutely through HIS' word, and audible.....
Signs you can’t be serious right? Your in danger
Matthew 16:4 KJV
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
@@azz2203 There is a big difference between one that seek after signs, and God using signs to speak to whom ever....
@@azz2203Do you lack reading comprehension skills? This clearly is talking about one trying to convince themselves they've received a sign.
God does not use signs show me in scriptures that God will use signs for believers during our timeline. You just can’t say it without backing up scriptures. If you’re going to say something please use scriptures because I understand scriptures of Christ rather than the language of men.
Where in scriptures does it say God uses Signs?
Read it out loud😂😂😂 I have to remember that one. He speaks to us all the time. We have to be still and listen.
The closest to actually hearing from God directly is this: whenever I am in desperate need, I ask God for help. The thought that crosses my mind after that is this, "I am." He is helping us even in trials because He works all things together for our Good. Is he helping you?
I just screenshot this, this subject was something I was just praying about not just this , but this subject was in my prayer awhile ago. I agree with Corey's assessment, I believe what is spoken should align with God's Word. I have had experiences with the subject as well. Before I met my wife, I had a dream and the description matched her, I won't go into the whole matter, but before I awoke I heard "If you choose this, you will go through a lot of pain, but don't worry I'll be with you". I'm by the grace of God coming through this pain, I should have paid more attention. But God is with me❤️. Another experience not long ago while I was cleaning I heard my daughter was pregnant, I replied God forbid. My daughter wasn't. So it is "very important!". We make sure it's The Lord we're hearing from it could definitely change your life. Be safe and trust in The Lord and develop a relationship with Him by reading and studying His Word. And learn to follow His Holy Spirit leading. Be continually Blessed Siblings in Jesus Christ ❤. I screenshot this because after it finished it reads " An error occurred" 🤔???
I was born and raised Muslim and had never read the Bible before. I had people prophesy to me that Christ wanted me and I would become a preacher. I remember always arguing and debating them.
July 15, 2015, I lay in bed with tears and called out to Christ Jesus. As clear as day, I heard a voice repeat these words to me, “new creature” time and time again (2 Cor 5:17). I didn’t even know what they meant. That night, I had a dream where a woman approached me, called me ‘Pastor’ and asked me to pray for her. Afterwards, I had subsequent visions including one of my Muslim father praying in a mosque asking me to return; something he later admitted to.
While Charismatics take things too far, Cessationists do the same, but in the opposite direction by denying God’s power.
Shalom!
Cessationists don’t deny God’s power. They don’t deny exceptional miracles. They deny that it is God’s will to give out spiritual gifts that serve as signs when the prophetic meaning of the signs was fulfilled long ago.
For example, God might heal someone, but that’s not the same as giving a man the ability to go around healing people. And giving you a dream is not the same as giving you the ability to continue dreaming prophetically.
@@ricksonora6656this is very well said! Very true. A lot of people often don’t know what cessationism means
@@Nehemiah810 Thanks. I implied an important distinction but wasn’t clear. Cessationists also believe in non-sign spiritual gifts. Teaching, hospitality, discernment, administration, evangelism, giving, showing mercy (helping people, such as fixing a faucet or car, or making a meal for someone who’s injured) are spiritual gifts for all time.
Here’s something I’ve never heard anyone point out:
1 Corinthians 12 has an interesting study on the division of labor within the Trinity and in the church. God assigns roles and the Spirit equips accordingly. The Son leads the campaigns.
Sometime, make three columns labeled Father, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Then go through that chapter and list what each Person does, with the verses.
GOOD stuff "God does not attempt to speak to anyone. " great content, solid word! God bless you brother.
Why wouldn’t God speak to His children in which ever way He pleases?
Isn’t He our Father who created and loves us?
So, let me understand this. He can create the whole world and everything in it but it’s impossible for Him to speak audibly to us???🤔. Why do these intellectuals find this so hard to believe?
Anything is possible with God, and there is nothing that God can't do. God communicates with us in many ways, in ways that we couldn't even imagine. He's the Messiah!
@@slimdude2011He can not go off his own script. If he compiled the bible telling us of stories of dreams, visions, tongues, angels, or even using a donkey to speak. And put in in a book for us to read. It does not mean that we are to look for those to continue. Especially when he said were not to add to it by believing in other stuff Rev22:18.
Adam spoke to Eve, Adam had the word/instructions and he's the one who passed them down to Eve.
🙏
Amen... Glory To Almighty God The Father, Our Lord & Savior Christ Jesus, And The Anointing Of His Holy Spirit! Amen & Amen!
Reading the Word of God and being led by the Holy Spirit is the key to success as a Christian 😊😊
Brother Cory you hit the nail right on the head. Reading the Bible and being led by the Holy Spirit 🙌 🙏,
I had a dream after I first got saved....and in the dream I was laying on my stomach in a desert place. I tried to stand up, but could not...no matter how hard I tried, I could not stand to my feet. I felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me, "Be humble". When I let go and submitted....grass began to grow, and trees began to sprout...the sky turned a beautiful blue and birds were chirping and flying and I was able to stand up and then I awoken from the dream. God is good. Jesus promised us the Comforter when he ascended....the word "Comforter" is akin to the greek word "Paraciete" which is "He who walks alongside to help". The Holy Spirit is the seal who guides us and impresses upon us to do His will, who walks alongside us to help.
God speaks audibly. It tells me a lot about these ministers who say God don't speak audibly. Maybe, the Lord don't speak to them audibly. Once you have had a walking and talking relationship with the Lord, you know his voice. If you hear more than one voice. You can ask the Lord to salience the voice that is not his. I first heard the Lord speak to me in an audible voice by in 1974. I was in a life and death situation. After He saved my life, we talked for the rest of the night. I would wake up each day for next weeks, in the morning and start the conversation with the Lord. Sometimes, the conversations was not about anything serious, I just love talking to him. He was not only my God but my best friend, I did not suppose to be alive. From that day to now, I can hear him. Even in my life when I started to drifted back in to the world, I could still hear him talking to me. He never gave up on me and he never stop talking to me. Sometimes, when I hear a minister who speaks so well and knowledgeable say something like, God don't talk audibly, to me, it exposes them as a fraud. Just say you don't know if he speaks audibly I will have more respect for that.
Yes, God still speaks to us.
I also heard Gods audible voice before I ever believed. I was at a horrible point in life and was hysterically crying out to “whatever God” would hear me. I screamed in distress to know the truth. I need salvation. Little did I know, I’d wake up the next morning and my life would be changed.
I went to bed that night and woke up to a voice saying AUDIBLY AND CLEARLY “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.” I heard this THREE TIMES and then it was followed by “This is the word of God.”. I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THIS WAS SCRIPTURE. My entire life I thought it was “Jesus is the way, the truth and the LIGHT.” I was wrong and never knew because I wasn’t a Christian or a true believer yet. The next morning, I opened my Bible and found John 14:6 and was amazed. That was 4 years ago! I thank Jesus for loving me and saving me and for his grace!
Amen amen amen!!! Im so tired of people lying on God by saying “God told me” in a audible voice x y and z….🤦🏾♀️! Just stop it!
Read and mediate on the word of God and he WILL SPEAK to you. Thank God for the holy spirit!!
Bro I just want to take the time to say thank you! Your videos are always very insightful and what I love best of all is that you always back it up with scripture you are now my favorite channel on CZcams and I thank you sir, for your integrity to the gospel and for your boldness to call out anything that goes against it. Many blessings and prayers for you brother. Continue doing what you’re doing. I always look forward to any new video drop. I listen to it while I’m at work delivering. Love you, man. Thank you and I appreciate you. Blessings from Cali!
This was great teaching. Thank you
Great Lesson Corey,thank you.
Isaiah 30:21
[21] Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Amen!!!
God does speak. In so many different ways. Which is how I got sober, and released from anxiety, and so much more.
Roman’s says creation speaks of Him in chapters 1-2. He speaks through His word. He leads us via the conscience He gave us. He gives us discernment to tell if things are of Him or not. He said we would have dreams and visions. I know He has spoken to people audibly in the Bible, but has not yet spoken to me audibly. I do not expect it nor do I say it could never happen. He is God and He does what should be done. I do not put expectations on Him nor do I limit Him. “Lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Where we have to be very careful is in telling others we know what Gods is saying to them.
I believe God speaks to us through scripture and through prayer. The issue is some people say God spoke to them and they exposit the scriptures properly
There are times where God puts something on my heart, and every bone in my body knows that it is a command. I will lose sleep thinking about it until God’s will is done. My conscience will not let me rest until it is done, and when I obey the command a weight is lifted off my shoulders. The command is always in line with scripture. That is clearly God speaking to me, it’s not audible, but the call is so strong that I know who it is from.
When the Lord speaks in guidance doesn’t mean it a canonical issues. I think about the word that Agabus shared confirming Paul’s journey to Roman which was previously communicated to Paul by the Holy Spirit. How does one receive wisdom from God when they request it? God speaks in whatever way He wants.
God has spoken to me a number of times in my Spirit apart from Holy Scriptures. Don't put God in a box. Because you have not had such an experience don't think that others have not.
Support that with scripture. Peter said that God has given us everything we need that pertains to life and godliness, so outside this word there's nothing else.
@@naeembourne2474Amos 3:7-8 and also Philippians 2:13. OT, NT, no matter as God has no variableness... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 amos 3 were speaking of the prophets of old. When Jesus came...the Word...He is the Prophet that was to come. There are no prophets (foretelling) today. God has given us everything we need in His word.
As for Philippians...the context is that God is working in his people through the power of the Holy Spirit to "do" His will.
There is no Word. Do God speaks to us? YES...either through his word, or it will be backed by his word.
Hebrew 1:1-2...God in pastimes spoke to us through the prophets. Now he is speaking to us through His Son (the Word). The book of Hebrews talk about how there is no one greater than Jesus. So why would God go back and speak privately to someone to give us the word. Are they greater than Jesus?
@edwardrobinson3244...ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! 🙏✨️❤️
@naeembourne2474 I 100% agree that God will never speak/communicate anything that contradicts His Word! However, I would not rule out that there has never been or will be a prophet since Jesus (I take it you're a cessationist) and I know for a fact prophesy is still being given (happened to me personally) and will continue until Jesus returns (Acts 2:17). Is that not God speaking???
Thank you brother Corey, powerful teaching,God bless,still praying.
Best and timely advice!
I've heard the audible voice of Jesus, when he spoke to me I literally could not move, soon as he started to speak I knew it was the father and he told me, "Trust God and everything will be okay." His voice is very strong and solid hard to describe, when he speaks he has every last bit of your attention through and through.
John 10:27
You may have heard an audible voice that was not Jesus!
@@jacquesw8725 who was it?
@@slimj82 If it's not of God, then I'd say demonic! You do know that they can counterfeit right?
@@jacquesw8725 this is true! Def might have heard a voice that isn’t God. The scriptures are sufficient and we don’t need to hear and audible voice to know what God says.
@@Nehemiah810 why do you guys want to take it away from people, it is weird
Growing up in church, I’d heard this about the soft and still voice my entire life. I got saved at 38 years old. Which was only 6 years ago. And the first time I heard someone say God doesn’t speak to us, I thought it was blasphemy! lol then I listened and read and realized they were right! I had just believed all the people who were telling me this. I guess so many believed it i didn’t question it. But they never said audibly as far as I know, they said it more as a thought, but from God. Either way that’s so dangerous
One of the most powerful times that God spoke to me was in the shower, something about the noise of the shower drowns out all outside noises.
I was just pondering the crucifixion of Christ and in my mind I said "but you died for literally billions of people" and He stopped me in my thoughts and said, "Don't you know I would have died just for you?"
Let's just say I wept for a long while and I was forever marked by His love for me personally.
Galatians 2:20
[20]I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I now understand what Paul was saying in this verse. 🙌❤️✝️
Hope this blesses someone 🙏
Good Preaching Preacher, Thankyou.
We hear His voice through those who are in Christ??? Because there's NO Condemnation for those who are in Christ... Amen!!! Those who are in Christ are TeamJesus??? I BELIEVE so!!! God Bless YOU!!! Amen!!!
Amen!🙏🏾
Amen
I cannot vouch for others, but being saved over forty five years, God has spoken to me only twice that I can testify.
Yes, He still speaks to his people, but some say continually that God spoke to them, even more than to Moses who wrote the law.
When God spoke to me it was guidance and instruction, not some new biblical revelation.
Those who have never heard God speak are left to wonder.
Or are left to doubt.
God does absolutely speak. And not just through Scripture.
Excellent teaching brother Corey. You expressed what I often thought about the remarks of Justin Peters. Hearing audibly from God does not mean those words are equivalent to Scripture even if they are equally authoritative. But as you say, the way we "hear" from God is mainly through Scripture and the Spirit leading us. I would add that if someone said that God told them some new spiritual truth then they are adding to doctrine and effectively adding to Scripture. I should add that I greatly respect Justin Peters for his work calling out false teachers
OH HOW HE SPEAKS TO US, OH HOW HE WALKS WITH US.
Excellent job Corey
Also, Corey, the Holy Spirit that indwells us, will lead us and remind and teach us of the word of God. God's Holy Spirit in me has help me out a lot in life and I'm now 68 years young.😊
That is the key Sir Brother Cory, the Word of God is inspired. Get into the Word, the Bible and listen to God speak
Well shared Brother:
What some Christians don't realize is this:
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word, while The Bible is the written word - They HAVE NEVER, currently DO NOT, nor will they ever CONTRADICT each other. If he has spoken (past tense), then he is NO LONGER speaking. We are calling God a Liar.
God can speak to your soul and spirit. The Holy Spirit lives within us. He also speaks from reading and studying His word during teaching on Sundays (often confirming the message gotten from the bible), He can also speak through dreams while we are meditating on scripture, or when we are... praying. 🎉
Thank you
I also want to say that asking about jobs, spouses, riches etc as far as material things is not scriptural no one in the scriptures asked about gain.
I would kinda agree, but the Prodigal Son parable did deal with The Lord restoring a lost son in status and resources. So I would say material/tangible requests are more a heart issue, in that what you ask for is less important than the motivation behind it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CCD,
The prodigal son was restored in relationship to his father, where he lived under the status and blessings from his father.
As he had spent his inheritance, he only had what the Father blessed him with, it wasn't his.
@judithmargret5972 If gifting doesn’t allow us to count stuff as "ours", then nothing is truly ours as James 1:17 tells use where all good & perfect gifts come from...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 I didn't say that. I only said the prodigal son had nothing left of his own, he depended totally on his father's love and grace
Exactly like we do.
In all things through prayer and supplication bring your request unto god….
The Lord Calls Samuel in I Samuel 3 comes to my mind because the message is how do we respond and if whether or not we will obey. The power of discernment becomes a necessity.
I believe God audibly speaks through the Spirit in us. However, I believe 99% of what comes out the Charismatic movement is voices in their own head, daydreams, their own thoughts, or just straight up lies. (Troy Black is the perfect example of someone who thinks every thought in their head or dream at night is a revelation from God)
Well stated.
It is the Holy Spirit that speaks to us in addition to the scriptures.
Extremes always come as a duality of parallel opposites.
I think God speaks to us through His spirit in us and how we know its Him is if the message aligns with the word in the scriptures and its for obedience not lawless.
Good teaching bless you
Good break down and explination!
Great video
There are gifts that operate only by the audible speaking from God
Prophesy, Words of Wisdom, Words if Knowledge and even Preaching.
People I know who were raised in families where "God spoke" to their parents have said that it was a cop out for sin -getting in debt, doing what they wanted to do and justifying it with "It was the Lord's idea." We have seen it first hand, too, where people have said that God told them to do something that contradicted His Word and they got mad when told that God would not tell you to do something that contradicted His own Word. We even had one who said he couldn't leave where he was until God told him to. I guess "God spoke" when the homeowner said he had to start paying rent if he didn't leave. There is so much in scripture that we could read it hundreds of times and learn something new every day. We have all that we need. If we don't listen to what He has already told us, why would we be so arrogant to think He is going to tell us something extra and special to us? Another observation is that those who say God spoke to them are the ones who rarely, if ever, open their Bibles and study scripture. I heard a "pastor" once who shared all that "God told" him just that morning before he got up to speak and never used one word from scripture. No thank you. The Bible says, "Study to show thyself approved, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly deciding the Word of Truth."
God does speak to us. Primarily thru the words of the Bible, & also thru the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Brother this is great teaching. Wow so blessed to watch your content. 🙌🏿🙏🏾
Well spoken. Prophecy does still exist today as mentioned in the Bible, but it's not what a lot of people imagine it to be. God speaks through the Holy Spirit. God spoke to me in church many years ago through another person. I knew it was God because of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the confirmation that it's God speaking. He didn't claim to be a prophet and he didn't exalt himself in any way. It was a revelation meant only for me.
You'll know a true prophet when you hear them.
Good advice
It is true God's word and instructions are found in the Bible. You're also right Corey in that we can go to two extremes and neither are good. (One, God speaks to us and we throw away the Bible, or two, we make the Bible to be God) For many cessationists, I believe they treat the Bible as if it is God. We also see it within those who practice Judaism. We see them dancing with Torah scrolls and having it locked away in displays. God's ways are contained in Scripture, and we have to study to show ourselves approved. You have to mull over the scriptures and ask questions. Like a cow grazing on and chewing the cud. We have to chew the scriptures, swallow it, regurgitate, and chew on it again. This is what familiarize us to God's ways. When we have a firm understanding of who God is, the Holy Spirit will lead us according to what we've hidden in our hearts.
Interestingly enough, the "canon" of scripture has always been incomplete. We know there are lost books that OT scripture makes mention of, and they rise those lost books to the same level of authority. We know Jude and Peter makes mention of Enoch 1. Paul makes mention of sayings of Jesus that aren't recorded in the Gospels, such as the saying of it being more blessed to give than to receive. Yet the 66 books we do have, we as Christians share it in common. The true canon God cares about, is what He Himself is writing on our hearts. We then become living epistles to the world. So for the two extremes surrounding this, they are both wrong. We have to rightly divide scripture, and hide it in our hearts. God leads us from there.
He spoke to me once and it got me on the right road because I had strayed away. Now some of these people always hear from God and then say something that doesn't come true. Those people make it seems God is not speaking anymore because of all of the false prophesies
The same thing with JM. He says something that you didn't agree with yet you were very gracious to his 'wrongness'
I also want to say who decided these books are canon, the law of YAH is written in our hearts and minds no one is unreachable because HE has access to every one of HIS creation, that’s why HE says when you hear his voice harden not your heart
Hear my voice, HE spoke to me I asked HIM what is your name and HE spoke to me at 2:34 am and said my name is YAH Psalm 68:4 and I had never read that before jumped up read it and HIS name was there! HalleluYah!
I like that I call Him Yah also and Yeshua
I’ve heard from God audibly quite a few times , but I’m never looking for it and 99% of the time it’s Him telling me to do something. 80% of that time is stuff I don’t wanna do 😂😂. Other 19% is God telling me something pertaining to something I’m doing in life or something I may have prayed for . Few times he’s told me something to tell someone else but that has to do more with God speaking to them than me .
The Lord said “shave your head bald like Corey”.
@@smartchristians nah Jesus hasn’t told me that yet I think in another 4 years he might just show me 😂😂😂😂
Wow, that was a good observation about Eve, I never thought about it like tht 🤔😊
The scripture says he is the same yesterday today and forevermore. Which means he speaks to us the same way today as he spoke to us yesterday
You should read more. Also God is specific. So IF someone says i have a word for you and its vague. You can pretty much bet its not from God. If they say God said this or that and it doesnt happen. Do not associate with that person any more. They are telling lies on God.
Because he is the same, doesn't mean he does things the same way all the time. In the old covenant, he commanded people to sacrifice animals, but in the new, he sacrificed his son.
It is his version of don't change not ours, he has a new testament because the old testament was not sufficient, he used to accept bulls and goats and now he does not, did he change?
Amen, I can testify of that, stay with the word, notice how they try to attack it, but they're falling apart, God never leaves himself without a witness. You know what he speaks of that's a scripture for the supernatural God to connect with his supernatural children, they're eternal just as God is. If you can believe then go back and look at the other videos and see what has been slowly being taken away, Christ came to restore what man had at the garden, remember God word is eternal and is never out of context, it will meet every situation now then it ever did
Also need to consider Biblically, God never changed but he did use different methods . So us having the Holy Spirit is His method . No different than the way he spoke to Moses or Elijah , just a different method
When I read (2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of Gid may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.) I understand it as “All scripture.... throughly furnishes” & that means that we do not need any other “words from God”. And since all scripture is the living Word of God & it is Christ, & it cannot lie & will not lie, then anyone claiming that God is speaking to them & giving them new prophetic words or new revelations, outside of what is already written in scripture, then that person has to be the liar, because again, the living Word of God, the Bible, does not & cannot lie.
Of course he speaks , I pray and ask God questions and he answers as long as I abide in him. No it is not auidble ,but u just know. U check it with God character and the word . He is a living God ! I also know my own words or my own desires .it is hard sometimes
Mt life was saved by a voice. I can’t explain it.
I thank God for a lot sometimes i say to God thank you weather it was you or not because you don't always know if it's him could be him and you not know it either way all glory goes to God
The correct spelling is whether not "weather".
I found myself pregnant 36 years ago.
My ex-husband was horribly abusive. I didnt want to continue with the pregnant. Id scheduled abortions but each time on the night before the procedure, I dreamed of my baby. I saw her face and i couldn't go through with the abortion.
When she was born, I was in shock at the fact that she was the baby Id seen in my dreams. I saw her face
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!
God speaks! This prophetic WORD still stands 2024! No scriptures that says God discontinued speaking to his people. If he did, prayer would be USELESS. Think about that.🤔
Cory, I understand the point that you are making, but I. Also, understand the point that justin i's making. I'm not absolutely sure of your point that God may speak to us regarding ourselves and not for everyone. I still would think we would be able to confirm His speaking to us personly though His Word, but I will go with that for now. I think what justin is speaking about are these people going around and openly saying God said God said God said. Other believers have no way of knowing if what they speak is true if we have nothing to judge it by. That is why we must be strict advocates of the Word of God. I was caught up in the word of faith movement, and I almost lost my eternal life,had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of God. Love you, brother Cory. Thanks for all you do
God speaks to us and gets our attention in many ways. You have to be attentive to the Holy Spirit. Every time you read His word in the Bible, God is speaking to you.
How a *calvinist* should approach a person with *his* “gospel”:
"Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most likely is that He hates you.
I also don't know if He died for you on the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!"
Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches.
We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.*
If God says that he died for everyone, *it means that He died for everyone:*
*Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ;
*1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *Titus **2:11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc
Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.
I was seeking council with the Holy Spirit and it reminded me that I was feeling guilty because I wasn’t helping my brother with yard work as much as I should, so I went outside and starting pulling up weeds. I noticed that it felt really good to do so. I hated yard work before. I paused for a moment and felt that this was pleasing to God and at the moment a dove flew into the yard and went right past me and landed on the neighbors roof and from the direction in came from there was another dove sitting on the fence. Now was God speaking to me directly or the Holy Spirit reminding of a conviction of the heart that I’d been ignoring?
I’ve never seen a dove in person that I remember, could have been another bird but they were both white.
"but they were both white"😂😂😂. Funny. Nice story too.
I believe it's very simple as Corey said, if God is speaking to you, you WON'T OR CAN'T miss it. He is the great I AM and if he says something you will hear. I believe the same applies to leading. If God is leading me in the sense this is exactly what he wants me to do, I won't miss it. Does God still speak audibly today, I can't find a single reference in the Bible that says he stopped. In my experience as well, living in a Muslim country, you hear people saying that Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me and they converted. Some I know 20 or 30 years ago and are still sound believers. But back to Corey's comment, this was never the norm and it's not today. Simply put, if you are not sure it's God, it's not. Nowhere in the Bible did people miss God when he spoke. He won't let you miss it.
How God spoke to the people through the Son before the Bible were through the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. He spoke to us through what He spoke to the apostles. Jesus said unto His disciples to teach everyone what they've heard from Him. So in the context of God speaking to us through His Son is the message of Jesus Christ and His teachings. But God does speak to us personally as well because He spoke to the apostles and other early Christians personally. He had spoken to me, not audibly but, through dreams in a prophetic way. Through dreams He also gave warnings unto me. He had spoken to my mother with a very loud voice more than once and also to my younger brother. And what was said were more personal but always aligned with scripture. And what was prophetically revealed always came to pass. And what was said were always right and just. So God do speak to us not just in the ways I've mentioned but in a lot more ways.
