My people have deaf ears!

“For as the sash clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me, says the Lord, that they may become My people, for renown, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.” Jeremiah 13:11

Good Morning, I was greeted by God on Sunday with the words “My people have deaf ears.”

This is the holiday season and a perfect time to find oneness with Jesus. You and I have the mind of Christ and God wants us to listen for His voice and respond with obedience. 

The voice of God is not hidden from you. He speaks to His people. The voice of God comes to all those who live under the authority of the Holy Spirit and seek the cover of the blood of Jesus.

To grasp the significance of this teaching you have to substitute the “Body of Christ” for the “the full house of Israel and the full house of Judah” in the scripture above. This places you into the reality of the words of God for today. 

God instructed Jeremiah, the prophet, to hide a sash under a rock in the wilderness.

After a long period of time He told Jeremiah to retrieve the sash. Jeremiah complied and found a rotten garment worth nothing. 

This prompted God to respond with the words above. 

God built a strong bond with the Israelites through the everlasting covenant He made with Abraham. On Mount Sinai God said if you obey My voice and keep My covenant you will be a special treasure to Me above all the people for all the earth is Mine.

God transformed a small tribe of Israelites into a powerful nation. 

You and I live under this covenant. Remember, Jesus said before Abraham I Am. You are a descendant of Abraham and entitled to all the promises of Christ.

God said that all those living under this covenant with Abraham are to display the attributes of renown, praise and glory. This is your commitment to God and will only happen to those walking with God anchored to the Holy Spirit.

God concludes this admonition with the words “they would not hear.”

The challenge for believers is to not become a rotten garment discarded by God.

We have to repent from our sins and return to Jesus with an open heart to seek His will through prayer and listening for His voice.

The Holy Spirit lives in you and He desires to speak to you and help you walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

There is no one like Jesus!
