What perfectly wonderful and horrifying things might mankind do if it thinks the voice of God is directly ordering them to action?
You ever heard the story of the man visiting an area where shepherds were out with their flock?
The man was out walking, and he saw thousands of sheep walking along the hills with a single man among each group. He watched as the sheep went down to the water's edge to drink, while the shepherds gathered and talked.
When it was time to leave, the men, and there was about 10 or 15 of them. said their good byes and walked off calling to their sheep. The sheep stopped drinking and followed their shepherds.
The man was in awe of how they each went with their own group. So the man asked one of the shepherds how did the sheep know which group to follow. He said, "My sheep know the sound of my voice and they follow me." The man asked if it was possible for the sheep to follow the voice of a stranger? The shepherd said it was possible, if the sheep was sick.
I think we will know the voice of God if we hear it. Unless we are sick.
