HOW DO YOU KNOW GOD IS TALKING TO YOU?
When you learn a different language you must respect the vocabulary and the meanings of the words and the understanding of those meanings as those you are wanting to have a deep communicational exchange with. This is also the process when you are learning to communicate with God. You must respect the way he speaks to each of us. He gave us His written History "the Bible". The Bible is a book giving each of us the pattern to recognize Gods' character, likes and dislikes, disappointments and crowning gifts to us and the reasons to love Him. He being fair gives you the choice to know Him and love Him or not.
Here is how he said we would be taught to understand His ways.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN HEARING FROM GOD
When you have studied the scriptures and have understanding, then you find yourself questioning, looking at things, and measuring what you see against what is right, which is the word of God. The word brings you to remembrance. You will make fewer mistakes and you also prosper. So read to gain understanding. We provide Bible studies just for these occasions and/or just to get together.
FROM HIS WORD TO EACH OF US.
1Corinthians 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. YOU WHO ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR WORK TOGETHER AS ONE BODY WITH CHRIST AS THE HEAD KEEPING HIS WORD AND NEVER DENYING HIS NAME
1Corinthians 12:28 And * * God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. APOSTLES ARE THOSE STUDIED AND APPROVED READY TO GO OUT TO DO THE WILL AND THE WORK
1Corinthians 12:29 Are all * * apostles? are all * * prophets? are all * * teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1Corinthians 12:30 Have * all the gifts of healing? do all speak * with tongues? do all interpret ?
1Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
LOOK GOD GIVES YOU PROOF AGAIN BY ANOTHER WITNESS
Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: WE ARE THE SAINTS BEING PERFECTED
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: BECOMING CHRISTLIKE IN MIND, BODY, AND SOUL
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness *, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; WE ARE MATURE AND SURE OF THE WORD NOT ABLE TO BE DECEIVED
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: BECOMING CHRISTLIKE IN BODY, MIND, AND SOUL
AMEN!
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ON FIRE TO LEARN AND TO THOSE UNDERSTANDING IS GIVEN. INTRODUCING YOU TO THE WORD FOR YOU TO MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP OR BRINGING YOU INTO UNDERSTANDING IS THEIR PLEASURE.
IF YOU CAN MAKE THE LEAP, GET YOUR HEAD AROUND, SEE THE TRUTH OF WHAT YOU ARE EXPOSED TO, YOU MAY EVEN BELIEVE.
