the strange voice of comparison the strange voice of depression and anxiety and perversion they've
been speaking to you and god's saying hey my sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not adhere
they won't listen they will not submit to and god's saying i'm speaking somebody say god speaks
i want you to say it like you mean it god speaks and now make it personal god will speak to me
and so when i went on sabbatical the main thing that i write down in my journal is god i want to
hear you i want to hear you and god i will listen and when i said that um to somebody this week
talking to them through like god still speaks god told me he said michael people are deceived
hearing me hearing god's voice is normal for the believer
he said if you don't hear me who are you hearing
if you're not hearing me somebody's speaking to you
can i prove it to you because in john 10 4 and 5 he said that my sheep follow me they
know my voice and a stranger they will not follow but they will flee from him for they
know not the voice of a stranger who's ever talking to you if it ain't god who is it
and i really begin to think about that because god said i'm still speaking but culture's speaking too
finances are speaking too your favorite motivational speaker is speaking too
and you've confused their good idea with my voice
and the problem that's happening right now is because it takes a sacrifice to get into the
presence of god a sacrifice to live a life that's holy enough a sacrifice so many of
y'all would rather take a cheap counterfeit than actually have the authentic voice of god speaking
in your life i'm already doing too much right now michael wu saw but 2021 will not be the year that
you will be able to blame god for not speaking to you 2021 will not be the year that you talk
about he's just so far away from me no no no your ears are closed and you're walking around like
and god says i'm speaking but you can't hear me because you're listening to the stranger's voice
we talk about stranger things let me tell you about stranger things stranger things is hearing
from people who do not have the heaven's mind for your life stranger things is listening to a friend
group that feels like they're more successful than you so maybe i should listen to them they don't
know the purpose of god for your life they don't know the plan that god has for your marriage they
do not know what god has already ordained for you you better stop listening to the stranger's voice
i have small children right now that love answering the door
they love bing bong they ah
knock knock they love answering the door but the one thing that i've had to teach
my daughters and my son is when somebody's at the door the first thing they ask is what who is it
and the problem is so much stuff has been showing up at the door of your life and you've
stopped asking who is it you're just opening the door some of y'all took the door off the hinge
and they can come in and go as they please but today it's time oh i feel this thing
it's time to put a barrier back up and when you hear something you need to ask who is it
and the only way i know who it is is if they speak
their voice authenticates
who it is and very very easily now my daughter says who is it
and i say it's your daddy she's hey her reaction who is it it's charles oh uncle charles who is it
it's auntie bree she knows how to give access to people she's familiar with their voice
but when she says who is it and it's a stranger's voice she doesn't respond audibly she
daddy
somebody's at the door and i'm unfamiliar with their voice
daddy are you expecting somebody are you expecting this relationship
are you expecting this business deal see daddy should be talked to either way it's either him
at the door or i'm running to him because the stranger i didn't this ain't even my message
but all i'm saying to you today is that god is speaking and many of us are missing him
because we've been we've been conned by the stranger the strange voice of comparison
the strange voice of depression and anxiety and perversion they've been speaking to you
and god's saying hey my sheep know my voice and a stranger they will not adhere they
won't listen they will not submit to and god's saying i'm speaking somebody say god speaks
i want you to say it like you mean it god speaks and now make it personal god will speak to me
i'm declaring that over your life if you've never ever thought so well my my old denomination didn't
believe that welcome baby to the full gospel of jesus christ somebody needs to know that god will
speak to me at tbn our mission is to use every available means to reach as many individuals and
families as possible with the life-changing gospel of jesus christ thank you for helping
make the gospel of grace go around the world without you we couldn't do it god bless you
