The LORD can. Again, let me remind you of the words of the Lord from the message you replied to: "Take heed that no man deceive you." The very central verse of the Author's Version of the Bible says: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
The Lord Jesus is the truth! God is the ultimate reality upon which all other realities depend, the unshakable firmness which supports the universe which he has created, the unchangeable steadfastness, the ultimate faithfulness. God reveals himself objectively to all people, not only to believers, but also to unbelievers, even to those that deny him and seek to erase him from their thoughts.
There are basically FOUR ways in which God reveals himself: (1) In the processes of nature; (2) In the unfolding of the history of mankind; (3) In the preaching of the gospel; (4) In the Bible.
"Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" (Rom.1:19,20)
In your conscience, God reveals HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, written on your heart. It is only if you allow your conscience to become seared with continual sins, that you fail to hear his voice.
The Lord Jesus Christ gave HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, that he might deliver us from this present evil world. He paid for our sins "with his own blood" and the FREE gift of eternal life is yours for the asking. (What are you waiting for? :)
The word of faith says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved; For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (He still loves you!)
Grace with joy be unto your heart for Jesus' sake. Amen. --Richard
