In the beginning, when I was a new Christian, I read the bible as if it was a book just like any other book which I used to read in the past. No one told me the bible could speak to me. No one introduce me to the bible as a spirit-filled book that could speak to me literally. It took a while before the bible spoke to me, something like 2 years. Yes, the bible speaks. This is the hidden truth. Many Christians do not experience the bible speaking to them in their present situation. When I first came to the Lord, I had five crises. It was devastating; my entire world and life views came crashing down. Everything that I had built based on my understanding did not go as planned. The only thing that helped me was my early childhood exposure to God. I was schooled in a Presbyterian Mission school. It gave me the basic knowledge that when we prayed to Jesus he would answer us.

They didn't teach me that the bible could speak to me. The Bible is alive and it speaks to you. For those who do not think that this is a gift, I am now proclaiming this simple fact to you. If you cannot access God directly, your only hope is to read the best bible. And before you open the bible, pray and speak to it, asked that you open to the right pages so that God can speak to you through the words therein. This is not hocus-pocus; God will guide you to the very pages that he shall begin to speak to you. Nothing can happen by chance unless God has ordained it, no event can take its place without permission from God. This is Truth.

Matthew 7:7King James Version (KJV)

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

The very best gift that God can give to any person is his active Rhema Word. The Rhema word is an active word from the voice of the Lord. The Bible is the Logos word of God, unless it is quickened by the Spirit of the Lord, it remains a static word, not a Rhema. That means the word is not in season. The Rhema is the Spirit-filled season word that will manifest its intended meaning. It contains the creative power of God to manifest blessings. For most people, their ears have not been opened spiritually so the best and simplest way God can communicate with them is through the bible verses. I do not mean the logos or the static word, I mean the words that will stick out of the bible and speak to your spirit man. It touches your soul and your heart literally. You will feel it talking to you in your particular situation when you seek the Lord's answer sincerely. Jesus said, "My words are spirit and they are life".

Psalm 91, also says he who dwells in the shelter of the Almighty, shall be protected by him. So how can anyone dwell in his shelter, where is the shelter of God? It is in abiding by his words, which we dwell in his shelter. Only when we abide in him then he protects us from danger and harm. You cannot just read the bible; you need to do and practice what it says. Then you are building your house, your soul on a solid Rock and when the storm of life comes, you shall not be swept away. Many Christians don't spend time reading the bible; they attend church on a Sunday and expect God to do the rest for them. They never wait on his doorways, they had no time for God, so God had no time for them, their worship of him is but man-made rules and regulations. These Christians fall away when the testing of the word comes, they had no roots because they are not good soil. And the word of God cannot take its root; they did not connect to the One True Vine, Jesus (Yahushua), the Word of God. You need to spend time in the word of God before you can move in the power of the Holy Spirit.

This same word came three times when I opened my bible that same week he didn't honor his contractual work to me.

I choose these three examples not because God spoke to me only these three times. I used these examples to show that God will tell his servant what is to come. He provides us his guidance on the situation in the world, our friends, and our enemies. There were many words spoken to me either through the bible or through his voice. This article is written for those who do not understand the need to read the bible daily. The word of the Lord gave me peace and confidence, as he has already warned me of things to come so I avoid the places of wrath and I prepare against those who will betray me or come against me. I didn't just pick these verses to show God speaking to me, but that God speaks to me using these verses.
