Today's New Covenant nugget is from John 10:27
‘My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.’
Know Jesus, hear His voice and follow Him…
Notice Jesus says, “and I KNOW them.” The Greek word for ‘know’ literally means ‘intimate intercourse,’ as a husband ‘knows’ a wife… being intimate in our relationship with Jesus through worship, prayer and the Word is paramount if we are to hear and recognize His voice. Spending TIME in the Word, in prayer, praying in the Holy Ghost, just talking to the Lord and spending time in worship are all ingredients to a strong, intimate relationship with the Lord that will lead to hearing His voice clearly.
Jesus speaks to us from His Spirit to our spirit… He speaks to us through inner promptings, through a small still voice, through visions and dreams, through His living Word and through others. He continually speaks to every believer, but EVERY believer does not recognize His voice. Take the time to know Jesus and you will know His voice.
Take the time to have a real, vibrant relationship with Him, and as you do, you will hear His voice and follow Him from one victory to another!
In His amazing Love, Nick
