VIII. MAIN BODY:

Luke 11:27-28 (Amplified Bible)

Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!

But He said, Blessed (happy and to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey and practice it!

Luke 11:27-28 (King James Version)

And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

A. People call blessed the mother that nursed the LORD in the womb.

"And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked."

Luke 1:28 (Amplified Bible)

And he came to her and said, Hail, O favored one [endued with grace]! The Lord is with you! Blessed (favored of God) are you before all other women!

Luke 1:42 (Amplified Bible)

And she cried out with a loud cry, and then exclaimed, Blessed (favored of God) above all other women are you! And blessed (favored of God) is the Fruit of your womb!

Luke 1:48 (Amplified Bible)

For He has looked upon the low station and humiliation of His handmaiden. For behold, from now on all generations [of all ages] will call me blessed and declare me happy and to be envied!

ILLUSTRATION: Only the angel and Elizabeth called Mary, the mother of JESUS as blessed but not JESUS. To whom we will believe? the LORD JESUS CHRIST of course.

People call those things they don't understand as blessed but would rather be a watcher but not a participator.

Some biblical facts about the miracles of GOD in connection with practicing it:

1. People will only follow if it benefits them physically.

John 6:26-27 (Amplified Bible)

Jesus answered them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, you have been searching for Me, not because you saw the miracles and signs but because you were fed with the loaves and were filled and satisfied.

Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes [in the using], but strive and work and produce rather for the [lasting] food which endures [continually] unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him.

2. The LORD JESUS CHRIST will not trust these type of people who are after only miracles.

John 2:23-24 (Amplified Bible)

But when He was in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, many believed in His name [identified themselves with His party] after seeing His signs (wonders, miracles) which He was doing.

But Jesus [for His part] did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all [men];

3. People will keep doing their own sin after they saw miracles

Acts 8:13 (Amplified Bible)

Even Simon himself believed [he adhered to, trusted in, and relied on the teaching of Philip], and after being baptized, devoted himself constantly to him. And seeing signs and miracles of great power which were being performed, he was utterly amazed.

4. There must be preaching of the WORD first and it will be accompanied by signs, wonders and miracles not the other way around.

Romans 15:19 (Amplified Bible)

[Even as my preaching has been accompanied] with the power of signs and wonders, [and all of it] by the power of the Holy Spirit. [The result is] that starting from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyricum, I have fully preached the Gospel [faithfully executing, accomplishing, carrying out to the full the good news] of Christ (the Messiah) in its entirety.

The LORD JESUS CHRIST wants us to become practitioners of the WORD not just a hearer of it. He wants us to participate in His miracles not just spectators. The LORD JESUS CHRIST will not tolerate us asking for signs to believe but we believe because it's based on the WORD OF GOD not needing miracles to convince it, but be convince by the WORD OF GOD.

Matthew 12:39 (Amplified Bible)

But He replied to them, An evil and adulterous generation (a generation morally unfaithful to God) seeks and demands a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

James 1:22 (Amplified Bible)

But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].

Seeing a dead person coming back to life will convince us of GOD? Not really. But we are convinced by the WORD OF GOD.

Luke 16:31 (Amplified Bible)

He said to him, If they do not hear and listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded and convinced and believe [even] if someone should rise from the dead.

Be founded by the WORD OF GOD because it's the greatest foundation we can have on this earth.

Luke 6:47-48 (Amplified Bible)

For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words [in order to heed their teaching] and does them, I will show you what he is like:

He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock.

B. But JESUS calls blessed those who hear the WORD of GOD and practices it.

"But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."

James 1:21-25 (Amplified Bible)

So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted [in your hearts] contains the power to save your souls.

But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth].

For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror;

For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like.

But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).

1 John 3:21-24 (Amplified Bible)

And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God,

And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.

And this is His order (His command, His injunction): that we should believe in (put our faith and trust in and adhere to and rely on) the name of His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and that we should love one another, just as He has commanded us.

All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand and have the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.

Matthew 12:48-50 (Amplified Bible)

But He replied to the man who told Him, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?

And stretching out His hand toward [not only the twelve disciples but all] His adherents, He said, Here are My mother and My brothers.

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother!

We are called disciples that are disciplined in the WORD of GOD for us to follow and obey.

John 21:24 (Amplified Bible)

It is this same disciple who is bearing witness to these things and who has recorded (written) them; and we [well] know that his testimony is true.

ILLUSTRATION: The apostle of love, John, is a disciple, and the bible testifies to him, describing him as (1) being a witness, or bearing the witness who is the HOLY SPIRIT inside of him, (2) he has kept a record of all these things [our devotional notebooks] , (3) is well-known to practice what he preaches.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You blessed me every time I hear GOD'S WORDS and practices it.
