Each of us must make the choice to truly listen and believe what God says.<br/>His disciples came and asked him, <br/>“Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?” <br/>He replied, “You are permitted to understand <br/>the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but others are not. <br/><br/>To those who listen to my teaching,<br/> more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. <br/>But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding <br/>they have will be taken away from them.”<br/><br/>“That is why I use these parables, for they look but they don’t really see. <br/> they hear, but they don’t really listen or understand. <br/>This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, <br/>‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend.’ ” <br/><br/>Jesus explains again. When we don’t understand God’s words or actions, we’re looking with hollow eyes, and aren’t truly listening.<br/><br/>For the hearts of these people are hardened, and<br/> their ears cannot hear, and <br/>they have closed their eyes <br/>so their eyes cannot see and <br/>their ears cannot hear and<br/> their hearts cannot understand, and <br/>they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.<br/><br/>Listen to the words of Jesus, precious people. When we can’t understand or can’t hear what God is saying, it’s because of our hard hearts. When we have a hard heart, we can’t turn to Jesus. We can’t be healed as long as our hearts are hard. Our hard hearts stop our soul, mind, and body from being healed.<br/><br/>**Believe God Discipleship Library-Book 1<br/><br/><a href="http://http://www.westernmeadows.com/#!believe-god-study-books/coqd" target="_blank">Western Meadows-Believe God</a></p>
