" HOW GOD COMMUNICATE TO US TODAY: "
Before we go into the study. I would like to say: If you pick up your cell phone and told somebody that this phone is connected to a satellite some place in space. If the person is from some dark continent who have no knowledge of electronic advancement.
The person might say\" I do not see any thing connected to this phone\" Gone is the days of \"Seen before I can believe\" You cannot see the current that are in the line, but touch it, and you will feel pain.
HOW DOES GOD COMMUNICATE TO US:
Hebrews 1:1-AV God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hebrews 1:2-AV 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 GOD DO NOT COME OUT AND SPEAK TO US MAN TO MAN?
We are not holy enough for us to hear the voice of God, the way we would hear another man\'s voice. Even when Jesus was on earth, his full glory was somewhat hidden, in order for him to operate among men. God have to use many other ways to communicate to us. So has not to frighten us to death.
HE SPOKEN TO US BY HOLY MEN:
GOD SPAKE TO US BY THE WRITTEN WORDS:
URIM AND TUMMING:
The Urim and Tumming was a little box like a match box, that have a leather strop attach to it and was wear around the high priest forehead. In this box was strips of parchment, with scriptures verses and other phrase like\" Go up\" Do not go up\"\" Guilty\"\" Not guilty\" True\"\" False\" etc. If a king want to know if he must go to war, he would inquire at the high priests, which would pray and take out one of the script and read it like a promise box. If God had spoken, every time the same answer would have come out of the box, no matter how it was shuffled.
Nehemiah 7:65-AV And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood [up] a priest with Urim and Thummim.
LOTS:
Lot was done like dice, if God has spoken the same sets of numbers would have came each time. Then if the people still have doubt, God would sent a prophet to confirm it
THE LAW AND THE PROPHET LASTED UNTIL JOHN:
God spake to the people by the Law of Moses and by the prophets, but all these was in force until the coming of John Baptist.
BY HIS SON JESUS. BY THE APOSTLES.
IN OUR TIME BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BY THE WRITTEN WORDS, AND THE CHURCH:
HOW DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT COMMUNICATE TO US TODAY:
BY THE WRITTEN AND SPOKEN WORD.
BY PROPHECY.
God still uses New Testament prophets in the church today, but many of them speak out of their own hearts, therefore you have to do like what Mary do in St Luke 2:19. She kept all those things and ponder them in her hearts. If what they say is of God, it will come to pass, are flunk.
BY CIRCUMSTANCE.
EXAMPLES:
You are trying to move into a certain neighborhood, but you know the neighborhood is full of racist people, who will make life bitter for you. What do you think God is saying to you?
Do you sleep in a toilet? Are do you sleep on a bed that is roach infested? Do you have sex with a person you know have venereal disease? So why should you want to put your life and the life of your children in jeopardy by living among evil people?
I went to a church one night, their was some young people there who were going off to collage, the pastor bring a prophecy trying to discourage the young people from going to collage. If you have no education in today world what king of life do you expect to have?
You go into a restaurant, you are a black person. The restaurant do not have one black person working in there, what does this tell you? I went to a dentist who was filling all my teeth that does not need filling, one of my people who was employed there, give me a look at the exray, and show me that my teeth never have a cavity, \"The beast boy is braking up your mouth on purpose\" Run\"
THIS THING IS FROM ME SAITH THE LORD:
Psalms 34:7-AV The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
ARE YOU LISTENING?
Job 35:10-AV But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Job 35:11-AV Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
Isaiah 1:18-AV Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Acts 4:12-AV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Isaiah 53:1-AV Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Isaiah 53:2-AV For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. Isaiah 53:3-AV He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:4-AV Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:5-AV But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:6-AV All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
THE END.
