One day, probably a decade ago, I asked a Christian friend, in what ways can God speak to you? God talks to me through books but could he also talk to us through a random TikTok post that just pops up on my feed? I came across this book by Joshua Giles called When God Speaks that had some answers.
“God has created so many ways to get through our spirits in order to get His valuable words to us. The more you embrace that God loves you so much that He wants to communicate with you as a friend, the more you will begin to see Him in everything. Matthew 5:8 says, ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ The more your heart is purified, the more you will see and hear God.”
Now here are some he mentions mixed in with some ways I see him. (I starred the ones I experience!)
* The Bible
– Visions
* Dreams
– Impressions on the heart
* Through people you meet
* Imagery (like art)
– Preaching of the Word
* Through signs or wonders
– Nature
* Numbers
* Books
* A whisper
* A thought
* A voice in your heart or mind
– Colors or symbols
* Challenges or life lessons
* Music
* A blog post or a social media post (mainly TikTok or Instagram)
As Joshua Giles says, “God still speaks today, and He wants to speak to you. Because God speaks in various ways, it’s imperative that you don’t limit the ways He wants to speak to you.” That means He can reach us in an infinite number of ways!
How wild and wonderful is that?
