The Emancipator

I HEAR THE WORD BUT STILL CAN'T BELIEVE GOD

SCRIPTUREKJV

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings

Proverbs 4:20

Apart from the challenge of the quality of what people hear from biblical teachings, the second reason someone might be going to church, hearing the Word but still cannot believe God, is the attitude with which they hear the Word. It matters how you hear or interact with the Word that is coming to you. Our verse today says, we must expectantly pay attention to the Words of Yahweh! We must recognize that this is His Word (in cases that it really is), be ready to receive or welcome it into our being, pay attention to its delivery to be able to connect the dots and absorb the life and spirit in it. Many are careless, sleepy and full of questions when they are hearing the Word. Thus, no matter how long they repeat those cycles, they cannot receive impartation for deep convictions.

Confession

From today, I am well positioned to hear the truth of God's Word that comes to me in Jesus' Name.
