“In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:20-21)

If our human soul is given to us for the purpose of receiving messages from an intelligent Creator, a whole new realm of life opens up to us. But how do we know if we are hearing God correctly? Just like dirt on the lens of a telescope can keep you from gazing into the heavens; just like dirt inside a radio can ruin your reception; so unconfessed sin can block your spiritual vision and hearing. Ultimately what messages I receive from my Creator will determine what will eventually happen to me. So I must regularly claim the Power of the Blood of Jesus to cleanse me from all sin (I John 1:7) so there will be little interference that would keep me from receiving clear life changing messages from God through His supernaturally inspired Word in the Bible
