LIFE: Knowing The Voice Of God!

Today, there are a myriad of voices clamoring for your attention.

And in the midst of this clamor there is the “still small voice of God;”

The voice of LIFE, in the midst of a world dead in sin;

The voice of the Creator of all that exists;

The voice of the infinite wisdom and intellect of God;

The voice of Him who wrote the Word of God and presented it to mankind;

The voice of the Word of God made flesh, Christ Jesus

The only voice His Sheep will listen to.

'I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate,

But climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.

The man who enters by the Gate is the Shepherd Of His Sheep.

The watchman opens the Gate for Him, and the Sheep listen to His voice.

He calls His own Sheep by name and leads them out.

When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them,

And His Sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

But They will never follow a stranger;

In fact, They will run away from him

Because They do not recognize a stranger’s voice.'

Jesus used this figure of speech,

But they did not understand what He was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again,

'I tell you the truth, I AM the gate for the Sheep.

All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers,

But the Sheep did not listen to them.

I AM the Gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved.

He will come out, and find pasture.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;

I have come that They may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL.

I am the Good Shepherd.

The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

The hired hand is not the Shepherd who owns the Sheep.

So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the Sheep and runs away.

Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

The man runs away because he is a hired hand

And cares nothing for the Sheep.

I am the Good Shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me--

Just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father--

And I lay down My life for the Sheep.

I have other Sheep that are not of this sheep pen.

I must bring them also. They too will listen to My voice,

And there shall be One Flock and One Shepherd.

The reason My Father loves Me is that I lay down My life--

Only to take it up again. No one takes it from me,

But I lay it down of My own accord.

I have Authority to lay it down and Authority to take it up again.

This Command I received from my Father.'

At these words the Jews were divided.

Many of them said,

'He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to Him.'

But others said,

'These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon.

Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?'

Today, there are many

Who do not enter the sheep pen by the Gate, Christ Jesus.

The True Watchmen open the Gate and Christ Jesus comes in

And He speaks to His Sheep; those who belong to Him.

Christ Jesus calls His Sheep by name; He knows the name of each one.

He leads them out and goes ahead of them

And His Sheep follow Him because They KNOW His voice.

But they will never follow a STANGER;

In fact, They will run away from him

Because They do not recognize a STRANGER'S voice.

Today, there are many STRANGER'S

Speaking to those who claim the Name of Christ Jesus

Many who claim the name of Christ Jesus

Are listening to voices other than His.

They have not opened up His Word

And allowed Christ to speak to them personally—intimately,

So that they would KNOW His voice.

Many have not received the Anointing from the Anointed One,

That teaches them to KNOW the voice of God,

Or if they have they are not walking in it and their hearing has become dull.

Today, those who belong to Christ Jesus run from the STRANGERS

Who claim to speak in His Name.

These STRANGERS are thieves and robbers!

They belong to Satan who came to steal and kill and destroy.

Only those who enter through the TRUE GATE, Christ Jesus, will be saved.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus will avoid all the FALSE GATES;

Those gates Satan decorates with everything that appeals to the flesh,

And presents to mankind as “spiritual.”

When the HOUR OF TRIAL comes,

That is going to come upon the whole world

To test those who live on the earth (Revelation 3:10);

Then, the STRANGERS will flee, for they care nothing for the flock.

The WOLF, Satan, then comes an scatters the flock.

The TRUE FLOCK, The Sheep who KNOW the voice of their God,

Will be kept from this TRIAL.

The TRUE FLOCK know the Good Shepherd and His voice,

Just as the Father knows the Son and the Son the Father.

There is One FLOCK and One Shepherd.

The TRUE FLOCK has spent “time” with Christ Jesus

And they KNOW Him intimately.

They have listened to His voice so often and with such attention,

That they cannot be fooled by any other voice.

Many will be swept into Hell because the do not KNOW the voice of God.

To the TRUE FLOCK the voice of the spirit of the world is anathema!

It is a call to the greatest funeral ever known; It reeks of the smell of death!

Look around at all of Satan's death traps!

Look at those who are caught in these traps.

They are just like the animals

Caught in the traps of those who trap for animals.

Only if they call out for the trap releaser, Christ Jesus, can they be set free.

Nevertheless, everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.

But these who call, will call with everything within them;

They will call knowing that they are dying 

And that only Christ can same them from Eternal Death!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
