Of whom we have
many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Hebrews
5: 11 KJV
You may
know what symbols mean in your dream.
You may know
what various dream elements mean.
You may even
know what the title of your dream means.
You may know
or have an idea that this dream is about you and somebody else but you
will never know what the dream accurately means until you remove all the
issues of your life that are preventing you from hearing the word of God
clearly in your life and clouding your thinking.
EDMUND DESOTO
Many
people are under the impression that they hear from God, and in fact they
do but that hearing can be impaired. Although this may be the case with
many, it is not necessarily true with the majority of believers.
Most believers
that think they truly hear from God are under this impression, because
at one point in their lives they had what I like to call a "close encounter"
with Him.
The idea of
this wonderful walk is to have a close encounter with our Maker, however
the many that do, realize that this encounter must be kept intact, unblemished,
unstained. Otherwise your hearing can and will be impaired.
many fall under
the false impression that because at one point they had a revelation, or
dream, or vision that they have found a switch in their hearing and that
it can be turned on and off. This is so far from the truth if your life
is one that is not reflecting the life of our Saviour.
Your ears do
not have and cannot have a switch that you can be turned on or off unless
you are abiding in the Vine. Remember the Gospel of John chapter 15. The
Father is the Husband man, Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches.
If we, as the
branches, do not abide in the Vine, we are cut off and thrown into the
fire. A good example of this is King Saul. Remember him?
He did not
realized that the Presence of God had been removed from Him. He was so
deaf he consulted a witch. He was deaf to the voice of god because he was
not abiding in the Vine. His hearing was turned off.
That act cost
him dearly.
Most
people do not realize that it is the issues of their lives that keep them
from hearing what God is saying to them and to the churches.
Revelation
2: 7 KJV
Once
you have an encounter, a real encounter with Yeshua (Jesus) the Son of
the Living God, you begin to understand how to hear from God based on what
you read from His WORD.
The problem is
that most people really have not had a real encounter with the Lord. They
have a vague idea but not an encounter and therefore they have created
in their own imagination a god that is really not based on who the
Word of GOD says He is.
In other words
the god they have learned to worship is not the God of the Bible.
It is their own personal god.
A god that
allows them to sin on occasions and at other times does not. This god
is
a god of convenience, one created by those ruled by a spirit
of religion.
You will find
this god alive and well and in a rampage in our churches today. So the
Scripture in Hosea comes to pass yet and again.
My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea
4:6 KJV
Through the reading
of God's Word, one learns and walks with this Jesus that has saved your
life from eternal damnation. Only by walking with Him do you get to know
Him and have an encounter with Him.
Once
you do, then you follow Him and never loose site of Him. You then learn
through the constant reading of His WORD of the issues that are preventing
you from hearing the precious voice of this God who has now revealed to
you through HiS WORD. Who is His WORD? Jesus.
Once you get to
know who He is in your life, these things that are preventing you from
hearing His Word are understood and removed completely from your life.
Then and only
then, you will be able to hear from God more clearly and more consistently.
Your
walk with Him, your talk with Him and His word in the life He has given
you becomes crystal clear.
There is no
interpretation of a dream or a vision or a Word of Knowledge with accuracy
without the Holy Spirit of the Living God putting all the ingredients together
for you.
You
may know what symbols mean in your dream.
You may
know what various dream elements mean.
You may
even know what the title of your dream means.
You may
know or have an idea that this dream is about you and somebody else but
you will never know what the dream accurately means until you remove all
the issues of your life that are preventing you from hearing the word of
God clearly in your life and clouding your thinking.
This is only done
through the reading of the WORD. The Word of Wisdom must be in full operation
in your life.
The revelation
here is to renew your mind through the reading of God's Word. That alone
will remove the cloud from your thinking and your hearing.
And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.
Romans
12:2 KJV
First You are
born again, then one RENEWS the mind. The renewing of our minds does
not take place until we read the Word of God and get it in our system.
This only happens
when Joshua 1:8 becomes a reality in our lives.
This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua
1:8 KJV
I feel that this
mandate from Joshua should be required from every single person in the
church, especially the leadership.
Yet today you
will find hundreds of thousands of people that may never pick up a Bible
in a period of a month. Surprisingly the leadership is doing the same and
if they do read they are reading the wrong translation of the Bible therefore
there is no power in their lives.
You who
are reading this article, I have a question for you?
When was the
las time that you read your Bible? In my case, there isn't an hour that
goes by where I have not gone back to my devotional of that morning. I
read my Bible constantly. Isn't that what it says in Joshua? Let's read
it again.
This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success.
Now you know why
there are so many within the Church that die early.
Why there
are so many in the Church that are overweight.
Why there
are so many in the church that are sick, in poverty, in bondage, and with
all kinds of phobias.
They are not
hearing from God, they have a boastful and proud attitude that scoffs at
God, you will see many that are disobedient to their parents and are ungrateful.
They consider nothing sacred, not even the communion they take once a month
in church.
Many are unloving
and unforgiving; they slander others and have no self-control; they are
cruel and have no interest in what is good.
They betray
their friends in their churches and talk behind their back. They are reckless
with their bodies and with others. They are puffed up with pride, they
love to eat and satisfy their pleasures rather than to serve God.
They will act
as if they are religious, cry at the altar, dance sing songs claim that
they are anointed yet they reject the power that God is showing them, that
could make them Godly.
You must stay
away from people like that.
In other words,
this is what the Apostle Paul said to Timothy. . .
This
know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall
be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those
that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than
lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.

Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
My question is
the following.
Do you know
Yeshua Ha-Messiach - Jesus Christ the Jewish Messiah?
If you do then the work that he is
doing right now on the earth would be recognized by you. This work is being
directed by the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit
comes to magnify, to glorify and to exalt the Son.
Jesus said
the Holy Spirit shall not speak of Himself.
He comes to
magnify the Lord Jesus Christ.
He comes to
glorify Jesus Christ John 16:13-14.
Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall
he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for
he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
And the Holy Spirit
is pleased when you glorify Christ in your life. How do you glorify messiah
in your life? By displaying ALL His attributes. If you are not displaying
His attributes you are NOT glorifying christ in your life. Simple? Yes.
It is the Holy
Spirit who draws you to Christ. It is the Holy Spirit who convicts you
of your need of Christ. There is only one way of salvation, and that is
Christ. And when you receive Him as LORD and Saviour you display His life
through yours. when you fail to do that, then you are allowing blockage
to stop you from hearing clearly from God.
It is a dangerous
thing to resist the Spirit.
It
is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews
10:31 KJV
“He that despised
Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much
sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden
under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant,
wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto
the Spirit of grace?”
Hebrews
10:28–29 KJV
