SONIC ATTACK: THE BATTLE OF SOUNDS
II Kings 7:6-7, KJV
"6 For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life."
In the fictional movie 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', sonic attacks are exemplified and deployed on two occasions by the Talokans against the explorers seeking vibranium (a powerful mineral resource) in their ocean and then against the Wakandans for retribution. At the hearing of the sound, all hearers must give attention as the hearers come under a kind of spell and obedience, jumping into the waters at his own peril. Except the flow of the sound is broken or prevented against by using ear plugs, anyone who hears it can't but be summoned to do the bidding of that sound or its originator.
This is sonic attack: the battle of sounds. Sonic war is a reality hidden in the pages of the Bible. It'll surprise you to know that it is God who deploys it at an occasion I'll be talking about.
Yesterday, I made a reference to Samaria being besieged by the Syrians. The Syrians takes enough time to prepare for that coordinated attack and if not for God who steps in on behalf of Samaria, the Syrians would have broken them just by the reason of the famine that has now taken over their city. At the declaration of Elisha who says, "Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria", God immediately moves ahead to begin to seek the fulfilment of what this oracle of His has spoken. It is ours to speak for God but it is God's to bring it to pass. We must know what God would do and so let Him do it.
What did God do? He let the Syrians in their multitude hear the sounds of horses and chariots so much more that they took it for the hiring of mercenaries against them. In this way, they fled for their lives not thinking twice. They left their tents and their provision as it were, seeking only to run for refuge as fast as their legs could carry them. This is sonic attack: the battle of sounds and as such Elisha's prophecy found fulfilment. God initiated sound war to discomfit them and that's what God is doing to your enemy and any affliction in your body. It'll hear the voice of the Holy One of Israel and either die (if it's an affliction) or resurrect (if it's an organ or a virtue) that ought to live in you.
The Bible while talking about sounds and about the voice of the Lord also says:
"3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory" (Psalms 29:3-9).
Imagine what the voice of the Lord does and could do. The "sound" coming from the voice is a weapon that is fashionable and could be formed against an intent and objective. When God speaks, things are discovered and are accomplished. He spoke, ordering for light in Genesis and there was light. His voice, His speech, His Words and declarations do birth happenings and events.
I pray for you that the enemy shall hear your connection with the Lord and shall flee. Anything that is oppressing your body, your life, family and affairs shall hear the voice of the Almighty and be broken. The enemy would hear the voice of the Lord and they shall be put to flight. The voice of the Lord is heard this morning!
PRAYER: Lord, I acknowledge the effectiveness of your voice. Let it fight on my behalf.
