Matthew 13:10 His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?” 11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. 12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. 13 That is why I use these parables,For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.
I don't know about you... but I think I tend to think that whatever gifts I have spiritually... everyone has... I do that in the natural realm too.. if I can do something.. then you should be able to also... but as I am maturing (lololol...) I realize this really isn't true... and I guess it is kind of sad...
I was given this scripture on Saturday morning.. and God shows me that while I can discern things from the scripture... not everyone can... I found that truly amazing.. and very sad for those who don't have it... I can read the scripture but hear God speaking to me individually through it... but I am guessing that not everyone can do that... so they look but not really see and they hear but don't really listen...
I wonder if it goes back to the hardened heart... I wonder if we can't hear in the spirit realm because we are too caught up in the natural realm... the bible tells us that as Christians this world is not our home and we really are not to be comfortable in it... so if we are so comfortable that we no longer can hear the voice of God... maybe we need to re-think our relationship with God... maybe we need to ask for the ability to hear the voice of God.. I cannot imagine not hearing from the Spirit of the Lord... I hope you cannot either...
