GOD COMMUNICATES

The Bible says God speaks. We are without excuse before God if we fail to acknowledge, thank, and glorify God when He speaks. (Romans 1) ALL knowledge and wisdom come from Him. He’s the only source. Demons speak too, but God is all-powerful and can communicate in a way that we know the difference between His voice and the voices of human or demonic minds.

“Because a knowledge of God is revealed to them, for God has revealed it to them. For the secrets of God from the foundation of the world are appearing to His creatures through intelligence, even His power and His eternal Godhead, that they will be without a defense, Because they knew God, and they did not glorify Him as God, nor did they give Him thanks, so that they became destitute in their reasoning and became dull in their heart without understanding. And when they thought in themselves that they were wise, they became insane. (Romans 1:19-22)

“So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him” (Luke 11:13)

Jesus told us “Whoever is on the side of truth listens to Me” (John 18:37).

God is the one who begins your journey to become more like Jesus. 1 John 4:19 says God loved us first, so you can love Him back. Philippians 2:13 tells you God helps you want to do good things. You need to trust God to help you change. He’s not just changing what you do; He’s changing what you are.

From this time forward, Bible reading will change for you. You will begin to notice verses you never noticed before. These verses tell you God speaks, and they tell you how He speaks. God will continue to comfort you and encourage you to listen closely to His voice.

Ask God to answer these questions.
Why does the Bible say you are without excuse if you don’t thank and glorify God?
How do you know the difference between God’s voice and other voices?
What are the secrets of God that are revealed to you?
What happens if you don’t thank God or give Him glory?
How does God help you change to become more like Jesus?
Bonus questions:

Who are Jesus’ sheep?
How do Jesus’ sheep hear His voice?
Why do you need to live by every word that comes from God?
Why can’t some people hear God’s words?
What does it mean to receive Jesus and become a child of God?
Why did some people not receive Jesus when He came into the world?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Some people claim God doesn’t speak.

Some people think God doesn’t speak. It’s very common for schools and media to claim only natural explanations are valid, and that makes this problem worse. Some even think God doesn’t exist. Then there are those who think God used to speak, but He doesn’t do that anymore. They think God left the Bible behind so we can read the Bible and figure things out from there. And yet, God does speak. He speaks to every person, but some refuse to thank Him or glorify Him. The fact is that we don’t have the capacity to figure the Bible out. That’s why good sincere people argue about what the Bible says. But look at what the Bible does say about God speaking.

“Whoever is on the side of truth listens to Me” (John 18:37)

“Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Father” (Matthew 4:4)

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

”Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God” (John 8:47)

“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.” (John 1:9-12 goes on to make it clear this Light is Jesus.)

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Ask God to answer these questions:

Why do skeptics and atheists claim God doesn’t speak or doesn’t exist?
Why do people interpret the Bible differently if God speaks through it?
Why do you need divine guidance to truly understand the Bible?
What does it mean for you to be on the side of truth?
What does it mean for you to live by every word that comes from God?

Bonus questions:

How do you hear God’s voice?
Why do some people not hear God’s words?
How can you trust God with all your heart?

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

God wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Ephesians 4:11-16 “And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

This is generally called the five-fold ministry. In Scripture, “apostle” refers to an office. There are two apostolic offices: elder and deacon. Don’t confuse these two offices with local elders and deacons. In Scripture, we see Paul, a traveling elder, directing the work of traveling deacons such as Timothy. They are similar offices, but the scope is different. Apostles travel from church to church. Scripture says these traveling elders and deacons receive a living from the offerings of the church members. Prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers are ministries. This becomes harder to understand since local elders pastor (care for as a shepherd) the local church members.

“to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.”

This is the gradual transformation process that’s all over Scripture. It will come to completeness at one point. The fleshly nature will not be a problem then. Sickness and death will be things of the past. It becomes obvious that this maturing process isn’t an individual walk. We walk as a body. May the church come into conformity with the Holy Spirit.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.

That’s maturity. Christ is fully formed within. The flesh has lost all power. It appears, from other Scriptures, this may be associated with the redemption of our bodies.

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head. From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

The church was not designed to have one minister or a ministry team that sits in the front to minister to the people in the audience. It’s a body that builds itself up in love. The elders’ main job is to make sure every member is entering into his or her ministry to the fullest. It changes the nature of the church service to look like 1 Corinthians 14.

Ask God to answer these questions.
What does it mean for you to mature into the “full measure of the stature of Christ”?
Why do you need to grow together as a part of the body and not alone?
What does it mean for you to speak the truth in love?
How does the church “build itself up in love”?
Why isn’t the church supposed to have just one minister doing everything?
Bonus questions:

What does 1 Corinthians 14 say about what a church service should look like?
What is the difference between a traveling elder and a local elder?
How do prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers help the church?
What is the five-fold ministry?
What is an apostle?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

What does it mean that Jesus authors faith in your heart?

When you look to the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:16, Isaiah 45:22), the Father speaks the Word (Jesus) in some form of leading (John 1:1, 14, Hebrews 1:1-2).

If you receive that leading, Jesus authors faith in your heart (Hebrews 12:2, Romans 10:17). This is the faith of the Son of God, God’s Word. When you receive that faith, the Son of God is manifested in you in the form of belief you call “faith” (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 13:5). You believe, and yet not you, but Christ. At that point, you have the full authority of Christ to do the Father’s will (John 14:12, Matthew 28:18-20). You received the vision and see His image as if looking into a mirror in your brothers and sisters and yourself and realize who you are in Christ and how you fit into His body (Colossians 1:27, 1 John 3:2).

But Christ has not yet finished the work of faith. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26), which is why faith gives you access to grace (Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:8).

And grace then abounds to you through Christ to do the work God has given you to do (2 Corinthians 9:8, Philippians 2:13). The Holy Spirit obeys the Father through you.

Your part is to yield (John 16:13-14, Galatians 5:16-17, Romans 8:14, James 4:7). You let go and let God (Romans 6:13, Romans 12:1).

He says the words by His power or does the acts by His power. That Word (Jesus) the Father spoke is the seed of the Sower that has found good ground in your heart (Luke 8:11, 15). This is transformation (Romans 8:29). It is Christ formed in you (2 Corinthians 3:18, Galatians 4:19). It is a measure of holiness added to you, and, in that thing, you are changed forever.

These minor changes continue from glory to glory (1 John 3:3, 2 Peter 1:5-8) until the day the work will be complete (Philippians 1:6, 2 Corinthians 3:18).

Ask God to answer these questions.
How does God speak the Word (Jesus) to you?
What does it mean that Jesus authors faith in your heart?
What is the power of God’s grace, and what does it do?
How does grace do God’s work through you?
How do you let go and let God?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean for the Holy Spirit to obey the Father through you?
What is the Seed that finds good ground in your heart?
How do these changes happen from glory to glory?
What does it mean to look to the Lord?
How is Christ formed in you?
What does the phrase mean: “faith without works is dead?”
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Spiritual Maturity

God speaks. When you look to the Lord, the Father speaks the Word (Jesus) in some form of leading. If you receive that leading, Jesus authors faith in your heart. This is the faith of the Son of God, God’s Word. When you receive that faith, the Son of God is manifested in you in the form of belief. You believe, and yet not you, but Christ. Faith gives you access to grace. Grace does God’s work through you. You yield. Then the flesh dies a little bit and Christ is formed more fully in your mind.

2 Corinthians 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

You yield to God’s Spirit

Romans 6:13 “Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.”

God transforms you

Romans 6:19 “I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.”

IMPORTANT: Righteousness is Christ working through you to do the Father’s will in the moment. Holiness is Christ permanently formed in you, which is the definition of spiritual maturity.

IMPORTANT: When the Father leads, He is the Sower. He sows the Seed (the Word, Jesus) into your heart. You can reject it. If you receive it, the Seed finds good ground and brings forth fruit. It also transforms you.

Ask God to answer these questions:

1. What happens when you yield to God’s Spirit?
2. How does God transform you?
3. What does it mean to present yourself to God?
4. What is righteousness?
5. How does righteousness lead to holiness?

Bonus questions:

1. How are you transformed into the image of Christ; what is the process?
2. How is that different or the same as you growing into Christ and becoming more like Him?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

God leads you through Scripture and every means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture.

God speaks. He leads, teaches, and corrects us. He speaks through Scripture and every means of divine revelation mentioned in Scripture. We hear His voice when a brother or sister in Christ speaks by the Holy Spirit. We look for the day when we only speak by the Holy Spirit. When the Father speaks, Jesus Christ (the Word or Utterance of God) authors faith in your heart. You have to be willing to receive this faith. You have to listen to the voice of the Father. God allows you to resist Him, and He forces Himself on no one.

That faith that comes gives you access to God’s grace. God’s grace is God’s power to do or say whatever the Father led you to do or say. You yield to His grace and allow His grace to flow in love through you to do the Father’s will.

Faith accesses grace

Romans 5:1b-2a “our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand.”

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” Note that the grace is through faith.

Grace does God’s righteousness through you

James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

James 2:17 “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”

1 Corinthians 15:10 “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace to me was not in vain. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”

1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Ask God to answer these questions:

How does the process of receiving faith from God lead to your transformation?
What difference does your willingness to receive God’s faith make in this transformation?
How do you yield to God’s grace?
How can you actively yield to God’s grace in your daily life to allow God’s power to work through you?
Now you know the relationship between faith and grace as described in Romans 5:1-2, Ephesians 2:8. What does that tell you about your dependence on God’s power, rather than your own abilities for daily living?

Bonus questions:

Now that you see the Scriptures (James 1:22, James 2:17, 1 Corinthians 15:10) show the active nature of faith, what does it look like when you live out your faith through your works that are empowered by God’s grace?
Now that you know what it means to “walk in the light” as described in 1 John 1:7, how does your walking in the light affect your fellowship with other believers?
How does God speak to you through other people?
How is God’s grace different from God’s mercy or forgiveness?
How does grace help you do what God wants you to do?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love. God designed your mind to flow in His Spirit. It won’t work properly without His presence. Learn to stand in God’s presence and hear His voice. Then teach others to do the same.

The human mind is incapable of rational thought on its own.

The human mind is incapable of rational thought on its own. Without truth, there is no rational thought. The human mind can’t reason to truth. Agrippa the Skeptic discovered this about 2,000 years ago, and philosophers have been unsuccessfully trying to get around that fact since then. As a result, every secular form of epistemology is rooted in unproven and unprovable axioms that are taken as facts without any evidence. You can research and find that this is the case.

The only way anyone can know anything is if Someone Who knows all things and Who can’t lie reveals the truth to that person. Fortunately, Jesus Christ is the Light that enlightens every person. God demonstrates His reality to every person.

Some people acknowledge Him, thank Him, and give Him the glory for the knowledge He gives. They continue to walk into ever-greater light and knowledge of the truth. Others refuse to do that and gradually lose the ability to tell the difference between the voice of God and the things their useless mind makes up or even between what God says and what demons whisper into their minds. The eventually can’t tell the difference between reality and make-believe. That’s why you’re seeing so many crazy opinions all around.

Ask God to reveal His process to transform you.

This diagram with keys represents a single step in God’s process for transforming you on your transformation journey. Each step on your journey takes a moment. Go through these Bible verses and pray about this. Ask God to reveal this process to you.

Consider these Scriptures while studying the diagram. Look into faith first and continue with grace. God leads, teaches, and corrects every person. Christ is the Light, and He lights every person. Some people turn away from the Light. They refuse to thank God for the wisdom and knowledge He gives. Others acknowledge the Light and thank God for the Light. All wisdom and knowledge come from God. Those who thank God, listen, and yield to His Spirit walk into ever-increasing Light as Christ is formed in them. Those who refuse to thank God won’t listen to Him or yield to His Spirit. That’s why you see all the evil that’s in the world today.

God leads through His Word (Jesus Christ)

John 18:37b “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” (Jesus speaking)

John 10:16 “And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.” (Jesus speaking)

You hear. Faith comes by hearing the rhema leading of God

Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema, which means an utterance or statement) of God.”

Hebrews 12:2a “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith”

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Ask God to answer these questions:

How does this diagram represent God’s process for transformation?
How does the “seed” of God’s Word (Jesus Christ) relate to the parable of the sower?
What does it mean for Christ to be formed in you?
How does gratitude to God influence your ability to hear and yield to His Spirit?
Why do some people turn away from the Light?
Bonus questions:

What does it mean when the Bible says Christ is the Light?
What happens to you when you thank God and listen to Him?
Since God’s Word is God leading you any way He leads you, how does God lead you through His Word?
What does it mean when the Bible says your faith comes by hearing the rhema (spoken word) of God?
What is faith, and why is it important to you?

Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

HAVE YOU BEEN GOING FROM GLORY TO GLORY TO GLORY?

Transformation is both a gradual process and a sudden process. If you have been walking in the Spirit as the Scripture commands, God has been working on your transformation all the while. You have been going from glory to glory to glory to glory, one step at a time. However, a day is coming when there will be a sudden change. The old rebellious fleshly nature will be gone and Christ will be fully mature in you.

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” 1 Corinthians 15:52-53

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” Romans 8:19

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” 1 John 5:11-12

Ask God to answer these questions.

Rather than trusting the fallen human mind to try to answer important questions, ask God. All wisdom and knowledge is hidden in Christ, so ask God about these points:

How can you be transformed from glory to glory?
What is the sudden change called “the manifestation of the sons of God” that will happen in the future?
Why will your old rebellious nature be gone one day?
What does it mean for you to be changed in the twinkling of an eye?
What are the sons of God waiting for?

Bonus questions:

What does it mean to have life more abundantly?
What does it mean to have eternal life through Jesus Christ?
Keep in mind that God doesn’t want you to ever disconnect from Him. He wants to flow through you constantly in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

God wants to transform us into the image and likeness of Christ

The Bible shouts to us of transformation. God wants to transform us into the image and likeness of Christ.

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” Philippians 3:20-21
The adoption mentioned in Scripture is a sort of adoption different from what you may be familiar with. You may be more familiar with the word “adoption” as modern (Western) adoption, meaning taking someone who’s not born into the family and adding that person to the family. That’s a wonderful thing too, but it’s not what Scripture is talking about when it mentions adoption. Biblical (Eastern) adoption is a totally different concept. The person who is adopted must be a born son. The Bible uses the word “son,” but it applies to men and women. In the Scripture, adoption is placing a mature son into a position of authority in the family business. That’s why born again Christians are waiting for the adoption. And that adoption is the redemption of our bodies.

“And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” Romans 8:23

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14

Ask God to answer these questions:

How is the Holy Spirit transforming you into the image of Christ?
How will your body be changed to be like Jesus’ body?
What is the difference between
What is the difference between Biblical (Eastern) adoption to modern (Western) adoption??
What does it mean to be a “born son” in the Bible?
What is the adoption that the whole creation and you are waiting for?

Bonus questions:

What is the adoption, which is the redemption of your body?
What does it mean for you to be led by the Spirit of God?
