Are You Growing Dull of Hearing

Sometimes I can hear God very easily and then there are times that I can't and this used to bother me until the Lord revealed why this was happening. We must be doers of the word. Doing the word is the key to hearing the word. To get more understanding (of the word) you must do what you already know to receive more (understanding) of what God has. Revelation comes from doing. The more you do, the more you know.

God spoke this to my heart at a time that I wasn't hearing Him very well, so I will share it the way He said it. " The reason you lose interest in My word( I found that since I wasn't hearing God, I lost interest in the word) is because you won't do it. I'll only allow you to hear it for a season, but if you don't do what you hear, you are only being entertained by My word. It brings joy to your soul as you read it and consider it, because faith rises within you. But at this point you must go and do that which is bringing joy to you. If you choose not to do it, I will allow your heart to grow dull towards Me and your ears I will stop from you hearing the truth that comes forth from My words and they will only be words on a piece of paper once again. You must do My word to continue hearing my word that I speak to you and reveal to you. I have designed it to work just this way."

I've come to understand that this is God's way of insuring His fellowship with His children. He knows that the only way we will grow in our understanding is by hearing Him and the only way this is going to happen is if we spend time with Him. He reveals His word, then we go put it into action. The more I do, the more I hear. The more I hear, the more I want. The more I want, the more time I need to spend with my Father and Jesus. And it's then that the Holy Spirit begins to teach me more and so it goes on and on. This is my most favorite place to be. With my ears wide open and God's voice coming in loud and clear.

So now when it begins to grow quite the first thing I do is ask myself, "are you doing what God has shown me to do and just how much time have I been spending at the feet of Jesus?" When I honestly answer these questions, then I realize why it has grown quite. But the good news is, I know how to turn up the volume and hear from heaven once again.

If it's quite at your place then do what God has shared with you today and turn up the volume.
