VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. In the past, GOD spoke to our forefathers through the prophets
"In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets"
Prophets means "foretellers", "inspired speaker", "poet"
Numbers 11:29 (The Message)
11:29 But Moses said, "Are you jealous for me? Would that all God's people were prophets. Would that God would put his Spirit on all of them."
Amos 3:7 (The Message)
3:7 The fact is, God, the Master, does nothing without first telling his prophets the whole story.
2 Kings 20:14 (The Message)
20:14 And then Isaiah the prophet showed up: "And just what were these men doing here? Where did they come from and why?" Hezekiah said, "They came from far away—from Babylon."
The author was referring to the Old Testament consisting of the Law (Pentateuch) and the Prophets. One example is Isaiah the prophet. Before GOD does not move before telling it to His Prophets, His Messengers of Old Testament.
B. GOD spoke many times
"at many times"
GOD spoke many times and He has proof on it. Even when Adam and Eve sinned, GOD spoke to them.
Genesis 3:9 (The Message)
3:9 God called to the Man: "Where are you?"
He spoke to us thru dreams and visions in the Old Testament.
Acts 2:17 (The Message)
2:17 "In the Last Days," God says, "I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters; Your young men will see visions, your old men dream dreams.
GOD spoke to us thru His creations.
Romans 1:20 (The Message)
1:20 By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can't see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse.
C. GOD spoke in various ways
"and in various ways,"
It was already given, GOD spoke thru His laws, GOD spoke thru the prophets, thru dreams and visions, thru people who lived in the Old Testament, thru Psalms and Proverbs, thru His creations, so no one has an excuse.
Now in the New Testament of Grace, GOD spoke to us thru His HOLY SPIRIT in the last days.
2 Peter 1:21 (The Message)
1:21 And why? Because it's not something concocted in the human heart. Prophecy resulted when the Holy Spirit prompted men and women to speak God's Word.
Joel 2:28 (The Message)
2:28 "And that's just the beginning: After that— "I will pour out my Spirit on every kind of people: Your sons will prophesy, also your daughters. Your old men will dream, your young men will see visions.
GOD speaks thru our pastoral leaders.
Hebrews 13:7 (The Message)
13:7 Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all.
IX. CONCLUSION:
GOD speaks thru His Words, Are you listening?
Jeremiah 1:12 (The Message)
1:12 And God said, "Good eyes! I'm sticking with you. I'll make every word I give you come true."
