    Seeing And Hearing Again

    Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013

    The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

    Eyes to See The Pharisees were trained and schooled to recognize God, to hear His voice and to know what God was saying. They looked for something that was so obviously close, but never saw Him. When He actually came on that Christmas, they did not even recognize Him. In fact, even when He spoke, ...read more

    We all have names and people knows us by that names. Some of us are not seen in the light of our names, but God sees who we trully are. Therefore God calls us by our names, not as people or the world calls us. Zacchaeus was such a person.

Some people are not happy with the names they were given and they will sometimes use abbreviated forms of their names. None the less everyone likes to be ...read more

    Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

    We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more
