Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication. Studying God’s Word is the primary way that God communicates to us – We learn about who He is, what He expects of us, and how He works in the lives of people. Prayer is our primary way to communicate and converse with God and it comes in many forms; written/journaling prayers, singing, down on our knees or flat on our face in agony, or just a quick question/request/or acknowledgement of His working in our lives. Through fellowship with other followers of Christ, we are encouraged and built up, sometimes convicted by the Holy Spirit when we hear testimony of what God is teaching each other, and we are given the opportunity to speak truth into the other’s lives as well.

Bible study is not only gaining knowledge of who God is and His redemptive plan for His children but it also communicates to us through His Word. His Word is God-breathed (II Timothy 3:16) and, through the Holy Spirit teaches us, rebukes us, strengthens us, and establishes us. As His Word speaks to us, it also brings to our hearts and minds those things that need to be address and gives us the privilege of communicating back to Him.

Through Bible study, we learned who God is, what He has done for us, God reveal Himself to us: we commune with God.
Through fellowship, we interact with one another (believer or non-believer): sharing the good news about Christ.
And prayer is our means to communicate with God. -
Bible study is hearing God through His Word. Fellowship is communication with believers about Jesus Christ and to non believers about Jesus Christ. Prayer is communicating to God or talking and listening to God
