"But you don’t believe me because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
JOHN 10:26
The inner voice that resides in your heart is the Lord. All good things come from Jesus. The world is a spiritual one. Many false realities have sprung up over time to verify what the mind can comprehend. The truth is Jesus Christ.
The body is created by God to be a temple - God is a spirit - a spirit of love. As you accept his son Jesus - your heart will be transformed - the inner voice grows louder in obedience - the Lord wants you to himself in eternity. As you walk in obedience - and follow the Lord with all your heart and all your mind - the heavens will open, and an outpouring of favor will be given by the Lord - for the glory of Christ Jesus.
The way of following Jesus comes at the cost of following yourself or that which leads to quick self-motivating pleasure. To be drawn by Christ is to hear his voice calling you from the inside - at which time, a decision of choice will be given. The voice of the Holy Spirit within is always kind, loving, peaceful and patient. Will you hear the call of the Lord and go with him?
Belief does not come from the eyes but from the heart and mind. Faith is brought forth by making a personal decision to believe in Jesus and to follow him for life everlasting. If you put new wine in an old wine bottle is not the wine ruined? New wine must be placed in a new bottle. As it is with us - we are to shed the old beliefs and thoughts of the world and begin new in baptism of The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. It is this new Spirit of the life of Christ that is born unto you in faith - the new spirit must be nurtured by the word and love of God - while the old human spirit is snuffed out and allowed to fade by the new choices you make for love not self.
