Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Voice of the Shepherd?

Pastor Jerry Wilhite, author

Some have trouble with the idea of actually hearing from God. Let me ask you this, "Can you find anywhere in the word where it states this is the be all and end all, that we are not to hear directly from God?"

I can not, but I can find plenty that says the opposite. Before I show you the scripture think of this - isn't it arrogant to believe we can talk to God but He, the creator of all, can not talk to us?

Where did you get the idea we could not hear from Him? As I stated it is not in scripture.

John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

For those of you for whom even Jesus' own words are not enough as above in John here are some more:

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Before you say it is reading the word it clearly states hearing, and before you say it is referring to hearing someone read it, it states clearly by the word of God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

If that is not clear enough what about when Jesus said we are to be taught all things, not just that of God but all things by the Spirit of God?

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The word Christos is Greek for anoint and also means Christ.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

So by that of Christ (anointing) we are taught not by man.

Jesus told us that He was anointed with the Spirit of God, and since He is the Christ the anointing or Christ is the Spirit of God in, on and through us.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Any of you who think the Spirit is dead or ended in the first century church you are then saying God ended or is dead.

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

For those who believe that faith ended in the first century church or are against sites and ministries of faith, then you are also against salvation, because it is by faith we are saved.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

If we are not to hear from God then why would John write 3 verses about testing the spirits to be sure it is God and not Satan that we are hearing?

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

If you believe Jesus is God then God is the same as and not less than Jesus right?

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Baptism, yes there is only one true baptism that of the Holy Ghost. Do not take my word on it; take the word of John the Baptist and Jesus on it.

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

If the one true baptism was water, not the Holy Ghost, then Jesus would never have stated:

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

I know it confuses many because they read later about water baptism but that is of the flesh not the spirit and it is our way of showing our faith.

Galatians 6:7 clearly states.. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for

whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

There are three separate elements at work in us, that of the flesh, the soul, and the Spirit. If we bow to the flesh then we are of the flesh, but if we are subject to and bow to the Spirit then the Spirit blesses us.

Do you know what these statements mean without looking it up in the Bible?

  1. I am of the world!
  2. I am in the world!

If you stated number 1 then you need to understand to say that you are of the world is stating you are of the world and its system that is ruled by Satan. So you are stating you are of Satan.

If you said number 2 then you are on the right track. You are in the world because this is where we are physically now, but not of the world.

You see there are so many misunderstood and even incorrectly taught beliefs of the Bible.

What is the Bible then?

First of all yes it is the breathed word of God, but that does not mean it is the be all and end all of God. When we try to force the Bible to be the end all we are divided and then we are doomed.

Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

Satan knows this as well and uses it to his benefit not ours.

We can not be divided and will not be if we all hear from God because we will not all walk away with different interpretations as we do with His word. We will all have the same understanding of His word as He explains it to us.


I mean really think about how arrogant we are to think we can talk to Him, pray to Him and even expect Him to answer our prayers but He can not talk to us.

What better way for Him to help us until we do hear from Him is there than by giving us a manual to guide us through our infancy as children of God. Then the day comes when we must grow up.

Answer me this, can you say you know without any doubt at all you are saved, that no one can ever say anything to get you to even consider you are not? If you say yes then you must have heard as it is stated in Romans 8:16 from God that you are His child. Once we hear this no one can ever steal our salvation.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

So why are there so many different beliefs and wrong teachings then?


It is like two people reading the same book and then they finish and talk about it but both come away with a totally different understanding or interpretation of the book. That is at least until they meet the writer and learn what he/she meant. Then they both have the same understanding.

The same is for us with the word of God. It is given to help and protect us while we are growing until the day comes we hear that still quiet voice and it grows louder and louder and we learn the truth. Not of man but of God and God only. You can not say you or anyone else is 100% right because you do not know what is 100% right but God does.

Even Paul warns about our thoughts:

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

You see you do not have an original thought. Every thought you have had or will have in the future has already been thought and will be thought by others. We are so arrogant to believe that if we have a thought then it was ours and we then act on it. That is when we get into trouble, but if we realize that our thoughts only come from one of two places, God or Satan, then we can beware and protect against those of Satan.

You see Satan forces his thoughts on us. God does not because He is a gentleman at the door waiting. We have to invite Him in and seek His thoughts, but if we do not believe we can hear from Him we never will seek His thoughts and continue to act on Satan's thoughts.


Think about the evil, hate, and violence in the world. Think how much may be prevented if the truth were known and whom do you think this serves the best?

What would it serve me, the staff of this ministry, or even this ministry to teach people how to hear from God and then not listen to us but Him only? It only serves them and God of course.

Anyone can hear if they have the desire, ask God for His help, and will dedicate at least 30 minutes a day to listening for how ever long it takes to hear from Him.

Do you really think mankind is better or higher than Jesus was?

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

John 8:47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
