Jesus said in John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:” So how do we hear Jesus’ voice? Is it not by God’s Spirit?
Jesus said John16:12-16[SUP] “[/SUP]I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.[SUP]13 [/SUP]Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.[SUP]14 [/SUP]He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.[SUP]15 [/SUP]All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.[SUP]16 [/SUP]A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.”
The Holy Spirit comes in Jesus’ name John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” And the Spirit testifies to us of him John 15:26 “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:”
This is also how we are sealed, as this is how Jesus speaks to us, and this is also how we also speak by “His voice” or His Angel. This is a great mystery, but I will try to explain. In Exodus 23:20-21 “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
This Angel signifies the Holy Spirit, notice the wording above because the wording reveals this mystery. We already saw how The Holy Ghost comes in the Lords name above (John 14:26) now also notice the words of Jesus concerning knowing the way, and the place which the Lord has prepared.
John 14:1-4 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.[SUP]2 [/SUP]In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.[SUP]3 [/SUP]And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.[SUP]4 [/SUP]And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.”
So it is the Fathers Spirit that speaks to our hearts His words, and keeps us in the way we must walk, and by Him we hear Jesus voice. This mystery is also shown in Revelation 1:1 “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:”
Again notice the wording, God the Father gives unto the Son Jesus Christ His words, and then Jesus sends the words via “his angel” (Holy Spirit) by which it is signified. To signify is to “mark” or to seal, and this is how the Lords seals those who are of His seed, or His anointed priesthood.
So not only those who have received this seal hear the words of God, but we also speak that which we have heard by God’s Spirit.
