Sound of wind

[mevosper]

How does one describe the sound of wind to the deaf person? Does wind have a sound?

I was thinking through a phrase that is mentioned quite often in the bible: "...he who has ears, let him hear...", "...ears to hear...". 

My apologies for the obvious here: We can hear with our physical ears, those who are not deaf. But once those words of God, maybe through Christ or Paul, have entered our brain to be processed, what do we do with that? There are spiritual ears that God uses to "talk" to our "inward parts": heart, mind, spirit. When I read or listen (audio) to the bible, I can "feel" the spirit "talking", bringing things to light. It's bringing other parts of the bible together in "alignment" with itself. Something like a virtual puzzle. I would have to say that it is a living spirit within me. 

But what of those that do not have those ears? How do they hear the sound of God's wind?

We can't see the wind only the things it moves.I love the soft hum of the breeze through the trees.

Matthew 11:15

Many people hear the call of God which comes through His revelation of Himself through two things-the creation and conscience within us.But only a few will respond because they are the ones who are truly hearing.

God is capable of communicating with us in all sorts of ways (9"So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. - Luke 11:9 and 27”Looking at them, Jesus said, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’” - Mark 10:27).  He can speak to us in our minds, through other people, through signs and symbols, through our dreams, etc.  If we earnestly want to hear Him, with faith and prayer, He is generous in what He gives us.

I dealt with a blind child who asked me what sunlight was.  I  toldd her, as we road, that when she felt warmth, it was sunlight.  When we were in the shade and it was cooler, there was no sunlight.  We translate these things into the senses they do have.  For a deaf person, I would also blow on an arm to explain wind, and place a hand out the window to explain strong wind sound..  Vibrations can be felt and strong vibrations would explain sound.  Vibrations are what our ears sense.

With New

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:7-8

Ears

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

Wind has both sound and motion. To those who hear, it is the sound.  To those who do not hear, it is the touch -- the motion of the wind.  When Christ said "He that hath ears to hear let him hear", he was speaking of the "inner ear" -- spiritual perception. There are many who choose to be deaf to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Therefore they do not have "ears to hear", even though their ears are perfectly normal.  That is why Scripture says "Today, if ye will hear His voice, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS".
