Intimacy with the Voice


Voice of a Father
Today’s Focus: Intimacy with the Voice
Scripture: Genesis 3

Greetings Sons of God:
Now I want to start with the end, take us back to the beginning and bring us back to this scripture to show this concept. 

Genesis 3:7,8: And the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.  And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. 

Now we know that God created man from the dust of the ground, breathed the breath of life into him and he became a living soul.  We know also that Adam was the son of God.  Now the important thing that we want to bring out is how the relationship between man and the Father existed.  We know that man had the Holy Spirit within him fellowshipping with his spirit.  We know that the Lord commanded Adam not to touch or eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Now let’s stop here!

If the Lord, who is Spirit, commanded Adam on what He expected from Adam, then Adam had a unique relationship with the Father in order to carry out His commandments.  Well since God was invisible then Adam had fellowship with the voice of the Father.  God would meet with Adam in the cool of the day.  Now let’s look at our scripture at the beginning.

In Genesis 3:8 it says that they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden.  So the major concept that we need to understand is:

The voice of the Lord ushers in the presence of the Lord.

The scripture says the voice was walking and they hid themselves from the presence of the Lord.  Now many in the faith have been trained to use their eyes more than their ears. We have been trained to believe it if we see it.  However in the House and Kingdom of God we must train our ears first and then our eyes.  The words our ears hear will manifest the very things before our eyes. 

In the next message we will look at two different reactions to the same voice by mankind. 

Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
