There are an amazing variety of ways God communicates to humans: Animal and bird parade at the time of Noah, Balaam's talking donkey, Gideon's fleece, Urim and Thumin on God's high priest breast plate for yes and no answers, Pillar of cloud, Dream of barley loaf rolling into camp, burning bush, burning food Gideon offered the angel, moving branches of mulberry trees, mirage of blood in water trenches, hail, fire, thunder, grasshoppers, oppressive painful darkness, water to blood, frogs, earthquakes, wind, blinding light flashes to Saul on way to Damascus, light over sanctuary ark, vine growing up for shade over Jonah, big fish submarine carrier of unwilling prophet, events of streams and rivers parting to let God's people through, heavy iron ax floats on water, poisonous water turned sweet with salt, poisonous soup made harmless, specific words from enemy's mouth for Jonathan's signal, hand writing on the wall, rainbow signal of hope ... and the list goes on.

God has spoken to me in many ways. I have claimed the promise of Isaiah 30:20 And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

And He has directed the path through out my life. Psalms 121:8 Lord guards going and coming, keeps my soul and protects from all evil

If I regard iniquity the Lord will not hear me but He has heard… Isaiah 66

I praise and honor the God of heaven, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. My God. The ONE who has always been and always will be. The ONE who designed the 10 commandments for perfect relationships. The ONE who expects obedience. I give my everything to HIM. My time, my talents, my problems, my inadequacies and imperfections, my profession, my education, my goals, and He brings me great joy and satisfaction.

In the same way as my husband gives me signals of his care for me over the past 30 years, there is variety in the ways God shows His concerns and directions for my life. My favorite way of getting love signals from my husband is red roses, hugs, and help. I have favorite ways that God answers me that I ask for more than other ways. I can think of 17 different ways He has has spoken to me. My favorite is listed last. The stories are endless. You can find them all in the two web sites on answered prayers. There's over 131 stories written.

1. He gives just the right promise for the needs of the day.

2. He leads to counsel just right for the problem at hand. While praying and asking for Divine counsel, God often helps my Bible pages to be turned just perfect for the needed promise or directives.

3. He sent hail and thunder from the sky exactly when I spoke word hail while preaching the gospel about the plagues of judgment.

4. Rocks. Another signal to me from heaven happened with a few flat rocks that never had any snow on them because I told Him they were a symbol of my hope that He would soon answer me with a TV cabin studio to film programs for children. This little stack of flat rocks were piled up as a signal to heaven I trust in His leading.

5. God helped me in my marriage decision at age 19 by leading the evangelism team pastor to share ways that God speaks to us. He said dedicated godly parents can speak for God to us. Then God reminded me of these words while I prayed out under a tree. This sign of words from the mouth of others showed me what to do.

6. Providential leadings. God has timed the sale of our home, business office, sale of front lawn to a neighbor and many other incidents. His wisdom in timing is crucial to the best outcome. Once He had a pastor in India send the preferred date for gospel meetings while I prayed for God to tell me when to go. He used the hand of this India pastor asking for meetings. When I said "amen", the email was there even though the day and nights are opposite on the other side of the world.

7. Impressions to pray for others in danger. Strong impressions have come to pray for people in danger like my brother doing missionary work in New Guinea. His school was being caught on fire and I did not know just had a strong impression to pray. God kept them safe in the violent uprising. Another time God asked me to pray for my son Kyle. I did and in a few minutes he had been held at knife point.

8. Expressions of His love are seen in flowers He created. He placed roses in every valley of my life. (literally and emotionally)

9. In bird songs

10 Beauties of nature all show His care and handiwork.

11. He has always provided food for myself and my family. (Even when we went through job losses, critical health issues where I faced death and had to hold still in bed for months during pregnancy, and bankruptcy)

12. He has always provided shelter. (Even during bankruptcy when we lived in tents, we had tents. We had land to put the tents on, and a car to go crowd into when the rain drenched our beds)

13. He provided friends who loved us and would visit us when living in tents and a poor leaky shelter. He did this when family turned from us during our losses. He provided pets with unconditional love to fill the emptiness. Loving arms of friends were God's arms about us.

14. God has placed His body guard about me, protected, carried me, and fed my soul to the brim with happiness. He has used humans to help.

15. He strengthened me when I had no more energy to work for Him.

16. He kept me cool in 130 degree weather in India, wearing 5 garments of sanctuary teaching robes of the high priest. Birds were falling from the trees, bats also fell dead. People were dying from the heat but He kept me so only felt the extreme heat on my face. God communicated His love and presence in these ways.

17. He gave rainbows to comfort during our tears and storms of life. He who formed the laws of physics can do as He likes to tell Noah not to worry about his children. (Gen. 9:12-17 sign of God's covenant);

to declare to the prophet John that Jesus is in control Rev. 10:1;

to be above each praying saint in the end . The rainbow comforts God's praying people and alarms and frightens the unbelievers. (GC p. 347)

This rainbow, though counterfeit meanings have been applied, will be above the coming King Jesus in the clouds as a witness it is Jesus not the imposter in the sky. In answer to the prayer of faith, God has placed rainbows as a signal to answer my request for directives.
