We must never think of God as being a “chatty” person. But at the same time, we must not think of Him as being silent. He does communicate to His own. There is the potential of fellowship with God, and fellowship requires communication. The primary means for our Lord to communicate with us is through the Scripture. However, the Bible does not preclude any other form of communication. God does speak immediately and directly and His voice is knowable. It is truly self-authenticating. Does He speak this way often? No, but we should not rule it out.
