Love your channel. You have to be careful about saying what God can and can’t do! I have heard God speak to me audibly once. It was not a prophecy but directly dealt with my situation. He speaks through his word and also on our thoughts. We need to know the word to determine who is speaking to us.
Agree 100%!!! I get VERY LEARY when folks try to put limits on God when He CLEARLY asked, at least TWICE rhetorically, "is anything too hard for The Lord?!" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Question: Can God CONTRADICT Himself? Yes or No? It is written: Heb 1:1-2 KJB 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Why is this subject so misunderstood? Let me make it plain! In the garden of Eden God did not speak with Eve. The Bible says that God fellowshipped with Adam in the cool of the day. When God gave the command regarding not eating of the tree in the center of the garden, he gave that to Adam! This is the reason it is said that Eve was deceived, (nothing happened when Eve ate off of the tree in deception, because she herself did not hear the command directly from God) but Adam was not deceived, to the contrary, Adam flat out disobeyed what God had directly spoken to him. Adam was the head of Eve, Adam was Eve's covering. God honors headship which is the reason why he spoke to Adam, and it was Adam's responsibility to teach Eve. We are dealing with the same thing today. Hebrews chapter 1 tells us that in time past God spoke at many times, and in variousunto the fathers by the prophets. but hath in these days speaks to us by his son (Jesus Christ) it is easy to understand that God (the Father) does not speak to us at all. We (the body of christ) have a savior and a head, whose named Christ Jesus. The scripture makes it clear that we are under the lordship of Jesus Christ and God the father has given us unto his son Jesus christ. It is Jesus that speaks to some of us in an audible voice just as he did with the apostle Paul while on the road to Damascus. Hebrews chapter 1 plainly says that God speaks to us through his son. Jesus knows the will of the father, Jesus is the head of the church, and it is Jesus that has the ability to speak to any member of the body by whatever means necessary, including in an audible voice.
And why wouldn't he? It is a personal relationship after all, it would pertain to us, I think, if he were to, it would be about us, him, or our situation. I would however doubt or question someone who said for us that they heard and god wants us to know or a new word or a revelation that is outside of scripture. But people want to take it away from those who have heard God directly, not looking for something, simply asking and receiving
I get prompted by the holy spirit. Just prompted. For Instance a person will come to my mind and I am prompted to write them a letter/reach out to them
Why wouldn’t God speak to His children in which ever way He pleases? Isn’t He our Father who created and loves us? So, let me understand this. He can create the whole world and everything in it but it’s impossible for Him to speak audibly to us???🤔. Why do these intellectuals find this so hard to believe?
Anything is possible with God, and there is nothing that God can't do. God communicates with us in many ways, in ways that we couldn't even imagine. He's the Messiah!
@@slimdude2011He can not go off his own script. If he compiled the bible telling us of stories of dreams, visions, tongues, angels, or even using a donkey to speak. And put in in a book for us to read. It does not mean that we are to look for those to continue. Especially when he said were not to add to it by believing in other stuff Rev22:18.
I have heard the Lord speak to me audibly on 2 occasions, in the last 30 years that I’ve been saved, concerning certain things that were happening in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever shared either encounter with anyone because it was for me. I definitely wasn’t expecting audible direction from the Lord but it got my attention for sure.
can God save every single person regardless of belief? can God save people who just try their best to be a good person? can God redeem all the demons and Satan?
@@jalapeno.tabascoFirst of all NO ONE IS GOOD! BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND ARE SINNERS AND HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! THIS IS WHY GOD SENT HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR THE FORGIVENESS AND REMISSION FOR ALL SINS FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE! Those who are SAVED are Those who WANT to be SAVED by GOD'S GRACE through their FAITH in JESUS CHRIST, NOT BY ONES WORKS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ONE CAN DO. JESUS CHRIST DID IT ALL FOR US! WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT TO RECEIVE IT! REPENT, BELIEVE, CONFESS, AND RECEIVE HIM!
@@truthmattersjesusiscoming6460dreams and visions ..the Bible says duhhh…so many ways God speaks. For you to shove the maker of the universe in your tiny little box is blasphemy
How is one lead by the Holy Spirit if it is mute? Doesn’t God speak to us through His word in our spirit and guides in all truth as well as His plans for us. When I speak plans I mean marriage, career, living situation, where to live even… I wouldn’t be where I am today had I not waited to hear from the Lord. He called me to become a firefighter. So I began the path about 5 years ago. I became an EMT (which is required for a firefighter) and graduated school right at the beginning of pandemic. God used me during the pandemic heavily. I knew it was all according to His timing and not my own. Had I not listened to Him I would have been jobless going stir crazy at home, but no. I was blessed by being able to pray over many people and witness. Here I am now even, in a new state going to paramedic school because that’s what he’s leading me to do now. I’ve been blessed by His mighty strength the whole time. It hasn’t been all rainbow and butterflies. It’s been real tough but I know my God and He is the God who speaks. ”To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.“ John 10:3-5 KJV How is the voice heard?… ”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.“ Revelation 3:20 KJV It clearly says hear… ”And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I BESOUGHT THE LORD THRICE, that it might depart from me. And HE SAID unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.“ 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV Paul petitions/prays to the Lord 3 times and THE LORD RESPONDS audibly. So… you’re saying my testimony and many of others who were not witnessed to (via preacher or someone saved) but instead rather heard or had a miraculous encounter with the Lord is not true?…
@@edwardsabibi3203 I apologize. That was not my intention. A typo on my part as for the rest of my comment I refer to Him as “Lord”and “He”. I don’t treat the Holy Spirit as thing, but I see how by one typo one can misinterpret that. I understand it is God’s Spirit, as Jesus refers to Him in John 16:13.
Why is that whenever ppl reference God speaking to them, it is always something they gained like jobs, spouses, money, etc.? If God didn't give you any of that would you say he then doesn't speak?
If God is not speaking to His children today, it isn't because He is lacking in love towards us! Rather, He is ensuring we hold His written word with great esteem. If we were to constantly be expecting a "fresh word" from Him, we would soon be neglecting the word He's already given us.
@@MadzaFilmsI agree with you. The Apostle Paul said th the scripture he wss compelled by the Spirit to got to Jerusalem. Acts 20:22-24. Acts 16:6 They were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. ?? How did the Holy Spirit convey this to them?? The Holy Spirit had to give Paul and them the message in a way that they knew it was him. So what was it a leading or an prompting in their spirit. Feel free to share On this. Shalom.
That was before the bible was completed and compiled. He spoke or used different ways to communicate and put it in the book. But once he got to the end. He said don't add to the bible, Rev22:18. So it became a test for people, the test is are we going to believe in just his word, or are we going to believe also tongues, dreams, visions, angel visitations, voices or whatever outside of just the bible.
Corey, the Lord spoke to me one morning while I was reading the Bible. I had just finished praying, got in bed and was reading my Bible like I constantly do after getting home from work every morning. I am an Intensive Care Unit nurse. I would read until I fall asleep. This particular morning while reading, I heard an audible voice in my room. He said, “Get back on your knees.” I jerked my head out of the Bible and looked around. I thought that I was hearing things and ignored it. I continued to read and about two minutes the same voice spoke again. “Get back on your knees.” This time with more of a command yet gentle. I obeyed! I laid my Bible on the bed beside me and got back on my knees and started praying to Jesus Christ again that morning. Something miraculous happened that morning which extended to a supernatural journey that was beyond my understanding. I had no expectation prior to this of hearing or seeing anything. So, not because you have not experienced it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. God can do anything He pleases. To anyone He pleases. He is God Almighty! 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽
God can do anything? Can God save men by their works if they just try their best? can God forgive everyone's sins and save everyone regardless of belief?
@@jalapeno.tabasco My friend, the Word of God says that we're not saved by our works but by grace, by the person Jesus Christ.. There's no other belief other than believing what Jesus did that we're saved from my friend... May God open your eyes and show you the right way 🙏🙏
@@jamesgorham7125is God's word ever out of context? Just wondering 🤔 I heard someone say that he isn't the word but, no man is greater than his word, and he made the promise. Luke 24:44
I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church. My Pastor preached multiple times that Christians cannot hear the voice of God anymore because we now have the bible. I have so much respect for my Pastor. He was a very good and humble servant of God. But I do believe that God is still willing to talk to us today. The question is are we willing to listen.
Then God really HAS NOT SPOKEN - Hebrews 1: 1-2 - Think about it. Think about this also: Scholars, Doctors of Divinity will tell you that God has over 200 Bibles, and ALL are the word of God. May I ask a question? - Which one? To get you thinking along the RIGHT path, think about this: How many Birth Certificates does any person have? Suppose I gave you 2 Birth Certificates with EVERY DETAIL agreeing except one. On one Certificate it has an Asterisk which says "One Birth Certificate has other information" - What are YOU going to do? Please receive this in the same spirit with which it is sent - Okay?
So what you are saying is the Creator of the universe is willing to speak to us, desires to speak to us just as He did with His prophets of days gone by... but because of some unwillingness on our part, He is not able? Do you have Scriptural support for this belief? Like a passage somewhere the shows God attempting to communicate with someone but His ability to do so was limited by the abilities of His creation? Or is there a reference somewhere that would suggest the prophets had this same need to be taught how to listen to their Creator? Is there one text that demonstrates they were unable to hear what He was attempting to communicate to them until they became willing to listen?
@@bradleymarvel If we are not willing to listen to God, Then why should he say anything at all? Prophets are special people who are willing and obedient, but they're not perfect. Jeremiah was in danger of losing his ability to hear God when he started complaining and continue to doubt. David can hear God's voice. But being in sin prevented him from hearing it. Jonah too was rebellious. Isaiah 59:1-2 says, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear". Psalm 66:18 says, "If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened". Samuel had to learn hearing God's voice when he was a young boy. Eli had to help him understand who's voice was calling him. Sometimes Christians can't hear God's voice because they just simply don't believe or is not aware of it.
@@abcmaya There's no evidence of God, why would anyone be not willing to listen? I'd think everyone on this planet would be absolutely thrilled in listening to God. I can't be saying that it's anyone's fault, so far there is simply nothing to hear, I'd be so happy if that wasn't true & we had something that could be shown to the World & finally we'd get to answer this eternal question. Unfortunately blaming us is just a tired excuse all of the "we're not worthy" & the "we can hear but only if we really really commit ourselves" gets trotted out every time this question comes up.

I don’t know about prophesying. But I have heard God speak directly to me concerning me. 1. Once when I was homeless living between homes of friends and family. I had a strong addiction to cigarettes that got to a terrible time of picking through butts not even mine. I got on my knees and begged God to take the taste away. I heard “Just stop” and I was by myself. I thought no way. But I obeyed and never tasted for cigarettes since 2016. Then it was another time I had been talking with God and asked him a question and I heard words that sounded like scripture and looked it up and it was indeed scripture that I had not heard before. It was in the context of my situation. It is rare but when it happens it is kinda scary and shocking. But the best one was when I was given the time my preemie would be coming home and the doctor thought I was crazy. Said yeah right ok. Three weeks later my daughter was home exactly what was said. So was that Satan or God? Nothing is ever by chance.
The devil is an angel of light. He can portray as a good person doing incredible things thinking it’s of Christ. That’s why I understand why Paul was blind. We are blind walking in darkness the only way to walk the straight path is to carry a candle light and the candle light is the KJV
@@azz2203that’s ridiculous. This man was led into MORE faith and belief in Jesus from these words spoken. Why would Satan come against his own kingdom and lead someone into more faith and closer relationship to God? Edit - my apologies. I do agree with you in general sense and I know that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. But you saying the KJV is the candle was what I was referring to as ridiculous.
We can make a long thread about this but it seems like people here give up or they’re in denial. KJV is from TR which are Greek Scriptures. It is the candle light because the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding. So if the Bible commands us not to lean on our own understanding where are you going to seek guidance? Corey? lol
I was reading His Word when He spoke to me audibly. Seem as though some people need to have a Damascus Road experience in order to believe that God Almighty can do anything!!
God speaks multiple ways. His Word, dreams/visions, prophecy/word of knowledge, personal impression, leading/guiding, other people, etc etc. God has spoken to me in all of these ways.
When the Lord speaks in guidance doesn’t mean it a canonical issues. I think about the word that Agabus shared confirming Paul’s journey to Roman which was previously communicated to Paul by the Holy Spirit. How does one receive wisdom from God when they request it? God speaks in whatever way He wants.
God absolutely speaks!!!! He speaks in many different ways, he can speak audibly, but he never has to me. He speaks today I believe mostly through His Word, he still speaks in visions and dreams, and what I call the Spiritual ear or inner ear, in that still small voice. As we mature as believers we recognize his voice more and more. Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lamb of God, Bless His Holy Name!!!
Yes he's the same God of yesterday, but what people don't see is that he has a program that changes throughout time. And I can tell you once the bible was finished, people were tested. The test was do you believe the bible only, or do you believe he is still giving messages outside the bible. Sadly many have and are failing the test. I just know that I don't want to here him say to me "I never knew".
@@jalapeno.tabasco are you bored and have nothing else you could be doing? Or do you genuinely want to know? I don't think you do, but if this is how you like to spend your time I guess, to each his own. I pray god draws you near to him and helps you to mature and be more loving to others. May you have an encounter with the living god, god bless you friend.
God has spoken to me a number of times in my Spirit apart from Holy Scriptures. Don't put God in a box. Because you have not had such an experience don't think that others have not.
Support that with scripture. Peter said that God has given us everything we need that pertains to life and godliness, so outside this word there's nothing else.
@CCD_106 amos 3 were speaking of the prophets of old. When Jesus came...the Word...He is the Prophet that was to come. There are no prophets (foretelling) today. God has given us everything we need in His word. As for Philippians...the context is that God is working in his people through the power of the Holy Spirit to "do" His will. There is no Word. Do God speaks to us? YES...either through his word, or it will be backed by his word. Hebrew 1:1-2...God in pastimes spoke to us through the prophets. Now he is speaking to us through His Son (the Word). The book of Hebrews talk about how there is no one greater than Jesus. So why would God go back and speak privately to someone to give us the word. Are they greater than Jesus?
@naeembourne2474 I 100% agree that God will never speak/communicate anything that contradicts His Word! However, I would not rule out that there has never been or will be a prophet since Jesus (I take it you're a cessationist) and I know for a fact prophesy is still being given (happened to me personally) and will continue until Jesus returns (Acts 2:17). Is that not God speaking???
who are you to say The AllMighty God doesn't speak audibly . you are a shame to yourself . He speaks to who He pleases whenever He pleases. don't be a Pharasiee
God speaks to us in so many different ways.... Through signs, conveying circumstances, by the holy spirit of God who lives inside of us, absolutely through HIS' word, and audible.....
Signs you can’t be serious right? Your in danger Matthew 16:4 KJV A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas.
God does not use signs show me in scriptures that God will use signs for believers during our timeline. You just can’t say it without backing up scriptures. If you’re going to say something please use scriptures because I understand scriptures of Christ rather than the language of men.
God can speak through his word as well as directly, dreams and through someone. He will give you revelation of his word, some he tells them to speak or do something for someone, and sometimes reveals something that hasn’t yet come to pass
I believe God audibly speaks through the Spirit in us. However, I believe 99% of what comes out the Charismatic movement is voices in their own head, daydreams, their own thoughts, or just straight up lies. (Troy Black is the perfect example of someone who thinks every thought in their head or dream at night is a revelation from God)
Dude, you are too biblically sound and spiritually dead. Are we not spiritual beings made in the image of God according to Genesis? What will be left after they take away the Bibles and all internet access to the scriptures. The Holy Spirit will always keep us close to God even if the Bible is taken away from us.
The closest to actually hearing from God directly is this: whenever I am in desperate need, I ask God for help. The thought that crosses my mind after that is this, "I am." He is helping us even in trials because He works all things together for our Good. Is he helping you?
The bible is the Word of God and Jesus Christ is the Word, so yes the Bible is Jesus and Jesus is the Bible, if you read it wrong it's not Jesus that's wrong, the problem is with you.
How a *calvinist* should approach a person with *his* “gospel”: "Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most likely is that He hates you. I also don't know if He died for you on the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!" Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches. We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.* If God says that he died for everyone, *it means that He died for everyone:* *Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ; *1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *Titus **2:11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know! God speaks! This prophetic WORD still stands 2024! No scriptures that says God discontinued speaking to his people. If he did, prayer would be USELESS. Think about that.🤔
How does one explain the Holy Spirit function? He leads, guides, teaches, comforts, Etc. These functions can't happen without some type of communication with the mind. There are so many decisions we make that are not written down in the word. These decisions are prayed through and we come to a conclusion based upon the word but also the voice or leading of God's spirit. We learn through this action, failing, succeeding if God's voice is in fact leading us.
Justin Peters (and other cessationists) makes a grave mistake in his assessment where he says if God is speaking today, then that word a particular individual receives is just as authoritative as any which has been recorded in holy writ, and is therefore applicable to all. That is not true for the simple fact that we have many examples of prophets and individuals who truly spoke by the Spirit whose utterings were not recorded. They were from God, but not recorded. Not every word that the Spirit has spoken to men has been recorded. What did Saul prophesy? What did the prophets in the school of the prophets prophesy? What did the daughters of Philip prophesy? What did the people in Corinth or any other New Testament church prophesy? What did the believers in Acts 2 prophesy? What did Agabus prophesy before the two words that we have from him, since he was clearly a noted prophet before these words? There was no recording of any of these who were clearly moved by God to speak. They were only intended for those specific people to whom they were directed. Those words were for the people who heard them, not everyone. On the flip side, we could also ask where the third letter (actually the first Paul wrote to them) the Church at Corinth is and where is the letter to the Laodiceans? We know they were written by Paul, but, for reasons unknown to us, God did not preserve them for our knowledge. Certainly, they carried the word of God. But not for our use. Corey did a good job noting this. I just added a little to it. With regard to MacArthur's claim about adding to the Scripture, one would have to claim that they were bringing forth an additional revelation missing from the gospel that they believe is binding on all believers as some necessity. This would be something that we see with the Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses, etc. And, truly, if someone were to try to add to the gospel, let him or her be Anathema (Gal. 6:1-10). However, I personally (yes, I am speaking from experience, because it fits here), have never heard anyone claim anything like that anywhere. Obviously, it doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but if it did, they were mistaken and need correction. Another point to the fact of those who do not have access to a bible. Corey mentioned those who have restrict access because of where they may live etc, but there is also the fact that untold millions do not have a bible in their own language. In our day, much great work has been done to make the Bible available in thousands of languages, but there are still many who do not have one in their language. The Bible in English is widely available today, but that was not true only 500 years ago. So for 1,500 years no Bible en masse for English speakers either. More to my point is the fact of illiteracy. The Bible may be available and accessible, but millions cannot read. It is amazing that people do not seem to recognize these well-known facts. We must always use caution with Spirit guidance, as the Apostle Paul expressed, "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good." God's written word is given to us to judge the things that we believe to have received. Anything spoken must line up with the character of God revealed in His holy word.
I am kinda charismatic(though I listen to Corey a little too much😂). I believe God speaks but I am extremely cautious. So, I guess I agree with Corey again.
It is true God's word and instructions are found in the Bible. You're also right Corey in that we can go to two extremes and neither are good. (One, God speaks to us and we throw away the Bible, or two, we make the Bible to be God) For many cessationists, I believe they treat the Bible as if it is God. We also see it within those who practice Judaism. We see them dancing with Torah scrolls and having it locked away in displays. God's ways are contained in Scripture, and we have to study to show ourselves approved. You have to mull over the scriptures and ask questions. Like a cow grazing on and chewing the cud. We have to chew the scriptures, swallow it, regurgitate, and chew on it again. This is what familiarize us to God's ways. When we have a firm understanding of who God is, the Holy Spirit will lead us according to what we've hidden in our hearts. Interestingly enough, the "canon" of scripture has always been incomplete. We know there are lost books that OT scripture makes mention of, and they rise those lost books to the same level of authority. We know Jude and Peter makes mention of Enoch 1. Paul makes mention of sayings of Jesus that aren't recorded in the Gospels, such as the saying of it being more blessed to give than to receive. Yet the 66 books we do have, we as Christians share it in common. The true canon God cares about, is what He Himself is writing on our hearts. We then become living epistles to the world. So for the two extremes surrounding this, they are both wrong. We have to rightly divide scripture, and hide it in our hearts. God leads us from there.
Roman’s says creation speaks of Him in chapters 1-2. He speaks through His word. He leads us via the conscience He gave us. He gives us discernment to tell if things are of Him or not. He said we would have dreams and visions. I know He has spoken to people audibly in the Bible, but has not yet spoken to me audibly. I do not expect it nor do I say it could never happen. He is God and He does what should be done. I do not put expectations on Him nor do I limit Him. “Lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Where we have to be very careful is in telling others we know what Gods is saying to them.
The Lord spoke to me directly only once and through signs many times in the beginning of my salvation. He called me to be a “foregoer”. That was the word I heard after I cried out to Him asking Him /begging Him to speak to me to give me direction. He called me to be an evangelist. Foregoer is another word for forerunner or messenger. Noun. foregoer (plural foregoers) Alternative form of forgoer. (historical) A purveyor of the king, When I looked into the Greek to see where this was used I found the word “foregoer” was used and found the word presbeuo in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 and Ephesians 6:20. God is good and will speak to you if you are called and you seek Him with all your heart. Praise the Lord!!!
Well Corey, I know a person who has no shame in telling everyone on every visit that God spoke to them on various issues. It usually happens when they don't want anyone to oppose or reject their statement. Some folk hear more from God than Moses, Job and everyone else in the bible. You can't tell them anything. And don't get me started on those who claim they are prophets........
Many people with a UA-cam channel say God speaks to them in a dream. The problem is what God tells them. It is usually material related information which i am certain God would not be bothered with this. Everytime Mary and Jesus have appeared to people, it is about salvation.
I was born and raised Muslim and had never read the Bible before. I had people prophesy to me that Christ wanted me and I would become a preacher. I remember always arguing and debating them. July 15, 2015, I lay in bed with tears and called out to Christ Jesus. As clear as day, I heard a voice repeat these words to me, “new creature” time and time again (2 Cor 5:17). I didn’t even know what they meant. That night, I had a dream where a woman approached me, called me ‘Pastor’ and asked me to pray for her. Afterwards, I had subsequent visions including one of my Muslim father praying in a mosque asking me to return; something he later admitted to. While Charismatics take things too far, Cessationists do the same, but in the opposite direction by denying God’s power. Shalom!
Cessationists don’t deny God’s power. They don’t deny exceptional miracles. They deny that it is God’s will to give out spiritual gifts that serve as signs when the prophetic meaning of the signs was fulfilled long ago. For example, God might heal someone, but that’s not the same as giving a man the ability to go around healing people. And giving you a dream is not the same as giving you the ability to continue dreaming prophetically.
@@Nehemiah810 Thanks. I implied an important distinction but wasn’t clear. Cessationists also believe in non-sign spiritual gifts. Teaching, hospitality, discernment, administration, evangelism, giving, showing mercy (helping people, such as fixing a faucet or car, or making a meal for someone who’s injured) are spiritual gifts for all time. Here’s something I’ve never heard anyone point out: 1 Corinthians 12 has an interesting study on the division of labor within the Trinity and in the church. God assigns roles and the Spirit equips accordingly. The Son leads the campaigns. Sometime, make three columns labeled Father, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Then go through that chapter and list what each Person does, with the verses.
People who claim to speak for God when they're just making stuff up must repent or else they are doomed no false prophet goes to heaven. They must repent.
My Bible says that god is alive! I don’t serve a deaf dumb and mute god … it’s sad that so many people think Satan speaks, moves interferes, hears, influences, controls etc but GOD is just sitting there like the three monkeys?!? Sounds bloody blasphemous!
I had a dream after I first got saved....and in the dream I was laying on my stomach in a desert place. I tried to stand up, but could not...no matter how hard I tried, I could not stand to my feet. I felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me, "Be humble". When I let go and submitted....grass began to grow, and trees began to sprout...the sky turned a beautiful blue and birds were chirping and flying and I was able to stand up and then I awoken from the dream. God is good. Jesus promised us the Comforter when he ascended....the word "Comforter" is akin to the greek word "Paraciete" which is "He who walks alongside to help". The Holy Spirit is the seal who guides us and impresses upon us to do His will, who walks alongside us to help.
You can have three different ministers interpreting the same piece of scripture in three different ways. One of the Holy Spirit's jobs is to lead you to the truth. The Lord speaks through scripture but he has supplementary ways of guiding and speaking to you. Audibly is one way especially if he needs to immediately get your attention.
I really wonder what Justin Peters and John MacAuthor prayer life is like. I feel like they serve a God who is very distant. They seem to depise people who have or seek a close relationship with God.
Well, why even pray? Prayer in and of itself is a complete contradiction of their belief that god doesn’t speak, answer, guide, lead, teach, instruct etc etc.. It makes no sense.. not biblically or logically
Bro I just want to take the time to say thank you! Your videos are always very insightful and what I love best of all is that you always back it up with scripture you are now my favorite channel on UA-cam and I thank you sir, for your integrity to the gospel and for your boldness to call out anything that goes against it. Many blessings and prayers for you brother. Continue doing what you’re doing. I always look forward to any new video drop. I listen to it while I’m at work delivering. Love you, man. Thank you and I appreciate you. Blessings from Cali!
I would kinda agree, but the Prodigal Son parable did deal with The Lord restoring a lost son in status and resources. So I would say material/tangible requests are more a heart issue, in that what you ask for is less important than the motivation behind it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CCD, The prodigal son was restored in relationship to his father, where he lived under the status and blessings from his father. As he had spent his inheritance, he only had what the Father blessed him with, it wasn't his.
@judithmargret5972 If gifting doesn’t allow us to count stuff as "ours", then nothing is truly ours as James 1:17 tells use where all good & perfect gifts come from...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 I didn't say that. I only said the prodigal son had nothing left of his own, he depended totally on his father's love and grace Exactly like we do.
I believe God speaks to us through scripture and through prayer. The issue is some people say God spoke to them and they exposit the scriptures properly
God speaks audibly. It tells me a lot about these ministers who say God don't speak audibly. Maybe, the Lord don't speak to them audibly. Once you have had a walking and talking relationship with the Lord, you know his voice. If you hear more than one voice. You can ask the Lord to salience the voice that is not his. I first heard the Lord speak to me in an audible voice by in 1974. I was in a life and death situation. After He saved my life, we talked for the rest of the night. I would wake up each day for next weeks, in the morning and start the conversation with the Lord. Sometimes, the conversations was not about anything serious, I just love talking to him. He was not only my God but my best friend, I did not suppose to be alive. From that day to now, I can hear him. Even in my life when I started to drifted back in to the world, I could still hear him talking to me. He never gave up on me and he never stop talking to me. Sometimes, when I hear a minister who speaks so well and knowledgeable say something like, God don't talk audibly, to me, it exposes them as a fraud. Just say you don't know if he speaks audibly I will have more respect for that.
Cory, I understand the point that you are making, but I. Also, understand the point that justin i's making. I'm not absolutely sure of your point that God may speak to us regarding ourselves and not for everyone. I still would think we would be able to confirm His speaking to us personly though His Word, but I will go with that for now. I think what justin is speaking about are these people going around and openly saying God said God said God said. Other believers have no way of knowing if what they speak is true if we have nothing to judge it by. That is why we must be strict advocates of the Word of God. I was caught up in the word of faith movement, and I almost lost my eternal life,had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of God. Love you, brother Cory. Thanks for all you do
I also want to say who decided these books are canon, the law of YAH is written in our hearts and minds no one is unreachable because HE has access to every one of HIS creation, that’s why HE says when you hear his voice harden not your heart
In KJV - Genesis 2 : 16 God Warned Adam Before Eve Was Formed... As For KJV - Genesis 3 : 3 Adam Told Eve What God Said, Adam Added "Do Not Touch It" How Do I Know? Because. I Believe The Holy Spirit. If You Have Ears. Please Hear! Amen!
Can you do a video on how God leds and communicate with individuals believers. Im not a person who trying to preach or what ever but i just want to have a relationship with Christ but now im confuse about how he speaks or if he speaks
People don't know the Bible... and they think that God speaks to them... 🙈 ...it is their imaginary "god". The Holy Spirit can lead us, convince us to make various changes,... I believe this can be interpreted as the voice of God. He can also send us another person, whom he will use to speak to us... I believe in this "voice" of God.
does god speak to us with the scripture? or does he teach us thru the scriptures? ... god use the scriptures so you may learn about him and about his son ... Matt 16:6 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ( the religious leaders in those days ) Matt 16:12 (KJV) Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. but this is the doctrine of christ ... Matt 16:16-19 (KJV) And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "and upon that rock ( doctrine) he will build his church ( his people ) Matt 17:5 (KJV) While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. do you hear him? ... he is the son of the living god ... he is the christ that god sent ... the firstborn of every creature ... the beginning of the creation of god ... the light that came into the world ... the word that was manifested in him ... he is our brother if we do the will of the father ... did he teach that he was god? or did he teach that he was the christ? ... did he taught that the commandments was the eternal life? ... John 12:48-50 (KJV) He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words ( rhema ) , hath one that judgeth him: the word ( logos ) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his ( God ) commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. but what do the Pharisees teach in these days ... doctrines of men ... the same as in the past when jesus was on earth ... listen to jesus and not men who think they know god but all they know is about god ... maybe they heard god or maybe they didn't but one thing i do know is that churches are not doing the will of god ... And I know that his ( God ) commandment is life everlasting: ... it is how you receive the mercy of god ... what is not in scripture then men added into scripture by their doctrine ... those who are not found in the book of life will be in the lake of fire ... Rev 20:15 (KJV) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev 3:5 (KJV) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 22:14 (KJV) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. do that sound like osos? ... do jesus or anyone of his disciple talk about the trinity? ...or oneness ... or jesus being god ... be careful by not serving the father and having another god alone side him because one is god and the other is christ who god anointed ... and when all is fulfill then christ will be subject to god ... 1Cor 15:28 (KJV) And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Well shared Brother: What some Christians don't realize is this: The Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word, while The Bible is the written word - They HAVE NEVER, currently DO NOT, nor will they ever CONTRADICT each other. If he has spoken (past tense), then he is NO LONGER speaking. We are calling God a Liar.
I believe it's very simple as Corey said, if God is speaking to you, you WON'T OR CAN'T miss it. He is the great I AM and if he says something you will hear. I believe the same applies to leading. If God is leading me in the sense this is exactly what he wants me to do, I won't miss it. Does God still speak audibly today, I can't find a single reference in the Bible that says he stopped. In my experience as well, living in a Muslim country, you hear people saying that Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me and they converted. Some I know 20 or 30 years ago and are still sound believers. But back to Corey's comment, this was never the norm and it's not today. Simply put, if you are not sure it's God, it's not. Nowhere in the Bible did people miss God when he spoke. He won't let you miss it.
I totally agree with you, but one thing that gets under my skin is the leaving out of The Third Person of The Godhead, The Holy Spirit! (John 16:7) Jesus said its expedient for you that I go away, if I don't go the Advocate will not come to you. ."The Holy Spirit is moving in this time, and yet His Name is rarely mentioned! It saddens me to see the pulpit not teach warnings and the MEAT of The Word. I believe The Spirit of Truth guides us into all Truth, even revealing the sins within our hearts and minds. I'm leery of a voice and i question thoughts and words according to the Bible, but the scripture i use is "by 2 or 3 witnesses let every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1) like you said, "In the multitude of counselors, there's safety" (Proverbs 11:14) I don't trust people that I don't know and for some reason, black folks believe everything some guy says, without ever writing it down,. I've caught more liars saying somebody gonna get a check for a certain amount and never get it, it makes me sick! We're not taught to question anything, nor study to see if its so! Please keep teaching, I feel alone out here! Shalom Be in You!
When I read (2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of Gid may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.) I understand it as “All scripture.... throughly furnishes” & that means that we do not need any other “words from God”. And since all scripture is the living Word of God & it is Christ, & it cannot lie & will not lie, then anyone claiming that God is speaking to them & giving them new prophetic words or new revelations, outside of what is already written in scripture, then that person has to be the liar, because again, the living Word of God, the Bible, does not & cannot lie.
The Bible tells us that the heart (which actually means subconscious, emotions, biases, promptings, etc) are wicked and deceiving. When we receive salvation, we don’t cease to live in our fleshly bodies. The best that any of us can do is a “maybe it came from God” when it comes to thoughts that pop into our head or internal promptings. No how how “Godly” they may seem. No matter how “supernatural” they may feel. This idea of a “relationship” with Jesus (meaning him speaking to us through thoughts or promptings) is found NO where in scripture. And God speaking to humans through an actual audible voice is very RARE in scripture.
So when God speaks you will understand always? Hmmm 🤔 Job 33:14-33 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In 1 Samuel 3 God called Samuel audibly three times and he didn’t know it was God lol. . At this point know the scriptures for yourselves. Well intended ppl will have you all over the place.
19:52 I don’t understand that. Could someone explain how “..you’re saying that God is not just speaking to you, but to everyone else. We all should be hearing what’s happening…If God is speaking to you, he should be speaking to me.” I don’t understand how this could be true. So when Jesus spoke directly to Saul because he was persecuting Christians, does that mean “everyone” needed to hear this and also it was also true for everyone else? Obviously not. In Acts 9 God spoke to Ananias in a vision and led him. Should there have been thousands of believers taking Ananias’ path because he was speaking to everyone? Someone, if you’re willing, please explain this.
Luke 24:30-35 Over spiritualizing the voice of God is dangerous. Jesus taught and revealed Himself to the disciples by what Moses and the prophets taught. How I hear Him and know Him. The scriptures all God's Word which i can't contain is enough. In the fear of God i don't listen and agree with myself and think the Lord somehow agrees with me. Nope He knows what my heart was and is. And is being conformed too. I don't trust the law of sin in my memebers. Romans 7 tells me Christ will free me from this body of death, so i must study and let the Word of the Lord dwell in me richly growing i. The grace and wisdom and knowledge of God. People who disagree have formed their own relationship with a god, more than likely themselves and need to repent, in the most loving way repent and let God's Word and the right interpretation be enough. Through Christ alone in His death burial and resurrection do we even know Him so it starts and ends with Him.
What is amazing is that the book of Revelation in which Rev 22:18 is there, was written by the last Apostle alive then, John. Coincidence- perhaps, but I think it is God's amazing design.
Hello, have you done a study on Ellen G. White and the Seventh Day adventist church? Doesn't the Great Controversy prove that she did hear from God? I'm asking because I'm new to SDA
Justin Peter's could not hear God speak to his heart because he's a doubter,like he says of these folks he doesn't believe God doesn't speak to our hearts only through scripture,I'm sure God speaks to my heart,cause it would sure be a dry and lonesome relationship,that's like saying I have relationship with my wife,but we don't talk.Justin Peter's overthinks and basically can't hear from God.Poor Poor Justin,keep your doubt fear and unbelief to your self Justin.
Why is this subject so misunderstood? Let me make it plain! In the garden of Eden God did not speak with Eve. The Bible says that God fellowshipped with Adam in the cool of the day. When God gave the command regarding not eating of the tree in the center of the garden, he gave that to Adam! This is the reason it is said that Eve was deceived, (nothing happened when Eve ate off of the tree in deception, because she herself did not hear the command directly from God) but Adam was not deceived, to the contrary, Adam flat out disobeyed what God had directly spoken to him. Adam was the head of Eve, Adam was Eve's covering. God honors headship which is the reason why he spoke to Adam, and it was Adam's responsibility to teach Eve. We are dealing with the same thing today. Hebrews chapter 1 tells us that in time past God spoke at many times, and in variousunto the fathers by the prophets. but hath in these days speaks to us by his son (Jesus Christ) it is easy to understand that God (the Father) does not speak to us at all. We (the body of christ) have a savior and a head, whose named Christ Jesus. The scripture makes it clear that we are under the lordship of Jesus Christ and God the father has given us unto his son Jesus christ. It is Jesus that speaks to some of us in an audible voice just as he did with the apostle Paul while on the road to Damascus. Hebrews chapter 1 plainly says that God speaks to us through his son. Jesus knows the will of the father, Jesus is the head of the church, and it is Jesus that has the ability to speak to any member of the body by whatever means necessary, including in an audible voice. So in conclusion Hebrews chapter 1 is correct when in concluding that God (the Father) does not speaks to us in an auditable voice. But it is clear, as evidenced by Paul's experience on the road to damascus, that Jesus does indeed speak to us in an audible voice. This is further confirmed where in Jesus himself said my sheep know my VOICE, and a stranger they will not follow
That IS what John said. If you add to or take away, and you claim this as some kind of divine revelation from God, then yes I believe that carries the heaviest of penalties because of how many will be led astray potentially by this. And look how many false “prophets” and “apostles” now, the verses that talks about this, the influx of false prophets in the last days, was our warning. Do NOT do this
The holy spirit reveals the divine thing of God. He the spirit teaches, and he guide us into all truth. Hebrew 5 v 12/13/ verse 14 you can only understand how divine things are revealed. You can only receive what is given to you from heaven. John 6v44 many of us were not draws .
What I found troubling is that what Priscilla said can at worst be said to 'need nuance or clarification'. What JP AND JM said was completely wrong and unbiblical but guess who is the false teacher?
Of course he speaks , I pray and ask God questions and he answers as long as I abide in him. No it is not auidble ,but u just know. U check it with God character and the word . He is a living God ! I also know my own words or my own desires .it is hard sometimes
How God spoke to the people through the Son before the Bible were through the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. He spoke to us through what He spoke to the apostles. Jesus said unto His disciples to teach everyone what they've heard from Him. So in the context of God speaking to us through His Son is the message of Jesus Christ and His teachings. But God does speak to us personally as well because He spoke to the apostles and other early Christians personally. He had spoken to me, not audibly but, through dreams in a prophetic way. Through dreams He also gave warnings unto me. He had spoken to my mother with a very loud voice more than once and also to my younger brother. And what was said were more personal but always aligned with scripture. And what was prophetically revealed always came to pass. And what was said were always right and just. So God do speak to us not just in the ways I've mentioned but in a lot more ways.
I found myself pregnant 36 years ago. My ex-husband was horribly abusive. I didnt want to continue with the pregnant. Id scheduled abortions but each time on the night before the procedure, I dreamed of my baby. I saw her face and i couldn't go through with the abortion. When she was born, I was in shock at the fact that she was the baby Id seen in my dreams. I saw her face
Naw we don't have to give Eve the benefit of the doubt as it relates to her conversation with the enemy in the garden. What it suggests to me is that Eve was in error and not sin in the traditional sense as it relates to rebellion. Eve should have differed to her husband who was her Spiritual covering and he ,meaning Adam should have deferred to GOD. They should've worked from the Spiritual starting With GOD and back to the physical. Instead they started with the physical and tried to work backwards to the spiritual. This has always been a tactic of the adversary.
Sorry yall. Reading God's word did not help me when my cat was lost. I took my cat out for a walk one day hoping it might cure her from her extreme fear of others. As we got on the elevator of my apartment building and when a neighbor got on with us, it scared my cat. She clung to me by digging her claws into me. She was unable to hold on on and when she fell, she ran off. Id raised this cat since she was 3 weeks old and ess quite bonded to her. She'd been lost for about a month when I had a dream that my cat was found in the underground parking structure and I lived. Soon after, I ran into a neighbor who harshly reprimanded me for bringing my cat outdoors. I was able to tell her that God sent me a dream showing me my cat would be found in our understanding parking garage and that She'd be with me when Antigone Rose was found. Carol made it a point to tell me that there was no God. Another month passed by and I began to lose faith when a neighbor knocked on my door saying she thought she saw my cat in the underground parking structure where we lived. I immediately ran down to the parking garage and low and behold, my cat was there. About a minute later, Carol just happened to walk through the parking garage. So yep. God does speak to us not always through scripture.
John MacArthur and Justin Peters are spiritually blind. You cannot even get saved unless God speaks to you and draws you to himself. God reproves and rebukes those he loves. How do you think a reproves and rebukes you if he doesn't speak to you. I feel very sorry for people that do not believe it all that God cannot speak to you today after all aren't you his child.
People I know who were raised in families where "God spoke" to their parents have said that it was a cop out for sin -getting in debt, doing what they wanted to do and justifying it with "It was the Lord's idea." We have seen it first hand, too, where people have said that God told them to do something that contradicted His Word and they got mad when told that God would not tell you to do something that contradicted His own Word. We even had one who said he couldn't leave where he was until God told him to. I guess "God spoke" when the homeowner said he had to start paying rent if he didn't leave. There is so much in scripture that we could read it hundreds of times and learn something new every day. We have all that we need. If we don't listen to what He has already told us, why would we be so arrogant to think He is going to tell us something extra and special to us? Another observation is that those who say God spoke to them are the ones who rarely, if ever, open their Bibles and study scripture. I heard a "pastor" once who shared all that "God told" him just that morning before he got up to speak and never used one word from scripture. No thank you. The Bible says, "Study to show thyself approved, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly deciding the Word of Truth."
I find it curious that though you don't agree with JP on his wrong ascertion that if God says something then it should be equivalent to scripture - you don't 'call him out as a false teacher'. JP has builtany wrong teachings on this basis yet he is still one of the 'good guys'. I wonder what would happen of the same grace was extended to people of other theological persuasions🤔
jesus teaches us in st,John 14,chap verse6 l am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father, but by me,it takes 1st, obedience to the teachings of the gospel, the father gave us through his son to be purged by the father, to come to know him,the father is not going to reveal himself to no one who don't follow the gospels jesus said also in st,John 15chap l am the..true vine and my father is the husbandman,every branch (those that have repented and obey what he preached )in me that. don't bring forth fruit he(his father)taketh away ,but every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth (cleans it)that it may bring forth much fruit,now your are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you (he.preached the gospel ,and it was through the gospels and years of abiding in them, jesus revealed his father unto me, and l am a witness he only makes himself known through his son, Paul also a witness, told us in hebrews 1st chapter, God who in sundry time's and divers manners,spake to the fathers by the prophets, and in these last days spoken unto us by his son, if you want to know the father, you must lst obey the son.
Do they really think they are that important that God will contradict all that he said in scripture about listening to the apostles? God made it impossible to lie on Him. That is why he took, tongues, prophesying, and miracles away because these things a easy to fake. Not meaning He can't do these things, but why would he do these things when He wants Believers to believe by unseen faith.
Corey, I’ve noticed a difference in your presentation. There is more grace. I think the conversation that you had with Pagani and the others was good for you. It’s seems you’ve taken in what was said.
Love your channel. You have to be careful about saying what God can and can’t do! I have heard God speak to me audibly once. It was not a prophecy but directly dealt with my situation. He speaks through his word and also on our thoughts. We need to know the word to determine who is speaking to us.
Agree 100%!!! I get VERY LEARY when folks try to put limits on God when He CLEARLY asked, at least TWICE rhetorically, "is anything too hard for The Lord?!" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Question: Can God CONTRADICT Himself? Yes or No?
It is written:
Heb 1:1-2 KJB
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

And why wouldn't he? It is a personal relationship after all, it would pertain to us, I think, if he were to, it would be about us, him, or our situation. I would however doubt or question someone who said for us that they heard and god wants us to know or a new word or a revelation that is outside of scripture. But people want to take it away from those who have heard God directly, not looking for something, simply asking and receiving
Brother this is great teaching. Wow so blessed to watch your content. 🙌🏿🙏🏾
I get prompted by the holy spirit. Just prompted. For Instance a person will come to my mind and I am prompted to write them a letter/reach out to them
Why wouldn’t God speak to His children in which ever way He pleases?
Isn’t He our Father who created and loves us?
So, let me understand this. He can create the whole world and everything in it but it’s impossible for Him to speak audibly to us???🤔. Why do these intellectuals find this so hard to believe?
Anything is possible with God, and there is nothing that God can't do. God communicates with us in many ways, in ways that we couldn't even imagine. He's the Messiah!
@@slimdude2011He can not go off his own script. If he compiled the bible telling us of stories of dreams, visions, tongues, angels, or even using a donkey to speak. And put in in a book for us to read. It does not mean that we are to look for those to continue. Especially when he said were not to add to it by believing in other stuff Rev22:18.
Discernment goes a long way in THIS aspect. THIS is why we need to seek Godly counseling through His Word instead of some random person.
Speaking of Discernment, God also uses "people"!
I have heard the Lord speak to me audibly on 2 occasions, in the last 30 years that I’ve been saved, concerning certain things that were happening in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever shared either encounter with anyone because it was for me. I definitely wasn’t expecting audible direction from the Lord but it got my attention for sure.
God speaks today!! To think he doesn't puts our infinite God into a box of our finite
can God save every single person regardless of belief?
can God save people who just try their best to be a good person?
can God redeem all the demons and Satan?
@@jalapeno.tabascoFirst of all NO ONE IS GOOD! BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND ARE SINNERS AND HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD! THIS IS WHY GOD SENT HIS SON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST TO DIE FOR THE FORGIVENESS AND REMISSION FOR ALL SINS FOR ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE!
Those who are SAVED are Those who WANT to be SAVED by GOD'S GRACE through their FAITH in JESUS CHRIST, NOT BY ONES WORKS BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ONE CAN DO. JESUS CHRIST DID IT ALL FOR US! WE JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE IT TO RECEIVE IT! REPENT, BELIEVE, CONFESS, AND RECEIVE HIM!
He speaks through his word. You don't hear him in an audible voice.
@@truthmattersjesusiscoming6460 I don't but I do hear him through others, through nature, through prayer, patterns and more

How is one lead by the Holy Spirit if it is mute? Doesn’t God speak to us through His word in our spirit and guides in all truth as well as His plans for us. When I speak plans I mean marriage, career, living situation, where to live even… I wouldn’t be where I am today had I not waited to hear from the Lord. He called me to become a firefighter. So I began the path about 5 years ago. I became an EMT (which is required for a firefighter) and graduated school right at the beginning of pandemic. God used me during the pandemic heavily. I knew it was all according to His timing and not my own. Had I not listened to Him I would have been jobless going stir crazy at home, but no. I was blessed by being able to pray over many people and witness. Here I am now even, in a new state going to paramedic school because that’s what he’s leading me to do now. I’ve been blessed by His mighty strength the whole time. It hasn’t been all rainbow and butterflies. It’s been real tough but I know my God and He is the God who speaks.
”To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.“
John 10:3-5 KJV
How is the voice heard?…
”Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.“
Revelation 3:20 KJV
It clearly says hear…
”And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I BESOUGHT THE LORD THRICE, that it might depart from me. And HE SAID unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.“
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 KJV
Paul petitions/prays to the Lord 3 times and THE LORD RESPONDS audibly.
So… you’re saying my testimony and many of others who were not witnessed to (via preacher or someone saved) but instead rather heard or had a miraculous encounter with the Lord is not true?…
Why are you treating the Holy Spirit like he was a thing, "...it is mute"?
@@edwardsabibi3203 I apologize. That was not my intention. A typo on my part as for the rest of my comment I refer to Him as “Lord”and “He”. I don’t treat the Holy Spirit as thing, but I see how by one typo one can misinterpret that. I understand it is God’s Spirit, as Jesus refers to Him in John 16:13.
Why is that whenever ppl reference God speaking to them, it is always something they gained like jobs, spouses, money, etc.? If God didn't give you any of that would you say he then doesn't speak?
If you know his word you know his will for you, you don’t need to be looking to hear an audible voice.
@@Cesar-pq2ck Totally!
If God is not speaking to His children today, it isn't because He is lacking in love towards us! Rather, He is ensuring we hold His written word with great esteem. If we were to constantly be expecting a "fresh word" from Him, we would soon be neglecting the word He's already given us.
Well... People are going to reject the word regardless. It's human nature. God does indeed speak today but He never contridicts Himself.
@@MadzaFilmsI agree with you. The Apostle Paul said th the scripture he wss compelled by the Spirit to got to Jerusalem. Acts 20:22-24.
Acts 16:6 They were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
?? How did the Holy Spirit convey this to them?? The Holy Spirit had to give Paul and them the message in a
way that they knew it was him. So what was it a leading or an prompting in their spirit. Feel free to share
On this. Shalom.
That was before the bible was completed and compiled. He spoke or used different ways to communicate and put it in the book. But once he got to the end. He said don't add to the bible, Rev22:18. So it became a test for people, the test is are we going to believe in just his word, or are we going to believe also tongues, dreams, visions, angel visitations, voices or whatever outside of just the bible.
Corey, the Lord spoke to me one morning while I was reading the Bible. I had just finished praying, got in bed and was reading my Bible like I constantly do after getting home from work every morning. I am an Intensive Care Unit nurse. I would read until I fall asleep.
This particular morning while reading, I heard an audible voice in my room. He said, “Get back on your knees.”
I jerked my head out of the Bible and looked around. I thought that I was hearing things and ignored it.
I continued to read and about two minutes the same voice spoke again. “Get back on your knees.” This time with more of a command yet gentle.
I obeyed! I laid my Bible on the bed beside me and got back on my knees and started praying to Jesus Christ again that morning.
Something miraculous happened that morning which extended to a supernatural journey that was beyond my understanding.
I had no expectation prior to this of hearing or seeing anything.
So, not because you have not experienced it doesn’t mean it can’t happen. God can do anything He pleases. To anyone He pleases. He is God Almighty!

I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church.
My Pastor preached multiple times that Christians cannot hear the voice of God anymore because we now have the bible.
I have so much respect for my Pastor. He was a very good and humble servant of God.
But I do believe that God is still willing to talk to us today.
The question is are we willing to listen.
Then God really HAS NOT SPOKEN - Hebrews 1: 1-2 - Think about it.
Think about this also: Scholars, Doctors of Divinity will tell you that God has over 200 Bibles, and ALL are the word of God. May I ask a question? - Which one? To get you thinking along the RIGHT path, think about this: How many Birth Certificates does any person have? Suppose I gave you 2 Birth Certificates with EVERY DETAIL agreeing except one. On one Certificate it has an Asterisk which says "One Birth Certificate has other information" - What are YOU going to do? Please receive this in the same spirit with which it is sent - Okay?
So what you are saying is the Creator of the universe is willing to speak to us, desires to speak to us just as He did with His prophets of days gone by... but because of some unwillingness on our part, He is not able? Do you have Scriptural support for this belief? Like a passage somewhere the shows God attempting to communicate with someone but His ability to do so was limited by the abilities of His creation? Or is there a reference somewhere that would suggest the prophets had this same need to be taught how to listen to their Creator? Is there one text that demonstrates they were unable to hear what He was attempting to communicate to them until they became willing to listen?
@@bradleymarvel
If we are not willing to listen to God, Then why should he say anything at all?
Prophets are special people who are willing and obedient, but they're not perfect.
Jeremiah was in danger of losing his ability to hear God when he started complaining and continue to doubt.
David can hear God's voice. But being in sin prevented him from hearing it.
Jonah too was rebellious.
Isaiah 59:1-2 says, "Your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear".
Psalm 66:18 says, "If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened".
Samuel had to learn hearing God's voice when he was a young boy.
Eli had to help him understand who's voice was calling him.
Sometimes Christians can't hear God's voice because they just simply don't believe or is not aware of it.
@@abcmaya There's no evidence of God, why would anyone be not willing to listen? I'd think everyone on this planet would be absolutely thrilled in listening to God.

Unfortunately blaming us is just a tired excuse all of the "we're not worthy" & the "we can hear but only if we really really commit ourselves" gets trotted out every time this question comes up.

I don’t know about prophesying. But I have heard God speak directly to me concerning me. 1. Once when I was homeless living between homes of friends and family. I had a strong addiction to cigarettes that got to a terrible time of picking through butts not even mine. I got on my knees and begged God to take the taste away. I heard “Just stop” and I was by myself. I thought no way. But I obeyed and never tasted for cigarettes since 2016. Then it was another time I had been talking with God and asked him a question and I heard words that sounded like scripture and looked it up and it was indeed scripture that I had not heard before. It was in the context of my situation. It is rare but when it happens it is kinda scary and shocking. But the best one was when I was given the time my preemie would be coming home and the doctor thought I was crazy. Said yeah right ok. Three weeks later my daughter was home exactly what was said. So was that Satan or God? Nothing is ever by chance.
The devil is an angel of light. He can portray as a good person doing incredible things thinking it’s of Christ. That’s why I understand why Paul was blind. We are blind walking in darkness the only way to walk the straight path is to carry a candle light and the candle light is the KJV
@@azz2203that’s ridiculous. This man was led into MORE faith and belief in Jesus from these words spoken. Why would Satan come against his own kingdom and lead someone into more faith and closer relationship to God?
Edit - my apologies. I do agree with you in general sense and I know that Satan can masquerade as an angel of light. But you saying the KJV is the candle was what I was referring to as ridiculous.
We can make a long thread about this but it seems like people here give up or they’re in denial. KJV is from TR which are Greek Scriptures. It is the candle light because the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding. So if the Bible commands us not to lean on our own understanding where are you going to seek guidance? Corey? lol
I think Justin peters said it best. If you want to hear God, read his word. If you want to hear him audibly, read his word out loud.

@@claudettecampbell410 and what did He tell you audibly?
God speaks multiple ways. His Word, dreams/visions, prophecy/word of knowledge, personal impression, leading/guiding, other people, etc etc. God has spoken to me in all of these ways.
When the Lord speaks in guidance doesn’t mean it a canonical issues. I think about the word that Agabus shared confirming Paul’s journey to Roman which was previously communicated to Paul by the Holy Spirit. How does one receive wisdom from God when they request it? God speaks in whatever way He wants.
GOOD stuff "God does not attempt to speak to anyone. " great content, solid word! God bless you brother.
God absolutely speaks!!!! He speaks in many different ways, he can speak audibly, but he never has to me. He speaks today I believe mostly through His Word, he still speaks in visions and dreams, and what I call the Spiritual ear or inner ear, in that still small voice. As we mature as believers we recognize his voice more and more. Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever. The Lamb of God, Bless His Holy Name!!!
Yes he's the same God of yesterday, but what people don't see is that he has a program that changes throughout time. And I can tell you once the bible was finished, people were tested. The test was do you believe the bible only, or do you believe he is still giving messages outside the bible. Sadly many have and are failing the test. I just know that I don't want to here him say to me "I never knew".
I asked and He speaks and continues to do.

As for Philippians...the context is that God is working in his people through the power of the Holy Spirit to "do" His will.
There is no Word. Do God speaks to us? YES...either through his word, or it will be backed by his word.
Hebrew 1:1-2...God in pastimes spoke to us through the prophets. Now he is speaking to us through His Son (the Word). The book of Hebrews talk about how there is no one greater than Jesus. So why would God go back and speak privately to someone to give us the word. Are they greater than Jesus?

So true!
I believe God audibly speaks through the Spirit in us. However, I believe 99% of what comes out the Charismatic movement is voices in their own head, daydreams, their own thoughts, or just straight up lies. (Troy Black is the perfect example of someone who thinks every thought in their head or dream at night is a revelation from God)
Dude, you are too biblically sound and spiritually dead. Are we not spiritual beings made in the image of God according to Genesis? What will be left after they take away the Bibles and all internet access to the scriptures. The Holy Spirit will always keep us close to God even if the Bible is taken away from us.
Matthew 23:27
The closest to actually hearing from God directly is this: whenever I am in desperate need, I ask God for help. The thought that crosses my mind after that is this, "I am." He is helping us even in trials because He works all things together for our Good. Is he helping you?
The bible is the Word of God and Jesus Christ is the Word, so yes the Bible is Jesus and Jesus is the Bible, if you read it wrong it's not Jesus that's wrong, the problem is with you.
Amen, praise God! How can he be anything else according to the bible!!
How a *calvinist* should approach a person with *his* “gospel”:
"Hi! I have good news for you! I don't know if God loves you, the most likely is that He hates you.
I also don't know if He died for you on the cross, only a very few were chosen… But Listen!"
Sad but true! This is the false gospel that is being preached in many churches.
We need urgently to bring back the *powerful, simple* and *true gospel* summarized in *John 3:16.*
If God says that he died for everyone, *it means that He died for everyone:*
*Isaiah 53:6* ; *John 1:29* ; *John 3:16,17* ; *John 4:42* ; *2 Corinthians 5:14,15* ; *Romans 5:18* ;
*1 Timothy 2:6* ; *1 Timothy 4:10,11* ; *Titus **2:11* ; *1 John 2:2* ; *John 12:47* ; *1 John 4:14* ; *Hebrews 2:9* …etc
Let's be very careful, let's not be found liars.
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know!
God speaks! This prophetic WORD still stands 2024! No scriptures that says God discontinued speaking to his people. If he did, prayer would be USELESS. Think about that.🤔
How does one explain the Holy Spirit function? He leads, guides, teaches, comforts, Etc. These functions can't happen without some type of communication with the mind. There are so many decisions we make that are not written down in the word. These decisions are prayed through and we come to a conclusion based upon the word but also the voice or leading of God's spirit. We learn through this action, failing, succeeding if God's voice is in fact leading us.
Justin Peters (and other cessationists) makes a grave mistake in his assessment where he says if God is speaking today, then that word a particular individual receives is just as authoritative as any which has been recorded in holy writ, and is therefore applicable to all. That is not true for the simple fact that we have many examples of prophets and individuals who truly spoke by the Spirit whose utterings were not recorded. They were from God, but not recorded. Not every word that the Spirit has spoken to men has been recorded. What did Saul prophesy? What did the prophets in the school of the prophets prophesy? What did the daughters of Philip prophesy? What did the people in Corinth or any other New Testament church prophesy? What did the believers in Acts 2 prophesy? What did Agabus prophesy before the two words that we have from him, since he was clearly a noted prophet before these words? There was no recording of any of these who were clearly moved by God to speak. They were only intended for those specific people to whom they were directed. Those words were for the people who heard them, not everyone. On the flip side, we could also ask where the third letter (actually the first Paul wrote to them) the Church at Corinth is and where is the letter to the Laodiceans? We know they were written by Paul, but, for reasons unknown to us, God did not preserve them for our knowledge. Certainly, they carried the word of God. But not for our use.
Corey did a good job noting this. I just added a little to it.
With regard to MacArthur's claim about adding to the Scripture, one would have to claim that they were bringing forth an additional revelation missing from the gospel that they believe is binding on all believers as some necessity. This would be something that we see with the Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses, etc. And, truly, if someone were to try to add to the gospel, let him or her be Anathema (Gal. 6:1-10). However, I personally (yes, I am speaking from experience, because it fits here), have never heard anyone claim anything like that anywhere. Obviously, it doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but if it did, they were mistaken and need correction.
Another point to the fact of those who do not have access to a bible. Corey mentioned those who have restrict access because of where they may live etc, but there is also the fact that untold millions do not have a bible in their own language. In our day, much great work has been done to make the Bible available in thousands of languages, but there are still many who do not have one in their language. The Bible in English is widely available today, but that was not true only 500 years ago. So for 1,500 years no Bible en masse for English speakers either. More to my point is the fact of illiteracy. The Bible may be available and accessible, but millions cannot read. It is amazing that people do not seem to recognize these well-known facts.
We must always use caution with Spirit guidance, as the Apostle Paul expressed, "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good." God's written word is given to us to judge the things that we believe to have received. Anything spoken must line up with the character of God revealed in His holy word.
I am kinda charismatic(though I listen to Corey a little too much😂). I believe God speaks but I am extremely cautious. So, I guess I agree with Corey again.
It is true God's word and instructions are found in the Bible. You're also right Corey in that we can go to two extremes and neither are good. (One, God speaks to us and we throw away the Bible, or two, we make the Bible to be God) For many cessationists, I believe they treat the Bible as if it is God. We also see it within those who practice Judaism. We see them dancing with Torah scrolls and having it locked away in displays. God's ways are contained in Scripture, and we have to study to show ourselves approved. You have to mull over the scriptures and ask questions. Like a cow grazing on and chewing the cud. We have to chew the scriptures, swallow it, regurgitate, and chew on it again. This is what familiarize us to God's ways. When we have a firm understanding of who God is, the Holy Spirit will lead us according to what we've hidden in our hearts.
Interestingly enough, the "canon" of scripture has always been incomplete. We know there are lost books that OT scripture makes mention of, and they rise those lost books to the same level of authority. We know Jude and Peter makes mention of Enoch 1. Paul makes mention of sayings of Jesus that aren't recorded in the Gospels, such as the saying of it being more blessed to give than to receive. Yet the 66 books we do have, we as Christians share it in common. The true canon God cares about, is what He Himself is writing on our hearts. We then become living epistles to the world. So for the two extremes surrounding this, they are both wrong. We have to rightly divide scripture, and hide it in our hearts. God leads us from there.
Roman’s says creation speaks of Him in chapters 1-2. He speaks through His word. He leads us via the conscience He gave us. He gives us discernment to tell if things are of Him or not. He said we would have dreams and visions. I know He has spoken to people audibly in the Bible, but has not yet spoken to me audibly. I do not expect it nor do I say it could never happen. He is God and He does what should be done. I do not put expectations on Him nor do I limit Him. “Lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.” Where we have to be very careful is in telling others we know what Gods is saying to them.
The Lord spoke to me directly only once and through signs many times in the beginning of my salvation. He called me to be a “foregoer”. That was the word I heard after I cried out to Him asking Him /begging Him to speak to me to give me direction. He called me to be an evangelist. Foregoer is another word for forerunner or messenger.
Noun. foregoer (plural foregoers) Alternative form of forgoer. (historical) A purveyor of the king,
When I looked into the Greek to see where this was used I found the word “foregoer” was used and found the word presbeuo in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 and Ephesians 6:20.
God is good and will speak to you if you are called and you seek Him with all your heart. Praise the Lord!!!
Well Corey, I know a person who has no shame in telling everyone on every visit that God spoke to them on various issues. It usually happens when they don't want anyone to oppose or reject their statement. Some folk hear more from God than Moses, Job and everyone else in the bible. You can't tell them anything. And don't get me started on those who claim they are prophets........
Many people with a UA-cam channel say God speaks to them in a dream. The problem is what God tells them. It is usually material related information which i am certain God would not be bothered with this. Everytime Mary and Jesus have appeared to people, it is about salvation.
I was born and raised Muslim and had never read the Bible before. I had people prophesy to me that Christ wanted me and I would become a preacher. I remember always arguing and debating them.
July 15, 2015, I lay in bed with tears and called out to Christ Jesus. As clear as day, I heard a voice repeat these words to me, “new creature” time and time again (2 Cor 5:17). I didn’t even know what they meant. That night, I had a dream where a woman approached me, called me ‘Pastor’ and asked me to pray for her. Afterwards, I had subsequent visions including one of my Muslim father praying in a mosque asking me to return; something he later admitted to.
While Charismatics take things too far, Cessationists do the same, but in the opposite direction by denying God’s power.
Shalom!
Cessationists don’t deny God’s power. They don’t deny exceptional miracles. They deny that it is God’s will to give out spiritual gifts that serve as signs when the prophetic meaning of the signs was fulfilled long ago.
For example, God might heal someone, but that’s not the same as giving a man the ability to go around healing people. And giving you a dream is not the same as giving you the ability to continue dreaming prophetically.
@@ricksonora6656this is very well said! Very true. A lot of people often don’t know what cessationism means
@@Nehemiah810 Thanks. I implied an important distinction but wasn’t clear. Cessationists also believe in non-sign spiritual gifts. Teaching, hospitality, discernment, administration, evangelism, giving, showing mercy (helping people, such as fixing a faucet or car, or making a meal for someone who’s injured) are spiritual gifts for all time.
Here’s something I’ve never heard anyone point out:
1 Corinthians 12 has an interesting study on the division of labor within the Trinity and in the church. God assigns roles and the Spirit equips accordingly. The Son leads the campaigns.
Sometime, make three columns labeled Father, Christ, and Holy Spirit. Then go through that chapter and list what each Person does, with the verses.
It seems the Pentecostal/ charismatic folks are often the people who claim God speaks to them audibly. 🤔
People who claim to speak for God when they're just making stuff up must repent or else they are doomed no false prophet goes to heaven. They must repent.

Read it out loud😂😂😂 I have to remember that one. He speaks to us all the time. We have to be still and listen.
I had a dream after I first got saved....and in the dream I was laying on my stomach in a desert place. I tried to stand up, but could not...no matter how hard I tried, I could not stand to my feet. I felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me, "Be humble". When I let go and submitted....grass began to grow, and trees began to sprout...the sky turned a beautiful blue and birds were chirping and flying and I was able to stand up and then I awoken from the dream. God is good. Jesus promised us the Comforter when he ascended....the word "Comforter" is akin to the greek word "Paraciete" which is "He who walks alongside to help". The Holy Spirit is the seal who guides us and impresses upon us to do His will, who walks alongside us to help.
You can have three different ministers interpreting the same piece of scripture in three different ways. One of the Holy Spirit's jobs is to lead you to the truth. The Lord speaks through scripture but he has supplementary ways of guiding and speaking to you. Audibly is one way especially if he needs to immediately get your attention.
I really wonder what Justin Peters and John MacAuthor prayer life is like. I feel like they serve a God who is very distant. They seem to depise people who have or seek a close relationship with God.

I would kinda agree, but the Prodigal Son parable did deal with The Lord restoring a lost son in status and resources. So I would say material/tangible requests are more a heart issue, in that what you ask for is less important than the motivation behind it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
CCD,
The prodigal son was restored in relationship to his father, where he lived under the status and blessings from his father.
As he had spent his inheritance, he only had what the Father blessed him with, it wasn't his.
@judithmargret5972 If gifting doesn’t allow us to count stuff as "ours", then nothing is truly ours as James 1:17 tells use where all good & perfect gifts come from...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@CCD_106 I didn't say that. I only said the prodigal son had nothing left of his own, he depended totally on his father's love and grace
Exactly like we do.
In all things through prayer and supplication bring your request unto god….
I believe God speaks to us through scripture and through prayer. The issue is some people say God spoke to them and they exposit the scriptures properly
God speaks audibly. It tells me a lot about these ministers who say God don't speak audibly. Maybe, the Lord don't speak to them audibly. Once you have had a walking and talking relationship with the Lord, you know his voice. If you hear more than one voice. You can ask the Lord to salience the voice that is not his. I first heard the Lord speak to me in an audible voice by in 1974. I was in a life and death situation. After He saved my life, we talked for the rest of the night. I would wake up each day for next weeks, in the morning and start the conversation with the Lord. Sometimes, the conversations was not about anything serious, I just love talking to him. He was not only my God but my best friend, I did not suppose to be alive. From that day to now, I can hear him. Even in my life when I started to drifted back in to the world, I could still hear him talking to me. He never gave up on me and he never stop talking to me. Sometimes, when I hear a minister who speaks so well and knowledgeable say something like, God don't talk audibly, to me, it exposes them as a fraud. Just say you don't know if he speaks audibly I will have more respect for that.
Extremes always come as a duality of parallel opposites.
Cory, I understand the point that you are making, but I. Also, understand the point that justin i's making. I'm not absolutely sure of your point that God may speak to us regarding ourselves and not for everyone. I still would think we would be able to confirm His speaking to us personly though His Word, but I will go with that for now. I think what justin is speaking about are these people going around and openly saying God said God said God said. Other believers have no way of knowing if what they speak is true if we have nothing to judge it by. That is why we must be strict advocates of the Word of God. I was caught up in the word of faith movement, and I almost lost my eternal life,had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of God. Love you, brother Cory. Thanks for all you do
Brother Cory you hit the nail right on the head. Reading the Bible and being led by the Holy Spirit 🙌 🙏,
I want you to tell truth and be real Corey . God does not speak audible but through his word Hebrews 11:1
I also want to say who decided these books are canon, the law of YAH is written in our hearts and minds no one is unreachable because HE has access to every one of HIS creation, that’s why HE says when you hear his voice harden not your heart
It is the Holy Spirit that speaks to us in addition to the scriptures.
Isaiah 30:21
[21] Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Amen!!!
Reading the Word of God and being led by the Holy Spirit is the key to success as a Christian 😊😊
In KJV - Genesis 2 : 16 God Warned Adam Before Eve Was Formed...
As For KJV - Genesis 3 : 3 Adam Told Eve What God Said, Adam Added "Do Not Touch It"
How Do I Know? Because. I Believe The Holy Spirit. If You Have Ears. Please Hear! Amen!
Can you do a video on how God leds and communicate with individuals believers. Im not a person who trying to preach or what ever but i just want to have a relationship with Christ but now im confuse about how he speaks or if he speaks
People don't know the Bible... and they think that God speaks to them... 🙈
...it is their imaginary "god".
The Holy Spirit can lead us, convince us to make various changes,... I believe this can be interpreted as the voice of God.
He can also send us another person, whom he will use to speak to us...
I believe in this "voice" of God.
does god speak to us with the scripture? or does he teach us thru the scriptures? ... god use the scriptures so you may learn about him and about his son ...
Matt 16:6 (KJV)
Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ( the religious leaders in those days )
Matt 16:12 (KJV)
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
but this is the doctrine of christ ...
Matt 16:16-19 (KJV)
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
"and upon that rock ( doctrine) he will build his church ( his people )
Matt 17:5 (KJV)
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
do you hear him? ... he is the son of the living god ... he is the christ that god sent ... the firstborn of every creature ... the beginning of the creation of god ... the light that came into the world ... the word that was manifested in him ... he is our brother if we do the will of the father ... did he teach that he was god? or did he teach that he was the christ? ... did he taught that the commandments was the eternal life? ...
John 12:48-50 (KJV)
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words ( rhema ) , hath one that judgeth him: the word ( logos ) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his ( God ) commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
but what do the Pharisees teach in these days ... doctrines of men ... the same as in the past when jesus was on earth ... listen to jesus and not men who think they know god but all they know is about god ... maybe they heard god or maybe they didn't but one thing i do know is that churches are not doing the will of god ... And I know that his ( God ) commandment is life everlasting: ... it is how you receive the mercy of god ... what is not in scripture then men added into scripture by their doctrine ... those who are not found in the book of life will be in the lake of fire ...
Rev 20:15 (KJV)
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 3:5 (KJV)
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev 22:14 (KJV)
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
do that sound like osos? ... do jesus or anyone of his disciple talk about the trinity? ...or oneness ... or jesus being god ... be careful by not serving the father and having another god alone side him because one is god and the other is christ who god anointed ... and when all is fulfill then christ will be subject to god ...
1Cor 15:28 (KJV)
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
Well shared Brother:
What some Christians don't realize is this:
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Living Word, while The Bible is the written word - They HAVE NEVER, currently DO NOT, nor will they ever CONTRADICT each other. If he has spoken (past tense), then he is NO LONGER speaking. We are calling God a Liar.
I believe God audibly speaks through the Spirit in us. However, I believe 99% of what comes out the Charismatic movement is voices I their own head.
I believe it's very simple as Corey said, if God is speaking to you, you WON'T OR CAN'T miss it. He is the great I AM and if he says something you will hear. I believe the same applies to leading. If God is leading me in the sense this is exactly what he wants me to do, I won't miss it. Does God still speak audibly today, I can't find a single reference in the Bible that says he stopped. In my experience as well, living in a Muslim country, you hear people saying that Jesus appeared to me and spoke to me and they converted. Some I know 20 or 30 years ago and are still sound believers. But back to Corey's comment, this was never the norm and it's not today. Simply put, if you are not sure it's God, it's not. Nowhere in the Bible did people miss God when he spoke. He won't let you miss it.
I totally agree with you, but one thing that gets under my skin is the leaving out of The Third Person of The Godhead, The Holy Spirit! (John 16:7) Jesus said its expedient for you that I go away, if I don't go the Advocate will not come to you. ."The Holy Spirit is moving in this time, and yet His Name is rarely mentioned! It saddens me to see the pulpit not teach warnings and the MEAT of The Word. I believe The Spirit of Truth guides us into all Truth, even revealing the sins within our hearts and minds. I'm leery of a voice and i question thoughts and words according to the Bible, but the scripture i use is "by 2 or 3 witnesses let every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1) like you said, "In the multitude of counselors, there's safety" (Proverbs 11:14) I don't trust people that I don't know and for some reason, black folks believe everything some guy says, without ever writing it down,. I've caught more liars saying somebody gonna get a check for a certain amount and never get it, it makes me sick! We're not taught to question anything, nor study to see if its so! Please keep teaching, I feel alone out here! Shalom Be in You!
When I read (2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of Gid may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.) I understand it as “All scripture.... throughly furnishes” & that means that we do not need any other “words from God”. And since all scripture is the living Word of God & it is Christ, & it cannot lie & will not lie, then anyone claiming that God is speaking to them & giving them new prophetic words or new revelations, outside of what is already written in scripture, then that person has to be the liar, because again, the living Word of God, the Bible, does not & cannot lie.
The Bible tells us that the heart (which actually means subconscious, emotions, biases, promptings, etc) are wicked and deceiving.
When we receive salvation, we don’t cease to live in our fleshly bodies.
The best that any of us can do is a “maybe it came from God” when it comes to thoughts that pop into our head or internal promptings. No how how “Godly” they may seem. No matter how “supernatural” they may feel.
This idea of a “relationship” with Jesus (meaning him speaking to us through thoughts or promptings) is found NO where in scripture. And God speaking to humans through an actual audible voice is very RARE in scripture.
So when God speaks you will understand always? Hmmm 🤔
Job 33:14-33
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
In 1 Samuel 3 God called Samuel audibly three times and he didn’t know it was God lol. .
At this point know the scriptures for yourselves. Well intended ppl will have you all over the place.
19:52 I don’t understand that. Could someone explain how “..you’re saying that God is not just speaking to you, but to everyone else. We all should be hearing what’s happening…If God is speaking to you, he should be speaking to me.” I don’t understand how this could be true. So when Jesus spoke directly to Saul because he was persecuting Christians, does that mean “everyone” needed to hear this and also it was also true for everyone else? Obviously not. In Acts 9 God spoke to Ananias in a vision and led him. Should there have been thousands of believers taking Ananias’ path because he was speaking to everyone? Someone, if you’re willing, please explain this.
Luke 24:30-35
Over spiritualizing the voice of God is dangerous. Jesus taught and revealed Himself to the disciples by what Moses and the prophets taught. How I hear Him and know Him. The scriptures all God's Word which i can't contain is enough. In the fear of God i don't listen and agree with myself and think the Lord somehow agrees with me. Nope He knows what my heart was and is. And is being conformed too. I don't trust the law of sin in my memebers. Romans 7 tells me Christ will free me from this body of death, so i must study and let the Word of the Lord dwell in me richly growing i. The grace and wisdom and knowledge of God. People who disagree have formed their own relationship with a god, more than likely themselves and need to repent, in the most loving way repent and let God's Word and the right interpretation be enough. Through Christ alone in His death burial and resurrection do we even know Him so it starts and ends with Him.
What is amazing is that the book of Revelation in which Rev 22:18 is there, was written by the last Apostle alive then, John. Coincidence- perhaps, but I think it is God's amazing design.
Hello, have you done a study on Ellen G. White and the Seventh Day adventist church? Doesn't the Great Controversy prove that she did hear from God? I'm asking because I'm new to SDA
Justin Peter's could not hear God speak to his heart because he's a doubter,like he says of these folks he doesn't believe God doesn't speak to our hearts only through scripture,I'm sure God speaks to my heart,cause it would sure be a dry and lonesome relationship,that's like saying I have relationship with my wife,but we don't talk.Justin Peter's overthinks and basically can't hear from God.Poor Poor Justin,keep your doubt fear and unbelief to your self Justin.
There are gifts that operate only by the audible speaking from God
Prophesy, Words of Wisdom, Words if Knowledge and even Preaching.
Why is this subject so misunderstood? Let me make it plain! In the garden of Eden God did not speak with Eve. The Bible says that God fellowshipped with Adam in the cool of the day.
When God gave the command regarding not eating of the tree in the center of the garden, he gave that to Adam! This is the reason it is said that Eve was deceived, (nothing happened when Eve ate off of the tree in deception, because she herself did not hear the command directly from God) but Adam was not deceived, to the contrary, Adam flat out disobeyed what God had directly spoken to him.
Adam was the head of Eve, Adam was Eve's covering. God honors headship which is the reason why he spoke to Adam, and it was Adam's responsibility to teach Eve. We are dealing with the same thing today. Hebrews chapter 1 tells us that in time past God spoke at many times, and in variousunto the fathers by the prophets. but hath in these days speaks to us by his son (Jesus Christ) it is easy to understand that God (the Father) does not speak to us at all. We (the body of christ) have a savior and a head, whose named Christ Jesus. The scripture makes it clear that we are under the lordship of Jesus Christ and God the father has given us unto his son Jesus christ.
It is Jesus that speaks to some of us in an audible voice just as he did with the apostle Paul while on the road to Damascus. Hebrews chapter 1 plainly says that God speaks to us through his son. Jesus knows the will of the father, Jesus is the head of the church, and it is Jesus that has the ability to speak to any member of the body by whatever means necessary, including in an audible voice.
So in conclusion Hebrews chapter 1 is correct when in concluding that God (the Father) does not speaks to us in an auditable voice. But it is clear, as evidenced by Paul's experience on the road to damascus, that Jesus does indeed speak to us in an audible voice. This is further confirmed where in Jesus himself said my sheep know my VOICE, and a stranger they will not follow
That IS what John said. If you add to or take away, and you claim this as some kind of divine revelation from God, then yes I believe that carries the heaviest of penalties because of how many will be led astray potentially by this. And look how many false “prophets” and “apostles” now, the verses that talks about this, the influx of false prophets in the last days, was our warning. Do NOT do this
The holy spirit reveals the divine thing of God. He the spirit teaches, and he guide us into all truth. Hebrew 5 v 12/13/ verse 14 you can only understand how divine things are revealed. You can only receive what is given to you from heaven. John 6v44 many of us were not draws .
What I found troubling is that what Priscilla said can at worst be said to 'need nuance or clarification'. What JP AND JM said was completely wrong and unbiblical but guess who is the false teacher?
God does speak to us. Primarily thru the words of the Bible, & also thru the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Of course he speaks , I pray and ask God questions and he answers as long as I abide in him. No it is not auidble ,but u just know. U check it with God character and the word . He is a living God ! I also know my own words or my own desires .it is hard sometimes
How God spoke to the people through the Son before the Bible were through the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. He spoke to us through what He spoke to the apostles. Jesus said unto His disciples to teach everyone what they've heard from Him. So in the context of God speaking to us through His Son is the message of Jesus Christ and His teachings. But God does speak to us personally as well because He spoke to the apostles and other early Christians personally. He had spoken to me, not audibly but, through dreams in a prophetic way. Through dreams He also gave warnings unto me. He had spoken to my mother with a very loud voice more than once and also to my younger brother. And what was said were more personal but always aligned with scripture. And what was prophetically revealed always came to pass. And what was said were always right and just. So God do speak to us not just in the ways I've mentioned but in a lot more ways.
I found myself pregnant 36 years ago.
My ex-husband was horribly abusive. I didnt want to continue with the pregnant. Id scheduled abortions but each time on the night before the procedure, I dreamed of my baby. I saw her face and i couldn't go through with the abortion.
When she was born, I was in shock at the fact that she was the baby Id seen in my dreams. I saw her face
Naw we don't have to give Eve the benefit of the doubt as it relates to her conversation with the enemy in the garden. What it suggests to me is that Eve was in error and not sin in the traditional sense as it relates to rebellion. Eve should have differed to her husband who was her Spiritual covering and he ,meaning Adam should have deferred to GOD. They should've worked from the Spiritual starting With GOD and back to the physical. Instead they started with the physical and tried to work backwards to the spiritual. This has always been a tactic of the adversary.
Sorry yall. Reading God's word did not help me when my cat was lost.
I took my cat out for a walk one day hoping it might cure her from her extreme fear of others.
As we got on the elevator of my apartment building and when a neighbor got on with us, it scared my cat. She clung to me by digging her claws into me. She was unable to hold on on and when she fell, she ran off.
Id raised this cat since she was 3 weeks old and ess quite bonded to her.
She'd been lost for about a month when I had a dream that my cat was found in the underground parking structure and I lived. Soon after, I ran into a neighbor who harshly reprimanded me for bringing my cat outdoors.
I was able to tell her that God sent me a dream showing me my cat would be found in our understanding parking garage and that She'd be with me when Antigone Rose was found. Carol made it a point to tell me that there was no God.
Another month passed by and I began to lose faith when a neighbor knocked on my door saying she thought she saw my cat in the underground parking structure where we lived.
I immediately ran down to the parking garage and low and behold, my cat was there. About a minute later, Carol just happened to walk through the parking garage. So yep. God does speak to us not always through scripture.
Excellent job Corey
John MacArthur and Justin Peters are spiritually blind. You cannot even get saved unless God speaks to you and draws you to himself. God reproves and rebukes those he loves. How do you think a reproves and rebukes you if he doesn't speak to you. I feel very sorry for people that do not believe it all that God cannot speak to you today after all aren't you his child.
People I know who were raised in families where "God spoke" to their parents have said that it was a cop out for sin -getting in debt, doing what they wanted to do and justifying it with "It was the Lord's idea." We have seen it first hand, too, where people have said that God told them to do something that contradicted His Word and they got mad when told that God would not tell you to do something that contradicted His own Word. We even had one who said he couldn't leave where he was until God told him to. I guess "God spoke" when the homeowner said he had to start paying rent if he didn't leave. There is so much in scripture that we could read it hundreds of times and learn something new every day. We have all that we need. If we don't listen to what He has already told us, why would we be so arrogant to think He is going to tell us something extra and special to us? Another observation is that those who say God spoke to them are the ones who rarely, if ever, open their Bibles and study scripture. I heard a "pastor" once who shared all that "God told" him just that morning before he got up to speak and never used one word from scripture. No thank you. The Bible says, "Study to show thyself approved, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly deciding the Word of Truth."
Watching this purely for entertainment because NOBODY can tell me my Father doesn’t talk to me lol.
I find it curious that though you don't agree with JP on his wrong ascertion that if God says something then it should be equivalent to scripture - you don't 'call him out as a false teacher'. JP has builtany wrong teachings on this basis yet he is still one of the 'good guys'. I wonder what would happen of the same grace was extended to people of other theological persuasions🤔
jesus teaches us in st,John 14,chap verse6 l am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father, but by me,it takes 1st, obedience to the teachings of the gospel, the father gave us through his son to be purged by the father, to come to know him,the father is not going to reveal himself to no one who don't follow the gospels jesus said also in st,John 15chap l am the..true vine and my father is the husbandman,every branch (those that have repented and obey what he preached )in me that. don't bring forth fruit he(his father)taketh away ,but every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth (cleans it)that it may bring forth much fruit,now your are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you (he.preached the gospel ,and it was through the gospels and years of abiding in them, jesus revealed his father unto me, and l am a witness he only makes himself known through his son, Paul also a witness, told us in hebrews 1st chapter, God who in sundry time's and divers manners,spake to the fathers by the prophets, and in these last days spoken unto us by his son, if you want to know the father, you must lst obey the son.
God can speak, God can do an say anything, but I’m a true follower of Christ and pastor an I’ve never heard Gods voice audibly!
just thinking out loud. what if, just maybe, if your wrong about all this? then you would have lived a whole life rejecting God's voice. how sad.
It's almost always a woman that what's to speak a word
Do they really think they are that important that God will contradict all that he said in scripture about listening to the apostles? God made it impossible to lie on Him. That is why he took, tongues, prophesying, and miracles away because these things a easy to fake. Not meaning He can't do these things, but why would he do these things when He wants Believers to believe by unseen faith.
Corey, I’ve noticed a difference in your presentation. There is more grace. I think the conversation that you had with Pagani and the others was good for you. It’s seems you’ve taken in what was said.
I am starting to think you left Tony Evans’ church because his daughter preaches. SMH
