The Rising Sound

The Bible tells us that, "In the beginning God create the heavens and the earth" and His first known words were "let there be light." This light that was released from the mouth of God was the very essence of who He is, the light of His glory. Remember the Sun and moon, stars and so forth did not come until day four.

I say that because in releasing His glory, light He was also releasing sound. Light and sound travel through the medium of waves. Moving light waves are called electromagnetic waves and the wave length determines the type of light it is. As humans we only see we're only able to see 3% of the entire light spectrum and part of the 97% which is unseen to the human eye. Within the electromagnetic light there exists a range of wavelengths called radio waves and within those only a small percent is what we can hear. Essentially, we know that all these forms or categories of light and sound exist within the same spectrum. I said all of that just to get to this point, When God released His glory, "let there be light," He was also releasing sound or proclaiming the beginning of sound, in this instant music was born.

"Let there be sound" or "God is (light) Sound" are very true and biblical statements. When God breathed His life into us and created us in His image, that very same sound He released in the beginning (glory) He placed within us. As we can see from creation, sound has the ability to change everything. Think of movies how sound can make a scene loving or scary, the moment is dictated by the sound.

Throughout the generations the spiritual climate of God's people has always had a musical (sound) indicator. With every revival , there has been a release of a new sound (a fresh revelation Him). The sound changes as God's people respond to what He is doing and saying.I write this only to say the onslaught against this generation is to "steal, kill and destroy" the sound of heaven stored in the hearts of this generation. There is a sound that scares the enemy, a shout that silences the avenger.

Balam was hired to curse the people of God but every time he tried he blessed them. The way the encampment would have been set up and from Balams view it was in the arrangement of the cross. You can't curse a people living in the power of the cross! He also noticed something else about those people living in the cross, "the shout of the king is among them."  Balam couldn't curse but he did tell the king how to lead them out of the cross and lose their sound. Immorality, Idolatry, and more (wrong sound) lead them out from the cross and silenced their sound.

There is an onslaught of pornography, casual sex, destructive music, poisonous paradigms all meant to steal or silence the sound of an emerging generation but as the Lord spoke and light (sound) went forth and has continued until this day reminding us of the truth that light expels darkness and darkness cannot triumph over light, God sound, the shout of the king is rising all across the land in the hearts and lives of those who have determined to be silent no more and to release the shout of the king.

I believe we are on the verge of a another new sound being released!

The Comforter or the Punisher?

When the ministry of Jesus was rolling and there seemed to be no end in sight, He told His disciples that He had to go but He would not leave them alone (John 16:7). He didn't say, "I want to keep and eye on you guys, you have a habit of getting into trouble and doing dumb stuff so I'm going to leave and send you "The Punisher" to keep you guys in line," and neither did He say, "I have to make sure you don't mess up my plan so I am going to send "the Controller." No, Jesus said He was sending one like Himself, a helper, a councilor and a reminder.

The Lord is not looking to punish or control you, He is looking however to empower you and walk with you to navigate this great freedom He has given us. The word tells us that it was and is for FREEDOM Christ has made us free and He wants to help us navigate that freedom and if we mess up or miss it along the way He is there to come along side and call out the best in us.

How do you view the Lord, Punisher or Helper?
