My Thoughts Wesley Crawford

For This People’s Heart Has Grown Dull

Matt 13:15 For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them. ESV

I was awakened the other morning by the Lord, He gave me the above verse. I wrote it  down, expecting He’d tell me what to do with it later.

When I started writing this article, I wrote the verse and one sentence, then did nothing for a couple of days. I felt blocked and I didn’t know what to write. So as not to make things worse, I left it for a while.

A young man I know came to mind, he’s filled with great anger and hate towards God. His eyes and ears are shut to God and his heart is turned to where God isn’t.  While on my mind, I prayed for him a bit. When I returned to my writing, I looked at the verse and the one sentence written and things became clear. This young man was what I was to write about, not him as a person, but him as a type of person.

The world is filled with people, who don’t now, nor ever will, know God. Understand, as bad as that is, that’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is, that the church, by majority, is the same way. This is why we, the body of Christ, have not, and are not now, seeing the miracles of God happen daily, the way they did in the first century church.

We must repent. We’ve taken advantage of His grace. How much longer do you expect God to allow our disobedience. Don’t in your arrogance, put it off for another day. Today may be your last chance.

God said, “ Turn and I will heal you.”
