A heart that is waxed Gross

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.


A heart that is waxed gross is not a pleasant statement. It is a statement which means ones heart has become dull and fat that it cannot discern the supernatural things of God. It also means a heart that is hardened, insensitive, calloused to the word of God. 


How does a man reach that place of being insensitive and indifferent? They reach a place where they nolonger believe in the simple promises of "thus says the Lord." In short they simply nolonger believe God's word. 


There are many people who make the Word complicated, yet it is not. This leads to incorrect assumptions and incorrect conclusions and beliefs that hinder the flow of God in their lives. God is nolonger what the scripture says but what their reasoning says. For example God's word provides for our healing but they don't believe so. It provides for our deliverance, but they again never believe so. It provides for our prosperity but they still do not believe so. All they believe is what they believe and what they believe is all in their power to do or achieve. To them, if the doctors cannot cure it, if their salary cannot support it, if their past experience does not conform to it, then they don't want to risk believing it for fear of it not coming to pass.. They leave faith to young believers. They have phrases like "do not have high hopes lest you become disappointed if they don't materialize." This is contrary to someone who takes God at His Word. 


If you can just live in awe and in firm belief of everything God is doing daily in your life, you will be blessed continually and see God's power flow without end.


Further scriptures 


Matthew 13:15 (AMP) For this nation's heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
