Hey, can anyone in the house tell me how to know if GOD is speaking to someone
and if you can tell me any web site that questions can be asked as per the word of GOD?

i dont really know any website but i will advice you to search the scriptures.(BIBLE)

how can i tell you if God is speaking to you?

exactly

Well fact is no one can tell u when God is indeed talking to you, but for you to be able to deduce when this manifestation happens and how to watch out and recognise it. God will talk to you at a time that you will hear his words, whether you heed it is another question. But do be careful as the devil can also talk to you in excatly the same manner - There a number of sites and forums you can go to but try this http://www.christianforums.com/

God speaks in divers manners. He can speak to you through His word, He can speak to you through your pastor, He can equally speak to you through inspirational literatures. what is important for you is to understand when God speaks. I don't know for what you want God to speak to you but let me advise you on one and most effiecient way God can speak to you and that is reading His word in a quiet secluded place, through the lines of the Bible God can illuminate a passage that will send just the right message you are waiting for, try this out and tell us how u felt. God bless you in your quest to hear Him.

He speaks in diverse ways.Some include:
1. Through His WORD.You may be going through a particular situation and all of a sudden, you read a biblie passage you may have read before but now gives a new meaning adderessing your situation.
2. Through a fellow human being,BUT make sure it does not contradict HIS WORD.
3. Its always good to move away from the crowd and noise to hear that still small voice that floods your soul with peace thereafter that you will know only God can do that.
4. Through peculiar situations and circumstances.

In all, be prayerful,be grounded in the WORD and be in the spirit, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God Rom 8:14

Adam and Eve heard the voice of which they knew to be God, or the Lord. In order to speak you must have a larynx, and its functions are to produce sounds and keep food from entering the trachea. Does this mean that God eats,? which means he needs food, and thus making him in need of a digestive system?

@Horus,

I was actually in London at the weekend as I hinted. I'm back now for a while, but sad to say, you really have demonstrated you have a perennial self-defeating problem.

Now can you tell us a bit more of about your "black jesus" whom you have severally called "the true Son of God"?

here we go again! lol

I promised him I would be in London over the weekend. I actually was; but back for a few hours (or possibly days) before I'm away again. This time, after all his slobber vitriol against Christ and the Bible, I simply want to hear his own 'gospel' about his "black jesus" - the one he had severally called "the true Son of God" and yet nobody knows him! 

OK , OK
I guess a new thread or a previous one will do for "the black jesus" of a thing. This should be a thread to write about how God speaks to us, Tellyb, you never can tell , if truly Horus is on the wrong path , maybe he may pick up some new strings to pull here and so hears God speaking to me. 1Corinth.1:18
As for me God will always speak to you in different ways just like others had pointed out. If you didn't realise in an instance, he uses another means-The Scriptures, Sermon, Direct encounter, symbolic occurances even through a mad man!

@richylaw,

I appreciate yours. However, whether or not Horus is on the wrong path is quite a different thing from his actually seeking to learn. If someone has made up his/her mind before examining what he calls FACTS, then it is hightime to take him home for some personal schooling. And I'd like to start here with his theory of a "black jesus" as lesson 1.

Meanwhile, it doesn't stop the flow of the thread topic. Perhaps opening another thread is not going to yield much fruit anyway, because there's absolutely nothing to say on such fallacies.

i have to agree with telly b on this one; from the tone in horus's post, there is no desire to learn, to "DISCUSS" or even debate. they tend to be simply accusations with NO foundation, articles from other sites, and ofcourse, no desire to marry a white woman

Well, i guess one can create an environment through which God can communicate to him; that is by observing a moment of meditation and quietness around you. _{just thinking!}

He's speaking to you through me right now and he said, you're going to eat lunch today, have a bowel movement and go to sleep.
May He bless us all. Ameeeeeeeeeeeeen.
Really you just do what you wanna`do, especially in your subconcious, if results of what you decided is good, you praise God and if its bad you blame it on the devil. born again christians

OK , OK
I guess a new thread or a previous one will do for "the black jesus" of a thing.

Yes there is a special thread for "the black jesus" on Nairaland for those who want to talk about "the black jesus",this will avoid to be out topic.

@Horus,

Horus:

Answer the question here or there, and don't try to be evasive.

If what you hear is in line with the word of God and you have a peace in your heart which is unexplainable then it is God. When God has spoken to you, you are no longer confused, God's voice just settles it just like pmdaboh said about her experience when she was going to Nigeria.

Even if there is a danger ahead and God speaks to you, you will have his peace and his assurance that you will be victorious.

Please understand that God will speak only if you are willing to Obey and you must obey the last word he gave you before you move ahead.

Guess what even i am being blessed as I write this.

Not sure - but like IBDAT it depends on you to deduce.

BTW< here's an interesting blog I found on whether God even exists - it says pretty much the same thing - you have to deduce it.

It makes me feel better about myself that left to my own devices, I deduced that there is a God.

http://www.bathtubreflections.com/ - it is long but worth the read.

You can meet a lot of christians and pastors who has deep convinctions in : www.revivalschool.com     

Keep your hunger burning, it will yield fruit just as mine did. God is able.

See my post im to post somewere oh

@needeeg,

needeeg:

And why does the Christains do not pray in any other language?

Where did you cop out your fallacy from?

@ Topic

I think it will be impossible for an individual to answer that. Go ask your pastor in church. Ok?

marlet01:

If an individual can't answer the question, how would a pastor be able to do so?

Yes really, God do speak to us! I think the only problem with mankind is that when you are too occupied your minds with unnecessary things. And that is why we may not really understand when God speak.

The more closer you are to God, the more you hear Him speak. It could be likened to a child that is always closer the the parent, they understand the parents, even the body odor of the parents!

So dear, be closer to God and you will hear Him speak to you clear and loud!

Remain bless.

My dear, Get familiar with God and you won't miss his voice. You know what he said " My sheep hears my voice and , " you know the rest.

Let me see if i can help a little ,

God speaks through many way and in the Bible most were through Dreams and Vision,

He can speak through his rhema or Logos word,

He can speak through still small voice,

He can speak through an open vision,

He can speak through you in you dream,

He can speak to you through revelation knowledge


OK, but there are still many many ways he do speak,,,

Great replies from y'all. However, when it comes to dreams, people should be very careful as the devil can come in such way too. Which ever way, with time, you get to know how God does get through to you in any of the ways mentioned above by others
