ROUTINE HEARING If there was someway to express myself without using the language I have heard all my life. Somehow it becomes familiar, too familiar. I know there is nothing new; I know we cannot recreate the English language. But I sometimes get frustrated in trying to communicate to ones that are supposed to be listening and aren’t hearing. After all, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God? Oh, they are hearing the words, but they aren’t hearing the message. “That sure was a good message pastor” well, “thanks”, what was it about? Pause. Well, well, well I can’t recall all of it right now, but it sure was good. You know they have been routinely hearing the same words even though they are the right words and some for years and years and nothing has ever changed. Routine … Jesus said be careful what you hear….we can’t be careful about what we hear if we are not hearing, if we are thinking about where we are going for dinner. I know God is bigger than what I’m saying, he can move on the speaker and the hearer and God is God and he can work in spite of us. I’m not saying everybody is not listening, because some are. Some people live for God; some trust Him when things don’t look (5 senses) so good. Trusting anyway! God does have a church around the globe. I sometimes wonder who will actually go in the catching away. God is not playing a game, the devil is not playing a game, if any part of a game is being played, it’s human nature. I’m glad everybody else is so sure fire certain they are going in the catching away (and it happens conveniently before things get tough), but Paul said “lest when I’ve preached to others, I become a castaway? We can sure be churchy, we can sure have programs, but when it gets down to it, God is the program! If being led of the Spirit isn’t enough, maybe we’ll just through in a little intellect and help Him out some. If humans don’t watch it, they ignorantly start playing God, all the time meaning well and trying in their mind to do what they think the will of God is…We need to know what the will of God is…need to hear Him, need to led of His Spirit. God help me. This is much bigger than I and I cannot handle it. Jesus said without me you can do nothing. It’s true. It’s easy to live for God when it’s easy, what about when it’s hard? Nothing is too hard for God, am I plugged in? Where is the church that Jesus put forth in the Bible and the apostles carried out? Where is it? Who really is in that church? I’m glad you know you are, but I sometimes feel somewhat uncertain in a way….everybody has the answer for me. I’m glad you have it all together, because I’m still searching, asking God, wondering what He is doing and what I am doing. Things didn’t turn out just like I thought they would, so, am I going to continue living for God when I don’t know what is going on? The answer is Yes, am I going to continue when I’ve been lied about, the answer is “yes” am I going to continue when people I love tell me to take a hike, Yes, am I going to continue when I’m not understood? Yes. The Yes is Yes; Yes I am going to live for God, no matter what!!!! Knowing that God is God and He is my father and I do love and trust Him. I can do all things through Him that gives me the strength!! I am an overcomer through Him!! I am what He says I am and I can do through Him that He says I can do. Thank for reading. God Bless! I started to say if any of you feel the same to call or email me, but we don’t want to blow our cover. By the way, when all disobedience is gone and all are either on the new earth or in New Jerusalem or hell, I wonder who will be where. I’m not God, so I don’t know, but He does.
