Spirit & Truth: Hearing Yahweh’s Voice v1

In the previous chapter, “The Torah and the Testimony“, we gave a very important teaching in preparation for this, even more important teaching on, hearing Yahweh’s voice. The reason that hearing Yahweh’s voice is so important is because all of Israel is commanded to “obey Yahweh’s voice”. We certainly cannot obey Yahweh’s voice if we cannot even hear it. But before we jump into the topic of Hearing Yahweh’s Voice, first we want to quickly recap the main points of last week’s presentation, on the Torah and the Testimony.

The Torah and the Testimony

In the “Torah and the Testimony” we talked about what the true definition of the Torah is, as well as why most Messianic teachers and leaders do not really know that definition.

We also talked about why there are more than one Torah. There is a Torah for the Firstborn Priesthood, a Torah for the Levitical Priesthood, and also a Torah for the Melchizedekian Priesthood.

We also discussed why we are presently part of the Melchizedekian Priesthood, which is why we should be following the Melchizedekian Torah. We talked about why the Messianic teachers and leaders do not understand this, and that is why most of them are still teaching bits and pieces of the Levitical Torah (which will not pertain to us until we come back to the land of Israel, after Armageddon).

We also talked about the relationship between these different Torot (not ‘Torahs’, Torot is a feminine plural), and the Spirit.

So, now, having all of that preparation, we want to talk about hearing Yahweh’s voice. Because, once again, we are commanded to ‘obey Yahweh’s voice’, and we certainly cannot obey Yahweh’s voice if we cannot even hear it.

Hearing Yahweh’s voice and obeying Yahweh’s voice: Two components

We will see that there are two main, primary components.
1. The first component is that of obeying His voice (listening for the Spirit), which means that we need to hear the Spirit’s voice.
2. The second part is that we need to keep His covenant. This is the specifics of the Torah, the commandments, the judgements, the ordinances, the statutes, the laws, etc.

Scriptural proof

We will reveal how, all throughout Scripture, we are commanded to both hear Yahweh’s voice, and to obdy His commandments (two things). We will also see that the prophets needed to hear Yahweh’s voice in order to write down His words, and the priesthood must be able to do the same today.

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 8:20
20 “To the Torah and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
(H7837: שַׁחַר Morning dawn, daybreak).

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 11:1-4
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 “Hear the words of this covenant [The one that Yahweh spoke], and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem…” [“Hear”, not read, not think, not make it up. Not check out the Talmud].
3 “And say to them, ‘Thus says Yahweh Elohim of Israel: “Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant
4 which I commanded your father in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and do according to all that I command you; so shall you be My people, and I will be your Elohim’…”

Shemuel Aleph (1 Samuel) 3:8-10
8 And Yahweh called Shemuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli perceived that Yahweh had called the boy. [The light comes on for Eli and he perceives that Yahweh is the one calling Shemuel].
9 Therefore Eli said to Shemuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Yahweh, for Your servant hears.’” So Shemuel went and lay down in his place.
10 Now Yahweh came and stood and called as at other times, “Shemuel! Shemuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears”.

Rabbinic legalistic concept

We will also see how the rabbinic order (Orthodox Judah) has created a legalistic (checklist) approach to Yahweh’s commandments, and how most Messianic groups follow the same concept. We will show how this is in error to the Melchizedekian order that we are currently under, and how Yahweh’s true purpose of His commandments are for His people to manifest His Son’s Spirit.

The Garden of Eden error

We will see how not listening to and obeying Yahweh’s voice (rather than our own thoughts or someone else’s voice) was the mistake that both Chavah (Eve) and Adam made in the Garden of Eden. And that we can make the same, drastic mistake today when we do not understand the importance of hearing Yahweh’s voice.

B’reisheet (Genesis) 3:8-10
8 And they heard the sound [קֹל] of Yahweh Elohim walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh Elohim among the trees of the garden.
9 Then Yahweh Elohim called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” [As if He did not know!]
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice [קֹל] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

Strong’s H6963
Kole; qol; קֹל
From an unused root meaning to call aloud;
A voice or sound; – + aloud, bleating, crackling, cry (+ out), fame, lightness, lowing, noise, + hold peace, [pro-] claim, proclamation, + sing, sound, + spark, thunder (-ing), voice, + yell.
Total KJV occurrences: 506

We talk about all of these things and so much more in Hearing Yahweh’s Voice. Whether we are ministers of Yahweh’s word or members of the flock, this is a very important study for all of us today.
