Subject: BREAD OF CHRIST THE MAJESTIC VOICE OF GOD


MAJESTIC VOICE OF THE LORD

PSALMS 29: 1-9
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the
beauty of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the
LORD is upon many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars
of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young
unicorn.
The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the
wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the
forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

God's voice through out the Bible.
"The voice of the Lord is full of majesty."
When the Lord spoke to Samuel in his bed, and said unto him several times,
"Samuel, Samuel;" or when he spoke to Elijah, and Elijah said, "he heard the
whirlwind, and he saw the fire;" and after that there was "a still small
voice." He has spoken immediately from heaven by his own lips on one or two
occasions in the life of Christ. He spoke to him at the waters of Jordan,
when he said, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." He spoke to
him on another occasion, to which we have already referred. He spoke—it was
God that spoke, though it was Jesus Christ—he spoke to Saul, when on his way
to Damascus, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
God has been pleased to speak to men by angels. He has, as it were, written
the message, and sent it down by his messenger from on high: he hath told to
man many wonders and secrets by the lips of those glorious beings, who are
flaming spirits of his, that do his pleasure. As frequently, perhaps, God has
spoken to men in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth
upon them. Then, when the natural ear hath been closed, he hath opened the
ear of the spirit, and he hath taught truths which, otherwise, men could
never have known. More frequently still, God hath spoken to men by men. From
the days of Noah even until now, God has raised up his prophets, by whose
lips he hath spoken. It was not Jeremiah who uttered that lament which we
read, but it was Jehovah, the God in Jeremiah, speaking through the natural
organs of his voice. It was not Isaiah who foresaw the future, and foretold
the doom of nations, it was God in Isaiah thus speaking. And so with every
prophet of the Lord now living, and every minister whom God hath raised up to
speak: when we speak with power and efficacy, and unction, it is not we that
speak, but it is the Spirit of our Father who dwelleth in us. God speaks
through men; and now also, we know that God speaks through his own written
Word of Inspiration. When we turn to the page of Scripture, we must not look
upon these words as being in any degree the words of men, but as being the
words of God. And though they be silent, yet do they speak; and though they
cause no noise, yet, verily, "their sound hath gone forth throughout all the
world, and their noise unto the ends of the earth." And yet, again, God even
now speaks himself by the use of means; he does not make man speak, he does
not make the Bible speak merely of itself, but he speaks through the Bible,
and through the man, and there be times when the Spirit of God speaks in the
heart of man without the use of means. I believe there be many secret
impulses, many solemn thoughts, many mysterious directions given to us
without a single word having been uttered, but by the simple motions of God's
Spirit in the heart. This thing I know, that when I have neither heard nor
read, I have yet felt the voice of God within me, and the Spirit hath,
himself, revealed some dark mystery, opened some secret, guided me into some
truth, given me some direction, led me in some path, or in some other way
hath immediately spoken to me himself; and I believe it is so with every man
at conversion; with every Christian, as he is carried on through his daily
life, and especially as he nears the shores of the grave—that God, the
Everlasting One, speaks himself to his soul, with a voice that he cannot
resist, although he may have resisted the mere voice of man.
The voice of the Lord is still heard, even as it was heard aforetime. Glory
be to his name!
