He That Hath An Ear To Hear,

.

Part 2:

“World Without Ears!”

To read Part 1, go here…February 1 (“He That Hath An Ear To Hear”)

.

.

.

“(According as it is written,

.

God hath given them (Israel) the spirit of slumber,

.

eyes that they should not see,

.

and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

.

Be not highminded, but fear:

.

For if God spared not the natural branches (Israel),

.

take heed lest he also spare not thee.”

Romans 11:8, 20, 21

Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to get people to listen to your testimony about Jesus?

.

Oh yes, they may politely wait until you are finished speaking.

.

But after, with eyes glazed over, they bid you farewell, and go their way.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS ANTICHRIST!

.

What we really need to understand is this: the entire world is indwelt by the spirit of the world, the spirit of Antichrist…

.

Listen to 1st John’s assessment of the world…

“Ye are of God, little children,

and have overcome them (Antichrists):

because greater is He that is in you,

than he that is in the world.

They are of the world:

therefore speak they of the world,

and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;

he that is not of God heareth not us.

Hereby know we the spirit of truth,

and the spirit of error.”

1st John 4:4-6

.

And so, if 1st John 4:4-6 tells us that the world does not hear us…

.

They do not have spiritual ears to hear us!

THE WALKING/TALKING DEAD

.

Just imagine going into a big graveyard, and preaching the Gospel to all who are there in their graves!

.

Well, unless there happens to be a gravedigger working nearby, nobody is going to hear you!

.

They cannot hear you, because they are dead!

.

And the Ephesians 2:1, 2 reveals…

…”And you hath He (God) quickened,

who were DEAD in trespasses and sins: 

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

.

This passage says just about the same thing that 1st John 4:4-6 says.

.

But it also reveals that the world is spiritually dead!

.

Oh yes, they are physically alive.

.

But spiritually speaking, they are the walking/talking Dead!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the Good News is that God is graciously allowing the Gospel to go out into all the world.

.

And so, we must not get discouraged.

.

Here and there are those who will hear the true Gospel, and eventually respond!

So, if this is true, why even bother with today’s devotional?

LET ALL THE WORLD READ YOU!

.

The best thing that a true worshiper can do in this present-day situation, is to spend copious amounts of time each day, sitting at the feet of Jesus, hearing His Word, and learning new verses.

.

And the more that His Words of Life begin to fill the heart, the closer will the Christian, “walk, even as He (Jesus) walked” (see 1st John 2:7).

.

And the more one reflects the image of Christ, the greater will be their witness to this spiritually deaf world!

.

They may not hear your words, but they will read you like a book! This is because you will be more-and-more transformed into a walking/talking, “epistle (of Christ), known and read of all Mankind”! 2nd Corinthians 3:2

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

.

.

.

HOLY-GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon.

.

Also notice his eye is a star.

.

It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky.

.

It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west.

.

In January, it is in the west after midnight.

.

As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation.

.

It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion.

.

And as already stated, this Goodly Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west.

.

The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation.

.

The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. 

.

The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

.

.

.

.
.

THIS HOLY-GHOST-RIDER

.

Now one thing that is noticeable and makes this constellation even more dramatic, is the fact that the Milky Way runs right through it.

.

And the question that must be asked is, “What biblical implications does this constellation/Milky Way connection have?”

.

Well, very simply put, if stars represent Believers, then this rider works in the world through His True-Worshippers, to a great extent.
