WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
Galatians 3:2 (KJV)
Your perspective on life is a result of the knowledge you carry. Your knowledge is a result of what you hear.
You cannot be better than the things you hear.
Your thought patterns and life are a reflection of the information you keep absorbing.
Paul the apostle, writing to the brethren in Galatia, asked rhetorically, If they received the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?
He asked a similar question in his epistle to the Romans,
“But how can people call on him for help if they’ve not yet believed? And how can they believe in one they’ve not yet heard of? And how can they hear the message of life if there is no one there to proclaim it?” Romans 10:14 (TPT)
You cannot believe it until you hear. What you hear influences how you live.
If you hear words of faith, you live consistently by faith.
When you hear words of doubt and fear, you will constantly live in doubt and fear. You will not be able to take steps or make bold decisions. You will always be afraid.
But the knowledge you receive will influence your confidence.
When Daniel received understanding through the reading of the scriptures, it influenced his prayers. (Read on the Liberating Power of Reading).
We hear by what we read or watch and what we listen to. And what you hear determines your level of knowledge.
God doesn’t just want you to be saved; he wants you to grow in knowledge (1 Timothy 2:4).
You can only have the right knowledge when you give your mind to the right truth.
Be intentional about what you hear.
In my book Photizo (A Compendium of Eternal Verities) Alpha Edition, I explained the need to go for accurate knowledge.
You must become a student of the word, be like the Bereans, who didn’t just give their minds to anything at all they heard. They committed themselves to studying. They decided to be sure that whatever they heard was consistent with the scriptures.
As a new creation in Christ, give your mind to the revelation of Jesus. Anything you hear must be consistent with the testimony of Jesus.
The revelation of Jesus will shift and shape your mindsets.
You will live victoriously when you keep hearing the glorious things Christ has victoriously accomplished for you through His death and resurrection.
Paul was able to see faith in a man in Lystra who had never walked from birth.
Where did the faith come from? By hearing the preaching of Paul.
The man’s heart was so much flooded with the word of faith that when Paul asked him to stand on his feet, in the name of Jesus, he instantly jumped to his feet for the first time and walked (Acts 14:8-10).
What a transformation!
You are reading this now, and may be thinking your life has come to an end, and nothing good will come out of your situation.
Precious one, your thoughts are a result of what you are hearing. Stop hearing your pain, stop hearing your challenges, stop hearing the doubts, stop hearing the projections of fear and guilt from the adversary.
Turn away from the negative words and projections of the devil. Set your eyes on the might and awesomeness of the Lord.
Give your ears and heart to the transformational word of faith. Hear what the Lord is saying through His word. The word of the Lord is the glorious gospel. The gospel means goodnews.
This goodnews of Jesus will set the direction of your life towards the experience and enjoyment of grace, glory and manifold blessings.
Beloved, choose to hear right!!!
Selah.
