Proverbs 28: 9 and 21:13
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law (GOD'S WORD), even his prayer shall be an abomination.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
RED ALERTS 7 AND 8
RED ALERT 7 - REJECTING OF GOD'S WORD
There are many folk who reject or ignore some parts of Scripture, because it doesn't sound pleasing to the ear. They will pick and choose what Scriptures they will agree with and ignore the rest. They do this to their peril. All of Scripture is given by the inspiration of GOD and is profitable. It holds the key to living in right relationship with GOD by building up and by correcting behavior. It is the love of GOD that motivates Him to correct us, so that we will learn what is right and righteous in His sight.
The result of turning our ear from hearing the WORD OF GOD, is that even our prayers are an abomination to Him. The WORD OF GOD is also the will of GOD toward us, so if we ignore His WORD, we ignore His will.
One more thing about ignoring the WORD OF GOD; JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD, so to ignore the WORD is to ignore JESUS. That is terribly serious.
RED ALERT 8 - TO NEGLECT MERCY
Mercy and Love are compassion in action.
Matthew 25: 31-46 are the words of JESUS about mercy. When we show mercy to another we are really showing compassion to JESUS Himself. The words: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." are the words of JESUS about the relationship between acts of mercy and GOD. GOD hears the merciful when they cry for help. Notice the principle of reciprocity: we are forgiven by GOD, when we forgive; we are heard by GOD, when we hear the cry of the poor; we receive from GOD, when we give.
The blessings of the LORD pour out upon those who pour out blessings to others. This is also the meaning of sowing and reaping. What you sow into the lives of others, you will reap in your own life.
Tomorrow we will talk about RED ALERT 9 - WAVERING AND DOUBLEMINDEDNESS
