I’ve watched way too many Discovery+ shows and weird YouTube videos to doubt everyone who says they are hearing voices. Although most of the people report hearing them because they are looking for views, some of the stories are real. I know they are real because the Bible reports such things.

As Jesus came up out of the water at His baptism, this happened. “And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” - Mark 1:11, ESV.

The weirdest thing is that the report doesn't say Jesus was the only one to hear it. Everyone there must have heard it, too. So instead of one guy needing meds to quieten the voices inside his head, everyone needed them. Or, this was the real deal: an audible voice coming out of thin air.

You can doubt it if you want, but the events that happened in Jesus’ life following that one proved Jesus really was the Son of God. And the fact that He returned to heaven tells us that God really was pleased with Him. People needed to know this information to believe in Jesus for salvation. This is a true account of an audible voice coming out of nowhere to convey information.

Listen, if you are walking closely with God, don’t discount the audible voice or even the silent urgings of God. You are not going crazy. God still speaks to us. Write them down. Ask God to confirm what you heard. When He does that, do what he said. He is not talking just to hear Himself talk. It’s important! - Pastor Mike

BTW, A man is drilling in the ice to fish when he hears a voice call out from above. “There are no fish under the ice.” The guy looks up but doesn't see anyone. He asks, “Can I at least drill and see for myself?” The answers in a louder tone. “There are no fish under the ice!” The guy looks up and still can't see anyone. He thinks to himself - maybe I'm just hearing voices. He continues drilling. The voice bellows louder than ever! “There are no fish under the ice!!” Now the man begins to tremble as he asks, “Who speaks to me?” The voice responds. “The manager of the skating rink!”
