Our Father, He is still speaking… Even in His silences and stillness He does speak
Let us be still and listen to Him an let us all know He is God.
July 5, 2014
Dear family,
Speak to me, o Lord, I was telling Him, please speak to me... While I was doing this I was going to His Word but also I was perceiving in my heart some words kept there and I remembered "Then God said..." It appears almost 700 times in the Bible. I have been going through a lot of those and for sure one needs to see and read what the Lord said and to whom he said it. The first mention is "Then God said let there be light..." and if was like that, the light was.
While I was reading, I noted some things. Please allow me to share:
God spoke in a very close way, or we perceive it like that, with people to whom He chose for His tasks and purposes. Let us remember Noah. How the Lord used him and all what He said to him and commanded him and how Noah obeyed. Noah was chosen to proclaim what was going to come so as to warn the people of the imminent destruction.
Let us remember Abraham, called the friend of God, to whom God chose to be father of multitudes, father of the Hebrew nation through whom all the families all the earth would be blessed. And we can even remember Jacob whose name the Lord changed to Israel and whom fought with God and was blessed by the Lord.
God stopped speaking and the passage in I Samuel says that the word of God was rare in those days. These were very dark days, the days of Samuel and all the rest judges of Israel. Certaintly today the Word of God is "rare" because in many pulpits the Word is not traced with righteousness and sincerity.
The Lord made Himself "seen", in a sense, every now and then through his prophets. These are what some and this servant too, call the silences of God. We can see it with Esther. The queen fought with the "enemy" of the jewish people and she overcame. Apparently there is a silence even in the mention of the Name of God. But the results testify all the contrary.
Even the Palmist, Asaf, bursts saying, "Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God!" (Psalm 83)
Then we also see a great silence. Apparently God stopped speaking. There are 400 years between the book of Malachi and the book of Matthew. But was really like that?
The last mentions of "then God said" are in II Corinthians and Hebrews 1. In Corinthians it says: God said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” (This appears in Leviticus 26 and Ezequiel 37 too)
Then in Hebrews, God said: You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”? (mentioned in Psalm 2)
I cannot stop putting together Then God said, there be light and God said I will dwell... and walk... and God said You are my son... Christ is the light of this world and the Light is our life. God dwells in us, his children by His Holy Spirit and He is in the midst of us, his people, His Church and Christ...
God still speaking and yes His highest communication with man is His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. He is the living Word, the Word of LIFE. But not only this but the Lord has left us HIS written WORD. No one of the men I have mentioned had the blessed Word (I say, as we have it today). To us, The Lord has given His Word. This is the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts... God speaks to us...
May God bless you, beloved. Thank you for your prayers.
