John 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
John 11:39 Jesus said, Take you away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinks for he hath been dead four days. [From heaven with Love pp 256] When the Lord is about to do a work, Satan moves upon someone to object…. Consider carefully the two previous examples, for it was not your everyday sinner on the menu.
These were God-fearing believers in Christ, so, you can just imagine what takes place with persons who do not have The Holy Spirit living within the heart. Now, it’s one thing to vocalize the voice inside your head, but it’ a completely different matter to obey it if it’s not God’s voice. There have been increasing incidents where persons have heard a commanding voice inside their heads, and they followed through with obedience, but it turned out that the voice was not God’s voice at all.
Let’s just say here that with the uptick in indulgence in pagan philosophies, ideologies and practices, you will see and hear more incidents where persons will hear commanding voices, telling them to do the unthinkable. In the two most recent cases, two mothers claimed to have heard a commanding voice, telling them to strangle their kids. And unfortunately, they obeyed the voice and the rest is history. Someone will need to advocate for them, hence the reason why we say that it is quite possible that God is now saying, hold on a minute, through His providences.
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
