God the Father speaks to us through the Holy Spirit who lives within us. The Bible tells us that we can fellowship with the Holy Spirit who is our teacher, guide, and counsellor. That is why the Bible tells us that we can have fellowship with the Holy Spirit:
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
Biblical Examples Of God Communicating Through The Holy Spirit
God revealed to Peter the apostle that he was to go to the household of a non-Jew named Cornelius. This visit would have been forbidden to religious Jews but God wanted to show Peter that salvation was not just for Jews alone but for all humanity. God spoke to Peter through the Holy Spirit:
"While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Simon, three men are looking for you. So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent you to them.'" Acts 10:19-20
God revealed to forewarn Paul the apostle of the opposition and suffering that he would soon encounter. This communication from God strengthened the apostle Paul's resolve to serve God to the end:
"Now compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Acts 20: 22-24
Application
Let's believe, not only with our minds, but also with all our hearts that the Holy Spirit is our counsellor, guide, and teacher. He will teach us all things! (1 John 2:27) We need to quieten our spirit and hear the voice of God through His Spirit. We need to believe that God desires to fellowship with us today. We need to believe that His Spirit is still speaking the 'now' word of God for our lives.
