Like a gentle whisper, My voice can be heard speaking, yet it makes no audible sound. My point of connection cannot be seen, as it is the Spirit within a man that opens the line of communication between us.
But the inner ears of My children have become dull, which is why many aren’t able to detect My Presence at all. So though My voice has never gone silent, quite a few believe the truth is that it has, and so they see no reason to develop their listening skills. These shall then continue to be hearing impaired, for it is their unbelief, and nothing more, that prevents them from discerning My voice. And since these children hold no expectation of any discourse between us, our depth of relationship shall only dwell on the surface. For how can intimacy be known without one conversing with another?
However, I am not the cause of this relational rift, as I am still ever-present in the lives of My children. Therefore, the onus for this disconnect rests upon those who deny verbal interaction with Me is even possible.
Yet why should any believer think this such a foreign idea when throughout the Scriptures there are examples of Me interacting with My people? And since Holy Spirit now dwells among them, a direct line of communication has been established, where those who desire it can hear My voice. Knowing this to be true should encourage all who are Mine to cast off thoughts which speak to the contrary, as this is only ‘doubt’ trying to keep distance between us. Yet, once the atmosphere is cleared of this nuisance, a little practice is all it takes to discern the sound of My voice.
Therefore, let those who are willing arrive before Me with this expectation: that if you will seek Me with all of your heart, you will find Me. Who will then delay running into My Presence when such a promise is made?
And so, clean out the ears of your inner man by allowing your thoughts to rest upon Me alone. For as you do this, then very soon you shall hold a greater awareness of My Presence within your being. And if you quiet yourself enough, surely you will hear Me speak.
“The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” – 1 Kings 19:11-12
