As it should be. Nothing in the bible states you need to go through a middle man.
I’ll tell you something that I have told others, and I’m sure they think I’m nuts. You may think so also, but here goes.
Any time I have a real problem, something I can’t solve because of too many variables, or outcome insecurity, how it affects others, etc. That’s generally when I ask for God’s help. For the smaller stuff I figure that’s why he gave me a brain.
Every time I have done this, called on God for help in solving the problem (I never ask God to fix things, I don’t believe it works that way) within a couple of days I’ll see 2 solutions to the problem that will practically appear as words in front of my eyes. It’s very similar to getting a message in my head, here’s your 2 best options now you decide the best way. Surprisingly one of the choices always seems the most obvious, like God swept away all the stupid stuff that I don’t need to consider.
To me it seems like a miracle, and like I’m getting my prayers directly answered, but I’ve been taught my whole life that God doesn’t work that way.
The result is I quit telling people about it before I get put in a strait jacket for claiming I am communicating directly with the Almighty.
That might be true, but don't forget Hebrews 10:25. The fellowship of believers is important.
"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
