The Bible says MY sheep hear MY voice. Jesus is the good shepherd who gave his life for the sheep.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
Is Jesus your shepherd too?
Often it is what voice will we listen to. The voice that echos from the media and copies the mantras of the majority are often, if not always, simply repeated lies from the father of lies. The devil, who the bible says is the god of this world.
Salvation is not a trite matter. If you thought you were saved, or bought into the many lies religions teach, you don’t get a second chance when you die. You can believe we came from a big bang and we are just a big coincidence accountable to no one, but when you die it will matter only if what you believed was true.
A good hint is this. The devils lies are often louder than the Lord’s still small voice. Technology and constant business often drown out and distract us from hearing the Lord.
The devil lies AND BLINDS the LOST. And harasses the saved and continues to try to lie and make the saved ineffective and make God look bad.
Don’t miss this.
When I was lost, I never wondered if I was saved. If you asked me if I was saved, I would have simply redefined what that is by putting my trust in my religion and traditions of men.
Obviously, to get saved, you have to realize you are not. You need God to convict you of your sin and your need before you can look to Christ and be converted. Just like a cancer patient oblivious to the disease and having ZERO interest in chemotherapy is suddenly motivated to do whatever is necessary to live once HE IS CONVINCED OF THE DISEASE.
But…only really after being saved have I ever truly wondered if I was lost.
What I mean is the devil will hammer you with “You’re ok! You’re saved! He’s just a fanatic!” when you are LOST. And when you get saved, he will switch gears and hammer you with “Look at you! Look what you just did! You must be LOST”
If you don’t know what I am talking about, and think you are OK, please please please please EXAMINE YOUR SELF. CONSIDER YOUR WAYS. In all likelihood, you are right where the devil wants you and he will leave you alone until he has you in Hell.
