This week, we are going to look at the last category of Old Testament books: the prophets. Each prophet is widely accepted as the author of the book named after him. The specific role of the prophets was to call Israel to repentance when they sinned. The prophets warned God’s people of judgment if they didn’t stop turning their back on God, all while reminding them that God will extend them mercy and hope and future restoration.
Today, let’s look at an overview of the books that make up the major prophets:
God communicates through me by giving me a name in my head of giving me a feeling in my body to pray for a certain person. And it usually happens the day I see them I just get this thought in my head that I need to pray for them.
I feel that God communicates with me in several ways. It can be through reading His Word, through other people young and old, through activities I am doing (He even communicated through raking my lawn!), etc. For me, it is just in going through life being willing to hear Him.
Situations. Strangers. Family Members. Bible study. Sermons. Devotions. God appears to us in many ways and speaks through our situations. We are such a blessed people that He cares enough to show up in our DAILY circumstances.
I have heard God speak to me clearly at times and found comfort, guidance and hope in difficult and sometimes yet to come situations. I have also heard from others…His children who have shared a word of hope especially from God and for me and have been blessed. But truly I must add that I have heard from God so often through His word [both read and spoken in sermons] that continues to guide and direct my life in amazing ways. There is no way I could overestimate the gift of opening God’s word and receiving a "right now" message whose timing is beyond earthly comprehension.
He communicates to me through prayer and answered requests, no matter what that answer may be. He uses others to talk to me, example my Pastor every weekend in church. I need to learn to sit still and hear Him in my most hectic times.
His Word- but also worship music. In prayer, and also in everyday encounters and conversations with others. By answering prayers, whether it be a "yes" "no" or "not now", I love hearing His answers and seeing what His plan has in store for me through each day I have.

He communicates with me through impressions in my heart and a prompting by His spirit leading me in the way I should go. When I allow myself to be quiet, He does speak to me, I always try to write those words in my journal.
Dreams, visions and prayer, I can hear G0d’s heart speaking through my mouth.
for me personally God communicates with me in everyday life. there’s times when I feel conviction about certain things and I know that’s the holy Spirit prompting me to make a change. I know this part sounds kind of crazy but sometimes when I’m having a bad day I can just find little inklings of God’s love for me all around me whether it be in a beautiful sky and a pretty flower that I see the right worship song that comes on just something comes to me and I know that it’s from my father
