'But he that entereth in by the door is the
shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice:
and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.' - John 10:2-3
JOHN
10:1-21
This
verse promises all who are God's sheep that they not only can, but that they
do, hear His voice.
Many
born-again people doubt the truth of this statement based on their experience.
They
don't think they can hear God's voice.
However,
the Word of God is true - not our experience.
The
harmony between what this verse says and what our experiences say is that it is
our new born-again spirit that hears God's voice.
Although
God has spoken and still does speak in an audible voice at times, very few
people experience this.
God
speaks to our inner person (spirit) and our inner person hears Him.
The
problem comes when we aren't sensitive to, or controlled by, our spirit but are
walking in the vanity of our mind.
The
Bible calls this walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-18).
Man is
a spirit, soul, and body. Our spirits are as perfect as they will ever be in
heaven.
If we
will change our thinking so that we believe what God says in His Word about who
we are and what we have, then this agreement between our spirit and soul forms
a majority and our flesh will experience the life of God that has been
deposited in our spirits.
Prayer,
Bible study, fasting, fellowship, etc. are ways of refocusing our mind's
attention away from the voice of this world and back to the voice of our
Shepherd who is constantly communicating with our spirit.
If we
fail to renew our minds, we can live our entire time on this earth without
experiencing the abundant life that Jesus provided for us.
Listen,
and you will hear His voice speak to you through His Word today.
Jamie and I are so thankful our path has crossed
with yours. In fact, we believe it was a divine appointment. Over fifty years
ago, an encounter with God changed our lives forever, and we believe He’ll do
the same for you. We consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to share
the truth of His life-changing power and grace with you.
God called us to teach the truth of the Gospel to
the body of Christ with special emphasis on God’s unconditional love and the
balance between grace and faith. We are doing our best to fulfill that call by
teaching at conferences, in churches, on radio and television, by training
others at Charis Bible College, and by developing ministry materials designed
to help you in your relationship with the Lord.
