Does God still speak?
I've been wrestling with something for the last 9-12 months. I believe that God might have been speaking something to me. My problem? I'm not sure if, or how, God speaks to people. I know that God speaks using the Bible and that people can receive hope and joy from reading the Word. That's not what I'm referencing. I'm speaking of a specific message dealing with the future.
A prophecy.
Sometimes I wonder if I am engaging in a practice of confirmation bias. I have a theory and so whenever I see evidence to support my theory I remember it, but when I see evidence that doesn't support my theory I don't remember it. The danger of confirmation bias is real. That's the primary reason I'm struggling. I don't want to be one of those crazy people that preaches on the street corner that God is giving them a message.
On the other hand, I don't want to be like the people in Jeremiah 42. In point of fact, Jeremiah 42-44 was the passage I read yesterday. It struck me. Am I being like them? Is God speaking to me? I don't know, but I feel I'm drawing closer to the truth.
Does God still speak?
I hope so.
