Is it possible for God to operate beyond conventional methods, such as speaking audibly to individuals? He has the power to do as He pleases. It is just as erroneous to associate any actions of God with evil as it is to doubt the possibility of divine communication. Throughout the history of the church, there have been instances of Revivals where the legitimacy of experiences involving hearing voices or strong impressions was debated. Edwards conducted a study on these occurrences, with some questioning the validity of such experiences and dismissing them as fanaticism.

The traditional belief regarding the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the Bible is that the Spirit uses the written word to impart knowledge and truth to the mind in a direct manner. The Trinitarian nature of the word means that it carries the essence of God and has the power to bring life to the listener through the Spirit. It is believed that hearing the word is akin to hearing the voice of God himself. The practice of reading the Bible together as a community of believers is seen as essential, as it is believed that the word has a unique impact when read in this setting as opposed to in private. This communal reading on the Sabbath is said to have a transformative effect that is not replicated in private reading, and the act of private reading enhances the experience of communal reading. The rhythm of reading and reflecting on the word throughout the week culminates in a special experience on the Sabbath, likened to reaching the climax of a musical composition. This is viewed as a holistic way in which God communicates to the heart of believers.

During meditation, there is a unique experience of God's presence that goes beyond simply learning new information or discovering truths. This communication is mysterious and brings a sense of assurance by allowing the teachings of Christ to shape our understanding, leading to a sense of His spiritual presence within us. It feels as though He is actively working within us, guiding us in all things.
