“HIS DEEP CALLS TO MY DEEP!”
● Psalm 42:7 (NKJV) says, “Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.”
● Psalm 42:7 (New English Translation) says, “One deep stream calls out to another {Hb. deep calls to deep} at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me.”
● Waterfalls is also known as streams, which from the Hebrew often refers to the deep sea, but here, where it is associated with mount Hermon, and it probably refers to mountain streams. The word can be used of streams and rivers according to other passages of scripture. Also here in this verse, the psalmist alludes to the loud rushing sound of mountain streams and cascading waterfalls.
● Using the poetic device of personification, he imagines the streams calling out to each other as they hear the sound of the waterfalls. Finally, the “billows and waves overwhelm me,” the Hebrew seems to render this as they “pass over me.” So, as he hears the sound of the rushing water, the psalmist imagines himself engulfed in the current, and by implication he likens his emotional distress to such an experience.
● For me, it has been many years now that I began hearing a call within my soul from what sounded or felt like it came from deep, deep, down in a place of rippling waters representing the voice of my Father-God speaking to me. His voice comes from the deep or the depths of His supernatural mind speaking to my supernatural mind. That is why the natural mind can become confused and frustrated when hearing the voice of God, because the natural man from his or her natural mind does not receive the things of the Spirit of God. The natural mind does not receive them because it does not understand the wave link, or frequency from which God’s voice is being heard.
● At the start, His voice was foolishness to my natural mind, and could not know, could not comprehend, or could not understand His voice, because His words calling from the deep places of His supernatural mind or thoughts that were directed to my deep places of supernatural thoughts are known by being spiritually discerned. Yes, I had known God for many years, but over time I have come to know Him better, and with that came the ability to hear Him clearer.
● So, if you find that you are frustrated and confused about what you are hearing, it is possible that it is due to what you have been hearing yourself speak from deep within, and His deep has been calling out to the deep places in you. The fact is that you were created by God in eternity past long before you manifested as visible, or made your appearance into this natural realm.
● You are from God, and not from Adam, and even though you are seen as a natural man or woman, the fact is that you remain a supernatural spirit-being who according to 1 John 2:20, you [have the capacity to] know all things that is within the depth of Father-God’s mind.
