Mini Podcast: Jesus says: MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

Do you hear the voice of Jesus when HE speaks to you?   Do you follow HIM?

 

Romans 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of HIS.

 

Do you have the Spirit of Christ in you ... or do you just have the teaching of men?

 

Jesus says:  John 3:3  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

 

I Corinthians 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

II Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

 

Galatians 5:19-21  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:

 

The works of the Spirit of God are exactly opposite from the works of the flesh.

 

When we are born of our parents, we are born of the flesh, by the will of men.  We do the works of the flesh of man.

 

But when we are born of the Spirit of God by the will of God, we have the Spirit of God in us and we now can do the works of God because we have the Spirit of God.

 

And we choose now to do that which the Spirit of God brings to our mind and we keep our flesh under the control of the Spirit and the flesh suffers because it can no longer do what it wants to do.

 

Now we serve God by HIS Spirit and we follow God because HIS Spirit is now in us to show us the will of God in the issues pertaining to this present life ... and we follow HIM.
