Voice of the Lord

The Book of Genesis records the first mention of the voice of the Lord. Adam and Eve hid from God’s presence when they heard His voice. Notice that the voice of the Lord is connected to the presence of the Lord. Whenever God’s presence is strong, we can expect to hear His voice.

This is an hour when God wants His people to draw near to Him and not hide from His voice. The Fall caused Adam and Eve to be ashamed and hide from the voice of God. Sin separated man from God, meaning he could no longer hear and perceive the motives and intentions of the heart of God.

Jesus came to restore our relationship with God the Father. He wants His children to hear and know His voice. God desires to fellowship and have relationship with His creation. God inspires prophets and prophetic people to release His voice to His children. Prophets should communicate, articulate, and give voice to the heart of God. True prophetic messages should send you into the presence of the Father.

When prophets release words from the King of glory, change happens on the earth. God doesn’t want to just release information about Himself; He also wants to release the essence of who He is. When prophets prophesy, they release an awareness of the supreme greatness of God. Many times when prophets prophesy, they release the spirit of the fear of the Lord.
