"My sheep recognize My Voice. I know them, and they follow Me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of My Hand. The Father who put them under My Care is so much greater than the destroyer and thief. No one could ever get them away from Him. I and The Father are one heart and mind." (John 10:27-30)
Sometimes, it is just a faint whisper beneath the noise of this world. Just barely heard amongst the words of others and myself going about in my head. And then, there are the moments without any doubt, whatsoever, within my whole being. because His Voice is loud and clear. There are within my time of spending with Him each morning, of only my eyes "hearing" Him through His Word. My heart will actually leap at the verses, words, He has spoken for me to glean from.
It has taken time spent with Him to be in a place where I no longer doubt it is my ABBA speaking. It has taken millions of minutes spent in His Love Letter, His Word, to hear what He has written, they all still stand True and Strong. He always speaks in the same Truth and manner. It has taken Him to come into my heart, after I invited Him in, and thoroughly transform it to where I am today. To know He is continually cleaning my heart and mind with the power of His Voice. His Word.
I didn't "rest" on His promises until I started to take into myself His Words. To heed what He was saying. To have faith and trust The Words spoken applied to me.
Today, I have absolutely no desire to go back to the place where I do not "know His voice". Where I do not hear it loud and clear, nor take heed to His instructions. To be in a place where I am not conversing out loud or inside my head to "my Daddy". To a place where I am not in continual prayer with Him.
To a place where I was living and I was not His.
"My sheep recognize My Voice. I know them, and they follow Me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of My Hand. The Father who put them under My Care is so much greater than the destroyer and thief. No one could ever get them away from Him. I and The Father are one heart and mind."
