When Will We Hear…

When Will We Hear…

Jesus Christ, the Lord of All, speaks to us throughout the day and night, but we rarely, if ever, hear. Why is this? Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to walk with us, to guide us along the path to avoid dangers maintain a clean heart and a clean life, but we rarely walk with Him. We rarely call upon the Holy Spirit guide our steps, to walk with us, why is that?

Do we live the way we do because we have no choice? Do we live the way we do because God has commanded we live in sin to the point of our lives becoming a disaster – hit rock bottom – and then know we must have God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in our lives to function properly? Can we ever, in this time, live as the Apostles? Are we, in this time, destined to live with unclean lips, unhearing ears?

And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.” Isiah 6:3-5 NKJB

We live among people, like ourselves, with unclean lips, yet we claim Christianity as our guiding Light. How can this be? Isiah saw that he was as flawed as they come, and cried out to the Lord – “Woe is me, for I am undone.” Sounds like Isiah was not living a God filled life but a life directed by laws.

We must turn back to God, confess our sins, all them. Every sin must be burned out of our soul. These sins, especially the ones we tell ourselves we will never share, must be given to God in the presence of another child of God. Until that fire burns our lips have we repented? Without the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ forgiving our sins are we capable of redemption?

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he
touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin purged.” Isiah 6:6-7 NKJB

Confession of sin is the beginning of redemption. The “coal from the altar” must burn away those sins. Teaching others about this path is the only way to we can remain healed. If a person doesn’t discuss their testimony with others, there is nothing, the story simply dies and the person along with it.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” Isiah 6:8 NKJB

Tell others what has happened, the fire burning your flesh, your sin, and removing it from your life – sharing your testimony. There is only one problem…we share our testimony with those with those who refuse to hear, refuse to see. Until the desolation is so great they will continue to walk in darkness instead of bathing in the Light of Truth. We share the Gospel with them anyway. Then we find another and share it again and again and again…

And He said, “Go, and tell this people:
‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’
Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”
Then I said, “Lord, how long?”
And He answered:
“Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant,
The houses are without a man,
The land is utterly desolate,
The Lord has removed men far away,
And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
But yet a tenth will be in it,
And will return and be for consuming,
As a terebinth tree or as an oak,
Whose stump remains when it is cut down.
So the holy seed shall be its stump.” Isiah 6:9-13 NKJB

Either the Gospel is divine inspiration, the Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
