Why Does God Have to Send Me Messages through Other People?

Question

some people come through my life just to teach me a lesson, I'm assuming from God, why can't he just "tell" me what he wants me to know instead having to deal with certain people? And before you say this is a STUPID QUESTION, I ALREADY KNOW I ASK STUPID QUESTIONS TO YOU-BUT THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE YOU ARE SIMPLE-MINDED, hence this question is directed to mature people who actually understand what I am trying to say...thank you very much, and for all the insults, please, I get it, I don't need the bashing one after another, but if you insist, go ahead, I still love you anyway...And to all the grammer, spellcheck bullies, kiss my a** in advance

Answer 1

because God often uses people, and often non-believers, to accomplish His purposes on earth.
I have seen Him use people to answer prayers.
why?
I don't think it really matters, does it?
why all the "why did God do this?" and "why didn't God do that?' questions.
God does not always share His reasons with His
children, just as earthly fathers do not do so.
does "because I said so" sound familiar to you?

Answer 2

Please don’t look at this answer as bashing. I’m serious here, but this may not be something that you want to hear.

Maybe it is because you are not listening to him. Most people don’t know how to listen to him.

1 Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Sometimes the wind and the fire and the earthquake are so loud that we cannot hear him.

Prov 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

That means to think about that he would want you to do before you act.

Don’t get upset that he is using other people to speak to you. Just be glad that he is speaking to you. Be even more glad when you actually learn.

BTW, this is God teaching you something through me.

Answer 3

That's a good question. If there is an all-powerful ruler and creator of the universe, shouldn't he/she/it be able to communicate telepathically with anyone? Why resort to complex, roundabout ways of getting a message to someone when simply speaking to them directly would be much more reliable? If I gave a message to person A to give to person B to give it to person C, by the time it got from A to C, the message could have got mixed up--hence, if I have something important to tell someone, I tell them myself. Yet, we are to believe that God uses the A-->B-->C method of conveying messages. What if C misunderstands the message and reaches the wrong conclusions? Why, then God blames C for the misunderstanding and lets some disaster happen to teach poor C yet another lesson...which could also be misconstrued. God has quite a wretched manner of conveying information.

Hello and welcome to the classroom called LIFE;

How else can one learn how to truly live and make wise judgements unless you experience the trials set before you? A person just doenst simply"accept" the truth, or even advice, esp. when reaching a point in life of obstinance and rigidity, what other way can GOD reach his creation? I know of this old man, in his late 70s, and he continues to do the same thing he has always done since his 30s, he will not change. But he has had so many lessons is unbelieveable. I believe that in the end, people will see all the times that GOD tried to reach them, and being decieved by living under his grace, they think its not possible to lose the salvation because they aere saved. That is for the christians. But life is a classroom, the cheating boyfriend, the spiteful friends...its all intended to so you the fultility of life without righteous living, without GOD, life is a bog round circle, peaks and valleys. Be glad that you are going thru trials, might just mean you are being prepared to receive something.

Answer 5

I don't think your question is intended to start problems so I will answer you in an honest, non smart aleck way.

Most of us have our heads elsewhere and do not pick up on when God is trying to get our attention and as a result do not hear him. He doesn't want to throw down on you like some wild WWE Wrestler to do that. So he sends his people out with the message of the Gospel.

The trouble is - there are so many out there that think they were sent by God and are nothing more than confused folks, and those voices mix in with the real ones - making it difficult to assess who's the moron.

God's message seems like foolishness to many as it is (but it is not) so when you get those who have a foolish message, things get murky.

I hope I explained this to your satisfaction.

Answer 6

God sends us messages each day. Each day that you are alive is a message. Every time you stop and smell the roses or see the beautiful green grass it is a message. Not in the speaking sort of message but still a message none the less. Sometimes when you get that gut feeling "gee should I really do this", that could be a message by form of your conscience saying you shouldnt be doing that.

Answer 7

God wants to teach you personally. Jesus quoted a passage from the Prophet Isaiah, "all your children shall be taught of the Lord." His primary method of teaching comes through the Scriptures:
"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and become convinced of, because you know those from whom you have learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. All Scripture is God-breathed, and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (II Timothy 3:14-17)

The teaching of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey, and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them Thy servant is warned;
And in keeping them, there is great reward." (Psalm 19:7-11)

Answer 8

I think sometimes God sends messages through other people not because we need the message, but maybe they do! Sometimes I help others, but in the end, it was exactly what I needed. I hope that makes sense, I just pulled a 9 hour shift,LOL!

Answer 9

I have had a lady move in next to me and tell me she was sent to talk to me about something I was afraid of. I never told a soul but she was sent from god to tell me. Now I wondering too why me what makes me so special to send an ANGEL to tell me something. I always HEAR him and I always listen but he is always sending me people that I have never met before and they are always saying they were sent to tell me this and frankly really Its odd! I love god and I will always love him and I believe but why me!!!

Answer 10

I believe that God uses other people to send messages because when Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, they and all their descendants (mankind), were cast out of the garden and were no longer able to communicate directly with God in the sense that He rarely spoke to them with a voice they could hear. God has only appeared to a select few in this manner, in order to get their attention with regard to a very specific, important task that He wanted them to do.

God also uses others to deliver His messages to us because it blesses others to be used as an instrument of God, but also because He wants us to believe in Him by faith - not because we can actually see and hear Him. He wants us to trust Him and believe in Him without visual or audible proof of His existence. By seeing His love for us through the way He sees us through a trying experience, or the way He takes care of even the little things in life, or by the way that someone comes along and says or does "just the right thing", JUST at the time we need it, then this helps us to grow in our faith and therefore to grow in our relationship with Him. God DOES speak to our hearts though. When we pray, if we sincerely seek Him, He does speak to our hearts. When a thought pops into our head and we are not sure where it came from, but we know in our gut that it came from God, then as long as that thought is not a destructive thought (i.e. "God told me to kill my baby..."), we can figure that God might be speaking to our heart. The sure way to know is to continually talk to God, and pay attention to the stirrings in your heart, so that you will know when He is answering you. Sometimes His answer is not conversational, but more like an idea that comes to your mind, or a solution to a problem. Anyway, to answer your question, God doesn't have to send messages through other people. He chooses to because that seems to be the most effective way of getting through to us in a manner which will increase our faith and trust in Him. I hope this helps.
