Are We Spiritually Deaf?
Some people suffer from a strange hearing disorder—they can hear sounds but can’t understand words. Or they can hear, but have problems acting upon what they hear. They have no trouble hearing a bird sing or hear a wrist watch tick, but words are as unintelligible as if they were a foreign language.
The source of the problem is not in the ears. It stems from an injury to the brain. Spiritually.
There is also a spiritual deafness that affects many people. Because of a sinful heart, those without faith in Christ can read the Bible and hear the teachings of God’s Word, but its spiritual message is foolishness to them (1 Corinthians 2:14).
That explains why some people can appreciate the Bible as literature, as reliable history, and as a source of high moral standards, but rather taking it all in as there main spiritual message and instruction to life. They don’t grasp the significance of what it says about Christ—His death on the cross for our sins, His resurrection, and His ministry of intercession for us in heaven today. These truths make no sense to them, it just becomes words of a past story and thats were it stops there.
As you read the Bible, do you “hear” what it says? If not, ask the Lord to open your understanding to what it says about Jesus. Put your trust in Him as your personal Savior and experience a spiritual birth. That’s the cure for spiritual deafness.
We cannot understand God's truth Until we know the Lord; It's when our heart is home to Him when We understand His Word.
The key to understanding the written Word of God, is knowing the Living Word in the first place. And how do we live for his word? Romans 10: 17 Explains it clear in the bible. its says: "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
So lets unblock our spiritual ear wax, and start to hear God word, only then you will hear the best things you will ever hear in your lfe.
