And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Note 4 at Joh 10:5: Once again, this statement looks contrary to experience. The Bible, as well as current observation, is full of examples where believers have heard the wrong voice and have been led into error. Either we have to say any Christian who has mistaken Satan's voice for God's leading was not a true sheep or this has to be explained as in note 3 at Joh 10:3. God speaks to our spirits, but our minds are not always listening. Likewise, Satan speaks to our minds, but our spirits are never listening. Our born-again spirits know all things (1Co 2:16, Col 3:10, and 1Jo 2:20) and cannot sin (1Jo 3:9). Our born-again spirits will never listen to the voice of a stranger. Therefore, if we would just walk in the spirit, we would not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Ga 5:16).
