Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.

Studying the Bible is that God speaks to us. Prayer is a way that we communicate with God. Fellowship with other believers is how God uses us and others to build up His church (the believers).

Generally speaking – the Bible is God communicating to me, prayer is communicating to God, and fellowship is communication between other born-again Christians.

They are all different yet all work together. We need to study the Word on our own but also with other believers to grow spiritually hear from God. Prayer is our way of speaking to God. For communication it must be a two way street with listening and speaking to God.

The Lord speaks in many ways, but He is ALWAYS speaking. The surest way to commune with and hear from God is His written Word; every time we open it, He speaks! God will also use other Spirit-filled believers to speak through as we fellowship with them. And prayer is the cement that holds it all together. The Lord is eager to speak to us as sons and daughters, but if we never take time to hear His voice we never will.

Bible studies are small groups growing in the Word and knowledge of God through the Lord. Fellowship can be spiritual communication when centered on Jesus Christ. Prayer is personal spiritual communication with Jesus. It’s our direct channel to the Lord – listening and speaking.
