Psalm 29: 3 (KJV) the voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters 4 the voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty 5 the voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young Unicorn. 7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory...Have you ever been to a party where you were unfortunate enough to sit beside very massive and powerful loudspeakers? The noise is so loud that it causes your ears to ache, and you go home with a loud ringing in your ears and you probably end up temporarily deaf.
Well, God’s voice is similar to that except you can’t begin to imagine how loud it can be (spiritually) and the effects of it. It’s amazing, how that still small voice can be so loud. Look at the scripture above;
When God speaks to the waters, it’s like thunder upon the waters and it causes sound waves to move through the waters leading to a ripple effect (that’s a bit of physics for you from the omniscient God right there).
His voice is so powerful that it breaks the cedars of Lebanon. The cedar tree is a very strong tree, it’s roots are described as tenacious, it was the glory of Lebanon, this is what king Solomon used to build the pillars in God’s temple, and if you remember, inscribed on two of the pillars were Jachin (establish) and Boaz (meaning strength) respectively. The cedar tree was established in strength, and the voice of the Lord caused it to break and skip like a calf. Wow!
When God speaks, flames of fire are divided and the wilderness shakes. When you are in the midst of fire, all you need is God’s voice, and the fire is divided, making a way for you. You are able to walk out of that fire as if you had been sitting in a well air conditioned room, no burns. Likewise, when you are in a wilderness situation and you can’t see the wood for the trees, God’s voice will shake that situation, causing trees and bushes to fall, your vision becomes clear, you can see for miles and miles, and a path is created for you to lead you out of such a situation.
When God speaks, a female deer that isn’t even pregnant will give birth, can you imagine that? God’s voice causes the barren to give birth; it impregnates those that have no vision and causes them to bring forth beautiful ideas that will initiate their breakthroughs. His voice brings order where there is chaos, for example; barrenness is not of God, this is out of order because God asked us to multiply, so when God speaks to such a situation, His voice gets to the root of the barenness and the womb is restored to order. Remember, when God spoke in the very beginning (Genesis), the earth that was void and covered in darkness heard His voice and all of a sudden there was light. He spoke everything into being and into order.
What can I say? Except that you need God to speak to that hopeless situation and it will become hopeful. Troublesome situations will cease to exist at the voice of our Almighty Father.
Be still, and let your Daddy speak through you to that situation; see Jeremiah 22: 29 (KJV) O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD. Command that situation to hear the voice and word of the Lord today.
