In spiritual warfare, it is important to know to discern between the voice of God and the contrary voices of the enemy. Until one is able to discern voices, he/she will never be able to silence them therefore will only end up to be a victim of the evil one.
From Scriptures, we discover 5 major dangerous voices and their dramatic consequences over some people who failed to discern and silence them properly :
✒✒✒THE VOICE OF THE SNAKE IS THE
VOICE OF DECEPTION THAT CREATES DISOBEDIENCE AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO SIN ✒✒✒
IT IS WRITTEN
Genesis
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD
God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat
of every tree of the garden?
2 And
the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
garden:
3 But
of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And
the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For
God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And
when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to
the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit
thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
✒✒✒THE VOICE OF ACCUSATION CREATES
GUILT AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO FLEE ✒✒✒
IT IS WRITTEN
Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) The wicked flee when no man pursueth:
but the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:1 (MSG) The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready
to run off even when no one's after them; Honest people are relaxed and
confident, bold as lions.
Exodus 2:14-15 (KJV) 14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and
a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And
Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. 15 Now when Pharaoh heard
this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh,
and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
✒✒✒THE VOICE OF JEZEBEL IS THE VOICE OF INTIMIDATION THAT CREATES
FEAR AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO QUIT✒✒✒
IT IS WRITTEN
1 Kings 19:2-4 (KJV) 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto
Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life
as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and
came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and
came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he
might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not
better than my fathers.
✒✒✒THE VOICE OF THE MULTITUDE CREATES
DISCOURAGEMENT AND CAUSES PEOPLE TO BE CONFUSED AND GET STUCK ✒✒✒
IT IS WRITTEN
Mark
10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and
say, Jesus, [thou] Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his
peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to
be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort,
rise; he calleth thee.
✒✒✒THE VOICE OF AHITOPHEL IS THE
VOICE OF BITTERNESS AND HATRED THAT CREATE REBELLION AND CAUSE PEOPLE TO STRAY
AND COMMIT ABOMINATION✒✒✒
2 Samuel 15:31 And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is]
among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn
the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
2 Samuel 16:21 Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy
father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall
hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that
[are] with thee be strong.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of
the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all
Israel.
23 And the counsel of
Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at
the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and
with Absalom.
WE PRAY TO SILENCE THOSE VOICES IN OUR LIVES
✒✒✒IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I
LIFT UP THE VOICE OF THE LORD MY GOD AND MY CREATOR AFAR ABOVE ANY VOICE OF DECEPTION,
ANY VOICE OF ACCUSATION, ANY VOICE OF INTIMIDATION, ANY VOICE OF THE MULTITUDE, AND ANY VOICE OF AHITOPHEL.
Psalms 29:3 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.
✒✒✒ CONTRARY VOICES, WHEREVER SOURCE
YOU COME FROM, BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, I COMMAND YOU TO BE
SILENCED RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST !!!
2 Samuel 22:45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as
soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. 46 Strangers shall fade
away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

!!! HEAVENLY FATHER, TAKE CONTROL !!!
