Seeing Through Hearing
By Mark Flippo
John 8:47 ESV
Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
This scripture is very clear that if you do not hear His voice/impression you are not of God! I think that I have learned a long time ago is I tend to point an ear towards someone that is speaking so that I get a clearer understanding of what they are expressing. Now when I turn my ear that way it means my eyes also have turned to a different direction than they would normally see.
Changing my point of view/sight. Have you ever noticed that when you do that you see at times something unexpected. You get a better view of the whole room. You can see who is listening and who is not. It lets you know that if they are not listening to someone speaking then when you speak they may not listen to you.
Why is that important?
Those kind of people are prone to miss what God is trying to explain to all. If you want to share your hearts message maybe you should be very careful who you say things in front of. The Bible says to not cast pearls before swine.
Which means what God gives you are pearls of Wisdom. Those that do not listen, God considers them to be like swine who will eat anything that comes their direction. They will be polluted. Save the pearls of great price for those that God directs for you to speak them to.
