WHAT YOU HEAR DETERMINES WHERE YOU GO

“When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.”

Mark 5: 27 (KJV)

On Jesus’ way to Jairus’ house to heal his daughter, there was a delay caused by a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years. And the bible was careful enough to tell us that she suffered many things from many physicians. This woman was reasonably wealthy and had the best medical attention. But every medical attention given to her escalated the problem. Her situation got worse, and she was left for dead. Everyone had given up hope on her.

But she heard of Jesus. And that was the game-changer. I want you to understand that what you hear determines where you go. That is why you don’t open your ear as a garbage ground for everything. The world is filled with bad news, spreading like wildfire. Journalists will tell you they would rather carry bad news because bad news sells more than good news. They will amplify it even at times so everyone will desire to read it. So, we live in a world inundated with bad news. The newspaper, the television, the billboards, and virtually everything you watch tell you how it cannot happen or how things have gone haywire.

The question now is how are we going to survive. How are we going to make it in this challenging time? The answer is that you must watch what you hear because faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Fear also comes when you listen to what the devil is saying or what the world is saying.

The believer also does not walk by sight. The believer walks by faith. If there is any time we should walk by the word of God and by what God is saying, it is now. If you didn’t see it in the word of God, throw it into the garbage can. We are new creations! Old things have passed away, and all things have become new.
