God has innumerable ways to communicate with us. He can use angels, dreams, or burning bushes. But one of His preferred methods is through other people. God is not dependent upon people. If He wanted to ensure that we received a pure, undiluted, word straight from His own mouth, He could use a more reliable source.
God works through people because He has created us to be interdependent. He does not intend for us to function independently of others. To fully know God’s will, we must listen to the Body of Christ. Those who isolate themselves or who become defensive when people express concerns to them will miss out on significant opportunities to understand God’s will.
Who have you connected your life with that can relay divine messages to you? Are you listening to what they are saying? Be careful you do not tune out what others are telling you in your desire to hear a word from God. God may be sending His message to you through the mouth of one of your friends.
