Let’s Turn To SEE His Voice!

Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet . . . then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me Rev 1:10 12
For God May Speak In One Way Or Another, Yet Man Does Not Perceive It . . . THEREFORE
I. Let’s EXPERIENCE the VOICE of the LORD!
A. God speaks to reveal His PURPOSES!
1 Samuel 3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor had the Word of the Lord yet been revealed to him!
2 Samuel 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance!
B. God speaks to reveal His CHARACTER!
Genesis 16:13 Then Hagar called the name of the Lord who SPOKE to her, “You Are a God Who Sees!”
JEHOVAH ROI = The God Who Sees Us
Genesis 22:1 Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and SAID to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Genesis 22:4 On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and SAW the place from a distance!
Genesis 22:8 God will provide for Himself the Lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”
Genesis 22:14 Abraham called the name of the place The Lord Will Provide . . .
JEHOVAH JIREH = The God Who Sees and Provides
C. God speaks to reveal His WAYS!
Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord!
Psalm 103:7 He made known His ways to Moses, his acts to the sons of Israel
For God May Speak In One Way Or Another, Yet Man Does Not Perceive It . . . THEREFORE
II. Let’s EXPECT the Voice of the LIAR!
Genesis 3:1. . . has God said, “You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?
John 8:44 The devil . . . does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him! Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies!
We need to EXPECT the voice of the Liar to speak into or out of:
A. Our CIRCUMSTANCES!
We need to EXPECT the voice of the Liar to speak into or out of:
B. Our THOUGHTS!
We need to EXPECT the voice of the Liar to speak into or out of:
C. Our EMOTIONS!
We need to EXPECT the voice of the Liar to speak into or out of:
D. Our ACTIONS!
For God May Speak In One Way Or Another, Yet Man Does Not Perceive It . . . THEREFORE
III. Let’s EMBRACE the Voice of the ALMIGHTY!
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet . .
A. God speaks INITIALLY!
Genesis 2:16 Then the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely 17 BUT from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil SHALL not eat, for in the day you eat from it you will surely die!
Genesis 2:8 They heard the SOUND of the Lord God walking in the garden . . . 9 Then the Lord God CALLED to the man . . .
B. God speaks FREQUENTLY!
1 Samuel 3:8 So the Lord called Samuel again for the THIRD time 10 Then the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening!”
C. God speaks POWERFULLY!
Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light:” and there was light!
Hebrews 4:12 For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart!
D. God speaks CLEARLY!
Revelation 1:12 Then I TURNED to SEE the VOICE that was speaking with me. And having TURNED I SAW the seven gold lampstands 13 and in the middle of the lampstands I SAW one like a son of man clothed in a robe reaching to the feet . . .
Exodus 3:3 So, Moses said, “I must TURN ASIDE now and SEE this marvelous SIGHT . . . 4 When the Lord SAW that he TURNED ASIDE to LOOK, God CALLED to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”
What is the common denominator between the encounter John and Moses had with the Voice of the Lord? They both took time to TURN and SEE . . .
