“My sheep hear My voice, and they follow Me. Because they know My voice, they will not be lead astray by a stranger. The only way to recognize My voice on a continuing basis is to know My voice, requiring a receptive open heart willing to receive from Me.
To know someone and recognize their voice, you must spend time with them and become familiar with how they speak. When you study My word and seek to have and be in unity with My thoughts and mind, you will know if it is from Me.
Through My Spirit, I speak directly to your heart (our spirit). When the scriptures say; ‘let him that has ears, hear what the spirit says’, it refers to My Spirit speaking to your spirit. The brain is a physical, temporal part of man, but the mind is our eternal processor.
A prophetic metaphor:
“Like computers, our mind receives information as a computer processer, from different sources as its programs, memory, and internet service. Our mind takes information and processes it for our understanding. The source from which information is received, and the processing, determines how you think. Because of sin, your mind is in a corrupted state. In this corrupted state you are unable to hear from Me.
The source of information is corrupted, and your processing is corrupted. But like computers, you need a ‘web master’, like the Holy Spirit, to remove and clean up the corrupting viruses, and clean up the memory and corrupted processer.
But the computer will again become corrupted if the source of the virus is not prevented from interring. Likewise the enemy is always attempting to plant sin viruses, which will disable your spiritual sensitivity, to prevent, or through sin block you from hearing My voice. Like the internet; through Me all information, knowledge, wisdom, inspiration, elimination and ‘I AM’ all and everything you need.
If you remain plugged into Me, you will lack nothing. As a web master, I have rebuilt you to be incorruptible, and given you the ability to block out the sin virus. I have given you a direct access link to Me, through the Holy Spirit, who will set up a hedge (firewall) for you protection. I have given you the power, ability and authority (memory, ram and I AM the operator) to do great and mighty exploits. Remain attached to Me (the vine), with I in you, as your source, and you in Me.

(John 10:2-5, 16) “But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.”
