Another way that the Spirit speaks to us is through prayer. Prayer is a conversation. You speak to God and He speaks back to you. He wants to know us and to talk to us. It’s a relationship. He uses the Holy Spirit that indwells us to speak to us and to teach us. Prayer allows the Holy Spirit to adjust us to God’s ways.
Read John 16:12-15
