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

Bible study is taking an active step into learning about God and Jesus Christ. Knowing what is said, and how to understand and put it into practice. Fellowship is partly enjoying other believers’ company while sharing faith and what has been learned from the bible, and seeing how this equates to the application of the scriptures. Prayer works alone with study and fellowship, to build strong relational wellbeing with God, listening for his voice, and doing His Will, while communicating to God our needs, wants, and most importantly our Love, Praise, and Worship in a personal way. Like a father to a child (parents) to a Creator of all things that listens to his children when they follow His Ways, commands, and precepts.
As to different forms of spiritual communication, are they different, yes only in the way they are done, and no as they all serve to help us understand God and His will and what He wants for us in this life? Once you ask for forgiveness, and start your life as a Christian, Study of the word, prayer, and fellowship all work together to create in us a strong connection to God and to learn His way, commands, precepts, and what is to be expected as believers in Christ.Define:
Bible Study: Bible study is simply the analysis of the Bible. The type of analysis (study, understanding) really depends on the reader and his/her purpose for studying the Bible.(https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-bible-study.html) My reason for bible study is to learn more about God, and how to use His teachings, commands, regulations to be a better Christian and to please my Father in Heaven.Fellowship: Fellowship is first the sharing together in a common life with other believers through a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Fellowship is first and foremost a relationship, rather than an activity. The principle is that any activity that follows should come out of the relationship. Acts 2:42 They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer. (https://bible.org/article/christian-fellowship) My opinion on fellowship is the gathering of same like believers in Christ, sharing views, and enjoying one another’s company, and building of trust and love for one another.
Prayer: Prayer is spiritual communication between man and God, a two-way relationship in which man should not only talk to God but also listen to Him. Prayer to God is like a child’s conversation with his father. It is natural for a child to ask his father for the things he needs. (https://billygraham.org/answer/what-is-prayer/) Personally, I also would say that prayer allows me to have that special time with God, where it’s not interrupted by outside issues and where I can be myself without the worry of Judgment.
Study+Fellowship+Prayer does not equal difference, but rather a building of one’s faith, knowledge of understanding of God, His Will, and what I need to do as a Believer in Christ.

They are always we communicate with God. Bible study helps us to know his word, and his nature and what he asks of us to do and not do. Fellowship is our quite time with God to hear from him to be comforted and even corrected by him. Prayer is us talking to God.

I think that in each of the areas mentioned, God speaks to us through His word, by the Holy Spirit.

Bible Study = We hear God voice
Fellowship = We commune with one another and encourage one another to good works
Prayer = We speak to God -
Bible study is the word of God, fellowship is sharing beliefs with each other and supporting growth, prayer is the communication through the Holy Spirit with God.
