Spirit-filled believers hearing voices

Timmy · #1 07-29-2010, 12:25 PM

What are possible causes for Spirit-filled believers to hear (or think they hear) audible voices (not "still small voices" or such) that aren't from ordinary sources, such as other people, radio, TV, etc.? This poll allows multiple selections, so click as many as you think could explain it in different instances.

Note: this isn't just about your personal experiences, if any. It is about Spirit-filled believers in general. They (some of them) have reported hearing audible voices, now and then. Just wondering what your thoughts are on possible causes for them. Not that they are all from the same cause (hence, the allowing of multiple clicks).

BTW (edit): if Satan/Lucifer/The Devil might be the culprit, select "A demon talking". Lump them all together.

(This was inspired by the Does this offend you? thread.

I chose (among others) Other. Only allows 7 choices, so I had to draw the line somewhere! My "Other" was trickery. Someone else could be playing a trick on them. (I guess that almost counts as an "ordinary sources". But, just sayin'.)

Sometimes when I turn everything off at night and turn over to go to sleep I hear music and there's no music. I think it's just my ears ringing from all the droll and input from the day.

Probably should! It's the strangest thing. I'll turn over to expose both ears and can't hear a thing, but roll back on my side and I hear muffled music and its not every night either........

I feel a cell phone vibrating in my pocket sometimes, when it's not even there. It's a pretty common thing, apparently.

At night, I wake up at 3 in the morning to the call of all those evil customers who think the only person in the World is them! I brace myself, as my mind continues with one presumed scenario after another, those people who help pay my bills, and I see them coming at me with KNIVES!

I start counting sheep, but they keep coming. I imagine walking on the beach under the tone of crashing waves, holding the hand of my precious wife, but JAWS has to ruin it every time!

Those "Voices" are out there......
