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.

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...
