The Sound of Prayer
Jeff Ecklund
Genesis 2:19-20
Prayer should make a sound. This is a message intended to encourage and challenge people to pray, but also to ''break the sound barrier'' and learn to pray out loud!
When I think of prayer...I think of communication with God...Talking with God and listening to God....
Genesis 1:26 says ''Let us make man in our image''...
If you go back into Genesis not only was the spirit of God moving, but God was ''speaking''...in verse 3...
Gen 1:3 The God said...''Let there be light''....and there was light...
Then God called the light day...the darkness...night....
God was moving...God was speaking...and in that ''calling'' God was speaking and identifying things...
In the Genesis picture if you were transported there...You would have ''heard'' the sound that God was making...speaking, calling etc...
We see that God made man ''in our own image'' and gave man a mandate to fill the earth, rule...over the fish of the sea, birds of the sky...every living thing...
God was moving, speaking, calling...Now let's look at Adam...
Genesis 2:19-20 (NKJV)
19Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
20So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
Now we see that Adam is moving, speaking and calling...as part of the divine purpose of mankind created after God's image...
(We see in response to verse 20, Adam not having a helper...that God created a woman...and there has been communication problems ever since....jking...)
The overview is that God has an incredible plan, created man to rule and reign, to a partnership...a fellowship...a relationship...that is based and requires communication!
And then comes an enemy...
