Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Knowing His Voice (Part 3 of 3)

John 10:4 "When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice."

In the previous two blogs, we have talked about God's expectation of His followers regarding the issue of personal evangelism. Here are some ideas of how God might lead you to intersect with others who may not know what it's like to spend one day with our Savior. How can you know if God is wanting you to act on behalf of someone?

1. You have a thought pop into your head about someone and it won't leave your mind.
2. You suddenly feel like you should pray for someone in particular.
3. You believe you should do something on someone's behalf and it may or may not make sense.
4. Your heart starts pounding and your hands start sweating when you think about an action you should take on someone's behalf.

This is not an extensive list, but a couple of things are for sure. Satan will not prompt you to talk to someone about Jesus. He will not tempt you to pray for someone. And he doesn't want you thinking about the eternities of the people around you. But what he does want you to do is only think about lost people as long as you don't do anything on their behalf to get them to Jesus. Most likely, God is the One behind the scenes, and our job is to trust Him for the results of whatever it is we believe He is leading us to do.

And one last thing: If you are truly following Jesus, you will find yourself preoccupied with what He is preoccupied with, and sharing Him with people who are still doing life without Him.
