« and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice »
9 There he went into a cave to spend the night. Suddenly the Lord spoke to him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”
10 He answered, “Lord God Almighty, I have always served you—you alone. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed all your prophets. I am the only one left—and they are trying to kill me!”
11 “Go out and stand before me on top of the mountain,” the Lord said to him. Then the Lord passed by and sent a furious wind that split the hills and shattered the rocks—but the Lord was not in the wind. The wind stopped blowing, and then there was an earthquake—but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 After the earthquake there was a fire—but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the soft whisper of a voice.
13 When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, “Elijah, what are you doing here?”
14 He answered, “Lord God Almighty, I have always served you—you alone. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed all your prophets. I am the only one left—and they are trying to kill me.”
In John 13:21-30 , during the Last Supper, Jesus said someone was going to betray Him and Peter made John the Beloved ask Jesus who the person was.
John asked and Jesus responded in a whisper that only John could hear.
In one of our Holy Ghost Services, God said,
“All my sheep hear my voice, but very few hear my whisper”.
There is a difference between when God speaks and when He whispers.
- When you hear God’s whisper, you will be several steps ahead of your colleagues.
You will become number one in whatever you have set out to do.
I pray that you will begin to hear God’s whisper from today, in Jesus’ name.
To hear God’s whisper, you must be closer to Him than everyone else.
Before John heard Jesus’ whisper, the Bible tells us in John 13:25KJV the position he took:
« He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? »
You cannot be closer to a person than the individual lying on his or her chest.
That is the position that you must take.
You must get so close to God that you can practically hear His heartbeat.
Only a few people are as close to God as this and you will see that they are addicted soul-winners because God’s heart beats for the souls of men.
The good thing is that God is willing to bring you very close to Him. He said in James 4:8NLT
« Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world »
The question however is, are you willing to draw near to Him and if so, how closely ?
Every time you sin, a distance is created between you and God, Isaiah 59:1-2, Psalm 66:18.
The first thing you therefore need to do to get close enough to God to hear His whisper is to be holy.
Once you are holy, God will begin to tell you things that are for your ears only.
Do you want to hear God’s whispers and become a custodian of divine secrets ?
- Draw closer to Him in holiness, soul-winning, and fellowship today.
Prayer focus – Father, please let me begin to hear your whispers from today , in Jesus’ name.
