Ron:
Hello everyone I am Ron your host and, on this podcast, we’ll be talking about hearing and speaking the word of God. Those who have a drive to bring God’s kingdom to this earth must first have ears created in them to hear His Word before they can speak a word from God. Let’s listen in to the teaching of the Holy Spirit and believe to have created within us, ears to hear His word.
What I understand of the early church is they did not expound scriptures; they believed and spoke by faith the word from God that changed people’s hearts; framed an age. They had to listen to an apostolic word; had to listen to the prophet speak, and then believe in the impartation of that, and open their mouths, and speak a word from God. Think about these people; what they were receiving had to come from a living epistle.
Sandy:
Speaking the truth in love. That’s the true thing of whether it’s the word of the Lord or not; is whether it’s the truth in love, and the authority of the Lord coming through, and they could feel that I am sure. They could tell the difference between somebody who was narrating, just exposéing; as opposed to somebody who was really sharing their heart with one another.
I mean you can read the word without the life, without the truth in your heart and it just becomes something you study just like any literature but you have to have the life in your heart to get it imparted to you and to others.
Ron:
Well, we are speaking about living epistles tonight. We’re speaking about the difference between what I would consider; I am not putting down a scholar, because there is nothing wrong with studying the word and being a scholar of the word. Without the relationship of Christ behind it, without the relationship to the body of Christ, and the members of the body; it’s worthless. It is just a bunch of head knowledge and the pumping up of ego. Like Paul, Paul is a perfect example. Pharisee of Pharisees, but yet after he had his meeting with the Lord it changed his whole spirit; it changed his whole drive, his whole attitude, his heart. The relationship that’s where things are sparked, that is where things are alive.
The point I am making is we have been talking about the early church and then we are talking about today back and forth and we’re talking about Christ. This is probably controversial. I don’t think Christ wanted to be put on a pedestal.
Sandy:
Right.
Ron:
I think Christ wanted to be an example to people of how you can walk with God, and how you can you can speak His Word, and have a relationship with the Father. To me, without that, it is just religion.
Dale:
Christ is the firstborn of many brethren and He is the example, the pattern Son that God sent to the earth to provide a way to be created into those people that God can use in the earth.
Ron:
Before you can speak a word from God you have to have ears to hear a word from God. And if you think about it, what Christ said every time He spoke He would say, those who have ears to hear, let them hear a word from God. There are a lot of people out there who are preaching, a lot of people that are quote speaking a word from God, and it is not a word from God. God has to create ears to hear a living word from God. Everyone of us sitting here didn’t start out speaking the word of God. We sat under mentors and they were speaking a word from God, and it created the capacity within us to hear a word from God which then enabled us to begin to speak a word from God.
Today there are so many men and women of God out there that are in churches, and they are anointed men and women of God, and they are speaking an anointed word. So here’s two people sitting in the congregation. One person has ears, and when that words spoken it hits them, it changes them, they walk in it. The other person it goes right over their head. Same place, two different people.
Well on this podcast we found out that having ears to hear God’s word is crucial if we are those who are called to speak His word and bring His Kingdom to this earth.
