8 ways God speaks to us today

He conversed with Adam in the first garden. He told Noah to build an ark. He spoke to Moses in a burning bush. He promised Abraham a son. Paul heard His voice on the way to Damascus. But does God still speak to us today?

If so, how? When? Where?

1. Through His Word in general.

2. Through His Son, Jesus Christ

3. Through Nature and God’s Creation

4. Through Other Believers

5. Through Music

6. Through Circumstances

7. Through His Spirit

8. Through Prayer

Does God speak to all of us the same way? No, we are all unique. Are these the only ways God speaks today? No. He’s a creative God. He speaks so many ways, including through miracles.

I can't ...

I can't pray LORD if I only live for myself
I cannot pray FATHER if I have not become His child
I can't pray WHAT IS IN HEAVEN if I'm still earthbound
I can't pray HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME if I use it suddenly
I can't pray LET YOUR KINGDOM COME if I don't carry out His word
I can't pray LET YOUR WILL BE DONE if I always want my own sense
I cannot pray for my DAILY BREAD if am living exponentially
I can't pray AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS when I walk around with a grudge
I can't pray LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION if I play with sin
I can't pray TO YOU BELONG TO THE KINGDOM if I'm not serving Jesus
I cannot pray AND THE POWER if there is still fear in my heart
I can't pray AND THE GLORY as the own I rule my life
I can't pray TILL ETERNITY if I don't expect His coming
I can't say AMEN if I don't believe like a child.

ABOUT ICE CREAM AND A CHILD'S PRAYER

"Ice Cream Is Sometimes Good For The Soul"

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would thank you even more if Mom gets us Ice Cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for Ice Cream! Why, I never!"

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?" my son asked.

"Cross my heart." Then in theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "too bad she never asks God for Ice Cream. A little Ice Cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally, I bought my kid Ice Cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his Sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice Cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already!"

Access to God ...

Do not underestimate the power of prayer ...

Diane, a young Christian university student, was home for the summer. She had gone to visit some friends one evening and the time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

She ended up staying longer than she had planned and had to walk home alone. But she wasn’t afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked “God” to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God’s protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safety.

The following day, she read in the paper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley, just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if their was anything they could do for her, she asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, “Because she wasn’t alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.”
