Romans 10:17

NKJV

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 

Hebrews 10: 19-25

NKJV

19 Therefore, brethren, having  boldness to enter  the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and  living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us  draw near with a true heart  in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for  He who promised is ...

“And God gave Paul the power to do unusual miracles, so that even when his handkerchiefs or parts of his clothing were placed upon sick people, they were healed, and any demons within them came out.” Acts 19:11

What do you hear?

We hear what we want to hear.

Sounds go through the gateway of the ear 24/7. Some catch our attention. Others go in and out never making a lasting imprint.

Yet, others go completely unnoticed. People develop selective hearing. Two people can hear the same sounds, one will take it all in; the other won't even recall hearing anything.

We hear what we want to hear.
