“The voice of the LORD echoes above
the sea. The God of glory thunders. The LORD thunders over the mighty sea. The
voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of
the LORD splits the mighty cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He
makes Lebanon 's mountains
skip like a calf; He makes Mount Hermon leap
like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD strikes with bolts of lightning. The
voice of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake; the LORD shakes the
wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks and strips the
forests bare. In His Temple everyone shouts, ‘Glory!’” (Psalm 29:3-9, N.L.T.).
“He is a voice shouting in the
wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the LORD's coming! Clear the road for Him!’”
(Matthew 3:3).
“Then Jesus went from Galilee to the
Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John
tried to talk Him out of it. ‘I am the one who needs to be baptized by You,’ he
said, ‘so why are You coming to me?’ But Jesus said, ‘It should be done, for we
must carry out all that God requires.’ So John agreed to baptize Him. After His
baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and He saw
the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on Him. And a voice from
heaven said, ‘This is My dearly loved Son, Who brings Me great joy’’ (Matthew
3:13-17).
“Six days later Jesus took Peter and
the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. As
the men watched, Jesus' appearance was transformed so that His face shone like
the sun, and His clothes became as white as light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah
appeared and began talking with Jesus...a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a
voice from the cloud said, ‘This is My dearly loved Son, Who brings Me great
joy. Listen to Him’” (Matthew 17:1-5).
“But the one who enters through the
gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and
the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name
and leads them out. After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of
them, and they follow him because they know his voice. They won't follow a
stranger; they will run from him because they don't know his voice...I have
other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They
will listen to My voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd...My
sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal
life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from Me, for My
Father has given them to Me, and He is more powerful than anyone else. No one
can snatch them from the Father's hand. The Father and I are one’” (John
10:2-5,16,27,28).
“...the Holy Spirit says, ‘Today
when you hear His voice, don't harden your heart...’” (Hebrews 3:8).
