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

Each of those activities revolves around speaking to Lord whether it’s direct communication with him in prayer or speaking with our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as Him speaking to us in His word.

The Bible says God’s word is a lamp unto our feet, a light unto our path. It is where we receive guidance and direction for living our new life in Christ. It is also where God shows us his plan of redemption for all from the beginning. God speaks to us through his word. It is our spiritual food that we can grow thereby.
When we pray, we talk to our heavenly Father. He often answers us in his word, or in a still, small voice. We can know it is him talking to us because the voice will never contradict the word. Just as a baby cries, because it cannot yet speak, a mother answers. So with God. But he does not want us to remain as babies. The more we read his word and talk with him in pray, the more we grow like him and get to know him better.
As to fellowship, we can learn from one another. Someone more mature may have an experience to share that can encourage us in our walk with God. Also, God may use another person to answer our prayer. It is beautiful to know we are in a big family. We also grow by learning how to deal with differences within the body of Christ. -
Studying the Bible will help me prepare to witness to others about Jesus Christ. Fellowship with other Christians will help me to understand the word so that I can witness. Prayer is my communication with God – asking for his guidance in sharing his Word.

The different forms of spiritual communication can cause spiritual growth in a believer in Christ. Also, the different forms can give us confidence in being a witness for non-believers.

God speaks to us through scripture, He speaks to us through other believers who prepare us to naturally share our faith with others and we speak with Him in prayer and praise. Full circle of communication.
