Perception, Reception and Conception

UV 3716/10000 Perception, Reception and Conception The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the (omnipotent) Lord has made both of them. Proverbs 20 v 12 We ought to hear and see not as man hears and sees but as God sees and hears. The Lord is sensitive, all knowing, all seeing, all hearing. We need to avoid superficial seeing and hearing and choose supernatural seeing and hearing. We should also be aware that the Lord who has made our wonderful ears and eyes is able to see and hear us, every word and every thought and emotion He sees and hears. We cannot hide anything from Him. He is the source of every human faculty and power. He is the Omnipotent and omnicompetent One. We are who we are by His grace. We are what we are by His grace. We are where we are by His grace. We need to quieten ourselves and be still and listen to His voice, His word. It enables us to see and hear the Lord. His word is a supernatural lamp that enables us to feel, see and hear the Lord who is invisible to all others who rely only on their natural senses. The priest’s ears were anointed in the Hebrew tradition so that he will be enabled to hear God. His eyes were anointed so that He will see God and the invisible realm. His lips were anointed so that his lips of knowledge of God and His ways are a precious vessel of preciousness that will save, preserver, encourage, enable the hearers. When our hearing and seeing are so blessed by the Lord, we experience the power of God in all aspects of life, in 360 degrees, 365 days of the year. We need to pray for such deeper hearing and deeper seeing. Then, our eyes will not be lit up by the sun’s rays but the Son’s grace. Our ears will pick up not just physical sounds but the deep wisdom, revelation and insight of the Lord. For this to happen, from time to time in a day, we should zone out of this world and zone into the O-zone- the zone of omnipotence, omnilove, omniscience, omnipresence of the Lord God. The Holy Spirit seeing our earnestness, our zeal will quicken or enable our ears to hear God, our eyes to perceive the Lord. When the old man, Simeon perceived Jesus, the infant in His mother’s arms, his heart leaped up with joy. When the child in the mother’s womb, the future John the Baptist heard the voice of Mary, the mother, the child leapt up in the womb. When we hear and see the Lord, insightful revelations are released, exciting things unfold.
