Some people know that there is a God. They just know. They are aware of a calling, a presence, a special something about God that is in them.
00:19
They want Him. They know Him. They need to be connected with Him. Are you like that?
00:25
Is there a longing in your heart? Is there a soft but regular desire to be fulfilled, to be completed in a way that only being with God can accomplish?
00:34
I know that feeling. I know it well. As a child, I always knew that God existed.
00:41
There was always a quality in my heart that desired Him, that knew He was there, that He was out there somewhere.
00:48
I can't explain it. It was something I was born with. I just needed God. I knew that I wouldn't be complete unless I was with Him and loving
00:57
Him. I'm glad I found Him. Or should I say, I'm glad He found me. Those who are looking for God, they know the echo in their hearts of God's voice calling them.
01:10
They know it. They feel it. It's there. It's soft. It is persistent. It's gentle.
01:16
It's constant. It echoes and draws us to Him, to find Him, to know Him, to touch
01:22
Him. Sometimes, we realize that everything in the world is ultimately meaningless unless we do what
01:29
He wants, unless we are in His will. We can gain money and possession, but they don't satisfy.
01:36
We know that when we die, it will all fall away and mean nothing. That is why we look up to the heavens.
01:44
That is why we hear the voice of God calling us. Do you hear it? Do you feel its presence?
01:52
Are you looking for God? Is what you have in your life fulfilling or do you feel empty?
01:58
If these words resonate with you, then you need to encounter God by encountering Jesus. He is the
02:05
Good Shepherd. He is the Shepherd of love and forgiveness. Jesus said in John 10, 27 -28,
02:12
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
02:24
Did you get what Jesus just said here? He said that His sheep hear His voice and they follow
02:30
Him. Is He calling you? Do you hear His voice in your heart? Do you want forgiveness of sins?
02:39
Jesus forgives sins. Matthew 9, verses 1 -7, Luke 5, 20 and 7, 48.
02:45
Do you want to know God? Jesus reveals God. Matthew 11, 27, Luke 10, 22.
02:51
Do you want to have joy and peace? Jesus gives them both. John 15, 11 and John 14, 27.

You won't find God in man -made religions like Islam or Mormonism, Hinduism, Buddhism. You will only find
03:07
God through the person of Jesus who said in John 14, 6, I am the way, and the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the
03:15
Father but through me. Trust Him. After all, He raised people from the dead.
03:21
He performed great miracles. He died and He rose from the dead physically. Who else has done that?
03:28
If you want to answer the call of God, if you want to know more about Him, you want to study, read the
03:35
Word, and trust in the person of Jesus Christ, He is the one who will answer the call of your heart.
