THE VOICE OF GLAD TIDINGS - PART 3

FRIDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2024

Your teacher will be right there always! Not sometimes, not twice a week, not during weekend; He does not visit sporadically, because it is divinely guaranteed that He will always abide with and in you! Therefore, practise paying close attention to what you hear, and you'll always find a grace to help, plus more and more of it. More below!

Reference: Isaiah 30:21 The Voice (Voice)

"Your ears will hear sweet words behind you: 'Go this way. There is your path; this is how you should go' whenever you must decide whether to turn to the right or the left."

Your ears will hear sweet words behind you: 'Go this way. There is your path...' You can probably guess what I just thought of: The voice is sweetness epitomized, not harsh or bitter, although it could come as a corrective warning or remedial measure in specific situations. My teacher's voice! I pray that God will continue to grant you abundance of divine wisdom, knowledgeable understanding, and effectual power for situational encounters, as you habitually listen to the voice of the Spirit.

What is the real character of this voice? Is it bold? Loud? A hussed tone? Does it sound like thunder and lightning? Is it in French language, or of strong African accent? The voice itself is wise and spiritual, as in, divinely inspired and wisdom attributed, mainly accompanied by peaceful note of confident assurance. So the teacher can speak to you, no matter the tone of the voice in speaking, and depending on the situation.

However, the voice exerts the ability of clear and expressive speech in your spirit, and it can be demonstrated in form of a dream, in your trance, in a vision and even in pictorial form as you pray in the Spirit, but the voice is more of distinct utterance and articulation (see Job 33:14-15 NLT). It could be a silent redirection in a path or even an incident that emerges to change your mind concerning a decision you've already made.

It could also be very quiet and still, but quite significant and important, as a befitting solution in a situation, occasion, case, battle, natural phenomenon and even in a person's nature of spiritual encounters, but in your spirit, you can rest assured that it is the correct "instructive" divine notion, purpose-driven pertinent inspiration, fully-acceptable numinous utterance, accurately-enabled ethereal communication, and more so, morally-beneficial expressiveness.

It could also be a timely whisper, but it will always be the right voice, integrity personified and void of errors, disappointments and disadvantages in the end results, which as well, denotes that it can never be misleading, worthless, unfruitful or purposeless in your life. It could be an urge or prompting imbued with a sense of godly inclination, aided by a more in-depth and well-timed effect, and coupled with evidential intimation of spiritual relevance.

Psalm 16:11 reads, "You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (NKJV). The path of life is the precious voice of the Spirit, our reliable teacher. Beloved, don't be hasty to make that decision or take that step. Be sensitive to your teacher's voice, and you'll easily hear: This is the right road; walk down in this road; this is how you should go. No trial and error! And indeed, there is much to find about this divinely-inspired voice in the Scripture, which is considered a direct line of communication from the Lord. Stay tuned for part 4. Shalom!

Scripture Reading - Psalm 85:8; John 10:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Exuberant Declaration:

I'm a very special and wonderful triune sheep, full of eternal life in Christ. My inner ears are conditioned to recognise the voice of the Spirit, that wields perceptually distinct units of accurate sound in my inward auricular faculty and within the aura of my spirit. Praise God!
