Hearing By The Word!

Romans 10 verse 17 is a popular verse for most Christians, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."   I love this scripture and I know most pastors love it. I hear them quote it all the time. They always teach us to pay attention to the Word of God, so we can have and grow our faith; which by the way is very important because without faith, we cannot please God...Heb 11:6.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  As you study or your listen to the Word of God, you are receiving and increasing your faith; God also gives you the capacity to Hear by the Word. You can take this physically or spiritually. A deaf ear can/is unstopped by the Word of God. You may be going through a situation that you absolutely have no clue on what to do, and all of a sudden; you find your spirit giving you answers on how to tackle the problem as you are meditating on the Scriptures.  That's why it's important when you study the Word of God, don't do it in silence! Open your mouth and declare the Word. Your Spirit man, that is the real you, needs to HEAR THE WORD. THERE'S POWER IN CONFESSING GOD'S WORD. Your Spirit man must be fed to be strong, so you can reign in life over sickness, disease, infirmities  poverty  failure  devil etc. That spirit man only feeds on the Word because it is born of the Word. As we take care of our physical body, we also need to take care of our inner/spirit man.

Our Lord Jesus said in Mathew 13: 13-16, ^"Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.   And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive;  For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear."

15 Just like one can be physically deaf, one can also be spiritually deaf and spiritual deafness can only be healed by the Word of God. To be spiritually deaf is worst than physical deafness...it is the reason why some people never understand the Scriptures, they make a mockery of God's Word, they don't see the power of God's Word, the importance of the Holy Spirit, the miraculous etc. To them Christianity becomes a mere religion, void of power. If you find yourself in this situation, you need to make a change fast. Start paying attention to the Word, ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, ears and to give you understanding of the Scriptures so you can have fellowship with the Him and live the life of the miraculous that you and I were created for.

The Word of God is wonderful and you can never go wrong with it. The Word of God is alive, when we hear God's Word, it produces faith, sharpens our senses, minds, spirits, it sanitizes our spiritual ears to hear more from God. We are able to catch signals from the spiritual realm. We start seeing things differently, viewing life from the mountain top and the issues of life become bread for us.  The Word of God is Christ given us in a message and is energized by the Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the Power of God that saves us completely in all things..Romans 1:16.
