God still Speaks

‘God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds’ ( Heb 1:1, 2).

The Almighty God - the author of life, loves and cares about His creation, consequently His purpose and desire has always been to guide men to His ultimate purpose. He is not a helpless and careless God who folds His arms and looks on unconcerned about the events of history. However the truth is, because of the dominion or authority He has given men to rule the earth, He works through men. In the Garden of Eden He spoke to the first couple, had fellowship with them and gave them great guidance, as a father guides His children. Later on, He chose Noah and guided him, and through him preserved a remnant in the midst of great perversion. His fellowship with Abraham, Moses and ultimately the Nation of Israel are also great examples of His desire to guide His creation to His blessings. Through the Law and the prophets He also spoke to and guided the Nation of Israel.

Today, God is still speaking to all men through the written Word of God and the Spirit of Christ, who is the Holy Spirit. He speaks to the Church, nations and individuals through His Word and Spirit. In Christ dwells the fullness of God.  He is the embodiment of the wisdom and understanding of God. He is the way, the truth and the Life. He is the only source of the wisdom of God - that offers a fulfilled life. He is also the truth- dispelling all the deceits of the enemy. We live in a world full of mysteries and many are the deceptions of the enemy. Uncountable millions are living in darkness, blinded by the devil - the prince of this world. It is Christ alone and the power in His word that dispels that darkness and brings illumination and fulfillment in life, to the ignorant hearts of men. 

Jesus is also the Life, besides and without Him there is no life. All that the Law and prophets proclaimed were a fore shadow of the reality that Jesus came to proclaim and offer. He laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning and the heavens and the earth are still held together by the principles inherent in His word. The answers to all the mysteries and difficult questions of life are in Him. So 1 Corinthians 1:24 says, Christ has been made to us the wisdom and power of God. Today many in our contemporary world can’t make the meaning of life, regardless of their academic feats. They have no fulfillment in life regardless of their millions, fame and honor. Truly without a relationship with Jesus our maker there is nothing like life in this world and the world after. 

‘When God speaks to us He speaks to our spirit, not our flesh. At 1 kings 18, what Elijah heard in his spirit was completely at odds with what he could see or hear around him. His spirit sensed rain before a drop fell. There's an important lesson here. What He says there will be, is more real than anything that's happening in your circumstances. But be warned, what you hear in your spirit may go against what you hear in your intellect, or what you have in the bank, or what's happening at work, or what's taking place at home, or what's happening in your body. Elijah had to discount all the 'no rain' reports he kept getting' (Bob Gass).

Today God desires to speak to you. He sees your pain and hears your cry. He wants to guide you to a place of peace. Will you pay attention and listen? His word is ‘Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand’ (Isaiah 41:10). If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus, do so by repenting and believing that  He came to die for your sins and you will surely be saved.
