Obedience is learned thru the things suffered God’s Word tells us.
So guess what that means…
That means you heard a word and didn’t put faith in that word (simply put, you didn’t believe what you heard) so you had to bump your head.
Did you learn something?
Here is what I learned:
Amos the prophet told us (chapter 3) that Father won’t do anything without first letting his servants the prophets know.
That’s right – the word goes forth first.
At the mouth of two or three witnesses let every matter be firmly established.
So you might get warned two or three times.
Therefore if you choose not to listen, that is a demonstration of a lack of faith. Simply put, it means you did not believe.
So guess what Jesus said:
Luke 6:46 KJV
Why do you call me Lord, Lord
And you do not do what I tell you?
Psalm 107:20 KJV
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Ezekiel 3:1-7 AMP
He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find [in this book]; eat this scroll, then go, speak to the house of Israel.”So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.Then He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,not to many peoples of unintelligible speech or difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. But I have sent you to them who should listen to you and pay attention to My message;yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you and obey you, since they are not willing to listen to Me and obey Me, for the entire house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.
Father GOD says that we are not listening to (that means hearing with a heart to obey) HIM; and yet we are crying and whining over our children not listening to (hearing and obeying) us.
How about we take that beam [of rebellion] out of our own eyes first, so that we can see 👁 how to take the splinter [of disobedience] out of the eye of the next person.
You see, FAITH comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of GOD.
What are you hearing?
If you are not hearing the WORD of GOD (Remember what Jesus said at Luke 6:46), what are you hearing ?
Fear speaks just like Faith speaks. So what report are you listening to?
For those who are not listening, regardless of their age and perceived level of maturity, then these ones will learn, not by faith (which comes by hearing), but through the experience which is better known as suffering.
Obedience is learned thru the things suffered.
Experience is the best teacher.
School of hard knocks.
Are you getting it now?
Now that you can hear me, LISTEN…
King Jesus sent to us the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is available to ALL of us.
All we have to do is ask.
The Holy Spirit is our TUTOR leading us in all truth to Christ.
Do you know what a tutor is?
Do you understand the privilege it is to have a special teacher that will spend personalized time with you and is always available to you?
Do you understand how crazy it is to have a personal tutor and not use him?
With a personal tutor you should always excel in everything. That is the training that God’s word gives us.
But get this…
If you are not reading your bible and learning from your personal Tutor, then guess how you are going to learn – experience is the best teacher, you are going to suffer some stuff.
Now what are you going to do with this information?
Are you going to put it on the shelf?
Or, are you going to grab your Bible and sit with the Holy Spirit?
Are you good with the religious baby bottles passed out in portion sizes on the weekend?
Or, are you hungering for a meal from the spiritual table that our Heavenly Father sets before you in the presence of your enemies that is always available to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?
Why are you starving when you don’t have to?
Why are you not opening your Bible and reading it your self?
Why are you asking man to explain Gods Word to you when your Heavenly Father said to “ASK HIM”?
Jeremiah 33:3
Psalm 50:15
