SPEAKER 5

How does the speaker speak God speaks with His voice. Throughout Genesis many times the scriptures says God said. When God said, God spoke the world into existence. God spoke directly to Moses when he lead the people of Israel. This is particularly evident when Moses went up to Mt Sinai to hear from God We have the story of God speaking directly to Moses on Mt Sinai. Exodus 19:20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. God spoke to Moses on Mt Sinai where He gave the laws of God to His people. Remember God told the people of Israel could not go near Mt Sinai while He spoke to Moses. The mountain was a holy place set aside by God to speak to Moses. Exodus 19:12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. Thus we see God spoke with His Voice God also spoke through messengers God spoke through a messenger when he called Moses to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt We see this recorded in Exodus 3:2-3,14-15 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the one who spoke to Moses through His messenger. He is not a God from the earth. He is the God who made the earth. So through many other places the scripture records God uses of messengers to speak. We read in Luke’s gospel, Angels, that is messengers of God, spoke to Mary and Joseph God speaks By his written word We have God's speech written in Books of Moses, in the history of Israel, in poetry, in prophecy, in the gospels, in the letters to the early church. We have God's Word and speech recorded in the Scripture. Deuteronomy 10:2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.’ We will see that Holy men were moved to write God's Words so that all mankind will know the one who speaks. God speaks with His Life. The speaker came to live among us. He speaks with his life. The one who speaks came to live among us John 1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; this one was in the beginning with God; 14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. Jesus came to live among us in earthly form. He spoke and lived to demonstrated His speech among us.
