Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
The uniqueness of our new covenant relationship with the Lord is this: it is not a matter of our keeping outward commands, but of discovering His voice as an inner consciousness.
Thus, it is not being outwardly told what to do; it is being prompted from within concerning what to do.
So expect the Lord’s voice to come from within you.
And the way you will discover His voice is by His inner operation that manifests itself by inward promptings.
What is important then is how we respond to these promptings.
Let me give an illustration.
The most basic function of my first PC computer years ago was a little blinking “C” at the bottom of the screen, known as the “C prompt.”
Its appearance on the screen told me that the computer was operating and was prompting me to enter a command.
The prompt was the computer’s way of speaking to me; it was the computer’s voice.
Of course, when I responded to the prompt by entering a command, it opened up a wealth of information on the screen.
Everything is instantly available to you by simply responding to the “prompt.”
In the same way, as believers indwelt by the life of God, we have promptings within us.
These promptings are the Lord’s way of speaking to us.
The promptings are the Lord’s voice.
They are telling us that God is operating in us to open up all the riches of His life to our inward parts.
However, to get the benefit of God’s life within, we need to respond properly to the prompting.
In our daily life, when we say “Amen” to the prompting within and go along with it, we are obeying the voice of the Lord.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
