Every day speaks a unique message, and every night declares knowledge to inhabitants of the earth about the eternal God, His glory, deity, sovereignty, power and love. Man may hear and see but may not understand. Not understanding will not change God’s plan!

It is given to some to hear and understand and some will not! The disciples of Jesus did, but the throng of onlookers did not, even though they heard (see John 12:27-30; Matthew 17:5-7).

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. John 12:27-30

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. Matthew 17:5-7

Paul to whom the message was sent, heard and understood but the others heard but did not understand because the message was not meant for them! (Acts 26:13-16)

At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee. Acts 23:13-16

It is time for you to passionately cry to God that it’s His voice, His message that you want to hear, not the manipulative and seductive voices on social media. His voice and His message is what we all need to hear, so we may do what He wants of us!

Yet there are many who will hear and reject because their hearts and passions are elsewhere (Romans 1:18-31). Take heed to yourself, save yourself from this evil generation. Selah
