Hearing God ~ Making Room for God's Word

John 8:31-47

Inspired thots

God is really great! A continuation of what I shared in CMTT yesterday;
~> Hearing from GOD.

1) Just like baby Jesus had no room available for Him (Luke 2:7), the people heard Him during His earthly ministry but MADE NO ROOM for His WORD (v37).
It is so common and easy to 'crowd' out God's words from our hearts, as we busy ourselves with our lives; we have missed the mark. God's word is TRUTH; and the truth sets us free (v32).

2) One cannot hear to understand if one is not understanding the language. And the language is not understood because it is of one's attitude of shutting out that which is to be received. (v43)
Selective hearing is very crucial in receiving what is heard to mould our character, thinking, and emotions.

3) v47 So simply 'He who belongs to God hears what God says'. ~ Checkpoint. It is not possible to receive God's best to be wasted on this world ~ self-indulgence.
