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.

Jesus said Luke 21:15 “For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.” And also here in Matthew 10:20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” This is also shown as speaking with new tongues(new song) when we are made a new creature in Christ. Mark 16:17 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;”

So those who are born of God speak the words of God by His Spirit, but the
world also speaks what it hears by another spirit. Jesus said
John 8:38 “I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.(which is the devil)

John the Baptist also showed this when he said in John 3:31-33 “He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.[SUP]33 [/SUP]He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.”


So you have the voice of the Lamb given by God the Fathers Spirit, and you have the
voice of a man/beast by the father of this world’s spirit. (red dragon) That’s what we see in
Revelation 13:11 “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”

So some will say they come in the name of the Lamb,(Christ) but their
words are not of God’s Spirit (or voice.) But let me take you even deeper into this mystery concerning the voice of the Spirit, and how all God’s host speaks with the same voice as the Lord.


Notice these words here concerning the last trump in
1 Thessalonians 4:16 “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

Now this verse and several other verses have caused some to believe that the archangel Michael is Jesus, but that is not what the Spirit is saying in this verse. What is being shown here is those who have God’s Spirit dwelling in them will speak with the Lords voice, as we saw earlier. We see this also in the anointed priesthood of the Lord who lift up their voice like a trumpet.


Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Before the fall of Jericho the Lord gave us a sign that would precede the fall of this world in Joshua 6:4 “And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.”(as you also see 7 angels with 7 trumpets in Revelation 8:2 )

And on the 7
[SUP]th[/SUP] time notice what happened
Joshua 6:5 “And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” This great shout of the people is symbolizing the great voice of the Lord speaking through his entire host.

Joel 2:11 “And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
