Listen for His Voice in the Midst of Many
The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare, and in His temple all cry, “Glory!” (Psalms 29:7-9 ESV)
In this day of needed justice and purification of the Body and the Bride, many are trying to find their voices. Many are seeking to give voice to the wrongdoings of others, the abuses and control, the secret sins in hidden places, and long-forgotten failures of the past in the House of God. Many are trying to find the courage to speak and to bring light to that which has stained our witness and poisoned our well.
But as each one seeks to find their voice, there is only One Voice that can break the curse and set us free. It is this One Voice from which all others must speak. It is this One Voice that must be heard amidst all others in order for the glory of the Lord to be revealed. It is this One Voice that will set things in order and transform all that has been contaminated by unrighteous deeds and fleshly ambition.
Listen for the Voice that shatters lies and crushes Leviathan’s grip. Listen for the Voice that melts the hardness of hearts and brings the fire of Heaven to burn up the chaff and dross of men. It is the voice of the Lord that speaks into the wilderness and shakes everything that can be shaken. In the shaking of His voice, that which is pure and holy will endure and come forth as gold in the midst of the fire. Listen for the Voice which reflects glory and brings true peace to men’s hearts concerning that which is lasting and eternal.
‘My Sheep Know MY Voice …’
Voices are rising up and stirring the waters. The source from which they speak will be seen, for change will surely come and righteousness will again spring up from those whose waters run pure and whose streams are clean. Yes, many are speaking and giving voice to these many troubles in the House of the Lord. Pray for these who are conduits of this One Voice, for theirs will carry power and a holy fire to burn up the hay and stubble to separate the pure from the profane.
But watch for the voices that seek to deflect and defend. The voices of flesh are many and will cause doubts and unrest.
Even so, the voice of the Lord is speaking in this hour. For those with ears to hear it, yield your voice to His and allow Him to speak through you. Know that when He speaks, mountains will tremble and oaks will fall. But even in the shaking and the falling, the glory of the Lord will break forth as the waters cover the sea.
Do not be concerned with finding your own voice. Speak from His, and all else will fall into place.
