God's voice is silent, and His presense is invisible in this realm tangible to the natural senses. This causes many to simply say He doesn't exist. But God is ever purposeful in the decisions He makes to include why He's intagible to your natural senses. And if you'll just spend some time with Him, He'll explain what His rationale is . . .In Genesis 1:26, the Godhead made two statements concerning Man and Woman that would define them eternally: (1) let Us make them in Our image and likeness, and (2) let them have dominion. I believe the second statement was born of the first; it wouldn't be true that we're made in His image and likeness unless we had our own domain over which to rule. God has a domain; in order to truly make us like Himself, He'd have to give us a domain.
It is unfortunate for Man to say that seeing is believing because the fact that you do NOT see Him is truly gift from Him—truly a result of His love for us. Ask yourself, if you could see God's face or hear God's voice in this realm, would you question who actually owns this realm? Most people would. Some would, perhaps even humbly, relinquish control in the earth to God as the creator. But that is specifically why He made Himself invisible to you. Because there'd be no question in your "natural" mind that the natural realm belongs to you.
Be ever mindful that position in God's kingdom is both a privilege and a responsibility. Having our own domain over which to rule is definitely a privileged state of existence, but we are also charged with its upkeep. All manner of evil exists in this world. But our mentality should be to take back what is rightfully ours instead leaving our domain over to our adversary. You may be looking to the Heavens to solve earth's problems, but God gave us this realm over which to rule. He also has since given us Christ's blood, the Holy Spirit, and His written Word, the Holy Bible. This being true, when it comes to making this world the world believers truly want to live in, the Heavens actually look back at us.
