Am just watching this video series touch the sound and it is interesting what sound is to a person who is going deaf. Sound is more than just an audible thing, as some sound enthusiasts or sound engineers or musicans would know that sound is a pretty tangible thing, from the vibrations of the speakers to the effects of the subwoofer to even the overall feel of live source sound versus projected sound, all these play a part in our overall experience of listening. When you play an instrument, you knwo your instrument, you know the feel of it and how it vibrates to create the various pitches like a vocalist, you can feel where the sound is being projected from, be it diaphramatic, chest, throat, nasal or head we know where our sounds are coming from and we can feel the difference when we produce different pitches and sounds. Beautiful and wonderful is the creation and experince of sound.
In the same way we must be able to listen no only to the audible voice of God but also the experiencial part when God speaks there is a quality to it much like there is a quality to a middle C and a high A both are different and we can tell it apart but we need to get to a level where we can feel the difference and not only hear the difference so we must know how to differenciate God’s voice and other voices around us. For me I want to be on a journey to feel the difference between sounds, be it in terms of pitch or in terms of instrumentations there will be adifference just put your hand on the wall when an instrument is being plaed and feel it. And in the same way I want to tune my spiritual senses to God, I know that I have not heard God’s voice as in an audible voicebtu I have sense His presence through situations, people and feelings but these usually occur to me that He was speaking after the event and I reflect about the happenings before. But I want to know when God is speaking not after He speas but when He is is speaking…Lord open my ears and spiritual senses of touch and hearing and sight that I would be able to know Your directions for me when You are showing it to me. I know this will be a long journey of growth but do hold my hand Lord God and lead meeach and every step of the way…
It is good that you do know, at least, how He speaks to you. Now maybe you could try looking at a situation -any one- that you’re in and discerning for yourself how God is speaking to you.
Cheers
