God's Voice – The Fool Who Would Be Holy

Why shouldn’t I be afraid I’ll hear the wrong voice?

Ian Johnson September 5, 2024 0 Comments

The author expresses confidence in being guided by Jesus, identifying as one of His sheep who recognizes His voice and follows Him. They emphasize the importance of distinguishing Jesus’ voice from false voices and assert that true followers will flee from deceit. The key to this discernment lies in the willingness to obey God’s voice.

Our Shepherd’s Voice

Ian Johnson September 1, 2024 0 Comments

This passage discusses a traditional shepherd’s gentle approach to guiding sheep, emphasizing their trust in the shepherd’s voice. Unlike methods involving fear, the shepherd calls each sheep by name, leading them willingly. The analogy highlights the importance of trust and guidance, affirming that every individual is recognized and led with care.

Isn’t a “Relationship” with Jesus what I need?

Ian Johnson August 22, 2024 0 Comments

Isn’t a “Relationship” with Jesus what I need? Yes, and no. The Bible never says that we need just some “relationship,” any “relationship” with Jesus. Instead, we are told of several specific relationships that involve people who know who they are, and who recognize the voice of Jesus and obey it.

Part 7H: Is God Speaking? Determining Who is Speaking.

Ian Johnson November 4, 2023 1 Comment

God gives us tests to use to determine whether a message we hear came from him or from somewhere else. Most of these tests apply regardless of whether the message comes from an internal voice or through the mouth or writings of another person who claims to speak for God. They start with the overarching test “do I recognize my Shepherd’s voice in what is said?”

God’s Work and Voice in Me, Part 7G: Didn’t the Apostles Say God Was About to Quit Speaking to Us?

Ian Johnson November 1, 2023 0 Comments

The blog post discusses various scriptures in an attempt to address the topic of whether God ceased to speak after the Bible was finished. The author contests teachings that this is the case, arguing that scriptures often thought to support this view require numerous assumptions. The post suggests that the divine dialogue continues, challenging readers to approach scripture with less literal interpretation and more open-minded understanding. The author plans to discuss each scripture in greater detail in subsequent posts and videos.

God’s Work and Voice in Me, Part 7D: Voices Anyone? An immodest proposal,

Ian Johnson October 17, 2023 0 Comments

As one who has long had the experience of being aware, at times, of God’s voice, I propose to the Church at large that we should 1) treat spiritual “voices,” in general, as real and not as mere symptoms of mental illness, 2) learn to distinguish God’s voice from the other voices in our world, and 3) resolve to follow God’s voice. #3 is the key, because we will not be able to discern God’s voice unless we are his sheep, who hear and follow it.

The Mind of Christ, and Rejecting It

Ian Johnson February 17, 2023 1 Comment

God speaks to us individually, and also collectively as his Body. We must hear him and walk with him individually and also depend on each other for his voice. Believers all have the mind of Christ, but none of us alone has all of the mind of Christ.

God Speaks to Us through His Spirit

Ian Johnson February 9, 2023 3 Comments

God speaks to us through his Holy Spirit, who must teach us–by building within us–everything we truly know of God. God also speaks to the world through us, by his Spirit who is building his image within us.

God Speaks to Us

Ian Johnson January 22, 2023 2 Comments

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” God says he will speak to his sheep individually, call each by name, and lead us, and he does. Stephen and Saul of Tarsus are an example of this.
