1 | "God said"? ...The VERBAL voice of God? | Ex 20:19 | cwade | 66767 | ||
"God said"? The VERBAL voice of God? When we read the phrase "God said" Did it always mean God spoke verbally? Let me clarify my question: I know that during the Patriarcal Age there were occasions where God spoke to Abraham, Moses, Job, etc, verbally. In the Age of the Prophets, when he had a conversation with one of the prophets was He speaking verbally, or placing the information "in their minds"? I know of instances in the New Testament when the verbal voice of God was heard. Does the Bible preclude the possiblility of someone actually hearing (with their ears) the VERBAL voice of God today? | ||||||

Good question.. Many believers become upset when someone says "God spoke to me.." because they believe God speaks..but that He has given His word and we are to consider that only as His voice. The falacy here is that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to 'teach' or reveal (turn the light on) the Word. The carnal mind cannot comprehend the things of God but they must be revealed by His Spirit 1. Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. John 4:23-24 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Matthew 15:18-19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart: and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. Sin does not originate in the mind, but in the heart. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 paraphrased Our weapos are not carnal...casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing every THOUGHT into captivity.. Romans 8 5-8 To be carnally minded, set our mind on things of the flesh is death, but to be spiritually minded is to set our mind on the things of the Spirit.. It is my understanding that we are spirit, soul and body (triune beings) and that the soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions. Our mind was given to process information similar to a computer, junk in-junk out, and has to be reprogramed with God's Word (be transformed by renewing your mind to the Word). But the COMMUNICATION between us and God is in the connection of God's Spirit with our spirit. The spirit led person is one who listens with the spirit to the Holy spirit, confirms the voice with the Word (they will always agree) and acts on the Spirit's leading. The difficulty comes when the mind is not renewed enough and wars with the Spirit based on it's carnal wisdom. The more time spent in quiet fellowship listening for the voice of God in Spirit and truth (God's word is truth). Our changed mind does not necessarily mean a changed heart. Hope this helps In Jesus |

Yes, it is helpful. Thank You! I asked the question because a man claimed in his testimony recently that he heard the (verbal) voice of God inside his jail cell saying: "You will go home tomorrow". I wondered if that was Biblically possible. In Christ! cwade | ||||||

I see, well Paul heard a verbal voice of Jesus on the road to Damascus. We know this because the Bible tells us that those with him heard but it sounded like thunder to them? If God did what this man said God 'said' I would probably believe him. It is very good that you examine what you hear. So many take whatever people say as gospel, but God wants us to check everything by scripture AND the Holy Spirit. But God ideally wants us to walk by faith through a Spirit led life so this would be rare. In Jesus |
