Matthew 13:15 (NKJV)
For the hearts of this people have grown dull. [Their] ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, Lest they should understand with [their] hearts and turn, So that I should heal them. 

“and turn, So I should heal them”

There is such promise in these words of life.. A simple turning to God is all that is required... 

Regardless of how far one has strayed, or the condition of one’s heart, a simple recognizing that they need help, and than a simple turning, that “I should heal them” says the God of love..

The turning is our part, the healing is His. But before He can do His, we must do ours. But ours, is to be a continual and constant turning. A moment by moment turning....For to the degree of the turning, will be the degree of the healing. One will only be in proportion to the other....

Eyes have to see, ears have to hear, the heart has to understand. But what is it they need to see, hear and understand? 

That we are helpless in ourselves to heal ourselves... Which calls for the recognition that we are blind, that we don’t see, that we don’t understand, and that we don’t hear.....But the cure for this state, is the turning to Him...

But to be brought to this state, where we see we are in such a state, is where the tears, the crying, the pain comes in....To be brought so low before God where we, in humility, turn in child like trust and hope to Him to be healed from all that plagues us....

Than it is, He rises with healing in His wings....

Than the blind eyes sees, the deaf ear hears, the heart understands. Love has come in to heal...Because the God of love was allowed to come in on His own terms, in His own way.... For the God of love waits to heal, if only the heart would know it’s need and “turn”...

To the hearts that are willing to turn, may the love of God bless, heal, grow the blessings of the Divine nature in all those that would be willing to turn..

A fellow servant of His, Not me

NICE POST friend and very helpful to those 'of a willing Heart ! 2 Cor 8v12 God needs to see a 'willing Mind first to be accepted....then He will know it truly is 'your own desire (to TURN for inst)  There is also a scripture telling us we need to be CONVERTED   similar to TURNING  in order to enter the KGD of God  Mat 18v3. 

But WHO are people to turn to ? Christians see no need for turning ....maybe they should reconsider !

 

“ Turn to me and I will turn to you”....... it’s all you need to know to be saved.....Turn to God as the hopeless, helpless , lost Sinner that you are and He will do the rest......it takes Trust........That is all God has ever looked for ....

You say Christians see no need for turning.....can you explain what you mean please?

 

I turn to God everyday.

Turning is similar to repentance from the word Re - pent.  Pent : just think of the pent house. The pent house is always the one on the highest floor level. Christian needs to not be content to where they are but to be reaching out always to go higher in God. The Christian walk is from glory to glory.

But many seems to be content wandering around the wilderness like Israel of old.  They stay on the same level . In Hebrews 6, the doctrine of repentance and faith towards God is a foundational doctrine. Its not talking about when you first got saved. Its talking about your progress in God from one level of glory to a higher level of glory. 

Look at the pent house and re- pent. Rise up and go to up to a higher level of glory.

I was one such person...I can't say I was ever content wandering around....I needed more.....my progress came from God....I can do nothing in my own strength....the Holy Spirit has got me to the place I am in today....

I stayed focused on him and only him.....I am on a deeper level with God.....I wouldn't say a higher level of glory....as only God can be glorified.

He that has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the churches. This is the exhortation that Jesus gave the most to the church. Again in Hebrews, today if you will hear his voice do not harden your hearts as Israel in the wilderness. 

@Not me is correct to be writing this post. Our hearts have become dull and needs to be awaken with fresh fire.

But before He can do His, we must do ours.

I suggest that is not so.

God is quite capable of doing his will with or without any man's doings. Man does not enable God, God enables man, as God wills, when God wills, by God's will. None come to God  except when He first calls to each  of his own to Him.

Are you saying God forces His Will on people and they have no choice ?  Deut 30v19 says otherwise.

John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Balance, sister--balance.

Would God DRAW anyone who does NOT WANT to go ? it's very doubtful as He would have to use force, which is not God's way. So I assume WE have to be willing for our part.

Can you be willing regarding something you have no idea of? This is not a rhetorical question.

Does not everyone who is in deep trouble realise they need GOD ?  could be they just have not yet had the worst experience ever !  also God is not saving all at the same time....each in their own order  1 Cor 15v23, when it is their turn.

That was not my experience. Jesus revealed Himself to me in a moment. He told me that He was the 'Truth'.

He drew me to Himself, told me the Truth and put faith in my heart to believe. It was not something I generated or worked to have in any way.

I'm sure He uses different methods to draw people, depending on their attitude and tendencies, some need stronger measures (suffering) than others.

Betha--my point here is that it wasn't by my will that I was saved.

Are you familiar with that verse?

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
