In the past, God spoke many times and in many ways. Through dreams, visions, and prophecies, He used dedicated servants that were separated from sin to convey His will.

Through His Son Jesus, He not only confirmed the ancient prophecies but also announced the coming of the Kingdom of God and how to enter into it.

After His death, resurrection and ascension, the Lord Jesus sent the Comforter to continue the work of Salvation.

Today, the Spirit of God continues to speak. He no longer does this through dreams, visions, or prophecies but through His Word – the Holy Bible.

So the question arises: what is the gift of prophecy?

But he who prophesies speaks EDIFICATION and EXHORTATION and COMFORT to men. I Corinthians 14.3

As you can see, the gift of prophecy is not to guess or predict a person’s future. Instead, it is to edify, exhort, and comfort the Church.

How does the Holy Spirit speak?

How can you be sure of His voice?

How can you not be fooled by other voices?

There is only one way: to be born of water and Spirit, this way you achieve the nature of God and can understand His Word.

Only those born of the Spirit have Spirit to recognize when He speaks through the Bible. Many Christians (born of the flesh) have been deceived by the spirits of the antichrist during biblical interpretation!

Notice the relationship between the Father and the Son, in the words of Jesus:

No one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Matthew 11.27

The voice, direction, or inspiration of the Holy Spirit, through the Bible, leaves no room for doubt for anyone that listens. Especially, for His children.

The problem is that there isn’t always an attentive ear to listen to His voice.

God speaks.

He speaks to His children and others as well.

He speaks through His written Word.

He speaks through His true servants while they preach (prophecy) the Gospel.

God also uses the opportunity to speak through everyday problems.

His sweet and kind voice has been strong in the desert. The greater the loneliness, the greater and higher is His voice.
