My sheep hear my voice

John 17:17 (KJV)

17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth

Not ONLY head knowledge but from the heart and the greater one within. 

My sheep hear my voice and they obey me, and they listen to me. You know they say we're under the New Covenant and everything has been nailed to the cross? In other words were not under the law. Many people use that in biblical circles to twist the word of God and add and subtract to that word. Christ said he is the way the truth and the life. I'm referring to the biblical Jewish Christ whom was born a Jew and was not a pagan or was not an idol worshiper. The one the scriptures testify to. There is a doctrine once saved always saved that some people dispute. Christ said those who endure to the end will be saved. Mathew 24:13 Paul said he finished the race/The good fight. You know it is written if the blind lead the blind both will fall into a ditch. That is Luke 6.39. I could understand being blind when it comes to the faith of true biblical Christianity. But many people are deceived. You need to know whom the person of Jesus Christ really is. There are so many deceived. I've understood that he really is and as it is written and there are reprobates with deprived minds that don't love the truth nor know it. On the day of Pentecost people were baptized in the Jordan River. This was done by John the Baptist who eventually ended up in prison and there he wondered if the Messiah that he baptized was the true Messiah. See he feared for his life. In the meanwhile he was pondering such as the lord Jesus Christ was healing people, raising the dead, and doing many great miracles. Incredible! Jesus Christ taught that his sheep deny themselves. You have to come out of the wicked ways of the world and obey him. But many people don't obey him and actually live a lie and just as written they are reprobates many don't know they are deceived. They don't hear his voice and they don't listen. As Christ himself said for those who have ears let them hear. But deceived reprobates don't have ears and mostly "refuse" to listen. They don't hear. They are blind. It's one thing to be imperfect and have a fallen nature. But it's another thing to not even acknowledge the truth and to follow another gospel and another Jesus Christ just as God had put in his word. They've been LED astray. So in saying this what is the identification a true believer in Messiah. First of all we have to look at doctrine. Do true believers who are known as Christians follow true biblical doctrine? Do true believers obey the teachings of the Gospel that is God-breathed? I'm astonished perhaps troubled that so many people don't love the truth and it's so hard to reach the lost who don't even know that they are lost. And the other thing that is profound is there are people that aren't lost and that had a willing spirit to know and to discern the word of God what is truth and what is not. Was it the Bereans who searched the scriptures so that they can discern truth from error.  Acts 17:11 . 1 "Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than theThessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true."

Now to sort of get off topic just a tad. Did the martyrs of Jesus Christ die in vain? Did they die for something that is false or misleading?. It is said or written many people gave up their lives and were martyred for believing in Jesus Christ as has been happening in the 20th century also. Which Christ are they dying for? Is he the biblical Jewish Jesus Christ? Is he the Jewish Jesus Christ as the scriptures testify to of whom he truly was/is. Jesus Christ was born a Jew. He was not a pagan or an idol worshiper. He taught his sheep being his followers and even his Apostles/Disciples true doctrine. He taught us of the wrong way and about all the deceptions. Yet there are so many people that deny the truth and that live a lie. As written and has been said by the Messiah himself Satan is the father of lies and he was a murderer from the beginning. God gave the world his only begotten son and the Bible which is the inspired written word of God which testifies to this fact. The Bible is God-breathed and it claims its own authority. The Bible is true. Yet so many people follow another Jesus Christ and another gospel. I'm astonished that there are people that realize this and that don't want to forfeit their soul and that they don't want to live a lie and they won't bring up their children as members or accessories to false teachings which is a lie. Some people say they have been brainwashed in a cult which is true. They are religious but lost. I've heard other preachers preach that they are under a demonic hold and I know from scripture that the God of this world, the God of this age blinds them from the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ. How profound and how Rock solid the truth is. How could God have known ALL. Because God is Holy, God is the truth and his word is truth. If you read John 10 particularly 27 to 28 you will notice (Jesus)  says that he knows his sheep and nothing can pluck them out of his hand and that he gives him eternal life. You know Apostle Paul  understood that there is nothing good in his flesh. He probably struggled with these things that humans have out of their fallen nature. So we're not perfect but we must acknowledge the truth if we love the truth and we truly love the true Messiah who died on a Roman cross for the sins of the world. Some people when they've been cheated of the truth or cheated of something in life sometimes get very upset. They feel deprived and insulted when it's something materialistic. But when it's something spiritual and holy with true biblical holy truth it's incredible and astonishing there are so many people that hate that and yet they claim to be believers of Christ. Which one? They don't listen to him and he can't know them because they are not true followers. They are in essence members of a body of people that don't love the truth nor do they let the truth guide them. And having once been like them I know what it is to be deceived and live a lie. "John 12:26 is profound. "26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.". 

What is the markings of a true believer/true Christian in Christ? As Jesus Christ said himself many times his sheep hear his voice and he knows them. He is risen from the dead and he is not a baby any longer. True believers  listen to his words and his true teachings and they love the truth and they obey those teachings. They may not totally be perfect but they show an interest in that truth. They understand his character and who he truly was and not some counterfeit. They bring up their children correctly to follow the true Christ and they will proclaim the gospel. What does it profit a man or a woman to gain the whole world and forfeit their own soul? What does it profit someone to follow deception? Obviously they're not his sheep and they don't obey him. In fact they disobey him and he doesn't know them nor do they know him. In the day of the Messiah the Jewish Pharisees did not know him as they denied him and hated him. In modern times so many people deny him and really hate him but love deception. Some people they will say or quote what Christ said that there are people that can't come to him because the father hasn't drawn them to him. I think there was a spiritual meaning behind that.  6:36-46 "The discovery of their guilt, danger, and remedy, by the teaching of the Holy Spirit, makes men willing and glad to come, and to give up every thing which hinders applying to him for salvation."

Jesus Christ great commission said to preach the gospel and he said true believers would be saved. I believe there are people that were called to his ministry. Perhaps people that were predestined to that Ministry. Probably the Apostles were predestined to that Ministry. 

Christ told many parables where he made it known what the kingdom of heaven or even the kingdom of God is truly like. He said the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence. Why if heaven is perfect as it is heaven. If you read the above The Kingdom of Heaven is Gods fulfillment on earth of God's will. He is putting together a body of true believers on earth whom are saved. Now then didn't the martyrs of Jesus Christ die at the hands of evil for the faith? Of course. Did the true holy biblical Jewish Jesus Christ being the Messiah die in vain? Did he die on a Roman cross for the lies of the devil or did he not die as a lamb to the slaughter that willingly gave up his life and took it up again? No he did not die in vain so that means deceit is deceit and deception is deception. Error it's not truth. And those who don't obey him and don't know him but claim to follow him are not his sheep. So the question is who's sheep are they? They certainly aren't his sheep and they certainly don't know him. The Bible says salvation is of the Lord. What does that mean? God foretold in Scripture particularly in the book of Acts what true salvation really is. The same thing as it is written that doctrine was God-breathed. How many people don't take an interest in reading doctrine in the Bible to discern what truth really is. Yes I know that those teaching error as truth will use a tainted theology and twist the truth to further blind the already blind. The question is where does that come from? Does that truly come from a Divine and holy God who does exist or does that come from demonic sources? You either love the truth or you don't. You are either deceived or you aren't. You either hear his voice or you don't. There are people that do hear his voice and do read scripture and they have a yearning for the truth and they love the truth. True believers despise false teachings which cannot save them and they despise being lied of whom truly the person of Jesus Christ really was and is. As written narrow is the way that leads to life and just as the Lord Jesus Christ told us many follow the broad path to destruction. It's one thing to be an atheist and not believe at all which scripture says unbelief is actually a sin. But it's another thing to be totally deceived and not know truly who the Jewish biblical Jesus Christ really was and is. To live a lie is not to live the  truth. And to be deceived is a blinder. Can deception give you eternal life? Can deception save you? I think the answer is no. There will be crying and gnashing of teeth on judgement Day and the Lord Jesus Christ will tell many he never knew them and to depart from him as they were workers of iniquity. They didn't love the truth and they didn't hear his voice. They didn't even acknowledge the truth. Most likely they loved the world and all its pomp. What is astonishing is that there are people since the day of Pentecost and even before as a great prophet Isaiah wrote about Christ and they believed with ever seen him even before he ever existed on planet earth. Yes we know he existed prior to Abraham but in Isaiah's day he wasn't born yet. Isaiah believed and wrote about him. How profound! Time for you to know the God of the Bible and who the person of Jesus Christ really was and is. Time to take an interest in the truth and not a lie. You must know your Savior. He knows his sheep.

As he said "My sheep hear my voice and they obey".  There are false prophets teaching a counterfeit gospel and they claim to know him. He knows his sheep. Either you are his sheep and you may be lost. Or you were never ever his sheep and you are eternally lost. Who is your master truth or deception? 

See you have to come out of the world. The devil is very, very, deceiving. Christ said you are not worthy of him if you don't pick up your cross and follow him. He came to divide with a sword being the word of his mouth. It is said or written that he spoke everything into existence. So the word of his mouth is powerful as the word does not return void as it is written. Abraham believed and it was credited  to him as righteousness. He had a personal relationship with God. As written you have to love him more than your wife and more than your children and even more than your mother and God knows if you don't. You have to proclaim the gospel as it's the truth. Sanctified them through thy truth. The Bible does not tell us to celebrate the birthday of Christ but it does tell us to acknowledge his death, burial and resurrection. He is risen and he sits at the right hand of the father. He knows our thoughts and he is a mighty glorified King. Do you understand what that means? He is holy and he is to be praised and loved. Amen

Every hear that phrase "one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch". Something that is spoiled or rotten as a cancer spreads. Just like when you have a tree of rotten fruits and other fruits become rotten or tainted. As I heard a preacher preach a little poison added to true biblical doctrine leads people astray. That's why it is written that a little leaven leavens the whole lump. And this is what has happened and what they refer to as Christianity. Some of it is men leading others a-stray. But scripture tells us a lot of it is a deceiving spirit as we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities of hosts being evil in high places. He/the Lord either knows you or he doesn't. You either love him or you don't. You either listen or you don't. You are either rebellious are you are not. He does know his sheep and they do obey him. Rebellion is as witchcraft as it is written. He knows his sheep. 

The love of God is not the love of the world. The peace of God is not the peace of the world. Its "VERY" easy to end UP in HELL.
