Defects/distortions in hearing

Genesis 3
The enemy sowed a seed of doubt, having created a relationship with the woman. Doubt comes in a question form. Do not give the devil a foothold.
Distortion.
Exaggeration.


Seeds sowed.
1. Deception.
2. Disobedience.
3. Rebellion.
4. Death.
 Deut. 28:66

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:6‭-‬8 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.6-8.NKJV

The enemy created enticement and aroused fleshly craving.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
James 1:13‭-‬15 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.13-15.NA

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
I John 2:15‭-‬17 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.2.15-17.NKJV

The man failed God.
1. He did not interrupt the conversation.
2. He did not articulate the laws clearly.
3. He did not refuse to eat.

Illegal eyes and a false sense of awareness. 

Hearing God

Hearing God became alien when man fell.
Salvation in Jesus Christ restores the capacity to hear.

Objectives.
1. Define and establish clear doctrine about hearing God.
2. Clarify
3. Develop a capacity to eliminate and filter all mystic misnomers associated with false prophetic positions.
4. Activate the innate prophetic gift given to everyone.
5. Affirm. Consolidate the gains.

God's Command

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

The Origin of Accurate Hearing & Hearing Defects

Matthew 19:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

Genesis 1:26-31 English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[a] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

God:
1. Declared intent.
2. Created man.
3. Blessed him.
4. Spoke to the man.
5. Placed man in the garden.
6. Commanded him.
7. Gave him the consequences of disobedience.

Deductions.
1. It is human and normal to be blessed of the Lord.
2. It is human and normal for man to hear God. Hearing God should be as normal as breathing.
3. To be prophetic.
Numbers 11.
4. To have a context. A set of circumstances that surround our lives.
5. To obey God within the context.
6.To suffer for violation. Choices have consequences.

If we hear God, we must obey. Hearing and obedience are interrelated.

Romans 12:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
A Living Sacrifice
12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[d]


Issues of Image
Colossians 1:15
Hebrews 1:3
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”

Hindrances to Migration

1. Wrong Mindsets. 2 Corinthians 10:5
(a) Superstition
(b) Tradition.
(c) Sentimental mindset. So attached to a place that you go astray. Nehushtan.
(d) Illogicality. We move not by sight but by faith.
(e) Toxic mindset. Containing poison. Such Mindsets lack purity.

2. Wrong Company. 1 Kings 11:1-5

3. Absence of faith. Faith dispels fear, propels the believer to take risks.
Mark 10:50-52.
Hebrews 11:6

4. Rebellion. Plain disobedience to the Word of God.
Jonah
1 Samuel 15:22

5. The Flesh.
1 Corinthians 10:5-11
To be carnally minded is death.
Spiritual life. Romans 8 and Galatians 5.

6. Ignorance. Hosea 4:6. 2 Kings 17:32-33
Ignorance and fear led to idolatry.

7. The spirit of fear. The ten spies feared the giants in the land. This inhibited their migration.
Numbers 13:32-33.

8. Material comfort and security.
Luke 12:19-20
It is wrong to trust in riches.

9. The spirit of control
The prophetic voice accelerates migration into the current speaking of God. But the spirit of Jezebel is antagonistic to the prophetic.

10. Spiritual deafness.
Matthew 13:13-16

A lack of sensitivity to the things of God hinders our migration.

Examples of Inaccurate Migration.
1. Demas. 2 Timothy 4:10

2. Elimelech. My God is King. Ruth 1:1-2
Elimelech died in the place of inaccuracies.

3. Lot. Genesis 10:10-13.
Jordan. To descend/decline. Lot descended. He sank to a lower level.
Sodom. Burning.
Gomorrah. Submerged.
Lot camped near the place of sin. His righteous soul was vexed.

4. Abram. Genesis 12:10-11
He left the promised land to go to Egypt. There he acquired Hagar and subsequently had Ishmael.

5. The young Prophet. 1 Kings 13:14-17.
He went to Bethel but in violation of the Word of God. He ended in tragedy.
The thing/system/friend/order that tempts you against God is the very thing/system/friend/order that pronounces judgment upon you.

6. Jacob. Genesis 33 & 34.
Don't try to authenticate an illegality by spiritualizing it.
Instead of going to Hebron, he went to Shechem.

We must wage a good war against hindrances to Migration.

ANTHEM: Strategies for Fighting Lust

Lust
A desire that we should not have because it is untethered from the purifying effects of Christ and is therefore directed to the wrong object or is so out of proportion or unsuited to its object as to disorder our thoughts or feelings or actions.

Christ centered, gospel rooted strategies for overcoming lust:
Avoid
No
Turn
Hold
Enjoy
Move

Avoid
2 Tim 2:19-22
But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

• What sort of situations have defiling effects on our desires?

Romans 13:12-14

The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on  the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh , to gratify its desires.

• Avoid the stimulus and associations that drag us towards lust. 

Blessed are the pure in heart-001

• Jesus is concerned with our heart. It is not enough to clean up our act on the outside.
• The aim of Jesus Christ is not reform the manners of society, but to change the hearts of sinners.
• The heart is what you are, in the secrecy of your thought and feeling, when nobody knows but God.
• What you are at the invisible root matters as much to God as what you are at the visible branch.
• Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
• From the heart are all the issues of life.
• The heart is utterly crucial to Jesus. What we are in the deep, private recesses of our lives is what he cares most about.
• Jesus did not come into the world because we have bad habits that need to be broken. He came into the world because we have such dirty hearts that need to be purified.
