Teach My Heart to Hear

4th verse Can you read in the king went to Gideon to sacrifice their? Well, that was the great high place. 1000 burnt offerings is Solomon OfferUp on and off. And giving him the Lord appeared to Solomon in a Dream by night and God said ass what I shall give you. Solomon said I had shown up to that serving David my father great Mercy according that she walk before the in truth and in righteousness and it's up brightness of hard. With God has kept him his great kindness kindness that God has given him a son to sit on his throne and it is it's that and now oh Lord my God, I have made the servant King instead of David my father and I am but a little child. I know not how to go out or come in in. My servant is in the midst of doctor about people with star has chosen a great people that cannot be number North County from Malta to give their service and understanding hard to judge. People that I may discern between good and bad for who was able to judge this. So brave and I want to I want to pause right there. As soon as I come went to this anyone's again. Tireder today is teach my heart to hear. And if you read that nine purse Solomon as he says yes GIF about serving and understanding car and when you translate that word understanding that word means to Peter. So what's Solomon asking for he's he's asking for the guy for God to give him a card that he hears. I want side think about that. Solomon's dancing for God to give him a heart that years and so we've been working through this. Inc back really quickly to all of the things that Solomon has please point out things that you saw David and his brother did dealing with his mom and his kin or taking care of his father's unfinished business. Now, he's not his seat is is firmly established last week Lord told us that we can't sacrifice but in the end only only one Alton that their demands so I were still solid has been through all your stuff. He loves the Lord but in a way he still torn between who he used to be. So now he is he's at gibeon and the reason that you remember from last week and reason that are sacrificed at these places is because a template of a house of worship has not been stabbed. So he's kind of you just kind of in the middle of it. All is in the middle of it all and so he goes to give him and he says is pregnant and I can imagine how he's going to get all of this stuff and use young and now he has his favor and he has his responsibility. I can imagine that he's overwhelmed and he just begins to pray to the Lord and Savior God. I need a hearing hard. Play so I don't know about all that but there's been times in your life with you come to a certain point. Like I tell the story of how on our honeymoon we went and I woke up and get today and I realized that I was made it finally hit me that I was married and I had kids and like okay now I got to ask you to do stuff.

Americano X your life when you started a new job. When are you leaving school or in school that you don't know what you going to do when you get out of this minutes transition stay in life seems so overwhelming Solomon begins to pray that you say God. Give me an understanding card. Remember this network understanding means to hear remember that we've been dealing with faith and hearing It's all God. I wrote down a question and God say what do you use to listen?

Did you use your place to do do you make decisions based on how you feel or what feels good good to you. Try to use your mind and your internet you try to think through everything and try to come up with the answer on your own, you know, or do you use your horn? If you use your hard. You can make a lot of bad choices because the heart is deceitful. I Heart by yourself tends to make us want to listen to our flesh iHeart by itself tends to make us want to do what feels good and so that's why Solomon's Prayer is so important because he said God give me understanding heart take my oh Lord. Oh lord. It's easy to say. Do you know he's asking for God to do something.

And use reason he spell his his reason for asking if she says imma be on child. I don't know how that I don't know how to start this thing. I don't know how to end this mean you giving me Fable. You may be responsible make me responsible for all of this and I don't know what to do with it. Is OVI in Ohio? begin to search

Just at work hard when we ask God to give us an understanding heart and so I want to go to Hebrews.

The third chapter the 7th through the 11th verse and a lot of people think that Peter wrote the book of Hebrews and I love how I remember disciples and the apostles are often used references to the Old Testament to explain to other people what Jesus did so they basically preach the gospel. And so this is what Peter says he says well for you today, if you would hear his voice Harden, not your hearts as in the day of provocation, which means rebellion in the day of Temptation, which means a trial in the wilderness, so he referred that you can be seated he refers back to win.

The Israelites were in the wilderness. In the Holy Spirit was talking to him and taking care of them, but they still murmur and complain and pretty much everywhere in y'all that I searched this word hard. It was time to hear it in some form or fashion. If your heart is not right you can't hear. If your heart is not right, you can't hear so Peter same as the Holy Ghost say it. So the Holy Ghost is talkin. What is he talkin to? He's not talkin to your mom, your answer me. He's not talking to your flesh. The holy spirit is trying to speak to your heart on today.

He's talking to your heart and he say when he speaks he says if today if you would hear his voice don't Harden your heart. Don't be like them in Rebellion on your father's texted me. So all the times we put God to a test and I guarantee every single time. Steps up to the plate that he delivers. So he say when your father is tested me. They prove me they saw my works for 40 years every single time. We say God I need you to do this. I need you to do that or we ask him being mean and you constantly shows us and all of this and y'all got to remember when they were in the wilderness. They had just been delivered. So all this is a part of of deliveries. So you say if you hit a Holy Ghost speaking Harden, not your heart because what happens to you when you harden your heart and words is this is what God Said you lose in 4 hours agreed with that generation and said they always error which needs to go and straighten the word says in their hearts, they always ever and they hard so what they tell me is When you trying to walk in the favor of God when you make a mistake the mistake is going to be made in your heart. It's not going to be a this decision cuz this right here is going to dictate how you think your heart is going to generate evil thoughts you going to act on those evil thoughts.

You going to act on it when we talk about when we talk about the saying a previous learning and I can't remember exactly which sermon it was but I was talking about how Satan tries to talk to you mine. You have to talk to your mind and you tries to put planks stuff into your mind to get you to ask the Holy Spirit wants to talk to your heart.

You want to talk to your heart's a mess to talk to your mind?

So he said it's hard not your heart and gods hate cuz if you do it would grieve me. He said they always hear that always going straight in their hearts and they have not known my ways. So I sweat in my Ram. They should not enter into my rest. So that particular generation didn't get to go to the promised land. So what I'm saying when God say I am I read it will not lose you to my wrist. Think about your anxiety. Think about your fears think about your worries think about your stressed and then think about the rest of God. The peace of God the comments in the comfort of God. When you don't have those things it's something that's going on in your heart. How do you say you said I'm saying I'm just letting you know where they're at. And xiety like you said, what does it come from is something going on in your heart and a lot of time with know what your heart is telling us. We trying to rationalize then I lying but that doesn't make it where we go away. Just got to go away in here. You got to have peace in your heart and then your thoughts about your situation will change and you will be alright. But when is something wrong with your spleen is guilt when it shamed whatever that's not that doesn't go that's not in your mind verses in your heart first. You feel it in your heart and then you think about it all the time and it wears you think about it all the time Twisted you keeps twisting their thought and see you at or to walk away from the church until you right now, but it's snowing here first. That's why God said he all he wants a always going straight in a mine. You say they always go with straight in there hard. So that helps us understand. Why solid and see if imma do this thing. I need an understanding hard. I need to be able to discern between right and wrong. So the sermon is the what is the mind? He say but my heart has to be right before I can discern with my mind. Show me the King James version. There are eight references in Exodus of God hardening the heart of pharaoh. So Moses, what do something to do in the word say God hardened his heart he mows. What do something else and then God hardened is hard and so each one of those times when you read that and it's hard. There's a connection being said in Faro did not hearken and Pharaoh did not miss it. So every time your heart up more at Your Heart lyrics No more stop it. You're hearing because and it gets to the point where it's in Timothy that says your conscience, which is your mind is gone the more you eat the more you resist the Holy Spirit Come on. Why would your purpose walk in your calling you do is bring the more he tells you to do that in the more you harden your heart the more it messes with your mind and what that looks like it is that's when you start feeling like saying I have you feeling like you stole it you can climb out and that's not the truth. That's just what you thinking. That's your mind that's hanging Playing Tricks on your mind. It is not God's trying to soften your heart and God is trying to speak to your heart and let you know the truth, but the same this morning and tricks on your mind. So there are eight references in Exodus with God hardened the heart of pharaoh. And as I was thinking that I was thinking this thing is so unfair by why would God Harden somebody taller If he if he has the power to just softly but we got to remember that Pharaoh was not a good person is not like God took a good person and then hard Mason Harmony Hall light. Pharaoh was already he was he had hundreds of thousands of slaves. He was cruel. There were times when when Pharaoh's ordered Hebrew baby boys to be killed had to be put in the river the same as not so Sarah was not a good person. This is not an instance of God taking a good person and making them mad. person who got tried to speak my people go but inmates. Is he in feet and so what happens if when you harden Your Heart Like I said, you don't want to obey me. Imma give you what you want.

I'm allowed to be not the person I want you to be with the person I created you to be I'm not allow you to be the person that you want.

You tell him a lie you to be the person that you want to be.

From Psalms 84 tells us for the Lord. God is a sun and shield the Lord will give Grace and Glory. No good thing. Will he withhold from them being? So God gives good. He restrains evil God how he wants for you is good against spouse to it. You are good. He restrains evil. Is sometimes it may not seem like that as I was writing inside I said so. Okay, God I hear you saying that you only give good but what happens when a person get right answer that or murder occurs, they didn't ask for that or child get some of you why you didn't like restrain a whole day. A song that's that's good. That's that's the problem of evil. That's the problem of semien.

and when we feel like We haven't participated in that type of people. That's when this word right here becomes as hard as loud takeout. You say your thoughts and told me I could why did you allow all this bad stuff to happen to me?

in my answer to that is This is this is why Solomon's Prayer. It should give you understanding of it. Because we live in a world where sin exists for whatever reason. And if you just look at the world as it is and God doesn't give you an understanding hard. Don't give up. You can quit is like the Lord told us last week that we should maybe we should have an answer or be able to explain the hope that's in this like we should be able to explain that thing that we holding on to.

I don't have it. When I I seen people take a tragedy in a life and turn around and serve the Lord now.

You know, I can't explain why God like why that particular thing had to happen for you to get it. I can't explain it. But God if you speak to my heart and help me discern was good. It was

Did you speak to my heart then I think about these things that happened to me. I think about them differently and I still be able to praise you in advance like the song said give me a break. Love to love you in NN cherish you. So you should help us understand. Solomon's Prayer even more in the way. The reason that I know this is what God wants us to do cuz when we look at 1st Kings 3 and 10 the word says that solemn speech please God that he didn't answer his thing. You said you didn't ask for long life. I want you to think about the worst tragedy that has ever happened in your life and life is all that you need 50 more years. Is that going to make a change to go away?

You know, if you don't mind me going home, I can hurry still happy you say you didn't ask for riches. Think about your worst tragedy in God give you $1,000 or a million dollars. That doesn't make it go away. Am I making you feel better temporarily but that's not going to satisfy. It doesn't make it go away. You say you didn't ask for remaining.

Somebody going to jail and somebody getting the death penalty does not change the fact that it's a tragedy occurred.

Matter fact they could have asked for forgiveness repenting and going to heaven and you still hear angry, even though they got the death penalty if you don't have forgiveness.

You say you but instead of asking for those things you asked for understanding understand it, but me and my question to you is for what what you going to do with it when you get it. I thought about my Oliveri you said that he's passionate about truth and he's passionate about understanding but the word tells us what solid you say understanding so that I can discern judge me so I can so I can do something with it. I need it to be king. I need it to be a ruler. I need it so I can favor I needed to walk in my responsibility. I needed to walk my purpose because I'm surrounded by great people that I can't let down. I can't fail in this test. I need to understand. We are. And I say, okay now what you going to do with it?

You know when God when we were praying and I thank God for my son and my daughter that got make a house when we were praying for our house. We said God when you give us our house, we don't open our doors. Are we going to do you going to entertain and we don't make ourselves friend of your we going to be hospitable. We not going to be stingy with the blessing that you know, I know that some of y'all have said that before when you got that first car, you would like you would bringing people to church in and not asking for gas money cuz you knew that it was a blessing. I was like whatever God gives being a question he is. Okay, what you going to do with it? It's all Solomon asked for understanding. In order to discern what's right and what's wrong and so as we come to a Carl's and this is the first time I'm so I did not say that she would all be short and good recipe calls for me. This is the first Sunday in March. We going to have a butt GIF speak of it advisable have I first get speed in this building on this Sunday? Hopefully y'all know what I know. We've been throwing out a lot of different new things and new new new things and and processes and things to remember what March is I focus for Sunday school topics for Bible study. I promise the next Sunday for the month of March is a is the way to Christ. It's all in January. We talked about roster if she is important in February we talked about seeing and you are so I'm going to talk about the way the Christ or God laid the foundation. You said you got to have my word. Number one. You got to have my word to be safe. We got to have my word to hear. You got my words understand fight, even the responsibility that you've given and then you got to understand that. This is not going to be an easy mode because of sin. CNN seeing is going to try to make you miss them are little children. Phoenix on Charter to throw you off your game and it's going to take you out seeing some of your present tense of your past. You got to be on guard seeing some trying to take you out last night. We going to learn the way the cops. I'm going to ask God to give us an understanding. We going to start off the month by saying God give us an understanding hard and not just with no reason at all to give us an understanding hard so that we can discern the difference between Good and Evil. We started out last night in talking about that the Bedrock City on the foundation of his church. So we know that one is it is we want to understand the car to discern between good and evil and the way to drop to crisis to prevent yourself as a Living Sacrifice. Begin a sacrifice something. Living Sacrifice, we not going to give God the dead stuff that we don't that we don't want. You going to give it to we going to go to his house and then we going to get it? Is that cuz I was going to come by and take it right. It's on Marge's about the way to Christ. The first step to Christ is here in his car. So God is saying on today when you get a hold of this leader speaking or not so hard that's the first step to give to crisis to when he calls you respond. When he calls you. respond

What are you called you? You got to respond to it. I would like to thank God for Is 100 off today?
