The Effect a Sound
We serve an amazing God! The truth of that statement became more clearer to me when I started seeing God in everything. The uniqueness of all His creation is simply mind boggling.
I am always taken aback by the sound of someone’s voice and the fact that all of us have a different and distinctive sound. After listening to a voice message sent to me by a dear friend, it had me thinking. Why is it that the sound of her voice is always uplifting? I also looked at our prayer group and how each of us have a different sound to our voice.
Sound and its effect started illuminating my very thoughts. “And suddenly there came a sound ….,” Acts 2:2a. This sound happened on the day of Pentecost, before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Joshua 6:20, “…. when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout ….” This sound was the precursor to Jericho’s wall falling down.
The effectiveness of sound is based on the Holy Spirit. When the Spirit is in control of the very sound that proceeds from our mouth, something must happen. It’s the sound from our voice that the Spirit uses to defeat the enemy and his advances. Even our groaning is a sound that the Holy Spirit understands.
There is coming a day when, “…. the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,” 1 Thessalonians 4:16. Are you ready for this sound?
God Bless.
