"To [God] who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; behold, He speaks forth with His voice, a mighty voice" (Psalm 68:33).
Have you ever thought about the appearance of God in the beginning? In the beginning, God didn't have any specific form but He embraced the whole universe as the brilliant Light that contains the sonorous sound (Ref: John 1:1, 1 John 1:5). He rules the spacious universe alone with the original light and voice. At some point, He planned 'human cultivation' to gain true children and share love with them forever.
Afterwards, God created the heavens and the earth and all things in them, and they were made through His original voice (Genesis 1:1-26). Thus, all creatures are able to discern the original voice and they obey it right away even transcending space and time.
In Luke chapter 18 and Mark chapter 10 it describes incidents that blind men quickly received answers through Jesus' original voice. What is the secret to receiving such fast answers?



The original voice!
The voice that created day and night, the sky and the sea,
and the earth and plants and trees, and a man!

You have to trust it from the bottom of your heart

Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and performing signs. By doing so, He confirmed His Word. Jesus caused the lame to walk and jump, the blind to see, the mute to speak, and the deaf to hear. By Him lepers received healing and demons went out from people. He healed many people of every kind of disease and infirmity.
Such news was spread widely, so a large crowds of people gathered wherever He went. One day, He went to Jericho and there was a blind beggar named Bartimaeus sitting by the road (Mark 10:46-52). When he heard that it was Jesus he began to cry out without hesitation.
"Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
He cried out with a loud voice because he believed that Jesus could open his eyes. Also, it is his profession of faith in Jesus' having come as the Savior that he called Jesus 'Son of David'. This is because all people of Israel knew that the Savior would be born to David's generations.

You need to cry out in prayer in the way the justice is met

Before he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam, the first man, lived on things God provided without toil. But he disobeyed the Word of God and ate from the tree. Then, sin entered him and he became a man of flesh. From then, men came to eat bread only by the sweat as recorded in Genesis 3:19. This is the justice of God. So, we must 'sweat' to receive answers from God.
This spiritually symbolizes that we need to cry out in prayer fervently with all our hearts and minds. Just as Jacob gained blessings by asking until his thigh was dislocated (Genesis 32:24-30) and Elijah prayed earnestly to the point of putting his face between his knees to receive the answer of great rain during the three-and-a-haft years of drought (1 Kings 18:42-46), we must cry out with faith and love in prayer with all our hearts, minds, and devotion. Then, we can move the heart of God and receive answers quickly.

You must have perfect faith that is unchangeable

When Bartimaeus cried out, people were sternly telling him to be quiet. But his feeling wasn't hurt and he didn't feel disheartened, either. Rather, he kept crying out all the more. Because he was firm in his faith that he would be able to see if he met Jesus, he couldn't miss the chance, no matter what people said to him. Then, Jesus stopped and said, "Call him here."
In the same manner, we also need to show the deeds of faith—crying out fervently in prayer—no matter what kind of hardship we may be in.
In Matthew chapter 15 appears a woman in the Canaan. She received answers because she broke her pride and totally humbled herself. On the contrary, some people don't rely on God or their feeling get hurt by trivial matters though they ask for a big problem to be solved.


You need the deeds of obedience that casts off your 'cloak'

When Jesus let Bartimaeus come before Him, saying, "Call him here", Bartimaeus threw aside his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.
Here, the 'cloak' spiritually stands for every kind of untruthful heart such as the hearts of pride and arrogance. It indicates that we have to cast off all the filthy and stinking sins to meet God who is holy.
Jesus went to the blind beggar and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said to Him, "Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!" And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.
In the same way, we have to repent of each and every sin that the Spirit reminds us of with faith in Jesus Christ and obey the voice of the Spirit with no hesitation. We hope you will become qualified for receiving answers in the light of justice and boldly speak of your heart's desires and receive answers when the original voice issues forth asking you, "What do you want Me to do for you?".
