Hear His Voice

Millions have been converted because one man heard God’s voice. Saul “fell to the ground, and heard a voice” (Acts 9:4, NKJV). When Saul became Paul, he continued to hear the voice of the Lord. He knew his shepherd’s voice.

Peter allowed the Savior’s voice to come to him. “Peter went up on the housetop to pray… And a voice came to him…” (Acts 10:9, 13). The Gentile race was welcomed into the kingdom, along with the house of Cornelius, because Peter obeyed this voice.

We also must allow God’s voice to come to us. “For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you will hear his voice” (Psalm 95:7).

Oh, what God could do with Christians who learn to hear from heaven! Yet instead of waiting for God’s voice to come to us, we run to counselors and psychologists, read books, and listen to programs, hoping to hear from him. We want a leader to follow, a plan, or a clear word of direction. Few know how to go to the Lord and hear his voice.

God wants to shake the earth once more. The whole universe is ready for Holy Ghost convulsions! “See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, ‘Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven’” (Hebrews 12:25-26).

He has promised, “Once again, my voice will be heard. Those who hear will shake the earth. Heaven and earth will be moved. By the hearing of my voice, whatsoever is loosed on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

To the last church, the Laodicean church, the Lord cries, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20).

Beloved, be ready for the last call of Christ to the church: “Open up. Let me into your secret closet. Talk with me and let me talk with you. That’s how I will keep you from the hour of temptation that is coming on all the world.”
