" hearer and a doer "

Now that our Revival Week is over, a good question to ask ourselves is; Has anything changed? (Jas 1:25) “But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” Hearing the Word of God and doing the Word of God are two separate things all together. Even the unsaved can practice the first, but a wise man will hear God’s Word and continue therein. I have been to many evangelistic meetings over the past 28 years, and there has never been a meeting where God did not convict me of something, and I have also learned over the past 28 years that unless I write down my conviction and determine in my heart to obey it right away, I will soon forget what God spoke to me about. These meetings are to be liberating, in that we are to acknowledge our sin, and let go of all sinful practices once God has revealed them to us, as well as practice what God has commanded. Over the years I have personally made decisions to serve more, come more, be involved more, give more, witness more, love more, etc., but with each decision comes the temptation to temporarily do, rather than permanently commit to God’s bidding. So, to be blessed by God, you must learn to be both a hearer and a doer.
