Well Dave...you are on a loser my friend.
God is not mute. He is way beyond just a Book...however wonderful and alive the book is..
As is said:-
“A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.”
We each hear at many levels...
according to faith ...as in the verse below...
John 12. 28 Jesus said....
"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 1) it thundered: others said, 2) An angel spake to him.
Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes. "
Experience yes. But you will say no way...it was deception.
Then I glory in my 54 years of deception...and you can keep you shallow fears. Because that is what drives your lack of belief FEAR.
Fear of being deceived.
Well I tell you in my years I have had many visions, one not even while in prayer, but an "open" vision, eyes open and not expecting anything! . ...and I've had many powerful dreams.
And once, I heard the audible voice of God. Just like those in the scripture quoted.
It was on Christmas Eve morning...1975
For me, it shook the house, I was sitting up in bed, my husband not yet awake. The voice did not wake him..obviously I shook him awake...!!!
In Psalms David says :-
"Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. "
You have said time and again what God does not do...in your own life you have
bound Him. Shame on you Dave.
