Peter & John's Voice taken from Acts 3:6:
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
God used the voice of His servants to express Himself!

How God Expresses Himself: Voice

Let's examine Paul's ministry that inspired the seven sons of Sceva.
Acts 10:11-12 " And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."

Paul's ministry was accompanies with signs and wonders. He has such power that anything that came in contact with him became healed. Even things that came in contact with him were taken to the sick and lame and they became healed. 

This is one way God uses things around us, in us and with us to heal the sick.

The staff is taken from Moses Staff. We use this as an example. Taken from Exodus 14:16:
"But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea."
 From the above scripture, we see how God used Moses Staff to express Himself. When Moses was faced with the challenge of parting the Red Sea, he simply stretched out his hand in obedience and the Lord expressed Himself! (Exodus 14:15-31)

Namann & the Dirty Water
2 Kings 5:14: "Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean."
God continues to use everything He created. The Jordan river was very dirty whereas there were clean pools to heal people. When Namaan was asked to go to the River Jordan, in the book of 2 Kings 5, he said, 'Look I have a better river in my country. Why should you ask me to go to that dirty Jordan water?' (2 Kings 5:12)

The above scripture shows that God can also use dirty things to fix those that think they are clean, the foolish things to confound the wise, the poor to confound the rich, because the battle is not always for the strongest, and the race is not always for the swift.

The sound of Pentecoast: It was a sound that God used to express Himself and then the Holy Spirit came upon them but first there was a sound and a rushing mighty wind!
Acts 2:1-2: "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."

It’s important to know God’s character,. Why? It gives us discernment. If we don’t know the character of God, how can we ever know who is from God and who is not from God?


 Justice:  

God is a God of justice. It means He will always make anything that’s wrong right.

Goodness:

 God is good—this fact never changes. 

Holiness:  

God is holy. In the Greek, to be holy is to be righteous—or to be right. Our God is a Holy God - He is thrice HOLY.

Characteristic of GOD

As we can see in man, there are aspects of us that tell someone else the kind of person we are. Although nothing can be compared to God in His fullness, there are certain aspects of Him that reveal  His nature, His person and who He is. Some of them are as follows:

  1. Love: He is a loving God
  2. Joy: He rejoices over us
  3. Peace : He is peaceful
  4. Calm

Aspects of GOD

Simply put, Grace is the person of Jesus, the son of God, He is the fullness of the GODHEAD.

Grace

There are three occurrences of the term "Godhead" in the King James Version (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9). Three different Greek words are used, but each one means “divinity.”

While the word “trinity” is not found in the Scriptures, the concept is found there from beginning to end. There is no question about it—the doctrine of the Trinity is divinely revealed biblical truth: our one God exists in three Persons.

Simply put, God is three (3) in one.

  1. The Earth Speaks of His Glory
  2. Flowers
  3. Colors
  4. Music

GOD is indeed too big to be comprehended in totality through man's way of thinking or man. But if we would take the time to examine our physical and spiritual body parts, we would begin to see how they reveal aspects of GOD.


  1. Head 
  2. Forehead 
  3. Temple 
  4. Eyes (Matthew 6:22)
  5. Nose/ Nostril (Ezekiel 16:12)
  6. Mouth/Lips
  7. Ears

  17. Thighs
  18. Knees
  19. Legs
  20. Angle
  21. Feet
  22. Toe
  23. Entire Body


They all speak of and revel aspects of GOD!

Body Parts That Reveal Aspects of GOD

There are so many animals, if not all, that reveals aspects of God that learning about Him becomes easier than we could ever imagine. It only takes paying attention to the things around us, animals, nature, man, the things He uses, and we are closer to knowing Him more everything.






The list is endless but some of these animals are as follows:
  1. Eagles
  2. Cow (as seen in Revelation 4:6-9)
  3. Lion 
  4. Man (because man is not an animal but made in the likeness of God, you will find more information on man by clicking here

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (Genesis 1:26)
This was how man came to being. God first spoke man into existence and then He formed man.

Of course this also includes the forming of Eve out of the ribs God took from man but this is further discussed with diagrams in the next series.  

Man

In Ephesians:8-9, we see how God chooses to use grace rathe than works. He does as He wills. Luke 3:8 even says that if we refuse to do God's work, He can raise up stones to do it. He is simply magnificent!
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. (Luke 3:8)

“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19:40)
God can use anything to express Himself, at anytime, in any place. He is not bound by time or tradition. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, He is God all by Himself!
Remember “Man has the ability to work, the Holy Spirit works as He will” -TBJ 

God can use any medium to express Himself

Paul & Silas prayed and sang until the Holy Ghost came down. In the case of Paul and Silas, it was a song that the Lord used to express Himself --
"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." (Acts 16:25-26)
"Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks."
When they were arrested and put in jail, they did not rebuke and bind. It was praise and worship that God used to express Himself through them.
