...if so, what did you say?
And, what has He said to you lately?
Also, why do we freak out when we hear others talk about what God has spoken to them about, yet, when we believe He has spoken to us, we act as the privileged child, knowing He has spoken to us, and cast doubt upon others????
Well, I pray all the time, so yes I speak to God.
As far as God speaking to me, he has never spoken audibly to me as he did to Paul on the road to Damascus, but when I read the scriptures I often get convicted for my sins. I can barely read scripture without seeing my sin and asking forgiveness. So, in this way God speaks to me.
And then, sometimes I think about different situations and how I should handle them. I hear fellows joking around at work. They are all nice guys, and it is easy to be drawn into such a conversation. Then I will remember certain scripture like this;
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4
Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
This has always been a bit of a problem with me, I have always been a joker. It is boasting, and boasting is a sin, but folks know me to have a quick wit and I can get folks laughing easily. But over the years I have come to be ashamed of this. I try to remember scripture like this so I do not participate in foolish jesting. It is difficult to witness to folks about Christ if you have acted the fool and worldly on many occasions. So, everyday I pray the Holy Spirit will quickly remind me not to fool around like this. I still fail at times, but not nearly as much as I did when I was younger. Most times I quickly remember this scripture and do not participate in foolish jesting. So, in this way God speaks to me, I hear his scripture.
