Not Enough< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Isaiah 29:13-14, Luke 8:19-21

It is not enough when you hear and not do what you have heard in the word. Are you religious, or are you a believer? If what you are hearing is not evident in your life, it means you are not living the word. Hearing the word does not qualify one as a believer.  Hearing the word and doing the word is what qualifies one as a believer. JesusÕ response to those that went to deliver a message that His mother and brothers were looking for Him was a clear message that just hearing and not doing the word is an error; it is incomplete and will not count one as a believer. Luke 8:19, ÒBut He answered them and said to them, ÔMy mother and My brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.ÕÓ It does not matter how much or how often you draw to Him, the word has to be in you and you need to do what the word says. In these days, drawing to Him should never be a yardstick in measuring or identifying one as a believer. Today, so many are drawing unto God with their mouth while their heart and ears are outside. Matthew 15:8, ÒThese people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.Ó  Ask God for the grace to open the ears of your heart that will enable you in His word. You hear the word of God with the ear and you listen with the heart.
