“The Voice” comes and goes as it seems to somewhere out in front of me calling and encouraging me to come and see what is ahead for me. I am often fearful because of lack of knowledge of what lies ahead. But I am so thankful I recognize “The Voice”. Without it I would surely be led astray, even farther than I wander on my own. Being the dumb sheep that I am, if I fail to hear “The Voice” of the Good Shepherd I could be poisoned by my enemies, fall into a snare of a trapper or worse yet I could lead other sheep to their hurt or even destruction.
There is “The Voice” crying in the wilderness yet today. The cry is the cry of old, REPENT (have a change of mind) and be BAPTIZED (immersed into Him, His body on earth today).
May I be so bold and tell you what I’m hearing? It’s nothing new, in fact I believe it was the first thing said about Our Good Shepherd after His resurrection. Mary said it to the other disciples in John Chapter 20. Paraphrasing a bit she said, “They have taken His body and we don’t know where they have put Him”.
I believe I heard the Good Shepherd Himself make that statement to my spirit…they have taken my body and I don’t know where they have put it. They have tried to moved me from grave to grave to grave over the centuries and all I wanted was to have flesh that would be up and about the Fathers dwelling among men.
He was talking about those folks who were trying to move Him from grave to grave to grave when He said “come out from among them and be separate”.
I have repented (changed my mind) and been baptized (become an alive moving member in His Body). If have have hurt or harmed any of my readers in the past by my spiritual grave hopping, I ask your forgiveness.
If you listen closely for yourself you can hear “The Voice” calling…Follow Me…Come and See!!!
