Why won't God hear me?

“The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.”
Proverbs 21:3 NLT
http://bible.com/116/pro.21.3.nlt 

Doing what is right. I'm sorry to say, but we cannot do what is right as humans. We try, get enticed, and go back again to our sin. But, we don't have to try anymore. The Holy Spirit helps us to do what is right. But it is you who decides whether or not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you've been complaining about God not hearing you, how he doesn't listen. Well, there is no direct way to talk too God, and if there was one, it'd be very complicated. Let me explain about this hearing thing in this story: 
There is a man and his wife living in the same house. The wife is a bit deaf. The husband has tried many times to try and get her to hear properly, but can't. He then goes to the doctor. The doctor says, stand 30-40 inches away from her and call her name. The man did so, and called her, 'Mary!'. No reply. This time he moved a bit closer, and shouted her name again. 'Mary!'. Nothing. This time the man walked up to her side and said, 'Mary,'.


Sometimes we are like the woman in that story. A bit deaf, so we can't hear the voice of God properly. We need to focus, concentrate and listen for His voice. God can speak to you through prayer, dreams, other people and lots more. Try listening for his voice, today.

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
