Transcript of The Voice of God
INTRODUCTION
There is no voice that is more
powerful than God’s
His voice is holy, distinct and
versatile, resounding throughout
each corner of the heavens &
earth
We discuss the voice of God
during the Day of Trumpets
because this day points to the
time in which God’s voice will call
his saints & gather them to Mt.
Zion
When God Speaks • God’s voice is not like ours. When he
speaks creation obeys, a law is
established, new life begins or a soul
is destroyed.
And God Said....
• With this very voice the heaven and
earth were created. “And God said,
let there be light......”
And God Said.... • The same voice that destroyed also
healed. “And, behold, there was a
woman which had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together,
and could in no wise lift up herself. And
when Jesus saw her, he called her to
him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art
loosed from thine infirmity.”
• (Luke 13: 11-12)
And God Said.... • The same voice that healed also brought the
dead back to life. “And when he thus had
spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth. And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes:
and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him
go.”
• (St. John 11: 43-44)
God’s Voice Divided God’s voice is represented by the entire
throne of God
Without the voice of God the Father
nothing would be in existence
It was he that spoke and created the
entire throne of God, appointing each of
them their roles
God’s Voice Divided When Christ spoke he created the
heaven, earth and every living creature
that exists beneath the throne of God
He is also the word, law and truth
When he was on this earth, multitudes
would come and listen to him preach the
gospel
We continue to hear Christ’s voice today
whether it be directly from him, through
the Holy Spirit or the bible
During his second coming all will hear his
voice
God’s Voice Divided The Holy Spirit speaks unto us to
convince us of righteousness
That still, small voice (conscience) that
guides us everyday on what is right &
wrong is the voice of the Holy Spirit
He is the Teacher of Righteousness,
speaking to our hearts & minds about
the word of God and giving us
understanding
His voice is comforting because he
brings into remembrance the promise &
hope of Christ
Versatility of God’s Voice
There is no limit to God’s voice
His voice can be gentle and soft as a whisper as
well as loud & frightening
The symbols that represent God’s voice are
often very loud and command attention
Symbols of God’s Voice • (Revelations 14: 2)
• “And I heard a voice from heaven, as
the voice of many waters, and as the
voice of a great thunder: and I heard
the voice of harpers harping with their
harps:”
Symbols of God’s Voice • (Revelations 1: 10-11)
• I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and
heard behind me a great voice, as of a
trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and
Omega, the first and the last: and, What
thou seest, write in a book, and send it
unto the seven churches.....
God’s Voice As the
Trumpet Spiritual Relevance on an Individual Level
The Feast of Trumpets represents the first step
involved in an individual gaining salvation
Before you can repent or seek the word of God you
have to be called & warned about the truth
The Holy Spirit speaks to us to convince us of
righteousness
The Wisdom of God speaks to our minds calling us out
of the broad path so that we can fear God & learn to
obey
Christ who is the word & truth also reaches out to us &
warns us to keep his law
