God speaks! Are you willing to listen? Matthew 15:10-14

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

What is happening in your world? Did you take a look? Do you fake it to make it or are you the real deal?

God speaks to those who are willing to listen!

Matthew 15:10-14 "Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. "Listen and try to understand. It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you, you are defiled by the words that come our of your mouth."
(12) Then the disciples came to him and asked, "do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?" Jesus replied, "Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, so ignore them. they are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch."

Jesus was referring to the Jewish regulations about food and drink. What Jesus was saying was it is not what you eat or drink, but what you say and think that makes you unclean. This did offend the Pharisees as they were concerned about what the people ate and drank. So, what do you say and think?

In verses 13 & 14 Jesus told the disciples to leave the Pharisees alone because the Pharisees were blind to God's truth. People who listened to them would eventually be spiritually blind. Not all spiritual leaders know God's truth. Make sure the spiritual leaders you follow have good spiritual eyesight and they teach and follow the principles of Scripture.

A feel good preacher is not a good spiritual leader. A person who teaches it is all within you and you can do it; or that God wants you to prosper (insinuating if you don't prosper there is sin in your life); be good and kind to your fellow man, you need to beware. Is it scriptural?

God does not promise us a wonderful, smooth and rich life. He promises us eternal life in heaven where there is no more pain, no death, no tears, no night, just joy. Who are you following? Are you willing to listen when God speaks? Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
