"My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish." - John 10:27-28 NLT

Hearing His voice

As our Good Shepherd, Jesus promises that we can hear and know His voice. This does not, however, have to be some mysterious, mystical process. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that God speaks to you quite often. I would venture to say He has spoken to you lately and may be speaking to you right now in some way.

God speaks to us through His Word. God will never lead us contrary to His written Word. It is our litmus test, our bedrock, our absolute.

God speaks to us through circumstances. Those circumstances can include failure. Jonah certainly heard God through his mistake. God may even speak to us through tragedy or hardship. C. S. Lewis wrote that, "God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains. It is His megaphone to arouse a deaf world."

God speaks to us through His peace. When we live in God's will, we enjoy His peace. Do you need God to make a crucial call in your life? Then listen for His peace.

And once we have heard God's voice, what should we do? We must follow. Jesus calls, we respond. He whispers, we move. We follow—and then we keep on listening.

He leads/speaks to me anytime anywhere.

We are given the answer in I John 2:6,
"He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked."

We are told by Christ Jesus to follow the law that the prophets mandated by the Will of the Most High. Many people simply forget the Old Testament, or the laws of God that the prophets of the Old Testament reiterated. Many people make the grave mistake of thinking that it is unecessary to follow those rules and evade those laws, but Christ Jesus HIMself denies that he came to destroy the law. Rather he came to fulfill it.

Remember,

Think not that I come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you , Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

-Mathew 5:17-19.


God Bless!
