The message emphasizes the necessity of hearing God's word first, comparing it to a newborn baby's innate need for milk. The speaker warns that many Christians are spiritually premature because they have not properly repented of sin, noting that a true sign of being born again is a deep longing for God's word. To distinguish God's voice from the devil's, one must recognize that the enemy often minimizes sin, whereas God's word clearly defines sin's seriousness.
