He Heard God’s Voice on a Mountain 😳
A man recounts climbing a mountain despite recent knee surgery and claims to have received an audible message from Jesus Christ telling him to 'walk a little farther,' which he interprets as a spiritual lesson about humility reinforced by discovering a boulder plaque with a relevant biblical verse.
Summary
The speaker describes an impulsive mountain hike undertaken in poor weather conditions while recovering from knee surgery. At a mountain stream, he stops on a rock to pray and ask God for guidance about his purpose. He experiences what he believes is a spiritual revelation that God's favorite trait is humility, and that this is what he needs to learn. While descending, he becomes physically frozen in place for what he estimates as 2 to 20 seconds, which he interprets as Jesus Christ's presence. At this moment, he claims to hear an audible voice from God instructing him to 'get up' and 'walk a little farther.' He then ascends the mountain again and discovers a large boulder with an embedded plaque inscribed with Psalm 121:1-2: 'I lift my eyes to the mountains. From where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.' He views this discovery as confirmation of God's message and concludes his experience by falling to his knees in worship.
