How to Follow the Holy Spirit TODAY! (CONCLUSION)

Some still are not convinced. "Conscience and intuition are one thing. But God actually speaking!? That's going too far! God doesn't still actually speak to people today like He did in the Bible!" If not, then does He communicate at all?! Even through conscience and intuition? Does He really communicate through the Bible to us today? If God communicates, how does He do it? Answered prayer? How do we know? If I hadn't prayed for the job, would I have gotten it anyway? Do you see the problems? Either God communicates in such a way that it's clearly Him, no matter what mode of communication, or He doesn't. By being God, His communication must be supremely unique. We're made in His image and likeness. How do we primarily communicate, assuming everything is as it should be? WORDS! We talk to each other. We listen to each other. Communication assumes words for us, even when we experience conscience or intution. The spiritual feelings we have translate into words--Go or stay. Speak or remain silent. Somehow, we simply and clearly know from the Spirit what she should or should not do. If you're not convinced God speaks, you will be...that is, if you continue to practice faithfulness to your conscience. I'll tell you what. Just focus on conscience. Or intuition if you've moved to that level of relationship with the Spirit. I guarantee you if you continue, you will hear the voice of God, just as surely as babies come to know the voice of their parents. It's just a part of growing us spiritually. It's an inevitability!
