Here is a short and hardly believable, though true, story. If you have any knowledge or know who has knowledge of the "voice of thunder speaking through a man", please do reveal. I know this may not be the best place but I have not an idea as to where to ask such an extreme question in regards to this story.... I know a man who instantly after first becoming a believer in Christ went out to spread the word. Some of the people he went to had really hard hearts and it broke the man to tears after he walked away from the group. On his knees he wept because of this truth he now knew. Soon there after for somereason he became overcome with joy and then something very unexpected happened... He clapped his hands around his mouth and the voice of thunder spoke through him words that Christ spoke directly to the Father according to scripture. And in this situation the words were just the same, directed not to the man, but to God. It is not possible for this man, as he knew not scripture yet to express these words, even more impossible was for him to speak in the voice of Christ. It was just like the voice of thunder spoken of through scripture or also in revelation and I think the book of Daniel describes a mulitude of waters. (surely they mean powerful rushing waters). The man says he did not even try to speak but it was as if he temporarily had no control over anything, even over putting his hands to his mouth to speak. My best guess is it was the Holy Spirit for some reason doing this through the man, but why and for what reason leaves me confused. Nothing even remotely close to this has happened since to the man and ive certainly never heard of such conversion stories as many are saved without have such an experience. And yes I did witness this firsthand and I have never hallucinated. Understandable if you dont believe, but if anyone has any information please let me know. Or if you know a better place to ask please let me know. Thanks

It must have been amazing to hear. What were the words/scriptures spoken - this should help give some perspective on it. Have you had any contact with this person since- what kind of fruit has come from his life?

More than amazing was the event. The words he spoke were actually "forgive them Father they know not what they do". As for fruit, im not sure what you mean, but this guy is nothing like he was before he believed in Christ. In accord to galatians on fruits of the spirit he has displayed them. Now hes extremely confused and desperate for answers, not just answers as to that day.

I havn't heard of this particuliar thing happening, but on a similiar note I know I've been speaking to people and suddenly a word for them will flow out of my mouth. It has only happened a few times to me personally. And as your friend said it is as if one has no control and that Holy Spirit catches one completely unawares. So yes I believe what you describe is definetly possible.
Seems your friend has genuinely changed, but what is he struggling with at this point that you mentioned? Does he have a good group of supportive friends and a Church he currently attends?

God has spoken through a donkey & written on a wall, so I wouldn't rule anything out.

Whilst I haven't experienced or seen anything of the intensity that you describe, I've also experienced in prayer something similar to what GC describes.

I think the Lord gives these supernatural experiences to draw attention to something - maybe the Lord's heart for thr lost, His grief over their situation, & motivation for us to pray & reach out to them in this case.

People who have powerful supernatural experiences often need other well-grounded people around them to help them stay on-track.

Does he have a good group of supportive friends and a Church he currently attends?
Good question.

In answer to the question, no. Hes done some traveling the world looking for answers and hasnt exactly settled down in one spot since conversion. As for a good church, hes done a lot of reading scripture and cant find a church nearby that seems to fit in with what he sees in scripture. Mostly he just doesn't seem to see any working of God in the churches hes gone to. If you guys know a better place to ask the question, please let me know. Thanks.

Yes, we didn't address your main question. Thunder in the bible seems to be associated with the Lord moving in power & judgement in a way that people clearly see & feel. See BibleGateway.com - Keyword Search: thunder

Thunder precedes a coming storm:
Job 36:33
His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.

So I would see the voice of thunder speaking through a man as a word from God announcing a coming move of His power & judgement.
