The Heaven Answer Book

Does God speak to us from Heaven?

G od speaks to the human heart. I have never heard the voice of the Lord audibly, but the Lord has spoken to me many times throughout my life. So how do we recognize His voice? We must first belong to Him. The Bible says, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37 nkjv ). God’s voice is not bound by man’s schemes or inventions. God speaks through the Bible, His written Word. This is why I frequently use the phrase the Bible says. The authors of Scripture made it clear that God was speaking to them and through them. More than three thousand times they said, “Thus saith the Lord” or its equivalent. And because “all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16), we must not let anything or anyone take the place of the Bible to guide our lives.
