you know when we talk about the voice of God there are
there are times when God speaks audibly thats rare for most people I don't
you know maybe
for you it's an everyday thing for most people it's a pretty rare occurrence
so often when we talk about the voice of God we're not talking about vibrations in
your ear drums
we are talking about something else...what is that that we're trying to describe
I think with certain people depending on the call even and how it
breaks down it
tends to be a little more dominant in certain ways to different people
but like you said yeah I mean the audible voice of God we know its
biblical and it's for today and it's always been
but it's a rarity
but I would say the voice of God looks like many things, sometimes
like I mentioned, an unction, just an
inner knowing that has a peace that passes all understanding but you just
I didn't you know as a light bulb went off, just an unction, an inner knowing is often
the Holy Spirit
a lot of times with me
the more predominant way is through seeing you know it's very clear you
You see in Jeremiah 1
verse 11 where the Angel comes to Jeremiah
he says., "what do you see" he says "I see an almond branch" and how this practically
plays out to demystify it is sometimes you'll be in prayer and your still in his
presence you know and all of a sudden
you'll see things sometimes it can even be as simple as a picture in your mind's
eye
and God speaks through these parables the pictures as well as an
almond branch in Jeremiah 1
that the angel went on to tell him this speaks of God watching over his
word to perform it...you see this is often how dreams work to those parables is
parabolic pictures and things like that but
the voice of God like you said it's not audible, it's just
often one of my favorites is in stillness
you can hear in your spirit and
it gets to the point where it is just about audible. I mean you hear so crystal clear
just like you see in the spirit because we all have a
obviously natural hearing but spiritual ears and eyes
Ephesians 1 speaks of, and I have begun to learn it's a real dynamic available
in the spirit you know I learned this years ago I began to be still before the
Lord and I kind of like this a lost art
at large, in the body of Christ, but Psalm 46 be still and know
that I am God
you know those who wait upon the Lord Isaiah 40, and its so hard
with our just culture our fast-paced life
for us to get still but if we can really begin the train ourselves in
doing that
the realm of God's voice that you're speaking up opens up in so many
dimensions that we didn't know were available
Now, why do you think that is that stillness
correlates with God's voice so much? I feel like
often you know I wouldn't be a scholar on this topic by any means but I feel like
often, God's whole frequency and dynamic of flow is just not
on the solace realm, it doesn't mix in a
in the solace realm we often are busy in just thinking on carnal
matters, in the spirit is like oil and water
to the carnal things you know and so we're just so fast pace like
even I've learned a lot in what I call the Twilight state you can
dub it however you will, but in that point of
just about to fall asleep or just waking up, I'll hear God very fluently even
in those windows and you see that in scripture
but I feel it's if you're awake enough
where you are just falling asleep or coming out of it to where
your available enough in your soul to hear
but you're still enough that your mind isn't thinking what do I have to do today...
busy, phone calls, emails, and enough like God's frequency often is
and he's on his own channel you know and often we're on ours, if we would just get still
and just set aside everything, be still
I waited patiently upon the Lord, he heard my cry
and he's always speaking I feel like just often we are not on his channel
that correlates to something that Eric and I were just talking about, that
very thing
Let me ask you the same question that I just asked him. You know we talk
about stillness we talk about
the secret place and so on, is it that God is
waiting for us to get still and then when he sees, "Okay now he's still" then
he takes initiative
Or is God always speaking and it's just that we need to get on his
frequency
I totally believe in the latter, you'd probably say the same thing
to me he is so loving number one
revelatory number two, just full of vast communication, always speaking to his
people
through so many various means it's just often
we don't have the ears to hear or the posturing to align to the frequency to
hear
you follow me, in a car that applies in any aspect: the Word of God, the Holy
Spirit,
dreams, visions... God speaks through signs and wonders but we can walk right by one
or something manifest from God's presence
Moses if he wouldn't have stopped at the burning bush
he would have never heard the voice of God
to me he's always speaking trying to reach out to those people who love us
direct us, correct us, warn us
and we often are postured in order to hear that if that makes sense
