Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Some people preach universal salvation where every person finds eternal life. This is not a biblically sound teaching. It is clear that many will reject the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. In one of the stories Jesus told He intimated that, “Even if someone were to come back from the dead, some still would not believe.

Those that are His, Can distinguish His Voice from Others

This is another indication whether you are born from above or not. Those that are His follow Him and listen only to His Voice. We find safety by knowing and obeying His Words.

If we are to recognize His voice from all others, we need to be students of the Bible. How can we recognize His Voice if we don’t know what He has already said?

I like to say this! My faith is not in my ability to hear from God, but in His ability to speak to me.

The Problem is that there are many voices bombarding us continually.

1Co 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

We have the voice of many teachers and opinions we have been exposed to over a lifetime. We have our own imitation that may be overactive. There is the voice of the enemy that is constantly trying to deceive us, the Bible calls “fiery darts”. Then we have the plethora of religious teachings out there. How can we know which one is true?

Out of all of the Voices, God’s Voice is many times not the loudest.

1Ki 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
1Ki 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1Ki 19:13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

Elijah knew the voice of God. He came in the still small voice.

I know in my time following Christ Jesus, every time I needed to hear from God, I could. Some times I could easily hear and other times I had to silence all of the other voices and test everything with the Word of God. He will never contradict Himself. He will never advise contrary to His written Word.

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
