One day last week on
my way to work, I experienced something that I never experienced before. I know
my spirit can be very sensitive, but on this particular day it had to be on
super sized sensitivity, let me tell you why. One day last week I was riding on
the bus listening to the word of God as on a normal day. Suddenly the bus sounded like it was about to break
down that it scared me. I heard the wheel turning as if they were about to fall
off and the motor sound was loud as if something was wrong with it. I asked
a passenger across from me if he heard
the same thing, but he said no. So, I thought it was just me on an old bus and
went back to listening to the word. Then the sound of the other passengers
talking got very loud in a disturbing way that I turned around to see if
something was going on and how many people were really on the bus. You see,
when I got on the bus I noticed it was only a hand full of people and it was
very quite, but when I looked it was still a hand full of people and they were
not talking. So, I turned around and just turned up the volume on my ear piece,
but it was to no avail, the loud talking seem to have gotten louder and to add
to my experience the word of God that I
was listening to got even louder then usual as in a disturbing way that it made
me feel like I was going crazy or having a nerves brake down or something. The noise went on as I sat there for a moment
trying to adjust, but again, to no avail. Does this make sense to anyone? The
noise bother me so much that I ended up moving to the very front of the bus and
started pleading the blood of Jesus over and over again, feeling like I was
going mad and hoping to calm my ears and spirit down. Then I heard God say
"play worship music." So, I did, and it calmed me way down. Wow! I
thought to myself, that was a weird experience. As I was taking in the
calmness, I asked God in my mind. What was that? It wasn't until I got off the
bus and asked again, that He said "that’s noise and chaos." and
that’s all He said to me. As I pondered on His words and remanence on my
experience. In my mind and understanding of the world today, I was thinking God
was saying war is coming and I left it like that. As days went by and as I kept
pondering each day on my experience, It wasn't until the following Sunday that
God gave me a more depth understanding and revelation as the speaker of the day
preached from Exodus 33. That alone
confirmed that I'm in tune with God and He is defiantly speaking, because
He told me to read and study Exodus
concerning Moses and the children of Israel. After service I went over my notes
and it took me to Exodus 32: 15-18 and as I read vv's 15-18 my bus experience
hit me in the face. It reads: "And
Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the Testimony
were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side
and on the other were they written. And the tables were the work of God and the
writing was the writing of God, graven
upon the tables. (which that alone took me to my dream of God writing in the
sky) And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said
unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
And he said, it is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it
the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but
the noise of them that sing do I hear." God said that's what He
hears from His people and that He allowed me to hear what He hears coming from
us. You see, the singing was and is not a good thing. The people were singing
praises to the idol that Aaron formed for them and the words they were singing
was like hitting God in the face. Their words were, "These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the
land of Egypt." This is the noise God hears from us as we pray.
Those of us that are praying with many words and for show, needing to prove to
those who are listening that we can pray and we sound good praying have made
our voices our idol, love hearing ourselves talk. To God, its noise. Those of
us who are fighting against one another in the church and concerning our church
denominations is chaos and war to God,
and those of us that think we got it together and our mess don't sink,
need to repent because judging others is all we think about and it has become
our idol. We all need to repent, pray from out hearts and turn from our wicked
and thoughtless ways, that "God can hear from heaven and heal our
land." 2Chron.7:14 "Then we can have a readiness to revenge
disobedience WHEN our obedience is
fulfilled." 2 Cor. 10:6
