The perils of selective listening to Jesus!

“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. Exodus 19:5

Most believers listen to the things they want to hear from God but discard the more difficult words of Jesus.

The difficult words always relate to the Cross and deal with your personal sin. 

The failure to listen and obey God led to the destruction of the Israelites and caused them to be scattered into desolation.

Salvation is the process of dying to self and living for Christ. 

The Holy Spirit examines your thoughts and actions to remove the impediments blocking the fullness of God in your life.

This lifelong scrutiny of God is designed to protect you from evil and give you a healthy and abundant life. 

The voice of God teaches you about the significance of your covenant with Jesus and how to live in oneness with Him.

Most importantly, your obedience to the voice of God will make you a powerful witness for Jesus. 

God will never force you to obey His voice but you will have to deal with the consequences of selective listening.
