The voice of the Lord comes as a loud sound like a tidal wave of rushing waters within the middle ear, because it has been clogged with wax that has built up a wall against the normal flow of sound that fills the senses with the voice of love.
This loud voice is the sound of God’s anger against the lies and deceits of the enemy of God, and therefore his anger is directed toward his own because they have chosen to believe the lies which have led them down a dark and dangerous path. The darkness of the mind where the Lamp of Truth has been put out, like a wick smothered by lack of air. The surrounding darkness sucks up the oxygen and breathing becomes difficult as the darkness is suffocating and blinding.

We have become deaf, dumb, and blind to the Word of God, we have moved away from his presence so that we cannot hear or see him, so therefore we have no word to speak. Having lost our way in the darkness, we have no voice to cry out, no sure direction of movement and hopelessness and despair have become our constant companions. We have reached the end of our rope, there seems to be no way of escape. We can’t see, can’t hear, can’t speak, but we can feel first the fear that engulfs us, we can feel the edge of the cliff on which we stand giving way. We are about to fall into the abyss of the darkness, plunging headlong into the eternal darkness to which lies and deception have brought us. Feeling is the only resource left to us, so let us feel our way by touching the wall we face and discover its length and breadth. Let us access our options and move slowly and deliberately even as we scale the heights of the wall before climbing to the end of our rope.

Even just a spark of hope can be fed by feeding its flame. Adding faith to the shred of hope creates a fire of desire to escape the darkness and find the marvelous light. When desire is ignited the heart begins to pump with life and its flow strengthens the whole body which brings the ears, eyes and mouth into the perfect union of worship toward the God who appears to those in the midst of their darkness into the light of his truth, His way, which is the life.
