🌬️The Voice🦻🏻

Never put passion before principle even if you win you lose. 

Hebrews 12:26 (KJV) Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Two words jumped out at me when I read that verse. First, the word “voice” Sound or audible noise uttered by the mouth.

Second word “shake” move irregularly

Whose voice did what? Shook the earth! When was this and whose voice was that powerful. Let us go back to the book of Exodus where we read in Exodus 19:9 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

Exodus 19:17 (KJV) And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

Exodus 19:18 (KJV) And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Here we read where God by His Voice shook a mountain. The shaking of that mountain was so visible and noticeable and then they heard the voice of God. Wow what a day that must have been. I have heard people say if God would just speak to me audibly I would have no problem believing. You think so? If you were to keep reading you will read yes the people were fearful of what they heard. The question is how long did their fear last? There was a man I know who almost died because of his drinking. He said “I’m done drinking and that scared me.” How long did that fear last? A short 2 weeks! Well the same happens here. It wasn’t long before those people who heard God and witness the shaking of the mountain decide to make their on god and worship it. It would be no different today if you or I heard God speak. Never forget the enemy who wants to destroy you and I. People see angels or so they say. They hear others say you are fine, God will take you to heaven when the time comes. Be careful about feelings, what you see and what others tell you. Remember what faith is  Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Seeing is not believing but evidence enables the mind to see truth. Look past what you see and look for the evidence. Now hearing, well do you not understand the older ones get the less they are able to hear? That’s why people wear hearing aids. Well if God spoke you may not hear what He said. Well I need something that is not going to be shaken don’t you? Like a strong foundation.  

Luke 6:48 (KJV) He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

A strong foundation like the Word of God which anyone can read.

Luke 21:33 (KJV) Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

The winds will blow hard in our life that you can rest assured. The problems will come and they will shake your life. We will lose many things from a pocket knife or purse which will be much easier to overcome than many other losts. I lost my dad, my hero, my advisor, the one I listen to, the one I looked up to. On that day, after talking with him by phone, the enemy of death came and took him, I was 37. But there have been many things and people I have suffered lost in my life. But I do have the promises of my Heaven Father; First that He would never leave me. 

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Not only will He never leave me He also said that He would never lose me. John 10:28 (KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Don’t give in to this worlds draw, don’t let the sounds and sights get you so consumed that you let go what you know is right.

Hebrews 10:23 (KJV) Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Yes I’m holding on to my profession of faith because I have seen the evidence and this world has nothing to compare. If today I had all this world could offer it would be nothing to what is a head. I'm not selling out, I'm holding on to what I know. Mark 8:36 (KJV) For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

 Read the Book!

Hebrews 10:7 (KJV) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Hid the Book

Psalms 119:11 (KJV) Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Know the Book

Matthew 7:15 (KJV) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 7:16 (KJV) Ye shall know them by their fruits.
