Knowing our God and recognizing His voice is essential when we come to prayer.
John 10 reminds us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that His sheep know His voice. But how can we know the voice of our Shepherd and how can we recognize Him from the other noises and distractions from the “imposters” speaking today.
In this episode, Nathan Johnson talks about John 10 and not only how important it is to know His voice, but gives a couple of ideas on how to attune your ear to His voice.

Show Notes / Additional Resources
- John 10:b3-5 – The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
- John 10:14 – I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. (John 10:14-15 ESV)

Ideas to Help You Know God’s Voice
- Get to know God Himself … through reading and studying His Word (the Bible).
- Be still and silent before the Lord (see Psalm 46:10). Learn to listen so you can actually hear His voice.
- Walk in the light He has already given you. Live a life of obedience and response in faith.
