The loudest voice isn’t always the truest. We dive into what it really means to know the shepherd’s voice in a world saturated with takes, trends, and almost-right messages that trade conviction for comfort. Drawing from John 10 and the imagery of the sheepfold, we unpack how recognition flows from relationship: time in Scripture, prayer that lingers until peace returns, and obedience that turns hearing into following.
We trace how deception works—not by wearing horns, but by sounding easy. From Eden’s “Did God really say?” to modern pulpits that sell blessing without surrender, counterfeits twist truth just enough to dull our guard. We get practical about testing voices: Does it align with Scripture? Does it produce conviction instead of flattery? Does it pull me toward humility, repentance, and holiness? We talk about the danger of distraction, the mercy of shaking that reveals what stands, and why comfort is not the same as peace. Through stories of sheep that know their shepherd, churches finding courage through repentance, and believers rediscovering God’s tone, we map a path back to clarity.
The heart of our message is simple and urgent: nearness over noise. Study the authentic until falsehood feels foreign. Shut the gates propped open by convenience. Return to the last command you ignored and obey it. The shepherd’s voice hasn’t changed—firm yet gentle, never contradicting Scripture, always leading toward light. If you’re tired of confusion and hungry for steady ground, this conversation will help you tune your ear, test what you hear, and walk with confidence even as the world shakes.

SPEAKER_00 (00:27):
The world is overflowing with voices.
Everyone has a platform, achannel, a message.
And in all that noise, truth anddeception have started to sound
dangerously similar.
We scroll past prophecy andparody, sermons, and
self-promotion, worship andwitchcraft, all in the same
(00:49):
feed.
Yet in the middle of all thatchaos, there's still one voice
that cuts through everyfrequency.
The voice of the shepherd.
Jesus said, My sheep listen tomy voice.
That means not everyone will.
Not everyone can.
Recognition requiresrelationship.
And the more time you spend withthe shepherd, the more clearly
(01:11):
you'll know when he speaks, whenhe speaks, and when he doesn't.
In the end times, thatdifference may decide whether
you stand or fall, becausedeception in this hour isn't
always ugly.
It's convincing, it'sattractive, and it's almost
right.
But almost right is still wrong.
(01:31):
And in these last days, almostcan lead straight to darkness.
So today, we're going to talkabout hearing God in a world
full of noise.
We'll expose the imitationvoices that lead astray, we'll
learn how to test what we hear,and we'll rediscover the peace
that only comes from walkingclose enough to recognize his
(01:51):
call.
Let's go, boys.
Hey, welcome to RenewedMindsets.
I'm Rick, and I'm so glad you'rehere.
When Jesus described himself asthe shepherd, he wasn't given a
(02:12):
metaphor for comfort.
He was declaring ownership andauthority.
A shepherd doesn't just feed hissheep.
He directs them, he protectsthem, and he corrects them when
they wander.
There's a story I think about alot.
A traveler once visited a MiddleEastern village where two
shepherds brought their flocksto the same watering hole.
(02:35):
The sheep all mixed togetheruntil you couldn't tell which
belonged to whom.
Then one shepherd simply turned.
He gave a short call, startedwalking, and instantly his own
sheep separated from the restand followed him.
The others stayed.
The traveler was stunned.
The shepherd smiled and said,They know my voice.
(02:58):
That's what Jesus was describingin John 10.
True believers are not confusedwhen he speaks.
They may struggle, they mayquestion, but deep in their
spirit there's a resonance thatsays, That's my shepherd.
The enemy can shout, the culturecan entice, but the sheep know
the sound of truth.
(03:19):
How do you know that voice?
Through intimacy, not religion,not ritual, but relationship.
You spend time in the word untilhis tone becomes familiar.
You pray until his peace feelsrecognizable.
You obey until his correctionfeels like love instead of
(03:40):
punishment.
Every genuine encounter with Godshapes your ear to hear him more
clearly.
When you obey the small nudges,the conviction to apologize, the
prompting to pray for someone,the warning not to go there, you
train your heart to discern hiswhispers.
Psalm 32.8, it says, The Lordsays, I will guide you along the
(04:04):
best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch overyou.
That's the shepherd's promise.
He doesn't scream directionsfrom a distance.
He walks ahead of you, speakingguidance as you go.
But let's be honest, manybelievers have lost the art of
listening.
(04:24):
We pray, but we don't pause.
We study, but we don't stay longenough for revelation.
We fill our schedules andsilence our souls, and then we
wonder why we can't hear him.
The shepherd's voice can bedrowned out by busyness just as
easily by sin.
Sometimes the greatest tactic ofthe enemy isn't to tempt you
(04:47):
with evil, it's just to keep youtoo distracted to hear.
Think about Elijah in 1 Kings19.
He fled to a cave after Jezebelthreatened his life.
There was a wind, an earthquake,a fire, but God wasn't in any of
them.
Then came a gentle whisper.
(05:08):
That's where Elijah heard him.
In this loud generation, God isstill whispering.
Not because he's weak, butbecause he wants intimacy.
You have to draw close to hear awhisper.
So if you find yourself unsureof what God's saying, get
(05:28):
closer.
Shut off the noise.
Step away from the opinions, theendless feeds, the fear-filled
headlines.
Open your Bible.
Pray peace until peace returns.
Because the shepherd neverstopped speaking.
His sheep simply stoppedlistening.
(05:49):
Let me tell you somethingpersonal.
Years ago, I faced one of thehardest seasons of my life.
I begged God for an answer.
And for weeks, nothing.
Silence.
Until one morning, while I wasreading John 10, my eyes landed
on a verse.
And I'd read it a thousand timesbefore.
(06:13):
It said he calls his own sheepby name and leads them out.
It was like electricity in mychest.
God wasn't being silent.
He was waiting until I got quietenough to realize that he'd been
calling me by name all along.
If you want to know his voice,you got to make room for it.
(06:37):
That's where we start.
Because before you can discernthe counterfeit, you must know
the genuine.
Now Satan rarely shows upwearing horns.
He comes dressed in influence,charisma, convenience.
His voice doesn't sound evil, itsounds easy.
(07:00):
He whispers, God wants you to behappy.
While Jesus says, Be holy, for Iam holy.
Satan says, follow your heart.
While scripture warns us theheart is deceitful above all
things.
He offers shortcuts where Godoffers sanctification.
(07:20):
That's why the devil is calledthe deceiver, not the destroyer.
He doesn't need to destroy youif he can convince you to follow
a voice that sounds almostright.
Think about the Garden of Eden.
The serpent didn't hand Eve aweapon, he handed her a
conversation.
His question really wasn't evenfully wrong.
(07:43):
Did God really say?
He used God's own words,slightly twisted, slightly
softened, until doubt enteredthe heart.
Now that's still his methodtoday.
The deceiver takes God's truth,removes the cost, and sells it
as freedom.
(08:03):
He says grace covers everything,but he never mentions
repentance.
He says God loves you just asyou are, but he never adds, and
he loves you too much to leaveyou that way.
This is the whisper that'sreshaping the modern church.
The imitation of the shepherd'stone, smooth speech with no
(08:27):
authority, emotion with noconviction, worship with no
surrender.
I once knew a young man who toldme he'd stopped attending church
because he found an onlinepastor who told him everything
was fine, that sin was outdated,that the Bible was cultural, not
eternal.
He said it made him feel free.
(08:49):
I asked him later if he feltpeace.
He said no, but he feltcomfortable.
Comfort is not the same aspeace.
Peace comes when you're rightwith God.
Comfort comes when you stopcaring whether you are.
(09:25):
The gospel divides truth fromerror.
It separates light fromdarkness.
In the end times, in the timeswe're living in, the imitator's
voice is going to grow louderthrough every system.
Through media, politics,religion, technology.
(09:45):
Revelation 13 tells us that thebeast will one day speak great
blasphemies and deceive manythrough signs and wonders.
But before that day comes, thegroundwork is being laid, one
small compromise at a time.
A generation that no longerreads Scripture is a generation
easily deceived by Scripturewhen it's taken out of context.
(10:10):
We're watching the rise of falseshepherds.
Voices that say, God told me totell you to give, but never God
told me to repent.
They promise prosperity, butnever purity.
They prophesy blessings, butthey ignore obedience.
That's not the shepherd's voice.
(10:32):
In Acts chapter 20, verses 29and 30, Paul warned the church,
I know that false teachers likevicious wolves will come in
after you after I leave, notsparing the flock.
He didn't say if, he said will.
Wolves will always come for theflock, and they always use
(10:52):
familiar language.
In this digital age, the wolveshave microphones.
They have followers, they havebrand deals.
They speak smooth words aboutdestiny and purpose, but never
mention crucifying the flesh.
And yet, here's the truth.
The closer we get to the end,the more obvious the imitation
(11:13):
will become to those who trulyknow his voice.
A counterfeit can only fool youif you stopped handling the real
thing.
When federal agents train tospot fake currency, they don't
study the counterfeits.
They study the authentic billsuntil they know every detail by
heart.
(11:33):
Then any fake that they seefeels and looks wrong
immediately.
That's how we need to treat theword of God.
We need to study it untilfalsehood feels foreign.
We need to pray until compromisesounds off key.
Worship until the world's songslose their appeal.
(11:54):
You can't recognize the imitatorunless you're walking with the
originator.
And make no mistake, theimitator's whisper is growing
louder because the shepherd'sreturn is drawing near.
Revelation 12, 12 says the devilhas come down to you in great
anger, knowing that he haslittle time.
(12:14):
He's running out of time.
And when you're out of time, youshout.
That's why the noise of thisgeneration feels unbearable.
Everybody's shouting, nobody'slistening.
But the true sheep are learningto lower the volume of the world
so they can hear the still smallvoice of the king.
You can't stop the imitator fromspeaking, but you can stop
(12:37):
listening.
And when you stop listening, youstarve deception of its power.
John 10 gives us one of the mostcomforting images in all of
Scripture.
The shepherd standing at theentrance of the sheepfold.
The sheepfold was a simplewalled enclosure where the flock
rested safely at night.
(12:58):
There was only one way in andone way out.
The shepherd himself would layacross that opening as the door,
meaning nothing entered the foldunless it passed through him.
Jesus said, I am the door.
Those who come in through mewill be saved.
That's not poetry, that'sprotection.
(13:20):
But now look around.
The modern sheepfold, the churchis surrounded by noise and
distraction and infiltration.
The walls are still standing,but many of the gates have been
left open.
Voices are climbing over,slipping through live streams,
podcasts, pulpits, screens.
(13:42):
The enemy no longer needs todrag people out of the fold.
He just needs to get theirattention while they're still
sitting inside it.
I once visited a ranch in Texaswhere the shepherd had installed
an automatic gate to save time.
It was efficient.
But one morning, coyotes slippedin through the gate after the
system malfunctioned.
(14:02):
Now the shepherd told mesomething I'll never forget.
He said technology made the gatesmarter, but the sheep weaker.
That is a word for thisgeneration.
We have become so connected thatwe're disconnected from
discernment.
We've traded vigilance forconvenience.
(14:24):
We listen to a thousand sermons,but we rarely sit with the
shepherd himself.
The sheepfold is supposed to bea place of peace, not
performance.
But a lot of churches haveturned the pasture into a stage.
Lights, music, influence,applause, but little conviction,
(14:45):
little repentance.
The sheep are entertained, butthey're not equipped.
And when chaos comes, the sheepscatter because they were never
anchored to the voice.
They were anchored to the vibe.
Jesus warned in Matthew 24 thatin the last days many will turn
(15:07):
away from me and betray eachother and hate each other.
Many false prophets will appearand deceive many people.
Sin will be rampant everywhere,and the love of many will grow
cold.
We're living in that prophecyright now.
Churches are splitting.
Believers are fighting overpolitics.
(15:30):
And many are more loyal to amovement than to a Messiah.
But in that same passage, Jesusgave hope.
Endurance comes from stayingclose to the shepherd, not from
staying popular with the crowd.
Let me tell you another story.
(15:51):
Years ago, a family in theMiddle East lost their flock
during a night raid.
The thieves mixed their stolensheep with another herd miles
and miles away.
And when the shepherd finallytracked them down, the soldiers
guarding the pen laughed andsaid, You won't ever know which
ones were yours.
The shepherd stepped forward andhe called softly.
(16:14):
And within seconds, his sheeplifted their heads and ran to
him.
That is what the shepherd isdoing right now.
He's calling in the middle ofglobal confusion in political
division and spiritualdeception.
The true sheep are starting tolift their heads again.
(16:34):
They're remembering the tone ofhis voice.
They're leaving the false foldsof celebrity faith and
entertainment Christianity andcultural compromise.
They're running back to thenarrow gate.
The chaos in the sheepfold isn'tproof that God has lost control.
It's proof that he's separatingwhat's true from what's not.
(16:57):
Hebrews 12 27 says this meansthat all of creation will be
shaken and removed so that onlyunshakable things will remain.
The shaking is mercy.
It reveals which voices werebuilt on sand and which were
built on the rock.
If your faith depends oneverything going right, you're
(17:19):
going to crumble when everythinggoes wrong.
But if your faith depends onknowing the shepherd's voice,
you'll stand when the worldtrembles.
The sheepfold is being purified.
The pretenders are leaving.
The faithful are learning toworship without music, to pray
without prompting, to listenwithout the noise.
(17:41):
And while the world mocks thechurch for its weakness, the
shepherd is walking theperimeter.
It's restoring order.
It's gathering his remnant.
Because soon the door willclose, not out of cruelty, but
out of completion.
When the last sheep is entered,when the last soul has
(18:03):
responded, the shepherd willrise and judgment will begin.
Until that day, we need to staynear the gate.
Don't wander into the fields ofcompromise.
Don't follow voices that promisegreener pastures outside his
walls.
The wolves always make the grasslook lush right before they
attack.
(18:25):
Jesus said in John 10 9, thosewho come in through me will come
and go freely and will find goodpastures.
The good pasture isn't outthere.
It's right where the shepherdis.
The sheepfold may look small.
It may look unpopular, but it'ssafe.
(18:46):
And in these last days, safetyisn't found in numbers.
It's found in nearness.
Now there's a simple butsobering test that separates
those who merely hear the voicefrom those who truly know.
Jesus said, My sheep listen tomy voice.
I know them, and they follow me.
(19:08):
That last phrase, and theyfollow me, that's the test.
Hearing means nothing if itdoesn't lead to obedience.
You can recognize the shepherd'stone all day long, but until you
walk where he leads, you're justanother spectator in the fold.
Obedience is it's the proof ofrecognition.
(19:31):
I once heard about a ministry ina war-torn country who worked
secretly with undergroundbelievers.
Now they would meet in barns,sometimes under the threat of
death.
And each time the leader wouldsend a single phrase over a
crackling radio signal.
It wasn't the same phrase twice,but everyone who belonged knew
(19:52):
the rhythm of the words.
And they would whisper back, Wehear you and we're coming.
That's the relationship that Godwants.
Instant recognition, instantresponse, no hesitation.
In the end times, obedience willbe it'll be the final line of
(20:12):
separation.
Many are going to claim to knowJesus.
But when his command contradictscomfort, they're going to walk
away.
Matthew 7 21 says, Not everyonewho calls out to me, Lord, Lord,
will enter the kingdom ofheaven.
Only those who actually do thewill of my Father in heaven will
(20:33):
enter.
That's not a warning to atheistpeople.
That's a warning to churchgoers.
The test of recognition beginsin the small things.
When the Spirit says forgive andyou want revenge, whose voice
wins?
When he says turn it off and youwant one more look, whose voice
(20:55):
wins?
When he says speak truth and youfear rejection, whose voice
(21:18):
wins?
Every decision reveals whichshepherd you're following.
A woman once told me that shestopped feeling God's presence.
She said prayer felt empty.
And I asked her, What's the lastthing he told you to do?
And she said, Forgive my sister.
Then she paused and whispered, Inever did.
(21:43):
At that time she f what she feltwasn't abandonment.
That feeling, it wasdisobedience.
The shepherd doesn't changedirection to accommodate a
stubborn sheep.
He stays right where theobedience left off.
John 14, 23 says, All who loveme will do what I say.
(22:05):
My father will love them, and wewill come and make our home with
each of them.
Obedience opens the door for hispresence.
Rebellion closes it.
Right now, the world is full ofcounterfeit shepherds shouting
for attention, political voicespromising peace without
repentance, influencerspreaching purpose without
(22:27):
purity, religious systemsoffering belonging without
surrender.
And the flock is confusedbecause they've forgotten the
shepherd's voice nevercontradicts his word.
If the voice you're hearingmakes sin feel safe, that's not
Jesus.
If it excuses compromise in thename of grace, that's not Jesus.
(22:51):
If it draws attention to maninstead of the glory of God,
that's not Jesus.
His voice always leads downwardbefore it lifts you upward.
It calls you to humility beforehonor, to surrender before
success.
That's why so many miss it.
(23:12):
It's not glamorous, it's holy.
The test of recognition willalso expose leaders.
In these end times, pulpits aremicrophones of influence.
And God is weighing every goodword that goes forth and every
bad one.
James 3:1 warns, Dear brothersand sisters, not many of you
(23:34):
should become teachers, for whowe teach will be judged more
strictly.
Many voices that built empiresin his name will find their
works burned because theshepherd never told them to
speak.
Discernment begins when you stopasking, does it sound good?
and start asking, does it soundlike him?
(23:56):
The shepherd's voice carries theweight of eternity.
It doesn't flatter, ittransforms.
It doesn't echo culture, itconfronts it.
Let me give you a picture.
A pastor once stood before hiscongregation and confessed that
for years he preached whatpeople wanted to hear, not what
(24:17):
they needed.
He said, I gave them milk whenGod said, Give them meat.
He repented publicly.
Tears streamed down his face.
That church doubled inrepentance before it ever grew
in size.
Why?
Because the sheep finally heardthe shepherd through a man who
was willing to humble himself.
(24:40):
God is doing that across theworld right now.
He's purifying his pulpits.
He's raising voices that tremblebefore him more than the trend
before man.
He's awakening his flock todiscern the difference.
The test of recognition is notfound in how much scripture you
(25:01):
can quote, but in how much youlive it.
It's not proven in how loud youworship, but in how quickly you
obey.
And when that trumpet sounds,and let me tell you, it is about
to sound, the only ones who willrise will be the ones who
recognized and followed theshepherd's voice when the world
(25:23):
told them not to.
Right now the earth is vibratingwith confusion.
Nations are roaring.
The church is dividing.
Truth is being rewritten, andtechnology has become a pulpit
for both God and the devil.
Every day the noise growslouder, but the shepherd's voice
(25:44):
has not changed.
He's still calling, he's stillwarning, he's still guiding
those who will listen.
John 10 4 says, After he hasgathered his own flock, he walks
ahead of them, and they followhim because they know his voice.
That is the pattern.
He walks ahead.
He doesn't push, he leads.
(26:06):
And that's how you know it'shim, because his presence goes
before his people.
But in these last days, thecounterfeit shepherds are also
gathering their flocks.
They're calling in the name oftolerance and progress and
pride.
They promise enlightenment, butdeliver emptiness.
(26:27):
They call rebellion freedom.
They call sin identity.
And the sheep who have stoppedlistening are being led to
slaughter without realizing it.
That's why this message mattersright now.
This isn't about theology.
It's about survival, spiritualsurvival.
The enemy doesn't care how muchyou say Jesus, if you no longer
(26:51):
recognize him when he speaks, hedoesn't fear your worship songs.
He fears your obedience.
He doesn't tremble when youattend church.
He trembles when you startdiscerning truth from deception.
So the question right now is notwhether God is speaking.
(27:12):
The question is whether you'vetuned your ear to listen.
When you spend time in his word,you begin to notice how
consistent his voice is.
It's gentle, but it's firm.
It never contradicts scripture.
It always produces conviction,never condemnation.
It pulls you towards the light.
(27:34):
But when you follow the voicesof this world, confusion grows.
You begin to doubt.
You begin to drift.
And before long your heart growscold, just like Jesus warned in
Matthew 24.
It's happening now.
Hearts are cold, ears are dull,minds are numb.
But God still whispers to thosewho seek him.
(27:57):
There's a story about a shepherdin Scotland who found one of his
lambs trapped on a cliff.
It had wandered chasing a patchof grass and fallen into a ledge
just above the rocks below.
The shepherd could see it, buthe couldn't reach it.
So he waited three days.
When the lamb finally grew tooweak to resist, he climbed down
(28:18):
with the rope and rescued it.
Later somebody asked why hewaited.
The shepherd said because aslong as it had strength, it kept
running from me.
I had to wait until it couldn'trun any longer.
Maybe that's what God's doing inyour life.
You've been running.
You've been trying to fix it,explain it, control it.
(28:41):
And you wonder why he's beensilent.
Maybe he's waiting on you tostop running.
Because only then can he rescueyou.
If only you would listen to hisvoice today.
(29:03):
That's the invitation.
Listen today.
Not tomorrow.
Not after you figure it all out,but now.
Because every delay gives theimitator more time to whisper.
If you've been distant, you canreturn right now.
The shepherd never stoppedcalling your name.
(29:24):
The same voice that calledLazarus out of the tomb is
calling you out of compromise,out of confusion, out of sin.
He's not calling you toperfection.
He's calling you to proximity.
When you hear his voice,everything else loses its power.
(29:45):
The anxiety that used to controlyou starts to fade.
The lies that once to find youstart to break.
Because the shepherd doesn'tjust guide, he restores.
It's really weird because I'mrecording this tonight at the
church, the studio's upstairs,and we have a celebrate recovery
(30:09):
class that goes on on Tuesdaynights.
We had a church member teachtonight, who I've never seen get
up in front of anybody andhardly talk to, much less teach
in front of a group of people.
It's a testament to God.
It's a testament to a young manwho has spent the last few years
(30:32):
in the word and praying andlistening for his voice.
And when God said teach, he justdid it.
And it was awesome.
JJ, we love you and you didgreat.
Psalm 23 says, He restores mysoul.
Restoration begins whenrecognition returns.
(30:55):
And right now, the world isbeing tuned to the wrong
frequency.
The spirit of Antichrist isspeaking through the systems of
this world, but there's still aremnant, a people who will not
bow to false voices, who willnot follow trends, who will not
mistake popularity foranointing.
You can be part of that remnant.
(31:17):
But you must decide whose voiceyou'll follow.
Jesus said the gatekeeper opensthe gate for him, and the sheep
recognize his voice and come tohim.
He calls his own sheep by nameand leads them out.
That means if you're truly his,you'll not be lost in the noise
forever.
(31:37):
You may wander, but his voicewill find you.
Tonight, today, whenever you'relistening, the shepherd is
calling his people back.
Back to prayer, back to purity,back to power, back to hearing.
This is the hour when silence isnot golden.
(32:01):
It's dangerous.
You cannot afford to livewithout direction when deception
is multiplying.
Let this be your moment to say,Lord, tune my ears again.
Strip away every counterfeit.
Speak until I recognize youagain.
If you want to hear him, openhis word.
(32:22):
It's simple.
If you want to feel him, obeywhat you already know.
If you want to follow him, letgo of every voice that keeps you
stuck in fear or compromise.
You don't need a prophet to tellyou what God's saying.
You need a posture that'swilling to listen.
Because when the shepherdspeaks, mountains move, chains
(32:44):
break, fears flee.
And the sheep rise and follow.
There's a shaking coming, andonly those who know his voice
will stand.
The world will call it chaos,but the flock will know that
it's the sound of gathering.
It's not time for confusionright now.
(33:05):
It's time for clarity.
It's not time to run in fear.
It's time to walk in faith.
It's not time to blend in.
It's time to stand out.
The shepherd is calling.
Can you hear him?
He's calling the wanderer home.
(33:25):
He's calling the lukewarm torepentance.
He's calling the faithful toendurance.
He's calling the church toawaken.
And soon he'll call the bride torise.
Pray with me.
Father God, we ask you tosilence every false voice that's
tried to steal our peace.
(33:46):
We ask for fresh ears to hearyou again, Lord.
Forgive us for following thenoise of this world.
Forgive us for chasing comfortwhen you called us to
conviction.
Tune our hearts to yourfrequency.
Let your word become the soundthat leads us.
Father God, in these end times,let us be counted among those
who still recognize your voice.
(34:07):
We're listening, Lord.
Lead us and we'll follow.
In Jesus' precious name I pray.
Amen.

The world is overflowing with voices.
Everyone has a platform, achannel, a message.
And in all that noise, truth anddeception have started to sound
dangerously similar.
We scroll past prophecy andparody, sermons, and
self-promotion, worship andwitchcraft, all in the same
(00:49):
feed.
Yet in the middle of all thatchaos, there's still one voice
that cuts through everyfrequency.
The voice of the shepherd.
Jesus said, My sheep listen tomy voice.
That means not everyone will.
Not everyone can.
Recognition requiresrelationship.
And the more time you spend withthe shepherd, the more clearly
(01:11):
you'll know when he speaks, whenhe speaks, and when he doesn't.
In the end times, thatdifference may decide whether
you stand or fall, becausedeception in this hour isn't
always ugly.
It's convincing, it'sattractive, and it's almost
right.
But almost right is still wrong.
(01:31):
And in these last days, almostcan lead straight to darkness.
So today, we're going to talkabout hearing God in a world
full of noise.
We'll expose the imitationvoices that lead astray, we'll
learn how to test what we hear,and we'll rediscover the peace
that only comes from walkingclose enough to recognize his
(01:51):
call.
Let's go, boys.
Hey, welcome to RenewedMindsets.
I'm Rick, and I'm so glad you'rehere.
When Jesus described himself asthe shepherd, he wasn't given a
(02:12):
metaphor for comfort.
He was declaring ownership andauthority.
A shepherd doesn't just feed hissheep.
He directs them, he protectsthem, and he corrects them when
they wander.
There's a story I think about alot.
A traveler once visited a MiddleEastern village where two
shepherds brought their flocksto the same watering hole.
(02:35):
The sheep all mixed togetheruntil you couldn't tell which
belonged to whom.
Then one shepherd simply turned.
He gave a short call, startedwalking, and instantly his own
sheep separated from the restand followed him.
The others stayed.
The traveler was stunned.
The shepherd smiled and said,They know my voice.
(02:58):
That's what Jesus was describingin John 10.
True believers are not confusedwhen he speaks.
They may struggle, they mayquestion, but deep in their
spirit there's a resonance thatsays, That's my shepherd.
The enemy can shout, the culturecan entice, but the sheep know
the sound of truth.
(03:19):
How do you know that voice?
Through intimacy, not religion,not ritual, but relationship.
You spend time in the word untilhis tone becomes familiar.
You pray until his peace feelsrecognizable.
You obey until his correctionfeels like love instead of
(03:40):
punishment.
Every genuine encounter with Godshapes your ear to hear him more
clearly.
When you obey the small nudges,the conviction to apologize, the
prompting to pray for someone,the warning not to go there, you
train your heart to discern hiswhispers.
Psalm 32.8, it says, The Lordsays, I will guide you along the
(04:04):
best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch overyou.
That's the shepherd's promise.
He doesn't scream directionsfrom a distance.
He walks ahead of you, speakingguidance as you go.
But let's be honest, manybelievers have lost the art of
listening.
(04:24):
We pray, but we don't pause.
We study, but we don't stay longenough for revelation.
We fill our schedules andsilence our souls, and then we
wonder why we can't hear him.
The shepherd's voice can bedrowned out by busyness just as
easily by sin.
Sometimes the greatest tactic ofthe enemy isn't to tempt you
(04:47):
with evil, it's just to keep youtoo distracted to hear.
Think about Elijah in 1 Kings19.
He fled to a cave after Jezebelthreatened his life.
There was a wind, an earthquake,a fire, but God wasn't in any of
them.
Then came a gentle whisper.
(05:08):
That's where Elijah heard him.
In this loud generation, God isstill whispering.
Not because he's weak, butbecause he wants intimacy.
You have to draw close to hear awhisper.
So if you find yourself unsureof what God's saying, get
(05:28):
closer.
Shut off the noise.
Step away from the opinions, theendless feeds, the fear-filled
headlines.
Open your Bible.
Pray peace until peace returns.
Because the shepherd neverstopped speaking.
His sheep simply stoppedlistening.
(05:49):
Let me tell you somethingpersonal.
Years ago, I faced one of thehardest seasons of my life.
I begged God for an answer.
And for weeks, nothing.
Silence.
Until one morning, while I wasreading John 10, my eyes landed
on a verse.
And I'd read it a thousand timesbefore.
(06:13):
It said he calls his own sheepby name and leads them out.
It was like electricity in mychest.
God wasn't being silent.
He was waiting until I got quietenough to realize that he'd been
calling me by name all along.
If you want to know his voice,you got to make room for it.
(06:37):
That's where we start.
Because before you can discernthe counterfeit, you must know
the genuine.
Now Satan rarely shows upwearing horns.
He comes dressed in influence,charisma, convenience.
His voice doesn't sound evil, itsounds easy.
(07:00):
He whispers, God wants you to behappy.
While Jesus says, Be holy, for Iam holy.
Satan says, follow your heart.
While scripture warns us theheart is deceitful above all
things.
He offers shortcuts where Godoffers sanctification.
(07:20):
That's why the devil is calledthe deceiver, not the destroyer.
He doesn't need to destroy youif he can convince you to follow
a voice that sounds almostright.
Think about the Garden of Eden.
The serpent didn't hand Eve aweapon, he handed her a
conversation.
His question really wasn't evenfully wrong.
(07:43):
Did God really say?
He used God's own words,slightly twisted, slightly
softened, until doubt enteredthe heart.
Now that's still his methodtoday.
The deceiver takes God's truth,removes the cost, and sells it
as freedom.
(08:03):
He says grace covers everything,but he never mentions
repentance.
He says God loves you just asyou are, but he never adds, and
he loves you too much to leaveyou that way.
This is the whisper that'sreshaping the modern church.
The imitation of the shepherd'stone, smooth speech with no
(08:27):
authority, emotion with noconviction, worship with no
surrender.
I once knew a young man who toldme he'd stopped attending church
because he found an onlinepastor who told him everything
was fine, that sin was outdated,that the Bible was cultural, not
eternal.
He said it made him feel free.
(08:49):
I asked him later if he feltpeace.
He said no, but he feltcomfortable.
Comfort is not the same aspeace.
Peace comes when you're rightwith God.
Comfort comes when you stopcaring whether you are.
(09:25):
The gospel divides truth fromerror.
It separates light fromdarkness.
In the end times, in the timeswe're living in, the imitator's
voice is going to grow louderthrough every system.
Through media, politics,religion, technology.
(09:45):
Revelation 13 tells us that thebeast will one day speak great
blasphemies and deceive manythrough signs and wonders.
But before that day comes, thegroundwork is being laid, one
small compromise at a time.
A generation that no longerreads Scripture is a generation
easily deceived by Scripturewhen it's taken out of context.
(10:10):
We're watching the rise of falseshepherds.
Voices that say, God told me totell you to give, but never God
told me to repent.
They promise prosperity, butnever purity.
They prophesy blessings, butthey ignore obedience.
That's not the shepherd's voice.
(10:32):
In Acts chapter 20, verses 29and 30, Paul warned the church,
I know that false teachers likevicious wolves will come in
after you after I leave, notsparing the flock.
He didn't say if, he said will.
Wolves will always come for theflock, and they always use
(10:52):
familiar language.
In this digital age, the wolveshave microphones.
They have followers, they havebrand deals.
They speak smooth words aboutdestiny and purpose, but never
mention crucifying the flesh.
And yet, here's the truth.
The closer we get to the end,the more obvious the imitation
(11:13):
will become to those who trulyknow his voice.
A counterfeit can only fool youif you stopped handling the real
thing.
When federal agents train tospot fake currency, they don't
study the counterfeits.
They study the authentic billsuntil they know every detail by
heart.
(11:33):
Then any fake that they seefeels and looks wrong
immediately.
That's how we need to treat theword of God.
We need to study it untilfalsehood feels foreign.
We need to pray until compromisesounds off key.
Worship until the world's songslose their appeal.
(11:54):
You can't recognize the imitatorunless you're walking with the
originator.
And make no mistake, theimitator's whisper is growing
louder because the shepherd'sreturn is drawing near.
Revelation 12, 12 says the devilhas come down to you in great
anger, knowing that he haslittle time.
(12:14):
He's running out of time.
And when you're out of time, youshout.
That's why the noise of thisgeneration feels unbearable.
Everybody's shouting, nobody'slistening.
But the true sheep are learningto lower the volume of the world
so they can hear the still smallvoice of the king.
You can't stop the imitator fromspeaking, but you can stop
(12:37):
listening.
And when you stop listening, youstarve deception of its power.
John 10 gives us one of the mostcomforting images in all of
Scripture.
The shepherd standing at theentrance of the sheepfold.
The sheepfold was a simplewalled enclosure where the flock
rested safely at night.
(12:58):
There was only one way in andone way out.
The shepherd himself would layacross that opening as the door,
meaning nothing entered the foldunless it passed through him.
Jesus said, I am the door.
Those who come in through mewill be saved.
That's not poetry, that'sprotection.
(13:20):
But now look around.
The modern sheepfold, the churchis surrounded by noise and
distraction and infiltration.
The walls are still standing,but many of the gates have been
left open.
Voices are climbing over,slipping through live streams,
podcasts, pulpits, screens.
(13:42):
The enemy no longer needs todrag people out of the fold.
He just needs to get theirattention while they're still
sitting inside it.
I once visited a ranch in Texaswhere the shepherd had installed
an automatic gate to save time.
It was efficient.
But one morning, coyotes slippedin through the gate after the
system malfunctioned.
(14:02):
Now the shepherd told mesomething I'll never forget.
He said technology made the gatesmarter, but the sheep weaker.
That is a word for thisgeneration.
We have become so connected thatwe're disconnected from
discernment.
We've traded vigilance forconvenience.
(14:24):
We listen to a thousand sermons,but we rarely sit with the
shepherd himself.
The sheepfold is supposed to bea place of peace, not
performance.
But a lot of churches haveturned the pasture into a stage.
Lights, music, influence,applause, but little conviction,
(14:45):
little repentance.
The sheep are entertained, butthey're not equipped.
And when chaos comes, the sheepscatter because they were never
anchored to the voice.
They were anchored to the vibe.
Jesus warned in Matthew 24 thatin the last days many will turn
(15:07):
away from me and betray eachother and hate each other.
Many false prophets will appearand deceive many people.
Sin will be rampant everywhere,and the love of many will grow
cold.
We're living in that prophecyright now.
Churches are splitting.
Believers are fighting overpolitics.
(15:30):
And many are more loyal to amovement than to a Messiah.
But in that same passage, Jesusgave hope.
Endurance comes from stayingclose to the shepherd, not from
staying popular with the crowd.
Let me tell you another story.
(15:51):
Years ago, a family in theMiddle East lost their flock
during a night raid.
The thieves mixed their stolensheep with another herd miles
and miles away.
And when the shepherd finallytracked them down, the soldiers
guarding the pen laughed andsaid, You won't ever know which
ones were yours.
The shepherd stepped forward andhe called softly.
(16:14):
And within seconds, his sheeplifted their heads and ran to
him.
That is what the shepherd isdoing right now.
He's calling in the middle ofglobal confusion in political
division and spiritualdeception.
The true sheep are starting tolift their heads again.
(16:34):
They're remembering the tone ofhis voice.
They're leaving the false foldsof celebrity faith and
entertainment Christianity andcultural compromise.
They're running back to thenarrow gate.
The chaos in the sheepfold isn'tproof that God has lost control.
It's proof that he's separatingwhat's true from what's not.
(16:57):
Hebrews 12 27 says this meansthat all of creation will be
shaken and removed so that onlyunshakable things will remain.
The shaking is mercy.
It reveals which voices werebuilt on sand and which were
built on the rock.
If your faith depends oneverything going right, you're
(17:19):
going to crumble when everythinggoes wrong.
But if your faith depends onknowing the shepherd's voice,
you'll stand when the worldtrembles.
The sheepfold is being purified.
The pretenders are leaving.
The faithful are learning toworship without music, to pray
without prompting, to listenwithout the noise.
(17:41):
And while the world mocks thechurch for its weakness, the
shepherd is walking theperimeter.
It's restoring order.
It's gathering his remnant.
Because soon the door willclose, not out of cruelty, but
out of completion.
When the last sheep is entered,when the last soul has
(18:03):
responded, the shepherd willrise and judgment will begin.
Until that day, we need to staynear the gate.
Don't wander into the fields ofcompromise.
Don't follow voices that promisegreener pastures outside his
walls.
The wolves always make the grasslook lush right before they
attack.
(18:25):
Jesus said in John 10 9, thosewho come in through me will come
and go freely and will find goodpastures.
The good pasture isn't outthere.
It's right where the shepherdis.
The sheepfold may look small.
It may look unpopular, but it'ssafe.
(18:46):
And in these last days, safetyisn't found in numbers.
It's found in nearness.
Now there's a simple butsobering test that separates
those who merely hear the voicefrom those who truly know.
Jesus said, My sheep listen tomy voice.
I know them, and they follow me.
(19:08):
That last phrase, and theyfollow me, that's the test.
Hearing means nothing if itdoesn't lead to obedience.
You can recognize the shepherd'stone all day long, but until you
walk where he leads, you're justanother spectator in the fold.
Obedience is it's the proof ofrecognition.
(19:31):
I once heard about a ministry ina war-torn country who worked
secretly with undergroundbelievers.
Now they would meet in barns,sometimes under the threat of
death.
And each time the leader wouldsend a single phrase over a
crackling radio signal.
It wasn't the same phrase twice,but everyone who belonged knew
(19:52):
the rhythm of the words.
And they would whisper back, Wehear you and we're coming.
That's the relationship that Godwants.
Instant recognition, instantresponse, no hesitation.
In the end times, obedience willbe it'll be the final line of
(20:12):
separation.
Many are going to claim to knowJesus.
But when his command contradictscomfort, they're going to walk
away.
Matthew 7 21 says, Not everyonewho calls out to me, Lord, Lord,
will enter the kingdom ofheaven.
Only those who actually do thewill of my Father in heaven will
(20:33):
enter.
That's not a warning to atheistpeople.
That's a warning to churchgoers.
The test of recognition beginsin the small things.
When the Spirit says forgive andyou want revenge, whose voice
wins?
When he says turn it off and youwant one more look, whose voice
(20:55):
wins?
When he says speak truth and youfear rejection, whose voice
(21:18):
wins?
Every decision reveals whichshepherd you're following.
A woman once told me that shestopped feeling God's presence.
She said prayer felt empty.
And I asked her, What's the lastthing he told you to do?
And she said, Forgive my sister.
Then she paused and whispered, Inever did.
(21:43):
At that time she f what she feltwasn't abandonment.
That feeling, it wasdisobedience.
The shepherd doesn't changedirection to accommodate a
stubborn sheep.
He stays right where theobedience left off.
John 14, 23 says, All who loveme will do what I say.
(22:05):
My father will love them, and wewill come and make our home with
each of them.
Obedience opens the door for hispresence.
Rebellion closes it.
Right now, the world is full ofcounterfeit shepherds shouting
for attention, political voicespromising peace without
repentance, influencerspreaching purpose without
(22:27):
purity, religious systemsoffering belonging without
surrender.
And the flock is confusedbecause they've forgotten the
shepherd's voice nevercontradicts his word.
If the voice you're hearingmakes sin feel safe, that's not
Jesus.
If it excuses compromise in thename of grace, that's not Jesus.
(22:51):
If it draws attention to maninstead of the glory of God,
that's not Jesus.
His voice always leads downwardbefore it lifts you upward.
It calls you to humility beforehonor, to surrender before
success.
That's why so many miss it.
(23:12):
It's not glamorous, it's holy.
The test of recognition willalso expose leaders.
In these end times, pulpits aremicrophones of influence.
And God is weighing every goodword that goes forth and every
bad one.
James 3:1 warns, Dear brothersand sisters, not many of you
(23:34):
should become teachers, for whowe teach will be judged more
strictly.
Many voices that built empiresin his name will find their
works burned because theshepherd never told them to
speak.
Discernment begins when you stopasking, does it sound good?
and start asking, does it soundlike him?
(23:56):
The shepherd's voice carries theweight of eternity.
It doesn't flatter, ittransforms.
It doesn't echo culture, itconfronts it.
Let me give you a picture.
A pastor once stood before hiscongregation and confessed that
for years he preached whatpeople wanted to hear, not what
(24:17):
they needed.
He said, I gave them milk whenGod said, Give them meat.
He repented publicly.
Tears streamed down his face.
That church doubled inrepentance before it ever grew
in size.
Why?
Because the sheep finally heardthe shepherd through a man who
was willing to humble himself.
(24:40):
God is doing that across theworld right now.
He's purifying his pulpits.
He's raising voices that tremblebefore him more than the trend
before man.
He's awakening his flock todiscern the difference.
The test of recognition is notfound in how much scripture you
(25:01):
can quote, but in how much youlive it.
It's not proven in how loud youworship, but in how quickly you
obey.
And when that trumpet sounds,and let me tell you, it is about
to sound, the only ones who willrise will be the ones who
recognized and followed theshepherd's voice when the world
(25:23):
told them not to.
Right now the earth is vibratingwith confusion.
Nations are roaring.
The church is dividing.
Truth is being rewritten, andtechnology has become a pulpit
for both God and the devil.
Every day the noise growslouder, but the shepherd's voice
(25:44):
has not changed.
He's still calling, he's stillwarning, he's still guiding
those who will listen.
John 10 4 says, After he hasgathered his own flock, he walks
ahead of them, and they followhim because they know his voice.
That is the pattern.
He walks ahead.
He doesn't push, he leads.
(26:06):
And that's how you know it'shim, because his presence goes
before his people.
But in these last days, thecounterfeit shepherds are also
gathering their flocks.
They're calling in the name oftolerance and progress and
pride.
They promise enlightenment, butdeliver emptiness.
(26:27):
They call rebellion freedom.
They call sin identity.
And the sheep who have stoppedlistening are being led to
slaughter without realizing it.
That's why this message mattersright now.
This isn't about theology.
It's about survival, spiritualsurvival.
The enemy doesn't care how muchyou say Jesus, if you no longer
(26:51):
recognize him when he speaks, hedoesn't fear your worship songs.
He fears your obedience.
He doesn't tremble when youattend church.
He trembles when you startdiscerning truth from deception.
So the question right now is notwhether God is speaking.
(27:12):
The question is whether you'vetuned your ear to listen.
When you spend time in his word,you begin to notice how
consistent his voice is.
It's gentle, but it's firm.
It never contradicts scripture.
It always produces conviction,never condemnation.
It pulls you towards the light.
(27:34):
But when you follow the voicesof this world, confusion grows.
You begin to doubt.
You begin to drift.
And before long your heart growscold, just like Jesus warned in
Matthew 24.
It's happening now.
Hearts are cold, ears are dull,minds are numb.
But God still whispers to thosewho seek him.
(27:57):
There's a story about a shepherdin Scotland who found one of his
lambs trapped on a cliff.
It had wandered chasing a patchof grass and fallen into a ledge
just above the rocks below.
The shepherd could see it, buthe couldn't reach it.
So he waited three days.
When the lamb finally grew tooweak to resist, he climbed down
(28:18):
with the rope and rescued it.
Later somebody asked why hewaited.
The shepherd said because aslong as it had strength, it kept
running from me.
I had to wait until it couldn'trun any longer.
Maybe that's what God's doing inyour life.
You've been running.
You've been trying to fix it,explain it, control it.
(28:41):
And you wonder why he's beensilent.
Maybe he's waiting on you tostop running.
Because only then can he rescueyou.
If only you would listen to hisvoice today.
(29:03):
That's the invitation.
Listen today.
Not tomorrow.
Not after you figure it all out,but now.
Because every delay gives theimitator more time to whisper.
If you've been distant, you canreturn right now.
The shepherd never stoppedcalling your name.
(29:24):
The same voice that calledLazarus out of the tomb is
calling you out of compromise,out of confusion, out of sin.
He's not calling you toperfection.
He's calling you to proximity.
When you hear his voice,everything else loses its power.
(29:45):
The anxiety that used to controlyou starts to fade.
The lies that once to find youstart to break.
Because the shepherd doesn'tjust guide, he restores.
It's really weird because I'mrecording this tonight at the
church, the studio's upstairs,and we have a celebrate recovery
(30:09):
class that goes on on Tuesdaynights.
We had a church member teachtonight, who I've never seen get
up in front of anybody andhardly talk to, much less teach
in front of a group of people.
It's a testament to God.
It's a testament to a young manwho has spent the last few years
(30:32):
in the word and praying andlistening for his voice.
And when God said teach, he justdid it.
And it was awesome.
JJ, we love you and you didgreat.
Psalm 23 says, He restores mysoul.
Restoration begins whenrecognition returns.
(30:55):
And right now, the world isbeing tuned to the wrong
frequency.
The spirit of Antichrist isspeaking through the systems of
this world, but there's still aremnant, a people who will not
bow to false voices, who willnot follow trends, who will not
mistake popularity foranointing.
You can be part of that remnant.
(31:17):
But you must decide whose voiceyou'll follow.
Jesus said the gatekeeper opensthe gate for him, and the sheep
recognize his voice and come tohim.
He calls his own sheep by nameand leads them out.
That means if you're truly his,you'll not be lost in the noise
forever.
(31:37):
You may wander, but his voicewill find you.
Tonight, today, whenever you'relistening, the shepherd is
calling his people back.
Back to prayer, back to purity,back to power, back to hearing.
This is the hour when silence isnot golden.
(32:01):
It's dangerous.
You cannot afford to livewithout direction when deception
is multiplying.
Let this be your moment to say,Lord, tune my ears again.
Strip away every counterfeit.
Speak until I recognize youagain.
If you want to hear him, openhis word.
(32:22):
It's simple.
If you want to feel him, obeywhat you already know.
If you want to follow him, letgo of every voice that keeps you
stuck in fear or compromise.
You don't need a prophet to tellyou what God's saying.
You need a posture that'swilling to listen.
Because when the shepherdspeaks, mountains move, chains
(32:44):
break, fears flee.
And the sheep rise and follow.
There's a shaking coming, andonly those who know his voice
will stand.
The world will call it chaos,but the flock will know that
it's the sound of gathering.
It's not time for confusionright now.
(33:05):
It's time for clarity.
It's not time to run in fear.
It's time to walk in faith.
It's not time to blend in.
It's time to stand out.
The shepherd is calling.
Can you hear him?
He's calling the wanderer home.
(33:25):
He's calling the lukewarm torepentance.
He's calling the faithful toendurance.
He's calling the church toawaken.
And soon he'll call the bride torise.
Pray with me.
Father God, we ask you tosilence every false voice that's
tried to steal our peace.
(33:46):
We ask for fresh ears to hearyou again, Lord.
Forgive us for following thenoise of this world.
