Romans 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
The Bible teaches us that the prince of darkness has the ability to utter things into your mind, whether it be through other individuals, or by a direct infusion. He spoke to Job, commanding him to curse God and die. He spoke to Eve, to Adam, and to Moses, to Achan, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and his voice has been heard in the mind of every individual who has ever lived on our planet.
When Adam and Eve sinned, one of the unfortunate consequences was that the prince of darkness was now given more ready access to human minds, and ever since that fatal day, all human beings have, and continue to hear his voice, some more, some less. God’s ideal is that we will only obey His voice, but as far as other voices go, you will hear them from time to time. If you were to hear any commanding voice telling you to do something that is contrary to God’s revealed will it’s your positive duty to verify that the voice is indeed God’s voice, before proceeding with the command.
And if you are not 100% sure, do not proceed under any circumstances. Even if you have to ask God for a sign, it will be better to confirm before acting on any command or instruction to do the unthinkable. When God spoke to Abraham concerning his son, God gave Him a definite sign to guide him moving forward, in addition to which, Abraham knew God’s voice, because of his relationship and communion with Him over a number of years.
Genesis 26: 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
