How Does God Speak?
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
John 16:13

Ponder This
How does God speak? How does God reprove? He does so by His Holy Spirit. There have been times when you’ve been driving along in your car, doing dishes, maybe you’ve been out on the football field, or just about to go to sleep, and you feel the Spirit of God speaking to you. When you come to Christ, God speaks to you and you know you’re a sinner, you know you’re doing wrong, you know you need to be saved, and God’s Holy Spirit is gently but strongly speaking to your heart. He spoke to mine when I was a teenage boy, before I came to the Lord Jesus Christ. There’s no way to describe it except that the dear precious Holy Spirit of God was speaking. And if God’s Holy Spirit is speaking to you today, I beg you, I plead with you, listen to the Spirit of God.
- When has the Holy Spirit spoken to you?
- How have you verified the voice of God through His Word? Why is it important that we do?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
