WHEN GOD TURNS A DEAF EAR

WHEN GOD TURNS A DEAF EAR

Zechariah 7 (KJV)

¹³ THEREFORE it is come to pass, 

that as He cried, 

and they would not hear; 

so they cried, 

and I would not hear, 

saith the LORD of hosts:

BECAUSE....

¹¹ ...they refused to hearken, 

and pulled away the shoulder, 

and stopped their ears, 

that they should not hear.

¹² Yea, they made their hearts 

as an adamant (hard) stone, 

lest they should hear the law, 

and the words which the LORD of hosts 

hath sent in His Spirit by the former prophets: 

THEREFORE 

came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Many think of God as a God of love and mercy (and He is), yet there is also a side of God that becomes angry if we harden our hearts and refuse to listen to His Words (the Bible) or the Preachers.  

Their stubbornness and rebellion brought God's wrath and angered Him so much that He refused to hear their cries since they refused to hear His cries.  

Think about it - They were ignoring God, therefore,  God was ignoring them. 

If we don't want God to ignore us, we do not need to ignore His Word, His instructions, or what He's telling us through the preachers.
