In this Shona video teaching, Elder Jaison Ndlovu explores the importance of discerning the voice behind the words. Drawing from the biblical account of Jesus walking on water, he highlights the difference between merely hearing a voice and recognizing the one behind it. When Jesus said, "Fear not, it's me" (Matthew 14:27), Peter recognized His voice and knew who was speaking. Elder Ndlovu also references other biblical instances where discernment was crucial, such as Jesus' response to Satan's temptation, where He recognized the devil's voice despite its quoting of Scripture. Similarly, Paul and Silas rebuked a spirit-filled girl who proclaimed truth, because they discerned the demonic voice behind her words (Acts 16:16-18). This teaching encourages us to develop spiritual discernment to recognize the voices that influence our lives.
