1. The Holy Spirit Speaks through the Bible

Paul: “Pray for us that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.” Colossians 4:3
2. The Holy Spirit Speaks through Prayer
Romans 8:26, “In certain ways we are weak, but the Spirit is here to help us. For example, when we don’t know what to pray for, the Spirit prays for us in ways that can’t be put into words."
Paul: “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.” Colossians 4:2
“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you. He is always wrestling in his prayers on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in everything that God wills.” Colossians 4:12

"The Church is the Congregation, or Assembly, of all the people who have been called out of the world by God."
