Week 135: Static



                                       Static!
  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

• Crackling sounds. . .
• Hissing noises. . .
• Buzzing vibrations. . .

                             SAY WHAT?
It’s aggravating when you are trying to hear your favorite song and there’s a lot of crackling sounds going on. You try to ignore it—but can’t. What causes this irritating buzz? It could be caused by any number of things: faulty wiring, poor receiver, bad connection, inclement weather, and the list goes on, and on.

Static not only affects your natural hearing, but your spiritual hearing too. When other people’s opinions, bright ideas, beliefs, or counsel interfere with you being able to discern God’s voice, that’s called static. Trying to make decisions while listening to all this noise is dangerous. It can throw your life completely off course. How can you sort through all this hullabaloo?
 
First, you have to know the value of hearing from God. It’s an honor to be able to go to God, and get directions. No one can take the place of God’s wisdom. Who can be a better source than Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient when making a decision? …the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. (I Corinthians 1:25)

Secondly, you have to know God’s voice. You become familiar with His voice by studying His Word, and by spending quality one-on-one time in His presence. After a while, wrong advice will begin to sound like clattering clamor. 
      The most important thing in life is to hear God and obey.
 
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27 NIV)

Finally, by faith you have to trust your spiritual ears. You might not discern  God’s voice 100% all the time, but don’t let that discourage you. This is a learning process. Profit from your error, and keep listening. Remember, you’ll never grow in this area if you’re always depending on someone else to do your hearing for you.
The person you’re depending on could have a hearing impediment.  Hmmm!

Yes, God will speak to us through people. However, we must go to God first, and let Him direct us to whom we should take guidance from. You see; you still have to hear God for yourself to even know who He wants you to go to. The only way you can believe that you are being directed by God iszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tozzzzzzzzzzzdevzzzzzzzelopzzzzzzzzzozzzzurzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz spiritzzzzzzzualzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzears.  Wezzzzzzzzzzzzzzdozzzzzzzzzzzzthatzzzzbyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz uszzzzzzzzzzingzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzthemzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
