Hearing His Voice

Isa 26:9 KJV “With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek Thee early.”

How we all need a faith walk where our Father God is open in His communication to us….where His love and grace, His will and wisdom is heard by us so it can lead and guide us……His voice known to us, His tone always hinting of welcome, His sweet whispers present to soothe our souls…..

I know there are people who would say, “that is a bunch of nonsense, I believe in God and that being in church is a good thing. I know church helps to keep people in step, but as to God sharing His will with you and His being present to communicate His heart to you, I don’t believe in that at all.”

That line of reasoning just helps to prove my text….God doesn’t manifest Himself to the world…..it’s for those who desire to hear His intimate whispers while lying under the stars, His voice like the sound of a thunder clap, the sweet melody that comes out of struggle and despair, the One singing to you in that great and terrible time of sorrow. That is the voice of our Father.  A Believer should not have a simple “feel good” hunch about his Lord…every believer should have a deep-in-the-soul, know-in-your-knower ability to distinguish the pleasant and thoughtful voice of God because it is so present in his/her life.

I believe that there are times when we as Christians are in a season of fellowship where it seems like we are living right next door to the Kingdom of God….times when our heart is so filled with such heavenly ecstasy that if we were to move another inch we would walk right past the pearly gates and into Paradise. There have been times in my life when I feel like I could walk right into the Holy place and take a piece of the showbread right off the altar. Times when I could smell the incense from the censors and hear the harps and angels singing…times when I am alone but feel a comforting Presence like nothing I can explain.
The apostle Paul wrote, “I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.” He spoke of a man (maybe even speaking of himself) who was caught up to the third heaven and heard unspeakable words not known to the human ear….

A voice spoke to Moses at the burning bush. The prophets dreamed strange dreams…John, and Jesus Himself, heard that voice at His baptism…even men wishing to do harm to God’s people…..men not believers at all have been told by God…”abandon this or that.” Men throughout the ages have heard that voice….felt that push…been ignited by His unction…

God wants to reveal more of Himself and His love to each of us, and those of us who preach, and those of us who continue to share the Word, and those of us with an active witness, and those of us with a burden for someone or some group, we know there is a simple truth that is basic to all of us…”WE HAVE TO SEE MORE TO TELL MORE.”….We cannot tell what we do not know….we cannot proclaim a hidden message.

Let’s pray for each other that in these times of great darkness we will see more visions, dream real dreams, hear truth in revelation, share in a deeper light, so we can rescue those slowly dying souls around us…….with my soul I desire Thee in the night…Amen
