Episode 18 dives deeper into last weeks truth of "If I can't hear God's voice, He can't heal my heart." You'll hear all about John 10 and the guidance it gives us in knowing God's voice and hearing God's voice above the noise in this world. God put it boldly on my heart that it all has to begin with knowing the spiritual condition of my own heart, learning His voice by getting in His word, and then begin trust His plans even when I cannot see past my circumstances.
Knowing The Spiritual Condition of Your Heart
John 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice I know them and they follow me.
Example: In the movie 101 Dalmatian's when the puppies were following their parents Pongo and Perdita through the snowstorm when fleeing from the evil Cruella de Vil. The puppies were emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted. At one point they had to turn around because they were going the wrong way. I can see it so clearly there was one of the puppies who put his sweet little head down and turned around without even seeing his daddy. He trusted him, he knew his voice, and he knew he would always lead him to safety. This is just like our relationship with Christ. When we begin to really understand who He is and His voice, we can trust Him when we aren't sure exactly what's happening.
John 10:1-5 - “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
He who does NOT enter the sheepfold is a thief. Meaning: Evil, Sin, & Destruction (outside/worldly noise)
He who enters the door is the shepherd. Meaning: God entering in our HEART.
The Shepherd leads and goes before the sheep. Meaning: The Lord, our light, ALWAYS leads us.
A stranger they will NOT follow. Meaning *Sin always makes us lead our own life, the enemy leads us to the sin then we choose to indulge in it. *
Let's stop and discern all the noise we're allowing to enter our life. Who and what are we hearing from? Does it leave us feeling safe and secure? Or squeamish and dirty?
If you're like me you may find yourself unfollowing, unsubscribing to blogs, deleting playlists, and not spending money on certain things or at certain places. Join me this week in getting quiet with God and asking Him to reveal these things in our lives so we can more clearly hear from Him or learn what His voice sounds like if you've never felt like you've experienced
