I.                   John 10:3-4 New Translation (NLT)

           The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.

1.      Gatekeeper

A.  At night sheep were kept in an enclosure with a single opening, the gate. The shepherd slept in the doorway so that no wild beast could attack, except over his own body. Jesus as the “Gate for the sheep” interposes His own body between us and sin and Satan. He actually gave His life that we might have life. He truly is the Good Shepherd.

2.      sheep  recognize his voice

A.    John 4:24 God is a Spirit, John 6:63 the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.

B.     I believe its safe to say that God’s word brings life not death or condemnation.

C.     John 3:17 (amp)  For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.

D.    If the voice you have been hearing is rejecting, condemning or has passed sentence on you.  It is not the voice of God. Turn and go in the other direction and please do not walk, run.

E.     Proverbs 24:16  For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again:

                  3.      He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

A.    How does God call us? With a holy calling.

B.      2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling

C.      Its time to come out from among them. 

D.    Whatever is not of God its time to let it go.

E.     The work God has for you, your hands must be clean.

4.      He walks ahead of them

A.    He calls us out then goes before us to make sure we have everything we need to get the job done,

B.     Protection, financing, relationships, favor ect……

5.      They follow him, why? They know His voice.

A.    1Cr 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

B.     It’s time to follow him into new victories,

C.     I have worked with you all these years to get you into this position, for such a time as this.  Now the work of the Lord begins, said the Lord.
