Yes He does. Just turn from your sins and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. God will give you the Holy Ghost, God Himself, living in you. He will speak to you in many different ways. Sometimes in a dream, a vision, through other people, and sometimes you can even hear His voice. Just keep seeking Him, read and obey your Bible. We must believe that God is God and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. I will pray for you. Have a good night and God Bless.

Speak to Jesus as you would a close friend. Know that He hears you and take comfort in His love.
As to whether or not He will answer, there is no answer for that, Jesus is Jesus and no man can answer for Him.
Remember though, when Jesus came back to life after His death, He first appeared to the women, then to others, and last He appeared to His disciples.
What this means to us is this; The disciples did not believe that Jesus appeared because they thought they were special to Him and therefore if Jesus rose again He would appear to them first. But Jesus did not want to start the church with that type of attitude so He appeared to others first and later rebuked the disciples for their unbelief.
Jesus made a clear statement in this, He said, all who believe in me are special, and that includes those who you don't know and those who you know. Jesus doesn't respect a person because they are somebody, He loves us all equally and in the same way. So just open up your heart and talk to him like you would your mom or close friend. He loves you as much as he loved Peter, Paul, John, and everyone else who has believed in His name since.

Jesus is with the Father at this time. The Holy Spirit has been sent to us as an intercessor. Although - literally we do not have Jesus or the Father speaking to us... God uses other people and the bible to respond to our requests and needs. I cannot recall - at any time - in the bible... someone praying to God, and He answers during that prayer. Generally speaking, God talks to us if He decides He is going to talk to us.
Since we have the scriptures, we have what we need. Yes, pray... but, pull out your bible and listen to Him by reading those words. Read one of the gospels... the first four books of the New Testament. Luke is probably the one I would recommend to you. The New Testament tells you all about Jesus, and the things He said when He was on the earth. Once a disciple said to Him that He believed that Jesus was the son of God. Jesus said, "You believe because you have seen, blessed are those who have not seen but still believe." Although we have not been priviledged to see and talk to Jesus here and now... we are given a special blessing for believing in spite of it. I would suggest that you start looking for believers that you can talk to and get help to understand the things you are reading in the bible.
I am so sorry about your father's illness, and the issues your brother is going through. I imagine you must be feeling like you are all alone. There are very painful things we must all deal with in this life. You have my deepest sympathies.
May God bless you...

Hey, I am 15 years old myself, and I am a Christian. First, if you pray to Jesus he will answer, However not always through what we humans would expect which is an immediate answer, and something very easy and clear to understand. God sometimes will speak to you, he also though speaks through Dreams, visions.. I know personally about this issue for I have prayed and have had God respond many times through dreams especially.. God will answer you there are so many different ways he can answer you. God knows your heart and he is there for you. You should try to find some Christian people in your community or find a local church that you feel comfortable in I attend the Vineyard which is a church based on worshiping God, hearing words and answers from God, healing from God.. If you want to talk about God, and different things Don't hesitate to send me an email at usa2028@yahoo.com
Take Care & God Bless

I don't know about physically talking back, but if you pray to G-d (not Jesus, but G-d) he will answer your prayers. In a sense that is talking back to you. An example of this would be, asking for guidence, and someone approaches you with some info on what you were looking for, or you may see an add for what you were looking for. Good luck

Yes, He talks to us in many ways, for some it may be an audible voice, for others it's signs or just knowing that you know what the right answer is...But before you can do any of this you must first have a relationship with Him...It says in the Bible, that the sheep will know His voice. God uses the sheep as examples because we are like them in so many ways. But the only way a sheep can know his masters voice is by spending time with him. You can't just decide one day to ask a question and expect an immediate answer. You have to build that relationship with Him. How?...By spending time in His word, the Bible. The more you get to know Him and what He has to say, the more you give of yourself to Him, the closer you get to Him the closer He gets to you. You also have to believe in Him, or in other words, have faith. Without faith God won't move, if you deny Him it says, He will deny you. But He also says that if you have the faith the size of a mustard seed, you can tell this mountain to move and it will move....It's a two-way street, you can't expect God to jump at your every command, He has certain things He wants you to do. He wants you to be righteous and to do what is right. If you continue to sin without repentance God can't hear your prayers...Spend time in His word, build that relationship with Him, he's waiting to help you, as it says in the Bible, He stands at your door knocking, if you open the door He will come into your heart... --Blessings!

Doctors do make judgments based upon their medical knowledge and most do the best they can. But manytimes they are wrong.
My Dad and Mom both smoked like chimmneys all their lives. Smoking made their circulation systems slow down or become clogged. CODP I think is the official name.
Jesus has already talked to you in your heart and mind. The fact that you are asking the question here shows that you care very much about your dad and Jesus as well.
One of the hardest things in life, as a teacher, is to teach the truth that God really does know whats best for us. He hears our prayers and helps us everyday. It may not be the help we think we need. But he is there.
Sometimes when we've tried all the science and medicine and do everything we can to follow the doctor's orders, we need to come to the realization that we are in the hands of God who loves us so much that he became one of us and died on the cross for us. And is here now with us.
Our Father, Who Art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, THY WILL be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Sometimes we just need to put ourselves in God's hands.
Do you pray often? Do you listen to advice from the people who love you? Do you see the events in life as a providential plan of God? Are you willing to accept God's will in all things? How do you feel in your heart? Do you have a pet who loves you unconditionally - thereby setting an example of Jesus' Love for you? Jesus has already communicated with you in the quiet of these things.
St. Benedict said, "Pray as if everything depended upon you, Work as if everything depended upon God."
We do our best, the rest is up to god.

God loves all people. He gives answers to those who pray. If you put your full trust in Him and then pray for advice God will give you advice. He also gave you the Bible to read. If you go to Proverbs then you have advice on pretty much everything. Go to someone you know is a Christian and can trust. Talk with them.

Sounds as though he has talked to you already but you wouldn't necessarily realise that. What Jesus said when he was here on earth is written in the Bible. Read gospel of Mark.

God wants to talk to you more than you want to listen. Still, it often is hard for us to hear God. Sometimes we let guilt hinder or or we refuse to forgive somebody else and it makes our heart harder. To clear things, ask Jesus to forgive you and pray for everything you want help with and then listen. As you continue to do this you will be amazed at how much understanding you can receive.
