7 <\/sup>Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing Yet, in the current times that we are living in, there don’t seem to be any prophets to whom God speaks directly. We might consider our pastors as people who know God’s direction, but can they confidently tell us which direction we must go in? Or can our church leaders prevent us from getting into accidents by warning us beforehand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes we can rely on them, but the Bible also shows us other ways in which God speaks to people. In this post, let us look at some major ways in which God reveals His will to us. You might find that if you tune into God’s frequency, God has many things to say to each of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the main ways God speaks to people is through His word. In the Bible, the four gospels all contain Jesus’ words and instruction on how we need to live to be children of God. According to the Bible, God is<\/em> the word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 <\/strong>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.<\/p>\nJohn 1:1<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n And God’s word was made flesh through the coming of Jesus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14 <\/sup>The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.<\/p>\nJohn 1:14<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Therefore, for the best instruction and wisdom, we can simply read the four gospels. In fact, some historical figures have made important choices that influenced the outcome of nations, based on Jesus’ words. One of the most famous is Abraham Lincoln, who read that,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 25 <\/sup>Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, \u201cEvery kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.<\/p>\nMatthew 12:25<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Based on a revelation from reading this scripture, the US President Lincoln realised that America might enter a civil war if he does not abolish slavery. Lincoln then instituted the Emancipation Act, which eventually led to the ban on slave trade in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another fascinating phenomenon is dreams, which appear over 100 times in the Bible. Perhaps one of the most famous dreamers is Joseph. According to the Bible, Joseph had two significant dreams. After sharing his dreams with his brothers, they sold him to Egypt as a slave:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 <\/sup>Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. 6 <\/sup>He said to them, \u201cListen to this dream I had: 7 <\/sup>We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.\u201d<\/p>\nGenesis 37:5-7<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Joseph’s second dream is similar to the first:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 <\/sup>Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. \u201cListen,\u201d he said, \u201cI had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.\u201d<\/p>\nGenesis 37:9<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n A few chapters later, while Joseph is in prison after Potiphar’s wife wrongly accuses him of assaulting her, he interprets the dreams of the baker and the King’s cup-bearer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9 <\/sup>So the chief cupbearer told Joseph his dream. He said to him, \u201cIn my dream I saw a vine in front of me, 10 <\/sup>and on the vine were three branches. As soon as it budded, it blossomed, and its clusters ripened into grapes. 11 <\/sup>Pharaoh\u2019s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh\u2019s cup and put the cup in his hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 12 <\/sup>\u201cThis is what it means,\u201d Joseph said to him. \u201cThe three branches are three days. 13 <\/sup>Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh\u2019s cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer.<\/p>\nGenesis 40:9-13<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Finally, when Pharaoh, King of Egypt, has a dream that can change the fate of his nation, Joseph interprets it for him and saves Egypt from a severe 7-year famine. Because of his deeds, Pharaoh makes Joseph Prime Minister of Egypt, and 21 years later, his dreams about the grain and the stars are fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way, if human beings are able to interpret the dreams that God sometimes gives us, it can change the course of our lives. In fact, a meaningful dream could even save our lives, or the lives of our families or nations. Of course, the issue of dreams is interpreting them accurately, like Joseph does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
