Book Reviews of NIV Audio Bible Dramatized CD
Book Review: Hearing the Word of God in South Africa
Summary: 5 Stars
Zondervan's Dramatized NIV Audio Bible is a blessing! Neither us or friends who recommended it have anything negative to say about it. The local store price in South Africa was too steep so we ordered through Amazon for excellent pricing and delivery! I've just made an mp3 listening copy of the whole set using Apple's iTunes software and the set can now safely be put away out of reach from the kids, who also love listening to the Bible stories. For me the different voices enhance my ability to discern who is speaking and the music in the background is totally non-intrusive. The black carry case it comes in is robust and compact with a nice chunky zipper. The case has no handle, but we're not carrying it.
The first time I really listened to Zondervan's Dramatized NIV Audio Bible was September 2006 in my friend's car while we drove to a faraway town being sent by God through His Holy Spirit to free a woman who was oppressed by an evil spirit of suicide for 17 years. I was picked up at 05h00 and immediately we started listening to the Word of God in the car. We listened into the sunrise and it was awesome, so alive! We were really stoked and before we got halfway through our 5-hour drive, the Holy Spirit fell on us and started prophesying and preparing us for helping the woman so that we did nothing in the flesh but only as the Father in heaven revealed to us. It was awesome! Over the span of 2 days the Holy Spirit took us into this woman's childhood through words of discernment and visions, clearing the hurts and bitterness, showing her who to forgive and what debts of the heart to write off, how to clean the Temple of her heart for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. She would sit vigorously rubbing her wrist with the edge of her other hand's thumbnail, saying: I have an overwhelming desire to kill myself. Before that she would travel with a razor blade in case she had a chance to kill herself. She had tried many times before, but by the grace of God she always failed and many of those failures were through divine intervention!
What an awesome God we serve!! How awesome is the gift of the Holy Spirit and the victory of Christ Jesus! Her final surrender was followed by us taking authority over evil as the Spirit led and then there was silence in the room. During that silence we waited for God to fulfill His Word to us of setting her free, God being the One who does it, not us. Then briefly my eyes were opened into the spirit and I saw ministering angels stream into the room through the ceiling and surround the woman so lovingly, caressing her, and then I knew - it was done! The Joy of the Lord welled up in me and I asked her: Is there something you want to tell us? She nodded - yes. Then tell us please! She quietly said: I'm too afraid to say it because I'm afraid it will go away. Please tell us, it won't go away! Then she testified: I have such an overwhelming peace over me!
How awesome!! Our mighty sovereign God freed her without a sound in the room, just peace! I was so stoked I could scream and run and jump but we were in her bedroom and I didn't want to scare her.
Many say the Bible is the Word of God. That is not entirely true. God speaking is the Word of God. The Bible is an ancient record of the Word of God spoken to those people and we have the benefit of their experiences BUT what is the now-spoken Word of God to you as a person?
Hear what the Father says to you through the working of the Holy Spirit. Hear the Word and do it and know that you are a child of God because the Holy Spirit reveals it every day and many times daily! For a clue to this read (or listen to) 1 Samuel 3:1 to 19. This is how Jesus lived and how we are encouraged to live: people of action, hearing God's Word (the Word being Christ revealed through the Spirit, the Word being the Joy of the Lord, our strength) and not only hearing, but doing, being doers of the Word just like Jesus and many others before and after Him!
So don't just listen to the Audio Bible and don't just listen to the scriptures being preached on a Sunday. We are all living epistles and God is writing His Word on the pages of our hearts NOW. Listen to the Father in heaven for yourself in your quiet time and He will speak to those who knock and seek, and He will give more to those who are faithful with the talents (words and spiritual knowledge) He entrusts to them. And He is faithful to every Word which He speaks now, just as He was faithful in the Bible stories because He is not a man that He should lie and His Word does not return to Him void but accomplishes what He sent it for.
We are vessels for the Living Water, receiving the Word from the Father through hearing by the action of the Holy Spirit and then we contain the Word and then we pour out the Word where, how and when and to whom the Father instructs us. Then we hear, believe and do, proving our love to God in obedience to Him. Cleanse your vessel through first forgiving those who hurt and offended you throughout your life, then repent asking forgiveness, then ask the Father for His Holy Spirit to dwell in you. If someone at any time offends you, forgive them, bless them, pray for them, help them and never cease doing that because even though they do not deserve it, because Christ forgave us although we do not deserve it. In this way we are like Jesus when we forgive others and keep on forgiving. Fail to forgive and you are imprisoned by the Father in heaven and handed over to the torturers (read Matthew 18:18 to 35) and that is oppression by our enemy with approval from our Father in heaven because we who say we are Christians did not do as Christ did at the cost of death - forgive those who wronged us even though they do not deserve it.
So this is a testimony of how we enjoyed Zondervan's Dramatised NIV Audio Bible here in sunny South Africa!
Blessings to you all!! (fukanzu at gmail dot com)
