The Voice of God

I am Superfantastic & Superabounding Praise God। How are you?

I was listening to one of my Pastors teaching on Spiritual Things, he made a point that caused me to stop and ponder; I’ve read Genesis 3:8, which reads,
“ … and they heard the Voice (Sound) of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day …”. What my Man of God pointed out, was that “The Voice of God was WALKING”, when I heard that I stopped, thinking wonderful, ‘voice! Walking’. As I brooded on this issue, other revelations were given me.

Notice that, it did not say; that God was in the garden or that God was heard in the garden, or that God was leading or carrying His voice in the garden; No, the Voice of God was there walking and having a conversation, we shall return to this later.

Firstly let us consider “The Voice Walking”, now there are certain things that have the ability to walk, People for example, as a Person you & I have our own personality, character, independent will & uniqueness, meaning that The Voice of The LORD GOD, walking in the garden, is a Person, with His won personality, character etc; which then begets the questions, where was He going and what was He talking about and with whom?

Secondly, also accept that He (The Voice of God) was walking and talking on the earth in the garden.

Thirdly, My Pastor always talks about truth & greater truth, applied here; we’d have to ask a greater question; Who is this Person, The Voice of the LORD GOD? Also, is He still here?

Let us take the third point first; the Apostle Peter gives us the answer in 1 Peter 4:11, he says “If any man speaks, let him speak as the Oracles (Utterance, Sound) of God …”, ‘If any Man … any Man … MAN’, so the Apostle Peter lets us know that the Voice of The LORD GOD is Man, more to the point you & I are the VOICE of the LORD GOD here.

This brings us nicely to, where was the Voice going and what was He talking about? I’m sure that you have descended that one; however, the Voice of the LORD GOD was going about His business, that of, Proclaiming the Glory of God.

As the Voice of the LORD GOD, are you proclaiming! The Glory of God?
You know, you can proclaim by word and, also you can proclaim by the Manifestation of His Glory in your life, this one come By The Power of The Spirit of God (that’s a topic for another day).

What? You say that you didn’t know that you here for Glory and Glorifying the LORD, in Isaiah 63:3, God explicitly tells you, that you are for His Glory.

So, as the Voice of the LORD GOD; What are you talking about? What types of confessions are you making in your life that shines forth the Glory of GOD in your life? Are you talking as Apostle James in (James 3:2) says “a Good Report” saying (talking) the right things?

The time has come full circle for us to arrive at the totality of understanding, that all of God’s creations was as a result of the Power of the Sound of His Word, Christ in John 21:6 framed the fishes that His disciples caught by the sea of Tiberias by the Power of the Sound of His Words.

As a Spiritual Man (Woman) born anew, alive in Christ and filled with miracle working power by the Power of the Holy Ghost, it is to us as the VOICE of the LORD GOD to Proclaim & Manifest His Glory, to be a planting for the display of His Splendour.

Hence when you speak a Word, make a confession, a declaration, or give a word of prophesy, to reiterate the Apostle Peter, “… speak as the Oracles (Utterance, Sound) of God.

Speak your life into the realms of the marvellous, because as the Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 2:9c that’s where we abide.

Peace Peace

Spiritual Enemies

Martial Arts, training and developing for Body – Mind – Spirit

In today’s society a majority of people engage in the study of the Martial Arts, and a good number of them can defend themselves should an antagonist cross their path (well I hope they can); yet, the thing is, we don’t just have human adversary (i.e. muggers, rapist, burglars, the boss, the boyfriend, the mother in-law etc.).

The nucleus of our enemies exist in the Spiritual Realms; the Scriptures tells us this, it says “… for we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the powers … against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places”.

If such are our enemies, that you can do 100 sit-ups in 60 sec, break concrete slabs with your head, have mastered 101 Kata, and have done the 100 man Kumita means nothing when the forces of the darkness have you ensnared.

I love the Martial Arts, training the body, conditioning the mind, controlling the emotion and polishing my Spirit. Yet, polishing the Spirit and growing and developing the Spirit are two very different things.

The way of the Bushido works for me; in Spiritual Growth, I first polish my Spirit in readiness to grow it, by going to the dojo. Then I grow my Spirit by hearing & meditating on the WORD of God, which is the Food of the Spirit.

If you read Proverbs 18:14 it say, that a man with a strong Spirit can endure anything, but a crushed Spirit, who can bear it? This highlights the importance of having a strong Spirit; that your sister in-law doesn’t like your dress sense won’t crush your Spirit; it might even fire you up.

However, if you are not ready and you have an exchange with a wicked person (now, this is not somebody that has done a wicked thing; No! A wicked person has their centre, being, their very essence as instruments of wickedness, given over to the wicked spirits in the Spiritual Realms.

When you have an exchange with these people, a roundhouse kick won’t do the job of cutting them down, for this you need the Sword of the Spirit.

This is what the Word of God says about me, my Spirit that I have received, The Spirit of Power, Love & a Sound Mind (2 Timothy 1:7), so I know, not believe, I Know that I have a Strong Spirit. So when I have an exchange with these types of people, when the job is done, you will always see me Standing Strong. The people that know me, know this

Where do you go, to hear about these words of Truth, to practice using the Sword of the Spirit? When you have done your time in the dojo, get to Church, (hey! Pay attention). Am not talking religion; those that know me (really know me) know that I don’t ascribe to and will never ascribe to religion.

I’m talking about Spiritual development, belonging to the right Church and Ministry, a Ministry (http://www.christembassy.org ) that know how to rightly divide the word of truth and teach you how to have a Personal Relationship with God, that is what Spirituality is all about; Christ when He walked the earth, said, that the time is coming when we must Worship God in Spirit & Truth, well the time has now come. Go to Church and grow your Spirit.

By the way, God loves the Martial Artist; especially that one who’s Spiritual Gi embodies the characters that God delights in, [i.e. Truth, Righteousness, Justice, Peace], and have His Word engrafted in their Heart.

If that a stumbling block for you, then, find out what is meant by the LORD OF HOST.
