“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

No man is prepared to serve the Lord until he’s first heard the Lord. One of the marks of all true Christians is that they have heard the Lord. Notice in today’s verse, Jesus put “he who hears” in opposition to those who are false witnesses. Now, what did Jesus say in John 10? Jesus said in John 10:27, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” The Lord doesn’t know anyone unless they’ve heard His voice. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them.” You cannot be a Christian without hearing the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Have you heard His voice?
Take time to listen to the voice of the Lord today. Do this through Bible reading or listen to Him through prayer.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
