 "He's a living God, a talking God, and He still speaks" |
David's writings reveal a deep faith in a
living, moving and ever-changing God Who wants to communicate with and guide His Children
just as clearly and directly today as He did with the first Christians in the Book of
Acts. David refused to be bound by centuries of church dogmatism and tradition, and boldly
encouraged his followers to exercise their faith and hear from God themselves. He wrote: "The age-old means of God's Heavenly communication with all of His people has always been by oral and mental messages and dreams and visions and Heavenly pictures and messages and thoughts, projected directly by His spirits and His angelic messengers in moods of meditation and prayer and trance, that wonderful borderline of the spirit where the soul has one foot in Heaven! … We're God's lightning rods to ground His Heavenly bolts to earthly man and shock them into the realization of Heavenly things!" [88] "God didn't stop speaking at the end of our present Bible, … but that's what some churches teach!" [89] "Some [people] think, 'Well, that's enough, that's all we need! God hasn't spoken since then, that's why we haven't added anything to the Bible. God doesn't speak any more, He doesn't talk any more. …' Well, those people really worship a pretty dead God and a very inactive, untalkative God! "He's not a silent God Who shut up when the Bible was finished 2,000 years ago, He's a living God, a talking God, and He still speaks and has been speaking ever since then! -- Talking to His people and His prophets and His children down through the ages, ever since the days of Jesus and His Apostles and the Early Church."
