HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR

Good morning everyone. It is another beautiful day the Lord has made and we are blessed to rejoice and be glad in it. Amen. Something came together for me during yesterday's Romans Study. i love searching out God's word and hearing Him as i walk with Him. i looked up the word Hear in my Strong's Concordance and it said "see obedience." Think of the implications... When we substitute the word hear with obedience, many scriptures take on new meaning, the meaning God intended. This is so exciting!! Obedience is commanded over and over in the Bible, and obedience cannot be rendered to two masters....Matthew 6:24

"Faith comes by hearing(obedience) and hearing(obedience) by the word of God."
Romans 10:17

DISOBEDIENCE = made man a sinner. neglecting to hear.

OBEDIENCE = makes man righteous. to hear.

With this in mind, remember that Jesus taught in parables and there are so many occasions where He ended with "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." He is telling us to be obedient to His teaching, to His word, to Him. Amen.

In Matthew 11:12-17 He warns us to hear, to be obedient, and He likens those who are not obedient to the people adhering to religious rituals not bearing fruit, instead of His word.

In Matthew 13:3-9 He tells the parable of the sower and in verse 9 tells us to be obedient, to hear.

In Mark 4:21-23 He tells us not to hide our light and in verse 23 tells us to be obedient, to hear.

In Luke 14:34-35 He tells us Salt(a symbol of a covenant) is good, but losing its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned, and in verse 35 tels us to be obedient, to hear.

In Revelation chapters 2-3 He says to hear, to be obedient, after talking to each of the seven churches. This is Jesus talking!! Amen. Search it out yourselves. Reading and understanding Gods word is exciting and imperative to a fruitful walk with God. There is no free pass to eternal life. ALL HAVE SINNED. The Good news is JESUS, if we hear and obey...

God bless you all....
