Core Truth: From our Lord’s own testimony itself, He and the Father have not left us to our own devices – about anything in our lives! And if He made it His life’s goal to get the mind of His Father on all the things that He said or did, how much more should we seek to do the same today. But for many that also raises such questions as: “Does God really speak to His children personally these days and if so, How does it do it? What does His voice sound like? And how can I be sure it is He who is speaking to me and not someone or something else?
Scripture: John 5:30; 20:21
I am able to do nothing from Myself [on my own initiative or authority], but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me…and as the Father has sent Me, so I am now sending you.
