My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. John 10:27
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Mathew 4:4
The sheep know the voice of Jesus but the little lambs have to learn it.
Once a person gets converted, they come into the fold as a little lamb. The lambs familiarises with the voice of the shepherd by listening to that voice numerous times.
The voice of God is revealed in His word and therefore, if we are to know His voice, we must first of all study the scriptures diligently. The devils has occupied the minds of many believers with unnecessary information and made them too busy to study God's word. They are always having excuses for not studying God's word for themselves. Are you one of them?
Jesus longs for intimacy with each of the disciples that we may know Him, not theoretically but in reality of life. Both the little lambs and the mature sheep can have intimacy with the shepherd.
1John 2:13. I am writing to you, FATHERS, BECAUSE YOU KNOW HIM who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, CHILDREN, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE FATHER.
Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for THEY SHALL ALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST.
The voice of God and the knowledge of God and intimacy with Christ is not reserved for the mature believers but is for everyone, even the one who gets born again today can learn God's voice and fellowship with Him.
Hearing the voice of the shepherd leads fellowship with Him and following Him in our daily life. You can only follow when you see Him first of all then follow Him in the direction that He is walking.
God can be speaking to you everyday if you open your heart complete to Him and study His word daily. Will you begin today?
You are blessed to be a blessing
