Episode Synopsis

Ever wondered how those who say they heard God actually do it? Like, how did you hear Him? What does He sound like? Is it like when two familiar friends are gisting? And then, however you heard the voice, how are you sure it was God’s voice you heard? Who told you it was His voice? Where’s your evidence…? because all this explanation…
Some even say “I heard God, loud and clear”… when you’re not gearing up for an IG Live (inside joke for Tribesmen). You have no idea how many billions of decisions have been made on the strength of “I heard God”; “God told me”; “I know what I heard.” Some, in retrospect, by virtue of time and consequence, were spot on, others… not as much. Why do people generally feel the need to add “God told me” to some of their decisions? Is it because it adds some validity to the weight of their decisions? Or is it because they want no one to question their decisions?
The “God told me” card is one I have seen a lot of people play, especially when they want no accountability from others for their decisions, nor want to take responsibility, should the outcome of their decision go south… after all, it was God who told me. Almost like how Adam held God responsible for his own fall; God, you gave me the woman who I agreed with to fall… It’s all your fault.
But let’s talk about the hearing dynamics…
How is a believer expected to hear from a “God” who neither speaks English nor sign language? He is Spirit and only speaks Spirit. What that Spirit looks like, we have no idea, especially if we’re thinking about Spirit in a 3-dimensional context. Spirit is totally unlike what we may be able to articulate in human language or imagination. In fact, one of the manifestations of this Spirit in our midst is the uttering of totally unintelligible words, specifically selected by Him for our utterance. These words cannot be transcribed into any known human language, and these words are the words of The Spirit. As unidentifiable as it is by men, these exact seemingly “gibberish” words are the clearest articulation of the Will of God in that moment. Clearer than the soundest logic in human communication. The Spirit isn’t to be investigated like we do normal human language.
God is Spirit!
